Pay Grade Range

How wide is the pay discrepancy within each pay grade. Do all 22s (senior level) make close to the same, or is there a wide range?

EOR Raises.

When will we hear. Seems odd with an Satisfactory rating I haven’t been told yet.

Sooooo????

So no raises this year? Assumed we would have heard something by now?

Young employees

My friend’s son recently inquired about Oxy. The guy has a really big potential. Although he inquired, Oxy was his last job search option. It is a bit sad that no one so young and talented wants to work here anymore. On the other hand, I am... — read more 

Thinking about reorg

I'm a little worried about what the reorg will look like. What can we expect?

Not many people are leaving

I read a lot of complaints here. Based on all these posts, someone who doesn’t work at Oxy might conclude that people are running away from here. However, I don’t notice that a lot of people are leaving. I’m not saying Oxy is a great place to work... — read more 

Inflation

Will the raises keep up with inflation?

Oxy is back!

Did you see Oxy stock today! Management has brought Oxy back!

Did VH dodge the question on raises?

I thought she was going to speak about how raises would look this year. She said she was going to talk about it, but then only talked about how inflation effects operations.

Why is everything so slow

Only 1 hour back in office and everything is so slow. Regular applications and links that worked great from home are taking long time to load. Is it just too much crowding on network or what ?

Predicting the future after RTO

Once the workforce is back to the office they will redesign the organizations which may result in both layoffs and filling the open positions. I hope that it will not happen, but I see that there are those who think that the RTO will be followed... — read more 

Oxy taking over BP and Shells Russian Assets?

Wouldn't be surprised if Oxy management, with full support of their staff, would step in and take over the assets that these two ethical companies are forfeiting based on integrity and opposition to Russias war in Ukraine. We've already seen a... — read more 

Tired of people complaining about Oxy

I have seen post after post complaining about OXY. OXY has been a good company who has cared about their employees for many years. No company is perfect but OXY has been a very generous and caring company throughout this economic and COVID crisis... — read more

3 Bar Matrix

Do most people get a 3 in this new rating system? Is 3 the new S?

Bonus and Rating

What is the difference between 2R and 2B from bonus and rating? Are they the same rating?

Any level beneath Oxy?

Now that staff at Oxy are denying the facts of things like Piper Alpha (one person claimed its not a fact that it happened!), delighting in the suffering of what is going on in Ukraine recently (the term 'good times' was used at Oxy) and have voiced... — read more

Oil and Gas is a long way from dead...............

With the Ukraine being invaded by the Russians we will hopefully see the current admin realize windmills and other forms of clean energy are not going to fuel the world we live in for a while. European countries are going to be begging for natural... — read more

Interest in the job here

I really don’t believe that 10 applicants are ready to take someone’s job here after that person leaves. I don’t believe it, because my colleague's left, and still no one has come in his place. To me that means that the interest in the job here is... — read more 

Multiple Campuses

Now that work from home is ending again, does anyone know if Oxy is going to bring the departments together at Greenway? I have heard multiple people talk about never seeing team members and in some cases their management because these people are at... — read more

How Does O&G Plan to Recruit Future College Talent?

As far as I can tell O&G is an archaic industry that now has to deal with climate change attacks every ten seconds on top of being a very anti WFH industry. The pay is good, but it’s just as good in the tech industry without the climate change... — read more

I am mentally preparing to return to the office

It's not a matter of wasting time driving to the office again, or the fact that I don't think it's necessary to come to the office at all because of something I can do from home without any problems. Most people have resistance to RTO just... — read more

Millennial Flip

Pre-pandemic the millennials wanted open office spaces and see through offices. Now, they want permanent work from home. WTF changed.

Bonus

Any rumor on the amounts!

Thoughts about buying EV

Hi, I am wondering if anyone buying EVs (Tesla)? I find the technology interesting but not sure if it would be perceived as disloyalty with the company by my colleges. With 100K in bonus I don’t know where to spend it without being spendthrift. — read more 

Have time for side gigs as well?

This company is draining my energy, but if it wasn't, I would be very happy to consider a side job. It would nice to earn some extra money. I notice that many here have side gigs and I find it very interesting because obviously not everyone is... — read more

Is that true?

It took me a long time to decide to leave because I have been in this company for too long and it will be very unusual for me to work outside this industry. What interests me is is it true that there are plenty of those who had previously left but... — read more
