All of you still at APA acting like the first episode of Severance. You choose to keep returning to that god forsaken place working for those god forsaken people.

Just more sales speeches and no transparency. Hope is derived from leaders that are accountable and honest, not from leaders that only preach optimism. Glad you are so excited about our future, wish we could say the same.

Is Apache slowly getting butchered?

Does anyone know how many times APA has spent hundreds of millions of dollars hiring McKinsey and other management consultants to tell the organization they needed to operate more efficiently? Meanwhile telling their staff to operate more... — read more 

The ELT has more skin in the game than any of you. You know how much stock they all own? So when the stock tanks, yes, your LTI takes a hit. But when the stock hits the sh----r, thr ELT can’t maintain their vacation houses or add to their wine... — read more 

Another bad day

Use your proxy vote to make a statement. Quit asking why the board doesn’t do anything and use your vote to change the board. Apache doesn’t even look like the company it was. Raymond Plank would be devastated to see what it has become. Vote by May... — read more 

This place just refuses to let you grow. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much potential you show, where you are is where you're going to stay. It's really that simple. If you're trying to build a career, you're pretty much out of luck. The... — read more 

Rumors are increasing again that we are on the block.

What topics will our feckless* leaders have in store for us at the town hall? Why their salaries are reasonable. Why we have to do more with less. Why they have to lay off more of us. Whatever McKinsey tells them to say. *For School... — read more 

Don’t like your new title and departments taken away.

Upper management cannot see what's going on with contract hands but they let it slide anyway !! They will pull us all down.

Does it mean each team will have a landman, geoph, geol, re, pe, fe, and planner? Or we got no clue?

Were there cuts yesterday? Can anybody share if their group was hit?

Absolutely pitiful, this executive team is awful!

Both are good in state schools. Why

“The magnitude and timing of cost savings were both disappointing relative to our prior expectations,” he wrote in a March 10 note to investors. “Given current oil price uncertainty, we feel it prudent to temper enthusiasm.”

Thoughts on announcement today?

Throwing out P/I, sudden obsession with stick count and faster production… Smells like a pump & dump! Any rumors about which company or companies came with the offer the CEO mentioned in the town hall?

Does anyone know if Apache allows you to keep your 401k funds in their retirement fund within Fidelity or should we rollover to IRA?

Massive layoffs. And now all you see is promotions across the board on LinkedIn? Why am I NOT surprised. Like this wasn’t planned? You will Never be Premier

Today's stock price showcases the value of this team and its cross-eyed leader. This team's existence showcases the C-suite's idiocy.

We can agree on ELT made bad decisions one after another, but the real issue is that we have way too many 30 year old VPs, directors, senior managers, and senior advisors. Think about it.

Been here since December 2011. It was wild being on the other side of the layoffs this time. We walked so many good folks out on that Tuesday. Wednesday morning at 8am, I got the call on my off-day! Being part of the security team it was hard. Went... — read more

The worst part was moving us into the new building. We were no longer isolated in POC and we were able to get to know each other in the new building. People were no longer just a name on Teams, but rather someone you would say hi to in the elevator. — read more
