Now we are officially reopen texas. Are we going back too?

I find it rather sickening that the company just now decides as part of Project Descend to ensure "diversity" and "women in higher positions." If you were an ethical company, you would make the right hiring decisions all along, regardless of gender... — read more 

I have been let go in mid March and my thoughts are still with the co workers that I enjoyed working with excluding the dead weights. Is Apache doing additional layoffs among their office employees with today's price crash to $2/barrel?

It's silly and highly inefficient that management doesn't let employees borrow hardware like monitors, docking stations, computer accessories, etc etc. We all know with all the layoffs they have plenty of equipment just getting depreciated and... — read more 

Here is a new low. I am one of the few still left hanging on and I feel ashamed, other than the fact that I have a family and NEED this job. Several employees that I knew and respected were let go today. I understand cost cutting, but holy s***... — read more

Total and Apache announce second major discovery in offshore Surinam. Way to go! Just what the world needs right now, more crude oil on the market. Of course it will take a while, and who knows, maybe Iran and Saudi Arabia will blow up each other in... — read more 

Does anyone know when severance will be paid out for anyone let go in March?

How thin can our organizations get? IT and ACCT next?

Yeah its bad trying to get into the Texas unemployment site. A buddy of my gave me a good tip albeit inconvenient but works. In case anyone needs to, utilize the service in the late hours when most people are sleeping. I have not had issue doing... — read more 

I was just reading CEO statement on the Houston Chronicle that layoffs “will continue through May 18th”. Idk that.

Are they the Apache standard week for each year of service including Unused vacation?

For those were laid off, if anyone would like to use this section as means of possibly posting job listings or people or agency's or places for those that are looking for work. Oil/Gas taking a hit but perhaps people reading the site might be... — read more 

For those that were laid off, be curious to see if you like share your feedback. Well. No surprise for me since all this happened. Was laid off officially last week. And I am so GLAD it happened! It was not a good experience and people were just... — read more 

Downgraded to “junk” today. Way to go Execs.

Is anybody left?

I know you read these posts otherwise half of them wouldn't get deleted. Apache has lost so many incredibly talented and loyal people, it's time to look in the mirror. Oxy CEO Vicki Hollub's salary will be slashed by 81 percent, while the other... — read more

That is the only person with job security.

Saudis and Russians want to put US shale, oil and gas out of business. They are taking the "loss leader" approach right now, and can survive for 4-6 months with oil at $22 or less. They're betting that US companies will go out of business in 3-4... — read more 

For Apache to terminate employees while they are quarantined at home is unbelievable. We are experiencing a mass pandemic and they have the audacity to layoff workers especially when they claim to have money to survive! Those at the top of the... — read more 

Can you imagine how many jobs would be saved if the CEO and VPs took pay cuts like a lot of upper management are taking at other companies at this difficult time. You cannot say people are your greatest asset when you offer them positions in the... — read more 

Apache cutting large amount of Midland personnel. 100 or so. Gone.

JC and your toadies. Read here about a dedicated CEO. 14th floor of Apache was grossly overpaid before all this and has taken enough. How about at least a 50% reduction in the cost of the 14th floor? Boeing says its CEO and its chairman will... — read more 

So will people in leadership roles be taking our jobs? if you step down by choice, you should be gone, if you are forced to step down, you should get a pay cut or be gone... Chances are you got your position by back stabbing or being a SNAKE. ... — read more

Raises hand

I know Apaches are disgruntled, and often with good reason, but I still had some cool times and bonded with some really good people there. Looks like a lot of us may not make it back in after this quarantine. I wish the best of luck to all of... — read more 

If not, when is that gonna happen?

Just think of how things would have played out if Apache would have merged with Anadarko back in 2015 when it was rejected. Great move by this CEO to protect his own a** and his lap dogs. Would have had a lot of great DWB acreage!
