Well, I tried to get some sleep last night but I failed miserably. As if the stress of waiting to see if I am on the list is not enough, now I'm going to have to go through that on no sleep at all. It'll be a "fun" day, that's for sure.
At least I can comfort myself with the fact that after today it'll be all over, one way or another. Good luck all.
This is what happens when the founders of the company are no longer steering. You get a new guy who just wants to please wall street and the directors. They lose the vision. It won't be long before some like Icahn acquires a sizeable block of shares.
take a deep breath,
go for a run,
don't drink or do drugs.
Devon will continue to pair down the workforce until it’s so lean it can sell to the highest bidder-say Exxon or BP-if you weren’t let go today-get out. The ride gets worse from here. Misery is the new Devon and you really don’t need 20/20 vision to see the Devon of old is long gone and buried deep beneath 20NB. Piss poor leadership occupies the 47th and the BS just flows down from there. Get out.
Lol, did you say Autobots? I thought you were going to follow it up with “transform and roll out!”
Make no mistake, this is not the last time. $150MM in G&A does not get reduced in one layoff. This is a three year plan, and my group was told in no uncertain terms that this would not be the only reduction in force.
Sorry to piss on your parade, but it might be preferable to be let go now instead of in a year, after you've been doing the work of two people with no bump in pay.
Good luck ur in my thoughts
Ditto! On the sleep as well. Good luck to you all and best wishes unfortunately this will not be the only round it will happen again in the near future next 8 months to a year. Because of the Autobots in play. So I will feel lucky to get to go this round if it happens. If not then I will be stressed to the max for the next 9 months.
You too.
Ditto on the sleep
