If you are proud to work at Apache, you need to develop some self respect.

Something's up. Everyone I speak to seems to feel it. Closed doors, distant and directionless management whose plans shift day to day. All of which, historically, has been an ill omen for all involved. Nothing is working, activity is low... —  read more 

The latest video from JC and "Thunder Dome" MM is riddled with holes. They speak of employees wanting a "hybrid work model" but no one I talk to wants to go back to the office in any capacity. Seriously, who wants to go back to spending an hour and a... —  read more 

Is Christmann REALLY the right man for the job? Even he has to be shocked that he is still CEO.

This is just par for the course, but is anyone remotely surprised that the brand new DIRECTOR of onshore healthy and safety just happens to be the hubby of our one and only VP of HR? The person with the second (or third) most hiring authority just... —  read more 

I think a permanent work from home program would go a LONG way. Those who want to go to the office can, but I already never want to put on stiff dress clothes to drive in bumper-to-bumper Houston traffic ever again.

It's Friday August 14th and Apache still s—s!

This is going to sound odd for some of you, but I want to say thank you to the Project Ascend Team and incompetent leadership throughout the company. If I was not laid off, I would have stayed on the sinking ship and went down without a life jacket... —  read more 

thoughts?

Let it out, guys. I will start: fire Christmann.

I realize I don't speak for everybody, but I would be the first to step back into the office if they would let me. I'll sign a waiver, I'll do whatever I have to do for the company to not feel liable for my safety. Working from home is a kind of... —  read more 

No rigs, but we have a new plane.

I was wondering if it’s only me feeling this way. Yes, I’m grateful I have a job. Surviving countless layoffs at Apa stresses me out. It’s that constant fear, sinking morale, overworking picking what others were doing, teams destroyed, less sense of... —  read more 

While this page seems to be a venting outlet I'd like to commend APA on the way they've handled this entire COVID pandemic. They could easily require us to be back in the field and office but have allowed us to work remotely for months (I realize... —  read more 

Apache Employees continue to get things taken away. Yet Contractors/Consultants and Third Parties are still getting paid for the same things. Apache took away Housing for employees in Alpine High. Yet Consultants get a per diem, Altus Midstream... —  read more 

In the last 2 weeks field teams have been threatened twice by management to withhold or garnish out next years bonus for any driving violations, or if we are caught not wearing our masks in the office or while on location with other people. .. —  read more 

thought we were past that....

From another thread Apache will, under current conditions, very soon be looking at an exhausted staff if it isn’t already. We’ve had years of talent walking out the door, promoting more to our manager ranks, laying off workers at the bottom, and... —  read more 

He ranks #8. I wish this would reflect company performance too. Probably APA not even top 50 of best performing companies and stocks. Make Apache Great Again hehehe

I'd really like to know why Apache treats employees who have been laid off (not fired for something they did but laid off) like common criminals and escorts them out of the building without letting them pick up their personal belongings. What do they... —  read more 

Layoffs happening as I type. Permian

In virtual town-hall meeting It was mentioned executives’ pay cut, and the answer was that they took pay cuts because the stock price went down?

This company must have an A team of id–ts working around the clock on how to drive this once great company in the ground. We now have decided to not flare ever. No government mandate. We our doing it because we are now green. What stupidity with... —  read more 

Management is a joke. Why do you need 4 Directors and a VP who brownnosed his way to the top? Still hoping for a package because common sense left this department a long time ago.

I've hated this company, this job, and this industry for the last 3 years or so. For those of us who are fresh out of school...boy oh boy did we miss the boat on a fun career in oil and gas. Give me severance and let me walk away from this empty... —  read more 

Don't forget the Environmental, Health, Safety and Emergency Management department! They need some more cuts since safety doesn't matter anyways. Plus, we need to create new spots for the rejects the new incompetent VP is trying to save from... —  read more 

Apache couldn’t care less about their employees or their well beings. Many of people have busted their asses for this company and they don’t care. Not one bit. Unless you are certain people or certain contractors. They have decided to stop... —  read more 

Going on now

Any layoffs coming or are we done? I saw last weeks comment about a slaughter but nothing has happened.

Rumors are circulating that APA leadership is considering allowing non-essential personnel to work remotely indefinitely. Has anyone else heard this? With so many companies (Twitter, Coca Cola, Google, Kiewit etc.) moving to a virtual work day it... —  read more 

Apache has used Project Ascend to downgrade and downskill nearly every team in our “strong, diverse portfolio”. That is a move others are not taking. Cannot wait to see how this plays out. Fire in the belly y’all! Roll Call: What’s your favorite... —  read more 

Sounds like there going to be a slaughter in Midland soon.

Just wait girls and boys.

Thursdays seem to be the favorite days for layoffs. Anyone heard anything lately?
