Happy to be away from that toxic environment. BTW did you guys ever achieve operational excellence? 😂
APA pays well but I’d have been happier staying with my former employer, the stress and bully leaders is too much.
Leaving Apache was a huge blessing for me. The position I came into after leaving is much better suited for me, in a company that is actually growing and teaching. At Apache, I always just felt like I was waiting for the next shoe to drop. I finally feel like I can focus on development where I am now. Getting laid off was just the push I needed to get out of there and I’m grateful for it.
JC is the worst CEO in the history of any operator. He has done great job of destroying what was once a good company. The entire company stands around everyday and just talks about who will be let go next or what will the next re-org look like, that is the only constant thing at Apache is the negative.
So glad I left, good luck to the ones that stay.
Just miss the money. So over paid.
It’s bittersweet. The workplace is toxic and seeing the incredible talent slowly drain from a company many of us believed in for a long time is hard. But, it is what it is. Best of luck to them.
it’s a tough job market so no one is happy till they land at a new home, but once you do life is better
