Circa...2016, myself, like so many other we're identified as not part of APC's plan moving forward. We we're given a severance, which was actually just PTO you were owed, and a ride home to tell your family the great news. Sacrificed on an Excel spreadsheet in the name of cost savings. Now let's fast forward a year, you've gutted mostly operators, and in their void, brought in contract operators and even paid to have some of your Texas boys move to the Rockies from assets that have been sold. And in almost no time at all, true to your f--- up ways, you've managed to blow up a house and kill people within the community. Granted I know the blame doesn't fall squarely on APC's shoulders, but I know in with all my being, my "not part of APCs future plans" a-- would have for sure known that gas is flowing somewhere!?
Now I'm not posting this just be salty and play the blame game, I'm posting this because I have moved on, to a better position at a better organization, but no matter how hard I try to put it behind me, Anadarko has a way of sticking it's nasty blue d--k in my life! Now all of us other guys have to play scramble to prove our innocence when it comes to operations, but perhaps more damaging, it made every good innovating operator here in the Rockies loose so much social licensing it feels like we have to start all over!!! So thanks big blue, I hope your "cost savings" was worth f---ing the rest of us over. And by all means, please keep the management you have in place in the Rockies, they're doing a Dynamite job!
