Hope everyone maintained their contacts over at P66, because the pain is coming back in a big way! Minimum 20% at each BU, with more in Permian, GW, and SJ!

Isn't it funny how when morale is in the toilet the people attack each other instead of placing blame on the ones that made the decisions that destroyed the company? HR hates IT, IT hates geologists, geologists hate field workers, the field workers... — read more

Any rumors about WCBU? Who do you think will be hit hard? If they cut the current 6 asset managers to 2. I think most likely my manager will be let go. What i can do to survive?

I was laid off last October. Didn't think it would happen to me since I had great reviews, but the selection process remains a mystery to most people. I had less than 5 years with the company so the severance package was not that great. I'm an... — read more
