Thread regarding Occidental Petroleum Corp. layoffs

How have other companies rejects worked out at Oxy?

I spent some time with Chevron and have friends with Exxon and CP as well as some of the higher end pipeline and refinery companies. Many of the people who couldn't hack it at a professional company and didn't have a clue about FE/Petroleum/Reservoir engineering etc eventually gravitated to McDonalds, Walmart and Oxy as their last resort. How are they working out over there? Did they fit right in and get up to speed with the Oxy level of expectations or did they have to give up completely?

If you see someone from Chevron (or any other big multi-national) coming to Oxy who isn't a manager, they either walk on water, or drown in 3 inches of it. My guess is far more of the latter.

Who cares about the website when you owe 30 billion dollars and you are ripping off the legacy shareholders who at least expected a meaningful dividend.

It's sooo funny people really believe one little "karma troll" is the cause of Oxy lovers grief here on this board. I guess it's not possible Oxy is really just a piece of sh-t company and more than one person believes so...even if you don't. I guess that would be too logical. What a bunch of old losers. Lol

When you read the postings on this OXY webpage, it affirms what the OP is saying. Want more proof, look at the OXY website, about 15 years behind the times, and they don't even have the guts to delineate who the C-suite is. What a laugh !!!!

Comparing McDonalds, WM and Oxy on the same level is not possible. Benefits at Oxy are much better!

You’re right. Chevron has higher standards.

OP may have spent time with Chevron, but my guess is it was the Chevron where I fill up my truck. These types are best ignored.

Wow, spoken like a true “professional” at a professional company. Any more insults you’d care to post?

Perhaps this was just an attempt at humor on your part, but it does nothing more than expose your junior highish mentality. You will get further in your career, and for that matter in your life in general, if you will learn to make adult arguments, and not make cheap childish put downs.
