Accounting Layoffs over the Holidays?
Now that operations has been impacted, accounting should follow suit 2-3 months later. Christmas gift of freedom maybe?
New Vision 2020 Objective? Drive a once great company into the ground.
I would assume by now that DH has posted a heart-felt video saying how "difficult" this is for him. Makes you wonder how many takes it took for him to actually appear sincere. Fortunate for him, he did hire the best acting coach shareholder money can... — read more
Vision 2020 near complete
Don’t forget to put on your hard hats boys!!!
Next on the auction block...
CNRL got the assets for a song and a dance. Market realizes that and DVN stock flat/punished. Sad, went from a decent company to a POS. Next on the auction block, DVN Energy.

Who will think of the poor VPs?
Wow, what a monumental announcement they just made. There’s likely to be hundreds of people laid off in the next month. And it now looks like a whopping 3 of them will be VP level or higher. It is a New Devon, after all. I just pray we can survive... — read more
Layoff Postponed for Devon Spooktacular
I know everyone is wondering why the layoff didn't happen yesterday. I have it on good authority that the Board wanted it pushed into October so it could be rolled into the Devon Spooktacular™ festivities. So use this reprieve to get your... — read more
Wisdom of T Boone
T Boone Pickens once said “If you’re not replacing your assets, you’re liquidating.” Smart man.
Keep on Dancing
Our company just spent two weeks dancing and making absolute fools of themselves. What happened to a professional work environment? Meanwhile Continental, EOG, ConocoPhillips, etc are working hard, growing, and creating value. I doubt they announce... — read more
6 Years Ago, I Hit The Lottery
6 days ago, I hit it again. It’s pretty weird to be so glad that I no longer work for a company that I was so happy to have me hire, but there you have it.

Now that all of AP’s supply chain contacts are laid off, more problems will plague the group. PO integration will get worse, more invoicing issues, etc. Several people in the group are close to leaving Devon. No one likes the current invoicing... — read more
It Has Begun
In every battle, there are those who survive, for no known reason. Today, some lucky few were chosen to have liberty bestowed upon them. For the rest who remain, we salute you. Good luck, you poor b–tards.

Reorganization
Anyone hear when the reorg’s happening?
New Devon becomes "Devon Hospitality"
The transformation to New Devon, a.k.a. Devon Hospitality, is nearly complete. Once Devon can divest the remaining oil and gas assets, they can focus on their core business of hospitality which is not as sensitive to commodity price... — read more
When does the selling end?
Canada, Barnett, Anadarko, what’s next? At what point will the Exec team admit that all we are trying to do now is stay afloat and get a life raft from a major?
Layoffs in ABBU?
Rumor going around that there will be an announcement soon about layoffs in ABBU. Anybody hear anything?
Asset Sale in Progress
Will this one actually go for fair market value? The Canadian assets were let go for nearly $1B less than fair market value. Is this another desperation sale of assets from the clearance rack?
Get Out Before Next Recession
There will be a stock market collapse and recession within a year. Just like in 2008. Devon is not positioned well to weather the storm. Get out of this sinking ship now while companies are still hiring. Move to something more stable. Such pathetic... — read more
Incompetent
Worst company ever. Bp’s and Managers are technically weak but trying to make decisions when they don’t understand simple math/physics.
21 VPs
Still have 21 VPs. Need to cut. Can start with W-H, id–t that came over from marathon, claimed to be expert in STACK, sh*t the bed on well spacing.
Just curious. How many other people are actively looking to leave Devon?
I feel like a lot of people are always thinking about quitting their jobs, but how many people are actually out there submitting applications and doing interviews? If you left Devon, where would you like to work, or what would you rather do, or where... — read more

Can you explain Vision 2020 to me?
Will a rabbit pop out of a hat then? It seems the results to this point are to diminish the company, lay employees off, and reduce the stock price dramatically. As a stockholder, that seems counter-intuitive. Is something wonderful supposed to... — read more
Canada closes
The Canada sale closed today, DVN truly a shrinking violet. They could not get RD off website fast enough.
Pull the trigger already!
Canada sale finishes up at the end of the month. Hoping soon thereafter for an acquisition by a major, or a merger with a larger company. Worst part is waiting for something to happen. Folks are sick of the cost saving exercises that feel like part... — read more
