Wish you all a very happy Xmas and new year. So much to look forward in the new year. Vaccine, life back to normal, oil in $50s, eligible people taking jobs in hand and ineligible people shipped to golf course 😛.

How many of you are current employees vs non-employees. Vote up for employee, down for non-employee.

No, Oxy is NOT re-hiring peeps who took the VSP!! Quit asking and starting hurtful rumors! I know this to be true because like I said in an earlier post, I actually work HR at Oxy! Sheesh

More retirements More quitting Goodbye LOXY you are left holding the sh– stick

How high will it get by year's end? Most are happy for the industry and the company. A few are disappointed. Which one are you??

Any info on the reorg that is supposed to be announced by end of year? What is the “US Prod Ops Organization” supposed to be? Hoe will all the newly-created teams in the new development arm be staffed?

How stable is The Woodlands office location? Im iterested in a Job opening (Technical Security Coordinator) but hesitant to apply due to layoffs in the industry.

Why did Oxy not file a WARN notice on layoffs in 2020? Both Exxon and ConocoPhillips have. There must be some difference in the number of layoffs or some other technicality. It seems like they all would give the 60 days pay no matter what so it... — read more 

We need to all protect our industry and educate the ignorant people. We all need to pull together and defend our industry, or we will not have an industry. I will never buy a product NF. If you get a paycheck from Oxy or any other oil company it is... — read more 

I want to wish everyone on this site a happy holiday season. Don't let the handful of Karens on this site that post the same thing over and over again get to you. If you check any company's board from Google to Chevron to Tesla and Conoco, there's... — read more 

I’m at a loss for words. Its simply astonishing how utterly disorganized and unoptimized their IT infrastructure and processes are. Every day is a seemingly impossible new low. At some point I might have to throw in the towel for sanity’s sake. — read more 

Tesla to replace OXY on the S&P 100. Well done all!

Job requirements for a typical CRC manager: Overweight Entitled Narcissistic Undue Confidence Bigoted Petty Uninspiring Ability to watch others suffer without intervening a bonus Little to no ethical standards for self or others a... — read more 

We are legacy APC with VSP and Some are offered to get hired back either as employee or contractor . We know it’s ethically wrong but, do we risk in losing VSP package?

Since the company is not laying off it must be doing well. Since it is doing well let’s bring back the dividend so common stockholders get at least as much as WB does.

Oxy and VH are talking out of both sides of their mouth. Commitment to drilling fossil fuel in Permian, and yet keep saying they are low carbon company is misleading. I really don't see how this company will survive. No direction, pos leadership, and... — read more 

I think a lot of people at Oxy don’t realize how lucky they are. Look around the industry. Exxon is laying off 20% of their Houston office, cut 401(k) matches, and is forcing people to come into the office during the pandemic. ConocoPhillips is doing... — read more 

What is happening over there? Equipment malfunction or C11 related?

Amazing

I know I predicted C11 by Thanksgiving. I meant Christmas. I mean it this time!

My feeling is that we will see many changes in 2021.

Ok. So the entire energy market picks up but still Oxy is down a much larger amount than any of its peers and the majors. The debt is still unbelievably high and we still owe uncle Warren his pound of flesh before we even pay down that debt. Vh has... — read more 

With layoffs occurring here and there who will be left to do the work that requires experience and knowledge? Seems to me we are already at the point where people are doing the work of 2-3 people for the pay of one? Will we be expected to do more and... — read more 

What is the new timeframe for workers to come back to Greenway?

We're going down fast, not going to survive past Thanksgiving...wait what, stock up over 16% so far today, and oil hovering around $43??? O.K., never mind then.

Is this going to be an interesting year as it relates to Occidental Petroleum Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?

To all L-APC who've dealt with the clowns in HR who won't answer simple questions, been buried under extra layers of management, seen friends and co-workers laid off or leave, and who probably STILL don't have Oxy usernames from IT, HAPPY... — read more 

So if oil price recovers somewhat to 45-50 $/bbl would Oxy still have layoffs? Seems like they have way too many people for the business even at higher oil prices.

Its coming and VH cant stop it with her fireside chats Big debt and c-ap assets nobody wants The company has lost 90% of its value and people are celebrating $13 as share like its a huge achievement Desperate people to deserve to lose everything — read more 

Note this

I can't wait to hear the doomsday predictors explain this. Move on. Nothing to see here.

Cramer said that the market loves the oil industry right now. “What you have now is a thesis which says that oil is going to go higher and so I say go with the JP Morgan call and sell the stock,” he said.

Well done VH - Your leadership raises the BAR

Way to go VH

If decision on contractor rate reductions is with the board of directors level, do the BoD have the right information on how much money Oxy is really saving? Rumors are it has been exaggerated by supply chain and is not accurate.

Why haven't the rest of us gotten our annual raises since apparently we are promoting 5 people to director roles in BD. BD should be non-existent after the APC deal since we should no longer be acquiring ANY other interest ever as we cannot afford... — read more 

Not a word on the OxyNet page (Intranet site for employees) about today's Q3 earnings call. Speaks volumes about how Oxy leadership thinks about the company. Hoping the employees look away from this train wreck footage?

This AM's market allows Vh and crew a chance to survive a little longer. The new narrative will be.... we told you to wait and see. This narrative will be the primary message and this leadership team will be given a free pass because of the huge... — read more
