Make sure that you stay in the good graces of the select few in the management while nodding affirmatively to their every line and never expressing a thought of your own. It really is that simple. If, however, you would like to offer ideas, ask... — read more 

I enjoyed the Q4 earnings and announcements of other Pioneer events going on this year. This is a great company to work for! People love to look at the negatives, but all in all it’s a great place.

Increasing the drilling program, due to high oil prices, would be a colossal mistake. The speed of the current program is nearly unattainable, adding more inventory would break the program. Not too mention, by the time the program does ramp up, the... — read more 

I hate it

Our people are the best assets!

How does more reorg give us opportunity?

Are they cutting million dollar checks?

I think Sheffield is maneuvering the company in that direction. This E S G ( can’t write acronym as one or post will be deleted) charade will buy time, but no matter how many “investments” you make into that effort, activists will never be happy with... — read more 

60 cases this week!? Time for SS to show how much he cares about the people.

I’m hoping this is the year I have the courage to leave this place. I’ve modeled out my earnings for the next 10yrs and it’s depressing to think I’ll be stuck in the same role with nothing to show for it. Depressing. It used to feel like Scott... — read more 

I'm optimistic type person most of the time and I try to look at things from a positive side, but as for 2022, I think it will be even harder in this company.

Are we really expected to be happy about the holiday bonus being replaced by the variable dividend? Especially folks with a much lower stock award amount than other salary grades? Especially when those shares are automatically settled in cash, while... — read more 

On target this year?

I heard DVN employees got $10k xmas bonus, will we get the same?

I am about to start. Grateful for a great job and a good pay. Any future advice is appreciated.

Is it happening?

“Official” inflation is 5.4%, CPI is 6.2%…and top performers will get a 3% raise.

December Bonus Please!

Are there going to be layoffs for the Delaware workers?

Our rich CEO states that OPEC is doing a good job balancing supply, because that is what gave us a record quarter and will continue to fatten his wallet. This while energy prices are driving massive inflation and causing American families to... — read more 

What do we think about the land sale to Continental?

Does that mean we are safe from layoffs until then?

My take from the meeting yesterday is that we are excited to participate in the destruction of American energy production, because somehow that is good for business. Totally makes sense. We just need that pesky polluting country on the other side of... — read more 

Losses from hedges this year: Q1 = $691M Q2 = $832M Q3 = $501M Q4 = $???M I'm sure the company will spin this as "hedge losses are decreasing", but +$2B (that's B for billion) for 2021, really? Meanwhile, the employees suffer due to poor decisions... — read more 

Can’t even attend the oil show.

Enough said.

Any guesses on who buys the Delaware?

I don’t know if any reorg in the past has made this company any better. It seems to me that after each reorganization this is becoming an increasingly dysfunctional company.

Almost everyone in my department is vaccinated except 3. So that makes 3/14. Vaccinated people still social distance at work and wear masks. Unvaccinated people won’t wear masks and the supervisor won’t address it. PXD is happily ensuring... — read more 

Have you been getting more and more of “my last day will be” emails lately? I got quite a few lately. I’m glad when people find something better and leave, but I’m also worried about who’s going to do their job? I will not accept any additional... — read more 

Surely we will get bigger bonuses and real raises if oil and gas prices remain high, right? They won’t give all that profit to the dividend, right?

Non-mandate, mandate

We are setting emissions and production goals into 2030 and beyond. Can we last that long?

The guys out in the Delaware are going to make out like bandits with severance once the basin is sold.

Who will purchased PXD assets in the Delaware basin?
