I trust that Oxy will find ever more creative ways of reducing any possibility of seeing full CoC. Should have taken it when I had the chance, but circumstances felt different back then. If I look at the horizon now I see an ever growing workload and an ever shrinking paycheck if I stay here. I’m tapping my network and if anything looks promising I’m jumping ship. There is work out there, despite what you hear.
This silent auction for severance is pretty demoralizing. I’ll probably request a year knowing the CoC is worth far, far more...but maybe it’s best to cut your losses? 30% pay cut in August and who knows what after that...furlough, some crazy assignment? I’d rather have a modicum of control of my destiny rather than hang on to the idea of a CoC payout or hoping things will get better. My fear, however, is they’re only entertaining the dummies that request 4-6 months.
