Pioneer was great for some time, I met some wonderful people who hopefully I will stay friends with going forward. As I got my call yesterday, my manager started on telling me how I great I was, how knowledgeable i was. He kept on going for a little... — read more 

Why do they use the same scripted questions and not answer real ones that are submitted? Cowards and liars.

I started with Pioneer in the winter of 1998, had to pinch myself for working with an incredible company that was adding reserves and on the cutting edge. There were hiccups early on in the marriage between a Permian black oil company and T. Boone... — read more 

Pioneer made me a lot of money. I urge those NOT in the ladder half of their careers to seek the new progressive company that will push you into the career you want. It was a decent stop but after being here I realize that Pioneer is a cesspool that... — read more 

The events of today were more of a wake for the departed, my departure was in March of 2019. In 2014 Pioneer had to have highly trained and Texas Licensed Public Water System operators for remote offices that were on water wells Seven men... — read more 

I’ve been with the company less than a year. Could I have received the same package as everyone else that took it?

Now that it's over.... For those of you that got the package. Be grateful, as you got plenty of money to start over. If it wasn't enough, question your spending habits, not Pioneers generosity that they have shown you. For those who have been... — read more 

As someone who personally asked for the package, I can wholeheartedly say it’s for the best. After talking with multiple people who are still in the organization, it sounds like the demotions/promotions that are being given are causing a lot of... — read more 

Pioneer relocated me from Midland a year ago and today laid me off. My husband and I gave up our home of 38 years to stay with this company. We never would have left Midland and there is no excuse for what this company just did. I can thank my... — read more 

Surely Land and IT will get another chop ... anyone know?

Still no phone call on my end. Anybody else?

I was trying to figure out how many Raptors I could buy with my severance? Originally I thought it would be 2-3 but factoring in taxes I realize it might only be 1.5. Can any of you help?

Email from tyson went out

Looks like it’s not happening this week

For all PXD employees, how does this affect your morale and loyalty? Even if you get to stay after the layoff, will it make you want to work even harder and be more loyal to the company? Or will you start looking for a way out?

All that are still at Pioneer be very careful how you access this lay-off site, it may cause you to leave the company prematurely and without a package. Please do not use your company computer or company issued mobile phone. The Pioneer IT and... — read more 

What are they doing with people that were hired in the last 6-12 months?

Is the real D Day. Everything else is just a tease. A small fraction of the 15%. The rest will get the email/skype treatment on actual D Day. Be strong for another week folks.

Good luck everybody, this time it's really happening.

Word is Midkiff office will be shut down?

BLACK FRIDAY. GOD SPEED...

Next Tuesday is the day.

Does anyone actually think this will change years or poor management and a paradigm shift from investors? But hey, those who remain might still get free lunch! We’ve got the best rock and the best people, RESPECT values still matter!

May the odds be ever in your favor.

I’m just curious how many people currently trashing PXD were the same ones saying “it’s just business” when PPS got sold to a bottom of the barrel criminal organization.

For layoffs of this magnitude the WARN act requires affected employees be provided 60 days notice. Contrary to other posters' contentions, the notice need not take any particular form, so long as it is reasonably calculated to provide the affected... — read more 

So do you really think tomorrow’s meetings are for a safety stand down? That’s what Hwy 80 called it but Midkiff just called it a parking lot meeting. A lot of people taking packages and not the job offered. People who did take new positions start... — read more 

would HR or management have an issue if we started a layoff pool? 50 buck buy-in winner takes all?

So somebody posted this on Chesapeakes page. Figured Id help this poor guy out and repost on here. Kind of ironic how he calls everyone else stupid and dumb but can't post on the right page. Just sayin' "No matter what position you are in, PXD has... — read more

How will everyone left behind spend their extra two week paycheck?

Anyone with any ambition or smarts is already interviewing. PXD will be left with the braindead, low hanging fruit who just want a free lunch out of their careers. What an incredible disaster. This titanic was steered straight into the iceberg by... — read more
