Thread regarding Occidental Petroleum Corp. layoffs

I like reading that people say they are working around the clock and all of this other BS....really? I worked at companies with people saying this and that is BS. Yeah, you may have to work more than 40 hours sometimes, but around the clock? Give me and everyone else a break. I know people that work at your company, they ride the van pools and never take a computer home and never worked on the weekends. Unless you are stuck on a location in the middle of BFE in another country, about 5000 workers, and you are the construction or project manager on location, and 10-12 hour time zone difference, you don't know what around the clock work is. Or if you are a company man on the drilling rig you know this also. So enough with the round the clock stuff. You are in your house working at home. SMH

@oez I am one of those that didn’t get the full 30% cut but my salary was already laughably low they probably took some pity on me.

@ wys, any idea who does not have 30% cut?

I will say this quietly... not everyone got 30% pay cuts !

So you are saying we should just say "yes" to whatever Oxy throws at us? We are all overworked. I am working way more now than ever, If i take a day off, I get called for work and now I am being paid 30% less? Do you not have a backbone in your body??

Thanks for the chuckle...putting Exxon and Oxy in the same boat! That’s a good one for sure!

You don't see it all that bad? You clearly don't share the same incompetent manager that I do. A 30% pay cut, incompetent management, being forced to do the work of 3+ people around the clock (which isn't going well naturally), and the work is not enjoyable, the mood and morale is horrible, and the future is bleak. I'm not sure that it could be much worse. I have friends who work lower paying jobs, but they're happy and not all that stressed, even in this trying time. I also have friends who are now unemployed, and they're naturally worried about the future, but they're talking about the positives of spending time with the family and doing things around the house. My family's in the other room, but I rarely see them. This place is k–ling me.

I wish for a jelly bean island ... and and ... I wish for cotton candy trees ... and and .... I wish for syrup oil that power up chocolate cars .... and then I wish for all management to go there and stay there forever... yes!!!
