It seems like the IT systems are very far behind. They just now figured out in Harris county how to take peoples names for a waiting list. Most of the web pages you encounter in this process don’t work. Fort bend county cannot even take more than... — read more 

Don't we normally hear around the 3rd week of February?

It’s to flatten the curve.

I was told on good authority to brush off my resume and be ready for big changes here in Denver HQ. Can anyone else confirm?

Yes, no, maybe? Or likely only at 20% previous years while VH and the execs pay themselves huge bonuses for our stock being back at 20.

????

Explain that. I would say it is due to oil being looked at as big bad polluters. One week ago the stock would have moved up two dollars with that type price change. Most all oil companies are opening down with the price increase. There are... — read more 

Does anyone else here feel that their life was impacted over the last year by DT? Impact on personal life was negative and professional impact was neutral.

So happy to finally see Oxy stock and the country moving in correct direction. I realize now that the promised Greek mythological monster was just a scrawny earthworm 🤣.

Our Oxy warrants were sold from our 401k savings plan without our approval. Is there an ongoing class action suit to overturn this management decision?

Does anyone think we will have layoffs again? If so, when?

Does anyone actually think we will get bonuses next month? I think we will but they will be a lot smaller.

and i am sure i heard VH had tested positive for stupid? Did anyone else in the meeting hear it as well? It was last week in the daily "lets all tell everyone what a great job i am doing on the WFH program and that i need my boss to give me more... — read more 

I just checked my Citibank account for my salary payment and its a big fat zero !!! I dont recall any notification from HR - Anyone else not getting paid?

https://twitter.com/BW/status/1349486683012673536 Oxy can't even recycle their batteries consistently or their paper properly. Yet they are going to recycle carbon to pump crude. Lol

Any people in the know wanna chime in?

Wish I could find the post of guys telling me my Oxy warrants were going to expire worthless. Looks like they are in the money today with six years left until expiration.

Anyone having problems calling Oxylink? It is perpetual hold for both yesterday and today.

Where do i find out? Will stupid VH know?

Anyone hear what was acquired in GoM? There was a mention of a acquisition in a meeting last week and was just wondering. Thanks!

Did any other Oxy retirees wake up this morning to find that Oxy retiree medical/dental costs increased. My bill from PayFlex went up almost 50% compared to last month. Been retired on x1 family retiree rate since November.

Has anyone who took the VSP figured out how to ethically and legally get the most recent stimulus check or the next one? It seems like most VSPers have been all paid out and are no longer drawing an income this year. We are no different than a... — read more 

Having major layoffs last January right before the pandemic hit was some majorly bad timing (unintentionally) for those affected. I'm guessing they didn't have many options for other employment for a while unless they started looking right away... — read more 

How many can say something positive without including a criticism or insult? My guess is very few.

Dont seem to be too concerned

Another leader (LAPC Director) is packing up and leaving for a competitor as things just don't seem to be getting better in the GOM group. Not much to see here folks, just a mismanaged group run by incompetent / arrogant executive. Safety is as... — read more 

The stock prices of major and big independents Vs time are similar to that of Oxy. The entire sector is rotten now and is probably not a great investment. Maybe that is obvious. Wait 6 months then things might turn around.

Looks like the WFH will continue for at least through Q1 so you can continue to get another 3 months off. Not a bad gig to work from home, get paid a lot of money, and still get bonuses.

Public records show Oxy sold about 40,000 net acres to PE backed Forged Energy II in Reeves and Pecos Counties. I believe this is the same acreage they bought for $40,000 per acre from J. Cleo et al in 2016 Wonder how much they sold per acre ... — read more

*Even after Covid the oil business will never be the same as it was pre-Covid as there were many buyouts, mergers, vsp, retirements, and layoffs. So many people are out of work and available that Oxy could have their pick of candidates. Actually, it... — read more

OXY spends money like a drunken sailor in Vegas. OXY should stop everything and everyone to clear this debt in 2021. No spending, maintenance only, and clean house
