I guarantee someone will Love picking up my workload. I gave it my all and now someone else can. I feel sorry for them but not my SR MGR or Director that made the decision. It’s too bad they can’t do the work instead. Hang in there to the decent people still there.
We honestly do so much because we tell ourselves we need to. Useless processes that are required by service groups that slug down the operations and technical teams. Empower the operations personnel and technical teams again. Guys...our business is pretty darn simple. We drill wells, complete them, produce them, and then take care of them. It should not take an act of congress to get a contract drafted, reviewed, negotiated by SC, signed by vendor, reviewed again by SC, write a CAF, review CAF, get CAF signed. Empower the SC personnel to write and sign contracts and have those personnel work with the operations teams who are actually doing the work that makes us money. Get rid of the useless processes and we can actually focus on stuff that makes and saves us money. But no one asked me my opinion so here I am blabbing into an echo chamber. Haha
How many are willing to volunteer for severance?
It has been one bad decision announcement after another starting with the lies of AH, Suriname and Alaska cost and online production, sold assets and the list goes on with the lies that come out of JC mouth.
I wasn’t let go, but as of today, I am actively looking for better opportunities. This company is going nowhere and will continue laying off more people
Terrible managers across the board. Period. That’s why nobody wants to acquire us
When I went to work at Apache almost 20 years ago the reporting structure was:
CEO - VP - Manager - me
Now it is:
CEO - Senior VP - VP - Director - Senior Manager - Manager - Supervisor - me.
Yesterday they decided letting me go would solve their problems .
