I am a “young” engineer, and constantly wondering what the future career growth looks like? No development programs, very little vertical or lateral movement, just getting more and more expensive, thus, more disposable as the time progresses.

Asking to myself...

I accidentally landed on this page and came across information about the new PMP system. I was laid off mostly thanks to the old system which was unfair and had many flaws. I could complain about it all day long. I'm interested in how different the... — read more 

Are they going to cut or start hiring?

A lot of people are looking for fulfilment at work, which is totally misguided because it no longer exists. It is much easier for me now that I do not expect anything. I do my part with the minimum effort, I take the paycheck and that’s it. I... — read more 

The majority of your staff realize that you don't contribute anything to your teams. Many geos are clearly overworked. Pioneer could get rid of you all and still operate fine. Probably better actually. Can anybody sum up one reason that any of... — read more 

I don’t see anyone making a thread about how American Well Services bought Pioneer Well Services. I left the company a few months ago for a completely different industry, but I’ve heard about this. Wondering what the atmosphere is like now and what... — read more 

It wasn’t until I started looking for a new job that I realized how much I had essentially lost my competitive edge here. Spending more than five years here means losing marketable skills. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of it while I was nice and... — read more 

Don't go to work under the assumption that anyone would care about what you contributed to the company for more than a weekend.

This "new" appraisal model is the same system where bad managers lord over their indentured servants each year. 80% of employees recognize the BS and accept the c-ap shoot system, throwing together their 3-4 vague bullet points to satisfy the system... — read more 

This company has never been particularly transparent, but is it possible that in these crazy times they are not able to come out with information on whether layoffs are in progress or not? I’m worried enough even without it, especially when someone... — read more 

I think we are having a silent round of layoffs.

What Company does Pioneer want to buy next?

We are waiting on you.

ExxonMobil is coming! Great news for us who are ready to go with a package.

Technology improvements does not cause a lack of trust in one’s company. That comes from poor management that pioneer continues to not address. Pioneer created a monster for years by promoting unskilled workers and now those workers are executives... — read more 

"The purchase does not come without a cost however. In addition to the roughly $4.5 billion price tag, Parsley will be laying off 234 workers while Pioneer will be laying off another... — read more 

Should we email HR about taking the package in Midland. Instead of cutting people they need i wonder if they will take volunteers.

Is PE giving out packages to their folks?

If there is a 25% layoff coming in January that would be great for us who are ready to get a package and go!

Why do they call it a merger, when in reality it’s just a handover of the assets. Interviewing PE employees for the positions of those who were let go in October. Business needs my a.... The level of dishonesty is beyond.

That is all it is in a nut shell. Someone should look at the share movements of these two for at least 6 months prior to the announcement. You know they discussed it all at home over dinner.

I made it through the last layoffs but wish i would have put my hand up for the ISP. Is there a way to leave with the upcoming merger with a severance package?

Is it a good time to sell right now. Only serious answers please

No one is worried about new “right sizing” past merger? The “growth” projection did not change, more land in Midland basin does not mean more people needed.

If you picked the first ten people in the phone book to lead the company would you expect better, worse, or similar results as our leadership?

I guess to no one surprise The Dallas Morning News Published their top 100 employers on Sunday, and nowhere to be seen was Mama Pioneer. Maybe it was in the top 10,000. Two energy companies made the top 100 list Merit Energy off LBJ & Toll Road in... — read more 

I wonder if pxd is paying this board to remove posts to protect their reputation.

What did fish bowls offend the fuzz department?

What does the future for shale look like?

What are you thoughts. Underperformed, savings from G&A, “best balance sheet”.

For those of us still left and afraid of additional layoffs can anyone shed some light on what the severance package was? Scary times. Trying to figure out if I'll lose my house or be ok if I'm in the next round

MC: work from home rest of year Management: Weekly/daily harassment of ummm, yeah, we’re gonna need you to come in to the office every day now even though you’ll just be in videomeetings all day

Stop removing posts and comments. Get off this board and focus on something more productive.
