We used to consistently be one of the best places in DFW to work and now we seem to be far from it, just look at all the comments in this place! How can we rebuild better and stronger?
New Leaders
With SS getting up there in age and knowing that going back into retirement is coming soon, who do you think will lead PXD? Do you see this being a positive or negative change?
Love this company!
This company is awesome I love all of the benefits and generous pay! I’ve been in the industry for over a decade and this is by far the best. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Endeavor!
Almost Done?
Mandated Vax!
Who will work the rigs if they go through with this? Also, why do we even bother with our Midland office? Cut that g&a to fund the variable dividend!
I left
I left the company 6 months ago. Best move I’ve ever made. The money isn’t worth it when you despise every second of every day
Loved the simulfrac question
So, who else does these, are we the first? "No, we found out about from another company and then realized everyone was doing it, but we are doing it the Pioneer way."
Hedging
Man, I meant to post about how stupid it would be to end hedging after the employee meeting. By the time I got around to it, the market started to crash.
10th floor doesn’t care about you
What a joke of an employee meeting. It’s amazing how quickly survey results were brushed under the rug.
You’re just a number
I’m not sure how Pioneer’s culture could ever recover from what they have done over the last 3 years.. The answer is, it won’t. That has been greatly magnified over the last month especially. The amazing culture that used to exist is gone forever and... — read more
You are nothing but a number
I can't believe there are still people who believe there is such thing as mutual loyalty here. People who think they are safe from layoffs because they've been here for a long time and have given it their all every day. I'm not sure how many times... — read more
More layoffs?
I have no insights, and I don't want to be a bearer of bad news...just wondering if anyone has heard rumors about layoffs on the horizon? Some colleagues are already very worried that there could be cuts very soon.
Go Along! Get Along Gang!
If you are not in the clique or the good Ole boys club. Forget about a promotion! It's Business as Usual as Pioneer! Promote the less qualified!
People ARE leaving
I find the question about why people are not leaving if they're not happy rather silly. First of all, people are leaving. Some of our best people, at that. Pay attention to the company-wide attrition, I'm relatively sure that it's at its highest in... — read more
Dealing with disruptive managerial behavior?
I have to admit that I didn't really believe in such stories before, that is, that it is possible for a grown up person to be a victim of bullying, until it happened that the manager started bullying my close colleague. I have never before seen such... — read more
I kinda feel bad for the executives
What is happening at ESPN right now is the same path we are on. Since execs are greedy and power hungry they will always attempt to appease the DI mob until that mob comes to eat them too. Nothing will ever be good enough. BTW, where are the POCs on... — read more
I don’t get it
I don’t understand why everyone complains and acts like it’s so bad here… we make good money and if you don’t like it then leave someone else will work your job happily
Midkiff sucks
I’m sick and tired of being told by I&E to put in a work request for every single thing I ask them to do.
Is it just me?
Everybody is excited about tomorrow possibly bringing good news regarding work from home and I'm sitting here stressing, convinced they're about to drop a bo-b on us either regarding another restructuring with layoffs or deciding against WFH or... — read more
All employees meeting Monday the 28th
Does anyone have any insight on what they are announcing? I heard they are giving in on work from home but no details until Monday. I’m sure it’s just “oh we care so much about you. So here stay home on Friday “. Friday’s are such a waste here... — read more
$170 to $151
What’s happened? Double point 40k acreage?
DoublePoint Energy sold to Pioneer Natural Resources for about $40,000 per acre
Most Permian deals this year have been concluded at between $7,000 and $12,000 per acre. Why the huge premium?
Mismanaged and nuts
This place has turned into a giant tu-d. Everyone seems to be afraid of something. Poor decisions are being made. The only experienced leadership is at the MC level and they are completely disconnected. Middle management is a product of brown nosing... — read more
You have a well paying job
Stop complaining about having to go back to the office or your sucky managers. you have a job that pays you six figures for very little engineering you have to do. You perform robotic steps following SOPs with little thought or creativity attached to... — read more
How is your relationship with the supervisor?
Everything would be much easier if I could have a serious and direct conversation with this man. However, far from it. In this case, everything you say can be used against you. I tried in a nice way to build some reasonable, normal relationship with... — read more
Wasted talents
Two very talented young engineers were brilliant when they came here. Their talent was really promising and I thought they would do great things here. But no. Not only did they not progress, but over time they became very average. I mean, this... — read more
Merging with OXY & COP?
Why would PXD want to merge with OXY and take on their mountain of debt? Also talks of a merger with COP as a third as well
Merger Rumors?
Rumors circulating that we are merging with OXY??? ConocoPhillips also in the running?? $32 per share value all stock
Get Vaccine or Wear A Scarlet Letter at Pioneer!
So as of Thursday, we all have to wear a mask at PNR unless we show them proof that you've gotten the COVID vaccine. That... OR wear a scarlet letter while everyone else walks around without a mask! This is pure discrimination and I know I'm not... — read more
Asking again, why are we required to work from the office?
I had forgotten how unproductive and inflexible working from the office is. From the needless commute, to finding and setting up conference rooms, hallway chatter...and just general quality of life reduction, due to a loss of flexibility.
Is it possible?
I’m a mid-career employee and was wondering how hard it will be to find other opportunities now as opposed to being laid off? Is there anyone who has left that was able to find employment fairly easily while still being employed? Is there anyone who... — read more
Keep calm and learn...
Problem 1 - PXD is a one basin company that provides virtually no real industry experience, unless you plan to spend your career in the Permian Basin. unfortunately, the industry and the permian basin won't last that long. Problem 2 - the upper... — read more
Volunteer for the layoff package
Do you think this is an absolutely impossible option or is there still some small chance that they could give us the opportunity to volunteer? I personally don't believe it because it wouldn't work in their favor, a huge number of people would... — read more
Big Fish eat little fish.....
Pioneer will buy endeavor. Exxon will buy Pioneer. I can't wait.
