Failure is not an option. I'm always open to feedback. It is what it is. It just wasn't meant to be. Let's not reinvent the wheel. Perception is reality. That's probably not what you want to hear. There is no I in team. We'll do it now and apologize... — read more
Was that it??
The management cuts seemed very lite on our floor, making me think they are going to take a major chunk of that 700 out on the lower peeps. I haven't seen or heard a number today but id doubt it was even more than 100. Thoughts?
What about Bloforth?
Did she choked to death did they throw out of the building did she get promoted? Cockroaches always survive even in nuclear events and oil industry implosions.
Parking..
Now that the excess fat has been trimmed from our company, does this mean I get to park in the new garage? I would love to have a closer spot.
Who is to blame?
Here in Oklahoma O&G has always been a strong industry with minor downturns over the past 40 years. The issue is when things are going well (and the companies are making record profits) they tend to increase hiring, business development and overall... — read more

Devon used to be a great company....
We used to be a wel run company, then we built this tower as a symbol of the patriarchy and hired thousands on cisgender transphobes without working to make this company a safe space for our best people.
Well, I'm screwed (literally)
The HR VP I slept with just got laid off. I slept with him for protection but now I'm a sitting duck. I'm a good looking cisgender female, and if anyone knows someone of power who needs "convincing" let me know.
NAMES OF PEOPLE AS THEY ARE LET GO, POST HERE.
Please post names of the people as you find out.
Cowards of anonymity
It amazes me sometimes what people post because it is anonymous. I guess their real character is best shown when they can hide. Some of the posts on here indicate some people did not really deserve to be laid off....they should have been fired a long... — read more
How is Technology Group on 34 doing today?
I heard their VP, Hobbs, was let go. Anyone else? He was a terrible person.
Wednesday Thread?
Should we get one going before 8? Posting initials, business units, areas? Or just let it bet now that we know it's happening?
Building covered in plastic this morning
Pretty depressing.

Why Houston has so many companies and understand why they do, whereas OKC has Devon, Sandridge, Chesapeake, Continental, and some much smaller companies. I know certain "heritage companies" were formed in Oklahoma, just wasn't exactly sure what's... — read more

Please let me know
Executive pay being cut?
So has there been an announcement about these executive leaders taking a pay cut to try and help the worker bees? What was I thinking?!!! All those guys care about is themselves. They rarely frequented the floors below 40 while I was there.
