Starting to hear the rumblings of an oasis/whiting merger. Who does everything think will be running it.

Hello everyone. I'm a freelance journalist in the Denver area and some of my work as been published in a local business journal. One of my colleagues is currently working on a story about favors and protection within the HR department. While that... —  read more 

When the next round of layoffs happen, the guy in charge of HR will stare coldly into your eyes while an outside consultant reads a prepared statement explaining your severance package benefits. No compassion and no remorse. He wants to see how much... —  read more 

Reading these posts it's obvious that so many of you despise your jobs. If that's the case, why don't you quit? Nobody is forcing you to be here. I like my job. I like having a job when the economy is far from ideal. But if I didn't, nothing could... —  read more 

Honestly, sometimes flipping burgers at McDonalds seems like a preferable option to this place. I'm so tired of the constant stressing, politics, nepotism over merit, corrupt managers... It never ends. I don't see how things could get much worse than... —  read more 

I always knew that HR was never there because of the employees, but I hoped that maybe in some cases they could be a place of support and help for us. What a mistake. They simply do not take our interests into account at all. I had a little problem... —  read more 

This has all got to come crashing down soon. They laid off their technical people in operations. They promoted people to those positions who honestly don't know what the fahk they are doing. Every efficiency they had gained over the past years... —  read more 

I survived the last RIF after only being here for two years. I've never experienced anything like this. The company has been in constant disarray since the day I hired on. For all the talk about "culture" and "values" since I got hired on, they... —  read more 

Every time they’ve had a layoff they end up with more managers and less doers. The level of incompetence is staggering. Get out as soon as you can. The ship is on fire, it’s sinking, and the fuel tank is on the verge of explosion. There is life after... —  read more 

What's new on possible February cuts?

Since I started working here three years ago my work has more than doubled - at no extra pay of course. The management just keeps piling up more on my already full plate. It's not enough that people who leave are not replaced - they're adding to the... —  read more 

Well the only CR I knew there was good ole Chip Reamer and he did dress up kinda purty for Brad . Whatever it’s all done know, they even screwed us on our severance packages. A lot of good it does to be fully vested then they busy you out the door... —  read more 

No one is posting anything is everyone just to disgusted to talk about it anymore. Ya I would be to. It’s a dead end road, but it’s a job right. Just waiting it out until I can get hired on and get the f$&( out of this sh?(( hole .

Has anyone heard anything about the next round?

Shouldn’t be a surprise but rumor is Whiting hired outside help for layoffs again.

Holly should be giving a thank you speech to everyone for making him a lot of money. He can sit there and say “ ohh well I tried “ thanks as he sits there with that sh– eating grin. Now everyone can sit back and wait for all the changes, good luck... —  read more

Well they blamed Mr. Volker saying he was the reason the ship was sinking. I guess that theory was debunked, now the high and mighty Holly really knocked a hole in the side of the ship. In fact looks like he removed the whole floor, to many hired... —  read more

Anybody else scared they'll have major layoffs right now when everybody is furloughing employees to make sure it flies under the radar?

Word on the street in the Denver O&G community is Whiting is doing everything possible to set themselves up for a buyout. OXY has apparently been sniffing around so we shall see. All I will say is Whiting folks better save away those over... —  read more 

With the stock price now at $0.75/share I have seen rumors of more layoffs by May 2020. Anyone have any insight to share?

I know this is the only way I have to make a living w salary this good. However, I can’t stop hoping that this thing finally implodes. Just rip off this rotten old band aid and let me bleed out...

Leadership is poised to take this company to the next level!

Let that sink in.

Our current CEO is a joke. How long before stockholders realize he's an incompetent one trick pony?

Looks like a few VPs were disappeared from the website....were they caught up in the layoffs or was this another house cleaning maneuver? Anyone have the scoop?

Whiting is going bankrupt. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. What Holly is doing is promoting young, ambitious mangers, as a way to make loyal friends. Once Whiting shuts down, the young, ambitious managers will be hired elsewhere. Old... —  read more 

It's been quiet for the past week or so, which left me wondering if layoffs at Whiting are done for good? Okay, let me rephrase that: if this round of layoffs is truly over? I know we'll be looking at more cuts down the line sometime, but can we... —  read more
