Hurry up and get it done. Or start the restructure in Canada. Too many people keeping their thumbs warm waiting ever since the divestiture announcement. Make the changes already

Poor middle and upper leadership

Devon management is weak on articulating clear lines of authority and establishing strict accountability, in effect, many times promoting people they like and trusting them to figure out the job and do what what's right. Well, more than a few... — read more

BU control

I feel that leadership will continue cutting personnel in OKC and slowly give each BU more autonomy because there won’t be enough OKC staff to perform the job when the cuts are done. I generally agree with a de-centralized command model but not if it... — read more 

Learn something new

There has never been a better time to focus on learning new skills - it doesn't take a genius to figure out that both this company and this entire industry will continue to shrink. If you don't expand your skill base, you might find yourself in a... — read more

A coworker once told me, “give Devon two years and it will s--- the life out of you.” Truer words have not been spoken here.

AP Bots! Mega-Thread

Will management ever realize what an utter failure the bots have been and how much money we’ve sunk into them with minimal return? Obviously they know this, but it keeps getting pushed harder and harder. It’s past the point of no return. I have an... — read more

Any word of New Layoffs?

Tired

I’m tired of these know nothing VP’s blaming everyone above them and below them for all the problems. They’ve apparently learned from the guy at the top on how to be Teflon. Maybe they believe they can save the ship but they are just sinking it.

The Facts

Let's get the facts straight. 1) Devon is not a good long-term company to spend your career. What once was, is no longer. Those who still tout Devon as being an incredible company are blind. Don't listen to them and focus on doing what is best for... — read more

I have to assume most folks on this site are complete trolls or they are bitter from a sense of entitlement. For context, I've worked in several different companies across different industries and I've been at Devon for a little less than a decade... — read more 

Top 100 company to work for?

Do they still keep the trophies out on the reception desk in the rotunda? I remember laughing about those the day I was laid off in 2016. Thinking Devon wont see any more of those anytime soon.

They keep doing the same thing

I keep wondering why is it that this company keeps believing that laying off experienced employees will solve problems that were created by inadequate upper management? Has this ever worked in the many previous attempts they've tried it? Nope. And... — read more

Who is next to get cut?

I can;t be naive to that point to believe that the layoffs won’t continue and that what they announced is just a fraction of the workforce to get cut. I’m certainly curios what departments and what type of workers will they be targeting next.
