What’s the body count up to now? I hear they are dropping anyone who even plays nice with the WPX folks. Only those actively trying to sabotage those that came over in the acquisition are allowed to remain.

So glad they finally posted a position to handle the pipe data in the BUs. The data has been trash for years. Hopefully whoever they hire in that data role will be better than the current nincompoop. I won’t hold my breath though, no good can come... —  read more 

On the news Tulsans were thankful for building a very attractive vacant building in the downtown. It opens this week to the one or two occupants (probably realtors) and christians the start of the next recession. From my house I can still see the... —  read more 

All these articles about the Russian military in disarray, being routed by the Ukrainians, the internal power struggles, and squabbling, has me thinking about Devon and how the technological ineptitude and corruption would be exposed if we would just... —  read more 

That’s just how you live a long and healthy life at Devon. It’s worked for me well, banking the stock and dividends for my trips to Mexico all while I do the bare minimum and keep my head down. Now Quiet Firing! That is a well used tactic, especially... —  read more 

30+ positions open at the company. Are that many people leaving?!

18 months since the merger is here. Will there be a mass exodus since people no longer have to pay back as much of the relocation package? Or will the recession fears keep them in a toxic workplace with terribly unethical leaders?

Another bright idea brought from the WPX acquisition. Bitcoin mining has been going on in the north for years. So enjoy this win, but don’t give credit to those posers in IT, this had NOTHING to do with them.

It doesn’t matter how many podcasts you go on bro, until you treat the cancer in your org, your failure will always be the worst kept secret in OKC.

With just a three letter word you can progress and climb the ladder at a speed faster than fathomable. Yes. Yes men are rewarded and those who form a rational thought to the contrary are labeled trouble makers and get the mark of the beast. Yes men... —  read more 

From the outside it looks like a hint of the old Devon! Fake it till you make it was a great move. Next step is "make it till you break it" which is in Devon's DNA. Good luck with the next step and leave Harold something to buy.

So are you all booking 4000 lines of revenue by hand? Just curious because this company that I’m at now does. What is automation? I’m an expensive data entry clerk!!! 4000 lines?!?

As Conoco eyes the Permian and plans to be the big dog in town, wouldn’t it be so wonderful if they swallowed us up? ;)

Devon's become a joke of a company. I'm a bit nostalgic now. What were the best years here for you?

Everyone knows she uses layoffs as cover to remove those who dissent. But where does her power come from? Her reign of te---r is felt by all, but no one can seem to answer the question. Where does her power come from?

That’s laughable. You can write all the flowy articles you want about data and technology, but until you change your leaders in technology from safeguarding their empires to actually innovating, Devon’s trash data and backwards mindset will be the... —  read more 

They have exhausted their efforts, the leadership has no grasp on what the company needs to be, or how to get to a recovery position. The field offices are filled with the trash they left when they purged those who wouldn`t drink the koolaid. They... —  read more 

Did you all see jack climbing that beanstalk looking for the magic? Little does he know what really lies at the top.

A bad system will beat a good person every time.

So now that John Raines has consolidated his power base, any bets on how long until he goes after Clay Gaspars head? The prophecy will then be fulfilled. The heir apparent satisfied.

Does that mean that the rumored cuts can be expected to happen in June?

So how’s everyone else doing getting rid of the WPX folks?

Y’all tryna be Google, you ain’t even YAHOO! y’all tryna be Apple, you ain’t even AOL

I believe that the upcoming quarterly results will be more than good. Perhaps someone else wants to make a prediction? However, when it comes to us employees, I have no high hopes.

rumor is the axe falls today

Why would you reduce headcount in one of the most busy areas? It’s coming get ready!!

What other options are you considering? I would rather go to a much smaller company.

Any one hearing the rumor that CLR is interested in the DVN Tower, and is discussing a swap with DVN returning to the old DVN building, and CLR taking up the Tower? One Company with a bright future, needs expansion space, the other a sinking ship... —  read more 

I absolutely do not believe in this leadership and I doubt that they even have a clear vision and plan for the future of this company. They may have a good plan for themselves, but I would say they are leading this company in the wrong direction. I... —  read more

That is my personal opinion. Maybe someone has a different prediction?

Rather than building a new county jail, let's use all of the empty space in Larry's tower.

Now that bonuses are out, how many of you are looking for greener grass?

I'm pretty pi---d off. These guys across the industry, at Devon in particular have been ripping off landowners for many year stealing millions and even billions of dollars from the rightful owners. They use every trick they can think of. Anybody else... —  read more

I could take all the cr-p they dish out daily if I was paid enough. I'm not, though. So I'm done.

Got some buddies out in Loving co. who keep saying their check stubs haven't looked right ever since all this news on royalty underpayments came to their attention. I'm sure all these operators try to pull a quick one on the rightful landowner, but... —  read more 

A voluntary round would be ideal. I'm ready to leave but after more than a decade, I'd hate to miss a chance at severance. If it wasn't for that, I'd be long gone. As it is, I've now been here longer than I planned. I keep coming here in hopes of... —  read more
