Legacy APC folks know the drill.
Let's come up with "Save a Barrel" cost reductions. Here's some of the best from 2016 to start (they actually go well with WFH):
"Fewer"
Or to save money also permanently work from home.
Unfortunately, all those cost savings ideas, when added together, probably equate to less than 1% of what Occidental will be paying to Berkshire for Buffet’s preferred shares dividend. The bed was made when this deal was forced at all cost nearly a year ago. Now it is, sadly, time to lay in it.
Don't hold the hand rail on the escalator.
Bring your own coffee, water, cokes, or go buy it.
No more car pool reimbursement. (Unless the company is getting a tax credit.)
No more gym reimbursement.
No more child care subsidies.
No more salary increases for living in USA and working in Midland, etc. (It cost a lot to live in Denver as well.)
No more educational reimbursement.
No more bonding leave for men. (The women are having the babies and deserve the time.)
Less conferences and offsite classes.
Bring your own pen, pencils, stables, etc.
Less travel and more Skype meetings.
Pay your own phone bills and phone and only bill for company business to be reimbursed.

Bring your own cups to work, save on foam and plastic
