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 more until we drop from exhaustion? At the rate we’re going Oxy will have a high percentage of attrition by mid-2021 with no one of value left to row the boat.
