Has anyone filed and received unemployment from the state of Colorado?
Good luck to everyone
A little over a year ago, Saudi Arabia said that they were going to put the "marginal producers" (AKA US shale producers) out of business. They then proceeded to increase their output by 1 million bpd and swamped the oil market. If a US producer had... — read more

How did you go bankrupt? Gradually, then suddenly. Timing for the next layoffs will depend on cash and debt covenants & cet. Look not only at current cash balances but at how much capex is needed to produce. Even after prices hit the 52/bbl mark... — read more

Bad bad bad
I am an independent landman and EVERY company landman at Anadarko I worked with at one time or another was let go. Wainscott, Rimel, Jefferies, Wood, Vega, Hoops......on and on. WHO stayed?
Next round of layoffs?
Any ideas when the next round of layoffs will hit? I weirdly feel as if the "1,000 jobs cut" was a bit low from the initial projected 1200-1500.. Always trying to mentally prepare for the worst
Company name
It's not Anadarko. It's Adarkhole.
I enjoyed my limo ride
I enjoyed my limo ride yesterday. . Fully stocked bar. .. I drank as much as I could Evendors took the bottle with me... thank you apc I was going to retire anyway
Stock up nearly 9% today
Wall Street pricing in all the cost savings?
Bad enough to let someone go, but you have to screw them out of their bonus too?
Feeling totally and completely used!! It was very apparent by those who were cut that the so called APC Values are a crock!!! These cuts weren't performance or need based, unless you count one's ability to suckup or play the politics game. Looking... — read more
The hard truth - you're a commodity in a commodity business controlled by those who hate you way of life and you are victims of your won success
No doubt this round of layoffs will challenge conservative values and beliefs of many at APC, i.e. that your own hard work, faith and special skills helped you achieve the American dream. Unfortunately, the reality is that your destiny is controlled... — read more

Did everyone who "volunteered" through HR, get the package?
Just curious... Did anyone talk to HR about volunteering, but not get laid off?
My father of 63 was let go this morning.
He's worked the industry over 40 years and had finally climbed his way to a cushioned (but still demanding) position, and he could retire in 2 years feeling accomplished. Instead of retiring with dignity, he gets laid off, all company belongings... — read more
Family
I'm really happy that they kept the families together in this company. Pay no attention to people that have given their heart and soul to being the face of a company at anti fracking gatherings. Pay no attention to charity work with urban peak... — read more
Personal Wealth Account
Does anyone know if we will get this benefit or not. I did not see it in any of the paperwork. It was my understanding if you were employed with APC for more than 3 years you got it all?
Thank You Anadarko..............
I was let go today after 10 years and vested. In my opinion they took care of us very well, and I will not complain about that at all. The ones that are left need to work hard and try not to get caught up in the next one. This company will be back... — read more
"Part of the cost-reduction portion of this plan is going to be including layoffs throughout 2016"

Clusterf**k in Denver
So big thumbs down to the half-aed idiots on the 7th floor in Denver that APC brought in (the "career placement" aclowns). I got off the elevator and stood looking at them for over 10 minutes while they talked amongst themselves without approaching... — read more
Cuts should have deeper, still too much dead weight.
Pretty disappointed with some of the people that weren't cut. Could easily cut another 10-15%
For what it is worth
To those of you just laid-off. Most particularly younger folks. i would urge you to find s new career before its to late. This industry will break your heart and morale. This industry goes through busts like no other. You will be 55 and laid-off with... — read more
