Is it any good? Laid off frim Devon a few days ago, just comparing...

Employees are not trained or promoted with any realistic expectation of genuinely rising through the ranks, at best they will be rotated. Mid and upper level managers tend to be brought in from the outside. As you would expect, as anywhere, insiders... — read more 

I wander why there is no coverage by TV, Radio or Web Sites? Why silence? Who is engineering this?

Getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me. Forced/allowed me to rethink my career, get a fresh start in another direction. Turned out really well, and I shudder when I think I might have stayed at that big old company if they "let... — read more 

In the end it wasn't really about your skills, experience, or how hard you work, it was about how well you get along with your manager. Nothing to do with Al or Execs as your manager tried to tell you. Good luck to all that got laid off and... — read more

Many layoffs this morning at Anadarko in Evans Colorado.

I'll probably end up giving taxpayers money away to help you all out.

Is what I heard?

Obama's economic war against Russia and oil companies caused it.

This thread will serve as a place to discuss how the actual process occurred.

Wishing you all best of luck. It's a dark day for Anadarko.

It was decent.

From an ex-Anadarko employee - Just wanted to wish all the Anadarko folks the best today and going forward. Whatever happens today and beyond may be tough, but you are tougher. Life has a tendency to derail your plans. Some of the greatest things... — read more 

If you're a minority - you are pegged for being cut !

Get rid of all (or most) or the engineers since they are so young and stupid with no common sense. Looks like a two year High school reunion in meetings if they show up! Money means nothing to them, and they think the more they spend the more they... — read more 

I have realized that if Anadarko is only a fraction as good at getting that black goop out of the ground as Anadarko's employees are cleverly funny ... Then fundamentally this is a great organization. Good luck to those leaving, but I am jumping in... — read more 

And the land department? I'm just speculating.

But most of you are probably fired.

You thought you were better and above all the rest - tomorrow you will get to see just how it feels.

That leaves only the EC. Bob D. is going to be the Geoscientist. Al is learning to become a driller. Hollek will perform all global field operations by hand. Heroes.

No need for new ventures with no money. Mozambique project is stalled so slashing the team. Mozambique was to be next great project but looks delayed for years.

Is it fitting that it's going to rain ALL DAY tomorrow?

Where are you going to get drunk after you're layed off tomorrow? I was thinking about hitting a bar on the waterway. Any suggestions?

Just exercising our core value of Open Communication and I'm very concerned with the tone of some of the comments on this site. We are working with our IT team to make sure none of the activities on the particular site are tracking back to any APC... — read more

There's so much negativity and Anadarko bashing on this forum lately. As a change of pace, tell us what keeps you working at APC. Why have you not quit and gone somewhere else to work?

Since my time @ APC is likely coming to an end soon I was curious if anyone has come across these infamous Anadarko characters that have wrecked my bathroom experience since my first week: The Blood Farter, Lady Dumper, Butt Duster, and the old trust... — read more 

Once they start the conversations - post how it was handled for you or someone you know, what was said and what your plans are moving forward. No BS please, just some real information.

I just got an invite to Casa Bonita on Thursday and my manager said that means I'm one of the lucky ones! We get the afternoon playing skeeball and running through the cave while everyone else cleans out their office. Whew - that is a load off my... — read more
