I’m not saying VSPs are on the way. But IF they were to come, does anyone rememeber the criteria that was used last time for VSPs? What is the typical starting age and # of years of experience to get one. Trying to figure out if 57ish is low enough. — read more

Seems like our debt load is extremely high now even if they are good assets.

And presto, your post is deleted... Someone is very sensitive about stock price and their ability to continue as a viable company...

Can someone d-mb it down and explain Oxy WB deal? Why it was good or bad for other investors and employees? Please use easy analogies like bird, fish, sticks and stones.

VH only shows up on TV to brag when oil prices are high, acting like it’s all her doing. But when prices drop? She’s nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, other CEOs are consistent, leading through all market conditions. That says a lot, doesn’t it? — read more

Occidental Petroleum: "No, Absolutely not. It's one of the worst of the oils."

Gee, do you think the company should take away work from home first before laying people off? It seems like if they want to maximize efficiency they should get people back to the office. Then if people want to quit because of this then mission... — read more

Anyone hearing anything?
