During the six years here, I often had a lot to do, and sometimes I had almost nothing to do. Now, however, I have more work to do than ever and I prefer it than not having a job, but what especially frustrates me is when my superiors try to convince... —  read more 

This needs to be a law, not just an EO. Way to go Abbott. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/10/11/texas-greg-abbott-covid-19-vaccine-mandate/

notice they kept it quiet? hmmm maybe cause of HIPAA

Maybe our absurd HR leaders can help us with the covid or vaccine issue. Oh wait-yeah, I see the humor in that. How can we hire people who don’t like people (or themselves) to run the people department. 🙄

No offense but I’ve been here for years and wonder how some people have maintained their employment or been promoted. Incompetence all around. Exactly! It’s not that I think I’m the best worker ever and that there are no better ones than me... —  read more 

Doesn't it seem to you that it is easier for newbies here to get a job now than ever before? I don't want to offend anyone, but I'm a little surprised that people have been given jobs in positions that far exceed their competencies.

I wonder if it’s a good idea to ask for a raise if I want to keep my job here? The air is thick and I'm afraid of becoming a target or losing my job if I do so. Does anyone have any advice? I would love for someone to share their experience if they... —  read more 

Rumors about September layoffs have been intensifying. There are very few details, though, so please share if you know something. I'm not even worried about my name being on the list anymore. I've been preparing for the possibility for months now, so... —  read more 

Anyone know what month they will pay bonus this year since they always change it?

How many positive cases in Plano Tower?

The distribution of work was never absolutely fair, some always had a little more work to do. However, have you too noticed lately that some do almost nothing while some do work for two or three people? It definitely doesn't help raise morale in... —  read more 

Yet you clowns are in here defending this ludicrous policy, where’s HSE? It’s clear HSE doesn’t give a damn about any of us.

Minimal communication. He won’t make any decisions made about projects. The team presented to him weeks ago for money. No answer. We are stagnant. He clearly does not care about our safety. My VP told me not all executives are vaccinated. ... —  read more 

HSE and HR refuse to stand up to Chris Kringle and have failed us all. Dallas has 25 Icu beds available, yet HSE/HR are SILENT. Do we have an HSE system or not? How exactly is a vaccine lottery REALLY supposed to keep us safe? That’s... —  read more 

The silence regarding our response is deafening. I was told I still had to come to the office but to stay out of conference rooms and not to gather with others. Word is they are tracking many cases in field and Plano. What are they doing? Are... —  read more 

Seems that people are a bit happier lately...

I heard we are bringing in another contract company for training??? Is this really a thing?

A few weeks back now and I’ve noticed that I work about 40 minutes less per day than when we were WFH. I was told we are back because executives want to see us, haven’t seen a single one. Not even during the fire drill.

What happened with our employee mixer scheduled for this afternoon? "Postponed" at the last minute??

Denbury is one of the better places to work these days. If you don't believe me, go check out some other O&G companies on this forum. While working here is not perfect, it's certainly not as bad as some would like to paint it. Compared to others, we... —  read more 

It's been a while since the last major round. All I've been hearing about lately are occasional cuts here and there (not even layoffs) which makes me hopeful that we might be getting some semblance of job security back. Am I being too optimistic... —  read more 

Returned to the office this week - curious other’s thoughts.

I don’t think it would be a good thing for Denbury to be sold, but I see here that some are even hoping for it. I would love to hear arguments as to why some think it would be good to be sold. I definitely hope I get out of here before that maybe... —  read more 

I hear the company is up for sale. Has anyone else heard this?

Isn’t there a new board to oversee the overall operations of the company to make sure we don’t make the same mistakes? All I see is a lot of money and shares to executives and 2% raises to employees. I hear we’re losing some good people. —  read more 

Personal at the Heidelberg field were told today layoff is coming in two weeks. Dustin gave them a two week notice and said that half of the personal would be cut at that time. Most of the personal have been with Dendury over 20 years and will... —  read more 

I don’t know if I’ve ever been less motivated to work here and more motivated to get out of here. Also, I never felt so stuck in any company. I’ve sent an enormous amount of applications for some new solid job I’ve been looking for months. What are... —  read more 

Which group or person has the biggest ego at DEN?

Everyone happy now?

Nice to hear the debt holders can be made hold. What about the employees that lost thousands on stock that we purchased and hoped that we would at least be made whole?

Anyone have any idea what the town hall meeting will be? Other than everything is great and we are excited for the future. Is there going to be any actual news??

Someone here put it nicely, there are a lot of workplace issues, but in order for them to be solved, a real HR leader is needed, one who is really interested and dedicated to solving these problems. Of course, HR exists there only to protect the... —  read more 

Morale is at an all time low and it just seems the message from the top is carry on and don’t question benefits. (Raises, work schedule flexibility, bonus timing). I agree that I’ve never considered leaving Denbury but they are making it very... —  read more 

I'm still disappointed in what our leaders landed on. WFH has been working seamlessly AT HOME. Now we need to come into the office so that we can sit at a desk to do the same. The new office lacks conference rooms so i still dont quite... —  read more 

How many shares have you received since bankruptcy? Our fearless leader got 735,745.....for those wondering that’s over $40,000,000 at today’s stock price. My 2% raise sure does look awesome against that. Say what you want about the previous... —  read more 

The 2020 bonus was paid as a retention quarterly from July 2020 - April 2021 because we are so valued. But what is the plan for 2021 bonus? I feel like I’m missing something. There will be more than 5 people job searching if there’s no possibility... —  read more
