I got laid off in April 2016, moved on and I am doing well now. It took me about 3 months to find a decent job and I am so happy things settled down quickly. I spent over 10 years with Pioneer and I still have many dear friends over there - I hear... — read more

Shakeup has begun - pay attention today. People are disappearing. Good luck to us all !! :-(

The company has been run into the ground. Brown noser 20 years olds are made managers and terrorize experienced staff with their egos. Ideas are not encouraged anymore. They want us to follow a “process” that changes weekly. Scott is a great leader... — read more 

Layoffs coming

maybe announce layoffs there? hope not.

Guess investing in our actual business doesn't make money so let's get into financial engineering and buy shares back. I feel a merger coming!!!

Rumblings of pumping services being sold to the highest bidder to lower capital costs???

So.....are we going to actually shed some folks if/when we finally sell all the eagleford stuff

Is it just me or are things getting weird around here ? I’ve seen some quiet firings disguised as retirements

Senior.

here we goes folks....in the next few days people will start getting their "bad reviews" and the layoffs will begin. This is what they've done ever since 2015. Look out for yourselves. Posted in a very old thread by @NRVSw18-40dvp, I figured it... — read more 

Anyone know if we get a bonus this year? What was said at the company meeting ?

All the corporate functions will get destroyed, like any merger but what about the rest of the rank and file

I guess it's time for Eagleford folks to polish up the resume....with so many divestitures, they don't all this head count!!!!! Though, with all the sales, they will need to buy something big or they will pay huge taxes. Bet we buy Parsley...then... — read more 

Classic. Let’s start by purging every other corner office. That would save big bucks. Ignorance is bliss. Layoffs will hit before the next vest date.

What will we do when gas lift drops like a rock?

This place makes me crazy. I watch stuff get handed to people on a gold plate while other people get blatantly shafted. You’d think they would get rid of the useless fluff but everyone knows fluff floats.....right to the top. Nepotism, favoritism... — read more 

why are we hiring more people? We need to reassign the overpaid "advisors" and all the "senior staff" folks to do some real work. They just sit there collecting $300k/yr doing nothing. It's appalling.

We are behind and falling further behind everyday. Obviously the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. And in this case, even the left hand doesn't know what it's doing! Downsizing and simplification is what will succeed in this... — read more 

Seems to be biting you in the rear end now!

Has anyone actually received their letter and found out what percentage they are getting for Focal Point? Smarta$$es and dumba$$es Need not reply!

By the way, nice cardigan.

Old birds like me get bossed around by 20 and 30 somethings.

Because this is ridiculous. We might as well change our name to Clampett Family Oil and Gas. It would be a far more accurate representation of what goes on here.

After many years at Pioneer I had to leave when it became apparent the only direction was down. They are not going to merge or acquire anything outside the Midland basin. Which is extremely unfortunate because it lead to great talent going to other... — read more 

This is a pipe dream The spin doctors are spinning Drinking the koolaide

well, they started with the end of year retirements. Now, they'll start the layoffs in late February and early March...to coincide with bonuses and such. This is how they've done it for two years. This year, though, they don't have the hedges like... — read more

I've heard about a bunch of early retirements over the last couple weeks. trying to get rid of the high paid folks who add little value. Mgmt knows they can't keep all the over paid heavy weights with no good hedges. it's not time for pxd to do what... — read more
