Thread regarding Occidental Petroleum Corp. layoffs

Did Vicki ever work out of the old Bakersfield headquarters for international? I am guessing not because although she has been with Oxy a while she doesn’t seem to be aligned with the company. The real Oxy was associated with the Bakersfield office before the year 2000 and not the Houston Oxy USA office.

Great article

OP: Thanks for the article/link.
The article doesn't say anything we didn't already know. But I appreciate that its put out their in public again. Every bit of public humiliation is one more nail in Big Aunt's coffin. She deserves it, and more.

What the article doesn't cover is the disastrous "Cult of Vicki" created within the OXY organization.
The gender-discrimination, the "woke" stupidity. The mishandling of real-estate (remember the Conoco building we bought, renovated, then parted with, within 12 months?

Any CEO has 2 "big picture" roles: capital allocation and communication. Aunt Vicki is atrocious at both of these. She is like Larry, Moe and Curly wrapped up into a single person. But Blackrock and Vanguard love her, cause she's the first female CEO of a N. American oil company...

We are living in Bizarro-world.

VH is a loser
Whos the joker running the Algerian operation?

A 'Vicki' is worse than a 'Karen.' Usage: That S&P stock braggard is a real Vicki,

@ickb it’s “losing” not “loosing”. Chazen was working for another company when the deal was going down. Duh!

You’re the DA who kept your match in Oxy stock. Smart folks moved it into the S&P fund regularly and have great 401k returns.

Ha. VH is as desperate and cutthroat as they get. If you think otherwise, you are delusional.
What a buffoon. F-ed everyone's 401K forever, put this ailing company in more danger, and was
unrepentant. Nice try to re-write history, but she's an id–t.

The article was quite critical of the deal and why it was made in the first place. If you have to go whoring around the world to sell properties and to get cash then that tells you something. Oxy was way out of their league on this deal and should have just left it alone. Who allowed this to happen. Where was Steve Chazen or the other members of executive management when this was happening. Even the lower levels of executive management should have discretely commented on the problems with this deal, even if it meant loosing their jobs. Where is the INTEGRiTY.

From an employee perspective, the acquisition might actually be a good deal if the alternative was for Oxy to be acquired. The article speaks to Vicki’s engineering focus and emphasis on a less cutthroat company culture.
