Who else has heard about the 30,000 acres in southern Oklahoma Apache has leased. Apparently it runs into Texas also. Is this the Alpine?

It seems to me that the leadership is completely without an idea of where this company should go. The Apache lost its compass. How can you be motivated to work in such an environment when the leadership has no strategy??? Where should one turn for... —  read more 

So much of Legacy will be left soon? What they trying to sell next to free up capital????

Don’t apply. Save yourself. If you are any good at your job you will be seen as a threat. You’ll end up working for someone who should be your assistant.

Now how much did the clowns on 14 give themselves?

The company continues a long tradition of having only a vague upstream strategy driven by existing assets, like monetize stranded gas or develop unconventionals. Decisions are typically proposals from lower management to do obvious projects which are... —  read more 

BJ (hahahahaha)

Who is waiting for a hopeful buyout? Really curious. I bet it's much Much more than people are aware of.

Clearly evident by the faces on the 2020 annual summary report. Nobody likes you MP!!

Election of Director: JC

Gotta make room in the budget for all the executive hiring and promoting. So, who's ready for demotions next month? JC if we're an Apache family then where's my invite to your dinner table? I'm hungry

So EV got demoted?

This company needs to work on its Trust issues. Until that's fixed, we are all doomed.

Former employees are starting to get contacted for comment by some of these legal firms. The plot thickens, so they say.

Everyone else is at least to pre-COVID stock price. Not us. Thanks, John

People who still believe they can have a career here are living with their heads buried in the sand. Look around you. How many people who've been here for more than 20 (or even 15) years are still around? As soon as you reach a certain pay grade, you... —  read more 

If there's a reason to go out of my way and do anything but the bare minimum at Apache I can't find it. Initiative and hard work are only rewarded with more work and nothing else. No pay increases, no bonuses, no promotions, nothing. Mediocrity seems... —  read more 

Are we certain nothing is happening before April?

After the layoff, I still haven't found a similar job. All my attempts to find a job in this industry again have failed, even though I sent out a lot of applications. I’m still not desperate because I have savings, but the money runs out... —  read more 

(Correcting prior post. Assuming this is what was meant.)

I joined. Did you?

I would love to be laid off because I’m really fed up with this company. I feel like I’ve been here too long and it’s only now that I see that I shouldn’t have stayed here that long, but changed several different companies instead. At this point... —  read more 

Someone I really respected was laid off and I can’t believe they did that to a man of such capacity. He immediately found a new job and there are no problems for him, but I still don’t understand the logic behind it. It's really become apparent they... —  read more 

Insight anyone?

It's been a little over a year since I left. I was tired of constant management through bullying, being overworked and underpaid, and having to navigate one of the most toxic work environments I've seen in my two-decades long career. I did like the... —  read more 

I have never been a part of a department that is so run down and discouraged as EHS is now. Until a year ago we were an incredibly motivated team. Now people hate their jobs and talk about leaving because JJ fires the good ones. If the president... —  read more 

How does a FINANCIAL magazine name Apache one of the “Most Admired Companies of 2020” when our stock is rated Junk?

Funny enough for the few jobs in Paris, HR doesn’t think anybody at Apa is good enough and need to hire from outside instead of internally.

Does it surprise anyone the Diversity is more important than safety! What a joke. So long as the 2 id–ts (C and J) are running the show and show elementary leadership abilities by not listening to the SMEs the company should remove all core values... —  read more 

So what's next?

Anyone want to give their projections on what's going to happen at Apache? Industry in general?

According to Glassdoor, current and former Apache employees give JC a 29% approval rating. Let. That. Sink. In.

I'd be happy to leave as some are suggesting but where can I go? I've been sending out my resume left and right for the past six months and I haven't even been able to land an interview yet. Where are these companies that are hiring? I can't find any... —  read more 

I still can't believe I've wasted two years of my life at Apache. Two years under a useless manager with no management or any other skills, two years in a toxic work environment, two years having to do two jobs for the pay of one. I finally got the... —  read more 

Apache’s executives have never been imaginative. They have always been distracted by shiny objects and trying to follow what some other company is doing without any understanding of whether the same works with Apache’s assets or skill-sets. They... —  read more 

When did this company go from a great place to work to a place most of the employees are looking to leave, one way or another? Asking for a friend.

A few readers here are probably aware the company intends to offload some Permian properties pretty soon. The list is already quite long and will likely grow. Unfortunately this means quite a few individuals will be shown the door. Again, Apache... —  read more 

To all my current and past Apache colleagues I hope 2021 is brighter and more prosperous for you than 2020. I also hope that Apache is bought or JC and his multiple layers of nepotised henchmen are canned. Here is to hope!
