How does everyone think return to the office will go? Will it start July 1st for non-management employees and will there be a rotating system or will we all return at once?
Why Corporate Jets?
Why does VH have 5 corporate jets if there is no money? Who is using those private jets? There is no money but you can have jets and fuel and no where to go. Doesn't make a lot of sense no one talks about that.

OP, shut the h*ll up. No one wants to be here anymore for 70% pay to do 4X the work. OXY is a disgrace. You are clearly a yes man middle manager or HR. Either way, you are disliked by everyone at the company.
Why Oxy won’t fail
Has it occurred to anyone here that Buffett and Icahn money is invested and that’s a good damn guarantee we will survive. Vicki was bold. Every company is doing poorly. We need to stop b–ching about this being anything other than a pandemic issue... — read more

All, does anyone know why the stock is up over 27% at the moment? Maybe word leaked someone is looking at buying us out? fingers crossed
The virus was just an excuse
So oil was 36.35 on 3/11 and we were all making our regular salaries, and then oil took a steep turn for the worse, and then started the climb back up to 5/15 price of 29.43. The day the pay cut was announced oil was 24.00. Today the price of oil is... — read more

I’m committed, committed to giving all of me despite the circumstances. The decisions made whether good or bad will not cause me to complain but focus on what I can do to be a better employee. My parents NOT Oxy instilled this in me! In the end... — read more

ROCS. “One team. One goal.”
“ROCS safety portal is live.....All Oxy employees should use the safety portal to report all safety and environmental incidents or near misses...” Next sentence advises it doesn’t apply to LAPC employees.
Fireside Chat with VH???????
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! This is insane on so many levels!!! This proves once again how clueless she is. Fireside Chat - Oh yes we all feel so close to Aunt Vi. Let's just cozy up to her around the fire after she's jacked around with us for over a year... — read more
Stop wasting so much money on the carbon stuff
VH states we have to have a climate change story. But why can’t that story involve shelving of the carbon projects until the company is in good shape again? They are the reason our cash flow is still challenged and the company can’t even afford... — read more
If you hate working here so much, why do you fear layoffs?
This is an honest question. I see so much hate on this board and it makes me wonder what are people still doing here if they are that unhappy? If nothing else, a layoff would give you enough in a way of severance to have a few months to find a job... — read more
Pension
I know our 401k is protected by federal laws. But is our Oxy pension protected too in a ch 11 or 7 bankruptcy? The answer to this will determine if I need to leave Oxy now or later. If anyone knows, or has already spoken to a labor/corporate lawyer... — read more
New BOD
Icahn is our daddy now! He will control VH like a puppet and if prices do not recover layoffs are coming with minimal severance. OXY HR - You are the scum of the Earth. Most employees look at you with the same disgust as the rest of management.
Job Board
Hilcorp is hiring a JIB Accountant https://www.hilcorp.com/work-at-hilcorp/careers/ Go for it! Oxy is a deadend h-hole.
Failed IT Integration
It’s a shame to see how this failed integration has revealed the incompetence of Oxy IT management. We’re now 10 months from the merger and hardly anything has been integrated. L-APC still operate on a separate computer system and struggle to... — read more

How Could the Shareholders Let This Happen?
Honestly, I am amazed VH was reelected as CEO. She will go down as the worst CEO in oil and gas history. I get why Icahn supported her, so she will be his puppet from now on, but why did the rest of the shareholders allow it? I voted against her and... — read more

This is not right
I still don't think we should of had to give up 30% of our salary, and then continue to have layoffs and vsp offers. With less people to hold down the fort and do the job we should at least be paid the same as those that were laid off. There are... — read more

“ WE ARE OXY !!!”

Oxy Proxy
Just got my proxy in the mail today. It had to be returned by yesterday for my vote to count. I wouldn’t put it past VH and Oxy to have held up delivery of these so people wouldn’t get to vote her a– off the board.
Voluntary Severance
What is the highest amount of months anyone has heard of being accepted so far. Highest I’ve heard so far is 12 months.
Failed

Missed Opportunity
SMH. While I have been very put off by the power-hungry folks and micro-managers, awful communication, and lack of strategy, I have held on with my belief in Vicki for some time. Unfortunately, today’s “conversation” was a complete missed... — read more
Anything said about layoffs?
May of missed it. did she mention layoffs after VSPs or if they don’t get s&a lower?
Over an hour in and no mention yet of pay cuts
It's the only question anyone cares about.
Propaganda
As expected, today's "conversation" is all about sharing of the VH Delusion. I shut it down at about minute five.
Live Recording of VH
Can someone live record her Q&A tomorrow and put it under an alias account on reddit or somewhere and post the link in here?
