This will be a day for you to remember, that at any chance you could of left (don't gimmie the i didn't see it coming because we all did) Yes there are oil and gas jobs to be had, just don't think you're going to stay in OKC. This industry, if you've been around long enough was never stationery. You went where the work was, it's back to that. I picture sheep all huddled in a corner and management is just selecting cowardice at will to be the next slaughtered. The ones that leave before their axe are the ones who survive. As someone once in a position of hiring in the OKC area do you think I wanted you, you that got the axes because you sat around thinking oh please don't let it be me next, no. This industry locally has over expanded in the last decade and shrink it must. Get your tears out because for you it's over, or is it just your beginning. Get ready to claw the ones to your immediate left and right because there isn't room for you all any longer. This downturn is going to last years to come
I wouldn't go looking at AEP, Devon or especially the sinking ship Sandridge. There shredders are currently out of order as they are stuffed full of resumes, whatever you did before entering the industry, start thinking that way again. Godspeed all.
