If Anadarko follows its peers:
Older employees will be laid off and "cash out." Expect to see employees do cartwheels in the hallway on their way out when they see their severance, assuming they are retirement ready.
Geology will be devastated, especially in older assets where most everything is known about the asset.
Drilling and Completions will be hit hard, and younger engineers will be moved into production and reservoir.
Also, land administration could be devastated and Anadarko could demote landmen into their roles.
"Last in First out" - New College Grads who management knows can go back to school? Maybe-if they want to keep experience???
Oh and transfers and pay cuts are always a possibility!!!
