I've had frequent discussions with current APC employees in multiple disciplines and you're correct - the moral couldn't be worse. The frequent thread is that many of the survivors of the big one were the people who should have been let go even during the good times. They are now back to their old ways and know how to game their superiors. It's easy since some of the superiors should never have been promoted to the positions they hold anyhow. The talent is slowly escaping and finding better companies to work for and leave as soon as the opportunities become available. So, bottom line - it's great to watch the blowing up of what was once a pretty good company to work for. I'm working for a much better company, we don't have the forced slogans about core values, but everyone, from the top to bottom, behaves much more ethically and responsibly and with enthusiasm than a lot of the "future" of Anadarko.
So true, @OiAYQmT-2jfk. Most of the good people who remained have left on their own accord by now. I don't see how Anadarko can survive in the long run like this.
