Tuesday will be tough day at work. It's not by choice, but economics. The stock price is under forty and dropping. I saw gasoline at the pump for $1.79. It's going to a rough couple of years in the Oil Industry. Devon as we know it today will not be... — read more 

Those still at Devon, cheer up. I was laid off from IT in April. Was very pissed. But after 4 months of receiving a biweekly paycheck as part of Severance (your mileage may vary), I am calm and happy to have been saved the stress of "when am I going... — read more 

Why do we feel the 8th?

Lots of upper managers and VPs from G&G meeting today.... Prepping for Tuesday?

John Raines and all his early 30's suck ups, then move to all the other departments and due the same. This company's heyday ended with John Nichols. Used to be a good company now it's a joke. Sure glad we got that building though

What groups are to be part of the 9/8 layoff? Please indicate the respective percentages of these groups. Why hasn't there been any communication out about it similar to what COP released? Will the process be similar to the IT layoffs that took place... — read more

Still at Devon, not sure for how much longer. Oil down to $37s today. Alot of people still seem to be in denial & think they're safe forever. Am I the only one feeling like the axe is about to fall?

Let's face it, overspending, over investing, over hedging and over hiring was rampant over the past few years with the oil speculation bubble that has been around starting at the $100/barrell price fixing a few years ago. That bubble has finally... — read more 

Why Canada? I thought it was all going to be regulated to OKC in the IT and Land departments. What positions were eliminated in Canada?

The layoffs have already started in Canada, several people have been let go today or given 2 weeks notice if you are a contractor.

The Devon Layoffs will be delayed until after Labor Day. Another 10% in IT and Land departments. In total about 80 people in Calgary and OKC.

What about the WARN Act? Isn't it supposed to help the employees in knowing when massive layoffs are going to happen?

"I have mismanaged, therefore you must go. " - Ben Williams

Even with the 'dignity' that Devon laid me off from my IT role, it feels terrible. It is not as terrible as losing a loved one, and my health is intact, but it is its own beast. Other than being prepared for a layoff financially, there is no way I... — read more 

In retrospect, It's easy for everyone to give their opinions anonymously. But if you were in charge how would you have handled things differently?

If your work requires managing IT server infrastructure, databases, SAP, server administration, etc., Accenture has ready to place consultants that are less G&A than full time employees. Business facing IT support and projects are more probably going... — read more
