Thread regarding Anadarko Petroleum Corp. layoffs

I love Anadarko because it is the best organization that I have worked for. The reason for this is you, the people.

Everybody I work with is great. Each in their own way. Some very normal, a few quite odd. Everybody I work with is valuable and the organization is not going to be as good without each and everyone of you.

We have been Pearl Harbored by the Saudis.

I hope each of you that remain stay true to the battle and help APC strike back like a sleeping giant. Keep the wells pumping at such a volume that the Saudis eventually go back to doing nothing but swatting flies from camel crap. The camel crap they are going to have to serve up because no one needs their worthless crude any longer.

It's a good fight. I will miss APC and each one of you.

We have been greedy and we are paying for it.

This post is right on the mark. Our leadership certainly isn't perfect, but come on. Like any of us would have shrunk from trying to maximize shareholder returns?

We definitely took a hit and our leadership is going to be better for the punch to the nose.

Properly identify who the fight is against and focus on that fight. Management is not my enemy. It is those that are bringing harm to my way of life.

Hint: They ride camels. ;)

If I do not survive this round, I wish my friends and coworkers well.

It will $20 oil for as long as the eye can see. The massive Ponzi scheme that is China is beginning to crumble. The demand for oil will be flat or declining for the next decade. OPEC has essentially put American oil out of business.

This post is gloriously stupid. Saudis didn't force them to go on a hiring frenzy or build a second tower or lock up iron clad long term deepwater rig contracts at the market highs or....you get the point.

This company was good at one point but they lost it not because of low oil prices but because of arrogance. Jim Hackett ran a good company Al Walker is a terrible leader. I wish you all the best but your HR department is the most deceptive people in the world....right up there with Al Walker. I feel sorry for your losses but your management and board did it to you all. Bring back Jim and bring back Mary the rest are dummies.

Nope. This person has a point.

We are in a fight with a bully that is trying to make us bow down and kiss their ring.

We've taken it on the chin. It was a sucker punch, but we can put this bully out of business. I say we hold these guys down and make them eat some sand.

All the Saudis did was let us hang ourselves. We created the oversupply. They just didn't bail us out by cutting production . Why should they?
