Seriously, why cut 200 people and then say that's it, FOR NOW? Leave the rest of us worrying and wondering when the ax is going to fall once again. What's the point? Just get it over with so we can stop stressing and focus on our work once again!... — read more

I imagine that most of you noticed in the company statement regarding the layoffs of 200 employees that the statement has been worded in a rather diplomatic tone, using word like: for now, layoffs would continue throughout the year, layoffs will be... — read more 

Somebody said execs want attrition and are encouraging it - okay, I can see why that's a good thing for them, less money to pay out. But why would anybody leave voluntarily amid ongoing layoffs when severance is a realistic option? Even those who... — read more

New week “New Devon.” How’s everyone feeling about “New Devon” after last week?

Can something like this happen to us?

Give Devon a dollar, they make you a penny. Pretty much everyone else is better at ROI / capital. In O&G, if you're not making 10% ROIC, you're a loser. Unless oil breaks $65, Devon's best bet is selling off the DB acreage, lord knows that the only... — read more 

Doesn't seem to be much going on as far as layoffs are concerned...

Are we done with layoffs, at least for today?

Is it just my imagination or is this wave of layoffs smaller than we expected? We know HR and Recruiting are being hit, but I haven't heard anything else in the office or read anything else here. Are any other departments and locations being hit... — read more 

Does anyone know what exit packages are being offered for those that volunteer to leave?

It is so obvious there is no future for anybody at Devon. Nobody is safe. The only way those on top know how to solve a problem is with more layoffs. Never mind that that didn't help at all any of the previous times, the strategy stays the same. Cut... — read more 

Lots of people are thinking JH ithe issue! Your thoughts?

How does management actually come up with their list of who they are laying off? Do mid-level managers have a say? Age? Salary? Performance? All the above? Asking for a friend.

IMHO, DVN should have an Ops test given to each employee covering basic oilfield operations and fundamentals. Anyone scoring below 75% should be released from duty. That should get us down to the desired headcount in OKC. No doubt DVN has some... — read more 

DEVON ENERGY TO SELL CANADIAN OILFIELD ASSETS. How is Canada doing? What's it like up there?

Does anybody have info or can you at least guess how many folks were cut in February so far? Also, I would like to get some opinions regarding what could be the final number of cut people when February ends? I know it's hard to determine, but any... — read more 

Help a Devon newcomer out, please. What happened for the last several years in March?

Remember when Devon had guts, and the stock price was $120? It was not so long ago, either. Clearly the rank and file are responsible for this plunge (sarcasm alert).

Purge 3.0

“If you aren’t replacing your assets, you’re liquidating.” So, this “new” plan revealed yesterday is supposed to increase shareholder value. Shedding Canadian assets may make sense, but taking the Barnett cash cow to market and leaving it there if no... — read more

End of feb layoffs across the board Topheavy strategy not working

No one will miss you except Microsoft. You single handedly wasted enough time and money to successfully acquire a successful company.

With oil prices and stock prices dropping look for move layoff in the fall.

f-you devon

They will get the company sold or at least get rid of the ceo and his crew and lots of others.

February will be short more than just days by golly. Good luck to the newly unemployed!

They're opening up food banks, allowing rent, mortgage and utility bills to be put on hold. Only for furloughed government workers who will RECEIVE BACK PAY!!!! No public sympathy or help for private sector employees LAID OFF in droves!!

Rumor is DVN has all of its Delaware Basin assets up for sale ?
