Was there a strategy shift in the last couple of weeks? I thought Oxy was supposed to build and operate 50? 70? 100? plants and sell credits. Now they are talking about licensing them instead? I'm not complaining - as an investor, I wasn't sold on... — read more 

Oxy. Always has been a loser, and its leadership from CEO to Managers, always lacking and incompetent. Is it even an oil and gas company now, or a green-wannabe? No wonder Chevron did a hard pass. Vicki as CEO still makes me laugh.

So im fairly new to here as it is my 1st job out of school and the team I'm on isn't the best. All the other engineers are doing their own thing and don't teach, same with the lead engineer. Any advice with this?

Is there more reorganization coming? It seems like now is the time to clean house.

Seems par for the course. But at least the world got to see the Oxy logo on the Astros jerseys after Framber’s no-no yesterday. Is capex going up for DAC or for oil and gas production?

Why is there so much turnover in the land department? It seems especially bad lately, are people just unhappy? Seems like quite a few folks are also leaving for renewable energy jobs or oil companies with much better pay.

Been here a couple of weeks but the department im in is really unorganized

Just curious what your total compensation package looks like lately. Obviously very oil price dependent.

It seems like from the posts that the work force is very green now. Not that it’s bad to have young professions but you also need experienced mentors.

Like whats the process like, etc

One of the few things I have no complaints about here is the pay. That's the only reason I'm still here and I'm a little surprised by those who say they are underpaid.

At what grade do employees typically get stock bonuses?

How long before the VP D&I position is eliminated and those responsibilities are simply incorporated into the HR department?

If you change roles within the company ( not promotion) do you get a new offer? Lets say within the same org just different role.Not expecting anything just wanted to know that's all.

And the takeaway today is... Stock buybacks for the foreseeable future! Going to be tough sledding at Oxy till the debt becomes manageable. Minor nod to OxyChem and Carbon capture. Long lateral's in the DJ basin. Sorry for prodding you to find new... — read more

While some are super busy, others do almost nothing, because that's how the work is distributed around here.

In my discipline in the main office there are many technical staff in senior grades which can barely keep up with times. Just poor technical skills and no subject depth. It seems it's a purely union shop? Years in the industry define your grade, no... — read more

Heard a rumor of CVX buying Oxy? Is this true , is it good or bad?

Personally, coming to the office does not give me any illusion that my job is safer than not coming to the office. Why do some think that coming to the office makes their job more secure from offshoring?

I know that things on here should be taken with a grain of salt but I'm still curious. What do you dislike/like about the company or what has your personal experience been like? What would you say to someone who is thinking about applying or to past... — read more
