Where do we go from here?

Just wondering what your thoughts are about where Oxy goes from here. Are people optimistic? When do you think APC and Oxy will feel like a unified company? What’s bright in the company’s future?

Did they try to keep someone?

There are many people who went for better opportunities, ie those who, despite the overall situation on the market, still decided to take risks by starting from the beginning. I know a few great people who have left that any reasonable employer... — read more 

Vaccines

The company needs to require vaccines for all employees wanting to continue employment with the company. The only exceptions should be due to medical, religious, or disability reasons. This is a public health issue and a safety issue for the... — read more 

Why is Oxy so quick to get rid of its top talent?

Most other companies fight tooth and nail to keep their top talent and it seems that Oxy can't wait to see them walk out the door. I'm not talking about cuts, I'm talking about people jumping ship to join our competitors. How is this in any way... — read more 

Food for thought

I’ve read a lot of criticism in these threads for those who chose to remain. Calling us lazy, blaming us for the decline of the company, stating that we all deserve what’s coming. Most or all of us realize the direction OXY is headed and the... — read more 

Texas earthquakes

Any thoughts about whether recent quakes in Texas are due to more oil field activity.

Big Oxy ballpark sign this year?

Does anyone know if Oxy bought the big sign at Minute Maid Park this year? It wasn’t apparent from news videos of recent baseball games. In previous years it stuck out because it was so large compared to signs sponsored by oil companies that were... — read more 

New Mexico

What’s happening with New Mexico? everyone divesting tonn of assets? Is it due to regulatory environment and new no emissions rule?

Please don’t force us back in the office

Do the right thing oxy, allow flexibility or some kind of hybrid model. Most of us are more productive and less drained from not having to commute two hours a day. At least let us work from home a day or two a week.

Work from home

To those who think working from home eliminates being micromanaged, guess again. Try googling project management with remote workers. There is a whole industry cranking up to micromanage your time and tasks in a remote setting. Maybe you are... — read more 

Ghana Sale

More “buy high, SELL LOW” and the stock market hates it - Oxy down way more than peer group today. Nice work Vicki on “executing the plan”.

Raises

Have people that are getting raises already been notified? Guess I didn't get one LOL

Posts getting removed?

Why my genuine posts about the best president are getting deleted ? Fakers are all hat and no cattle.

Any talks of a new VSP?

The company starts making money on these Oxy VSP’s after a little over one year. Good for PR too because you can claim continuing “synergies” from the merger. There are likely people who would take it now who didn’t take it 2 years ago. — read more 

Question for you tax folks............

With the new corp tax going to 28% from 21% that is a 7% increase. Oxy had 17.14 billion in revenue in 2020 and 7% of that would be 1.20 billion in new taxes, if based on revenue. Is that right, or do the cost get deducted first and you pay the taxes... — read more 

How busy are you?

I don’t know if I should panic more when I have too much work or when I have too much free time. How busy is your schedule? Whomever of my colleagues I talk to they say that they have more work to do than ever. My case is that I’ve never had less... — read more

Atlanta - Boulder

We got a heart felt message from Vicki regarding the unfortunate and awful murders in Atlanta. But not a mention about the tragic murders in Boulder. Why not?

Contractors salary

Has anyone heard when contractors would get their salaries back?

Most badly run?

I absolutely agree with someone who said that Oxy is one of the most if not the most badly run oil majors bar none. I worked in another oil major where the situation was similar in terms of management, but here it is certainly worse. However, I do... — read more 

Raises?

Did anyone get a raise this year?

Lori cash

Can someone explain the cash portion of LTI please?

DIrty LTI Hedging Strategy

Throwing this out there and asking fellow Oxys for advice. With the share price back at a reasonable level, and considering that we’re barred from trading Oxy derivatives, I’d like to ask around if you have any interesting hedging strategies. .. — read more 

BK by TK??

Someone here recently declared BK by Thanksgiving. Stock is now over $30. I guess the OP meant next Thanksgiving??

More productive?

Working from home suits me perfectly, although I know it won’t be able to last forever. Even though the work/ life balance is a little more disturbed now, it suits me much better. I have noticed that I am much more productive. I do things with ease... — read more
