Layoffs are going down this Wednesday. I hope I get chosen! Good luck to everyone at The Reaping!

Can someone explain Devon's long-term strategy, please? I don't get it. Dying on the vine doesn't seem like a viable plan, but it sure seems like that's the company's direction. Maybe it will just buy back all its own stock and the board of... —  read more 

What has become of such a great company. When JC sold to Devon, just like all of us he envisioned his Co. was in good hands. The Canadian portion sold for pennies on the dollar. I was a Devon loyalist, and if it was what was best for Devon then so be... —  read more 

Slowly dismantling a great Co one piece at a time.

having done business with CHK AND DEVON for decades and having been a long time oil producer in 8 states, my view is Devon has followed a similar path in operation style to CHK. Wasting money at every juncture, horrible high cost operations in the... —  read more

This group could easily be outsourced and save the company several million a year. EASILY. I’ve heard everyone in AP wants out so it’s a win-win.

Anyone know when the Barnett Sale will close?

I’ve been in AP for several years and I LOVE it here!! I have had so many growth opportunities in AP and it really is the greatest, most rewarding group in the company! Every day I walk into work I am exhilarated for the new challenges! When... —  read more 

Great googly moogly! If you're still there (and I seriously question why you would be), get out of there asap! Waiting for a severance package (and a Christmas bonus) ain't worth it!

I wonder if that means he’ll get extra gold for his parachute...

Later this week?

That’s the real question? Right? I love those ornaments they hang.

I like to upvote every reply to all of the posts. It is just so much fun.

just curious. will they rent out the other floors?

We are not sure why they only exited a paltry amount of people. Much more is needed and will absolutely happen in the future.

Now that operations has been impacted, accounting should follow suit 2-3 months later. Christmas gift of freedom maybe?

I would assume by now that DH has posted a heart-felt video saying how "difficult" this is for him. Makes you wonder how many takes it took for him to actually appear sincere. Fortunate for him, he did hire the best acting coach shareholder money can... —  read more 

Don’t forget to put on your hard hats boys!!!

CNRL got the assets for a song and a dance. Market realizes that and DVN stock flat/punished. Sad, went from a decent company to a POS. Next on the auction block, DVN Energy.

Get excited folks. Anyone who gets a pink sheet today wins the lottery! May the odds be forever in your favor PS: Contractors are also not safe...

When’s it going down? Pull the trigger already.

Wow, what a monumental announcement they just made. There’s likely to be hundreds of people laid off in the next month. And it now looks like a whopping 3 of them will be VP level or higher. It is a New Devon, after all. I just pray we can survive... —  read more 

I know everyone is wondering why the layoff didn't happen yesterday. I have it on good authority that the Board wanted it pushed into October so it could be rolled into the Devon Spooktacular™ festivities. So use this reprieve to get your... —  read more 

T Boone Pickens once said “If you’re not replacing your assets, you’re liquidating.” Smart man.

Our company just spent two weeks dancing and making absolute fools of themselves. What happened to a professional work environment? Meanwhile Continental, EOG, ConocoPhillips, etc are working hard, growing, and creating value. I doubt they announce... —  read more 

6 days ago, I hit it again. It’s pretty weird to be so glad that I no longer work for a company that I was so happy to have me hire, but there you have it.

Any idea when those layoffs are supposed to take place? What rumors are out there?

Elliot mgmt, please cleanse us of TV, TM and WH’s sins. wash the taint. Please return us to being a real oil company, not a private country club for these sick cuuucks who have been running the company into the dirt.

Now that all of AP’s supply chain contacts are laid off, more problems will plague the group. PO integration will get worse, more invoicing issues, etc. Several people in the group are close to leaving Devon. No one likes the current invoicing... —  read more 

In every battle, there are those who survive, for no known reason. Today, some lucky few were chosen to have liberty bestowed upon them. For the rest who remain, we salute you. Good luck, you poor b–tards.
