After more than ten years here, I honestly can’t wait for the door to hit me on the way out. It’s just a two-year engagement, nothing fancy, but I welcome the change. I completely lost perspective at XOM, got su-ked into the “Exxon way” until my... — read more

Fear of Donald is what has delayed a 20% layoff in the US. It is inevitable.

Anyone have an educated guess on what is going to happen to all the Denbury folks in the Plano office come November when their 2 years is up? Surely they aren't going to move them all down here when we are cutting so much.

There was supposed to be some sort of big meeting or announcement 10:00 a.m. the other day. What is the news from that?

My wife got laid off last month after eight years, we’ve got three kids, and if EM hits me with a layoff too, we’re done. I just want to keep my head down, work, and support my family but that seems impossible right now.
