According to a Bloomberg article online, Devon is a takeover or merger target for 2016. The article also mentions Oxy and Encana as candidates. Curious as to your thoughts? Possibility or crap?

Office staff in Calgary were let go, along with supervisors, operation and maintenance staff in the 3 plants in the north. My severance was pretty good, I'm sure they all were.

Now that I survived the layoffs what is the appropriate time to wait to ask for a raise, since I am now one of the recognized producers.

It feels like there are less people at Devon. But of course Devon never lays people. The were 2 people let go in our department in the last few months, but I think it was performance based.
