This is the only company I’ve worked for where slackers are more valued than employees who give their best. The harder I worked, the harder it became because I kept getting even more work along the way, while the hardest part for the slackers was... — read more 

Morale is so low. Micromanagers need to GO. People are leaving your groups for a reason. Apache used to be a Fun place to work. Even with lots to do. Now, nobody wants to even think about working here. Too many good people retired and these... — read more 

Is anyone paying attention to the multi billion dollar APA P&A liability looming in "Fieldwood 1" which is being operated by the same company who filed bankruptcy twice in 2 years and now calls themselves QuarterNorth Energy?

Of course everyone is more or less on the edge after constant layoffs in the last two years. People can't focus on work because they are worried about what will happen tomorrow. What I expected from leadership was to at least find some way to... — read more 

Board, do your job.

I have so far tried to develop an effective relationship with my bosses, until I got my fifth boss. Then I gave up. It’s not worth making much of an investment because I knew that one too would be replaced quickly. How can anyone get what they need... — read more 

Hmmmm. Is there something coming????

Apache has turned into a soulless company driven by nothing else but the almighty dollar. They couldn't care less about any of us. If some numbers cruncher decides that any of us make too much, we're gone. It doesn't matter how long we've been here... — read more 

Round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows!

I know layoffs are coming, we all do, so that's not what I'm asking. I'm wondering if anybody has any info on when, how many, what will be hit... Basically, any details other than "the winter is coming" kind of foreshadowing. I'm tired of worrying... — read more 

A while ago it was worrying because people were leaving all the time. All my great colleagues have found their way out. Well, now all of a sudden I don't hear the news that anyone has left. Either the departures have slowed down a bit or there is... — read more 

They can engineers, geologists and professional staff, yet keep an assistant for each Exec on 14? This is a 1500 person $19/share company. The execs at Apache are SR Managers at more prestigious companies. How do they justify this? Someone needs to... — read more 

Just wow. I'm pro choice and vaccinated but Sheesh. How will Apache handle?

So this board tends to get all hyped up and concerned about Covid than forgets about the topic for days & weeks at a time. I guess now that everyone is afraid of being RIF'd Covid takes a back seat.

Any positive feedback?

More assets sales. Office closures, layoffs, nothing positive it seems. But why are we hiring Expert level geo positions?

I want to love my job once again. I truly do. But frankly, the company is making it harder and harder. I'm at the point where it's really hard to imagine that things could be any worse anywhere else, and they certainly could be better. I've been here... — read more 

So how many days a week are y’all choosing to be in the office on this new survey we were sent? I was debating between 1 and 2 but ultimately ended up choosing just 1.

I wish there was more communication about Covid cases at work. Most of the people are still going to the office. So we, the more concerned ones look bad. I know more people inside and outside work that have had Covid lately. Way more cases than last... — read more 

Some really good, some not. Regardless, is anyone noticing on 14?

So after retirements and layoffs. Is the plan to gut all the seasoned employees? Everyone seems new, entire new departments on a whim.....

Execs appear to be looking at organization as a whole and realizing what the market has for years - Apache is not a sustainable company. Apache’s assets are not great, inventory is poor, debt is too high, and the entire future of the company is... — read more 

How do they expect someone to be concentrated and do their job as best they can, if at the same time listening to how there are people infected with the virus in the office? The situation worries me a lot, I take this virus very seriously and it... — read more 

All these new positions for hire...... what's that about. What change is coming? Must be nice to have budget to hire people......

Do we know anything new about potential RIFs sometime in near future?

Care to comment?

So two months back in the office now… everybody/anybody happy besides the execs who manipulated the employee surveys to make it seem like a lot of us wanted to be back in the office? I haven’t had a single in person meeting since going back and... — read more 

I noticed a thread about HR got unposted, and rightfully so. It was nothing more than celebrity mean tweets. But… There is no doubt BJ is woefully unqualified for the job. She, literally, has no strategic or original thinking. Sadly, her best... — read more 

What happened with the investor lawsuit?? Any news?

How many people who got laid off ended up agreeing to a lower pay in new companies? Here I saw that someone eventually agreed to half the pay because it was the only offer he got for a whole year after the layoff. I'd love to find a new job... — read more 

Didn't Noble start selling everything before their buyout? Not that anyone wants APA US assets. Alpine oil? Hahahahahahahaha. What's left to sell? Delaware Basin? So called Legacy? I.e. Junk. S Midland Basin? UK? Hmmmmmm

Seems like there’s no focus, everyone’s chasing some pet project or pointless buzzword these days

This is a first for me and I’m not sure how to handle it. Lately I’ve been given unreasonable workloads while my usual responsibilities have been removed. Even worse, the deadlines assigned to these tasks are very difficult to achieve. I’m starting... — read more 

Dear Apache Leadership, The biggest concern you should have is when your most passionate employees become quiet. Signed, We're growing in numbers

Can someone shed some light on what happened to ME?

Why JC didn’t make the list? His $14MM compensation is higher than the last one on the list.

I don't understand why Apache puts people in positions that absolutely exceed their qualifications? That has always been the case, however, it seems to me that it has never been easier to get a job or get into a position without the essential... — read more 

I know it’s ugly, but I’m a little envious of those who leave here. On the other hand, I am also happy for everyone who is leaving, because there is no future here. I have been trying unsuccessfully to find a new job for a long time, but... — read more
