Thread regarding Apache Corp. layoffs

Town Hall - What the Heck are Synergies?

This is one of those egregious corporate buzzwords to me, and a huge red flag. Does it actually translate to anything good? When I see or hear "synergy" being used, it's almost always a clear indicator of desperation to boost perception, yet it's such a weak blanket word that ends up conveying nothing; saying you're doing something without being able to articulate what it is. And it's like they don't know it.

Am I wrong?

I heard this buzzword with Concho Resources when we bought RSP Permian. That didn't pan out the way they thought, start of the decline and eventually sold to Conoco Phillips. Sad was a great company at one point.

This thing is a train wreck which has proceeded off of the rails with JC, SR and the BOD all commanding the disaster. Along the way others have left, or been made to leave, while this executive team has made mistake after mistake after mistake.

For them it is OK, they have enough money, the rest of us suffer.

They were quick to criticize Callon. If apa was so great we would have been acquired ages ago. Instead all the money goes into select few hands Look around. All the “leaders” are spineless yes men.

I remember the 2014 Town Hall. We all know what followed that one

If you’re knowledgeable in m&a, it is an important metric to track, not a buzzword.
