Thread regarding Devon Energy Corp. layoffs

This is exactly why I'm leaving all my porn at work. It's a nice collection but def not worth it!

Devon not only owns the computers, but has invested millions of dollars to obtain data to gain competitive advantage over other E&Ps. Damn right they should protect that data and anyone who violates those rules should consider themselves lucky to only lose their jobs and not be prosecuted for intellectual theft! Could you imagine if Devon employees used their personal computers to store this data where the IT department couldn't monitor it's whereabouts? Of course it's not like Devon's data is the nation's most sensitive information that could compromise the lives of it's employees stationed around the globe! Now that would be worthy of prosecution!

If you have any questions about what you can take ask your supervisor to clear it with security. I did and was able to take the things I needed. (all personal no business) Not doing so is just plan stupid. Our IT department can see every bit of data that leaves our computers. The are watching and safe guarding company data to make sure people do not leave with information that is proprietary. Do i think they fired this employee for personal data. No! I think he was pulling his information and maybe sent out something that was in some documents he was in a hurry to transfer. Accident or intentional he broke the rules that everyone had been informed. Everyone is very aware that that is grounds for termination. He lost the bonus because he broke the rules and possibly the law. Management could careless about keeping his bonus. his thousands will not make a pin prick in the millions they are looking to cut in G&A. This guys was not let go because he had a target on his forehead. He was let go because he was stupid. Do yourself a favor and follow the rules and if there are any questions about what you can leave with ask your supervisor. Use email to get it in writing.

Bullshit indeed. Singled one person out then gave everyone bonuses? Get real people. IT knows exactly what goes out. If it's questionable, it goes through legal. If it's confirmed to be sensitive company information, you're out and better hope you don't get sued. Don't be stupid and there's nothing to worry about.

Similar situation happened to co-worker in 2008. Took home personal info that Devon said was company property. They ended up settling for future wages in wrongful termination. Devon is dirty in times like these.

What office and initials

I'm calling bullshit, he must have been downloading information that he was not allowed to take with him if he thought he was on the list to be let go. What an incredibly stupid move on his part, lost his bonus & maybe his severance if he was on the list. Company computers are not personal computers, if you use them for personal use you are not very intelligent as the company has full access to everything you put on them & every site you visited can be tracked. Be smart & keep your job!!

everyone in management is sorry about what has to happen.

there is no way to stay a functioning company and get our bonus without tossing some on the fire.

More details pls

Yep

Devon is not running a social program subsidized by Obama bucks! Of course they care about money. The only goal

Of Devon and any other public ally traded company is to provide value for the shareholders. Democrats are fuxking ruining this country and have put everyone is the position we are in now. Dips hits

Devon in known for being shiesters. They value money over their people.

I expect nothing less from that company
