Thread regarding Devon Energy Corp. layoffs

Rebuilding the EHS Empire

Wow, wow. Im just astonished. After all the layoffs, now i see an EHS position in Cuero, Artesia, and yes even Gillette! Does management have any clue what it costs to lay off good people, pay severance, throw away thousands in training costs, and then...hire the same positions back?

Retrain, relocate, re-risk.

Who the frack would sign on for that?

On the technical side they are hiring to back fill the mass exodus of people who made it through the purge. The month notice, inconsistent message of what was happening post layoff, $70 oil, and tons of opportunity elsewhere has lead people to apply and take jobs elsewhere... as for EHS, that’s insanely stupid to wipe out the entire dept then hire replacements to do same job.

They also posted a petrophysicist position recently. Why get rid of talented petrophysicists and hire others in their place?? In some parts of the world that’s illegal. In all parts of the world it’s painfully stupid.
