Anyone hear more on the fully remote WFH option, whether it’ll be company wide and how much of a pay cut those opting for it will have to take?

Look at the minimal dividend that this stock is paying. Why don’t they stop the buybacks and the big capital dump into low carbon and give the money to the shareholders.

Scott Sheffield (Pioneer CEO) projects that we'll see $100-$150/barrel for most of 2023 as China demand comebs back and there is no room for extra OPEC production (and declining growth rates in Permian).
