"Lowest cost, highest margin North American resource-play focused independent"- can I get paid millions to say I want to make money with the assets we have? Stop acting like resource plays are just a focus, it's all they care about. Might as well... — read more

Termination Allowance Package. The employees laid off in February got a good package. The exploration group got a little less than the previous deal. This round will be even less. They rework it every round to be a little bit less.

Buckle up.

Does this portend more layoffs?

Old news, but was never communicated to employees. http://www.offshoreenergytoday.com/croatia-confirms-offshore-license-recall-new-round-in-september/

Better sell it now before it tanks again after Q3 earnings call....

That asset is doing nothing for the company. They have no rigs running and are way over staffed. Its time to cut the asset loose, regardless of it being a "legacy" asset to MRO. And after that sell, MRO needs to take a page from their direct... — read more

Run a badge report and layoff the ones putting in a 6 hour day everyday

This was very much expected, this took place three weeks ago. There will be more layoffs in October and November 2015

There will be a layoff of approximately 40 people. Unsure which asset will be hit.

Here's an idea. Why don't supervisors that only supervise 1-2 employees get he ax? What's the point in having that position, especially if one of the employees is a contractor? Speaking of contractors, why are we keeping them? They could get cut and... — read more

Never thought it would come to a "bloodbath" such that it did. Wall Street got what it wanted at the cost of some good people. As in the past, I didn't see any managers walk out the door. Always the little guy to bite the bullet.

There will be cuts but we are also very good prepared and the company has little debt. We prepared for the downturn and we can overcome all problems that we will be facing in 2015

Do you think we will have layoffs in 2015? If you've been around in the 80s you remember early retirments and layoffs. We've had a good 30 year long run, but in 2015 who knows. Tillman probably knows the best, but I can tell you that folks in Houston... — read more
