Two - Three weeks away from performance review results. Anyone hearing any news through the departments? Usually there are rumbles around this time.
2019 almost $20.20
Looking back on 2018. The rise and fall of WTI and stock. The layoff, mass exodus of the best and brightest, random Sandusky speeches, and prompt exits of SVP’s seem to be the new norm. The short sided $20.20 vision was almost a success a year and a... — read more
Not knowing, Bad
It's not what is going to happen that is so bad, "It's not knowing what's going to happen". As an open plea to HR, legal and management, please move swiftly and fairly! Don't feel by lying and stringing us along you are making things better. Finally... — read more
Vision $20.20: We're almost there!
We're close to achieving our Vision $20.20 two years early! So continue taking those 90-minute Well breaks, Don't forget to arrive at 9ish and leave at 4ish, and above all, make sure you take EVERY Friday off-or if you must make a token showing on... — read more
Devon MF’in Energy
Guys & Gals lets make this short and sweet. We are entitled, Arrogant, id--ts on the same sinking ship. Our “contractors” deserve a lot more credit without them we would literally all be drowning. Sandusky needs to go down faster than our stock is... — read more
What's the name of that Petty song again?
Didn't Tom Petty write a song once about Devon's performance? Freefallin'? Vision $20.20 is certainly within our grasp now. Good thing the palatial windows on 46 are sealed shut, unless, of course, this is part of some grand super-secret master plan... — read more
More layoffs at Devon in early 2019
Yes there are credible resources that early 2019 there is another round of layoffs. That is the sole intent for the optimization and automation robots. Natural attrition, forced attrition, and non replacement of employees as they leave. Even HR... — read more
Future bloodbath schedule?
I have a house for sale in Yukon and my realtor is hinting I should drop the price before the spring blood letting begins. Are there really hints that Devon is going to downsize again?
2018 bonus?
Does anyone know what the 2018 bonuses will look like?
Haircut boy
Slick back haircut boy is gone, who is next? He was a good speaker but like most 40-somethings In management, didn’t know much.
KL
One of the very few good ones at that level. The die is cast. WH is the CEO in waiting. Sandusky need only complete his final round of layoffs, and he’ll get his golden parachute. This is not a good place to work. And it’s going to get worse.
It's all about dividend
The only people being tricked are the shareholders. I'd say Devon is a multiple trick pony. Pathetic that with the kind of buybacks being performed along with the production increases being seen that the stock continues to dwell at the bottom of the... — read more
Time for a Merger or Acquisition?
We have been trying this vision 2020 thing for some time now and don't have much to show. Unfortunately it seems that wall street misinterpreted it to be a vision for a $20.20 share price and so with that in mind we are rapidly reaching our goal... — read more
Smell the coffee
I don’t get why people don’t read between the lines... Devon is slashing assets to sell the company, that’s the 2020 vision. Executives and managers are being retained to get a nice golden parachute when it’s all said and done. The best way out of... — read more
Cost savings
Who forgot to pay the AC bill??
Your move
You going to layoff or terminate us employees who participate in the medical can--bis program and have their license? Product will be legal according to the State this weekend if we grew it ourselves. We have done everything according to the State... — read more
Chevron is buying Devon?
Who else has heard this rumour? Is there any validity behind it?
More people jumping ship!
The ship is going down .... who else is jumping!?
E&P recovers
All E&P companies recover from last week, with the exception of Devon which is down yet again. Sad what has happened here.
More layoffs at Devon
Devon is on the verge of bankruptcy and laying off again the last few days Any more info on Devon layoffs last week? Are we going to see any more this week?
Devon Canada - Gas
Sounds like gas assets being shut in and layoffs shortly. Continue on with picking people off and keeping everyone on edge. When will heavy oil be sold? Not soon enough...feet are getting wet on this aimless, sinking ship
Honest opinions on AP and automation
Anyone have honest thoughts or opinions on the AP automation progress? Is it really a good thing or is it just a way to get the counts down just in time for layoffs?
How???
How has the axe not fallen on Sandusky yet????
Interesting ruling
I would love to be a fly on the wall when our legal team is discussing the recent federal judge ruling in Connecticut on medical weed. The reality of our future lawsuits are starting reveal themselves if we continue our stance.
Never give up hope
Casting call This will be an immediate casting call for the American Ninja Safety Warrior tryouts to be hosted later this fall inside Wide-track Coliseum. There are some requirements contestants must meet before participating and all contestants will... — read more
Devon Really?
Why can our stock not rise above .65% per day after a loss of 3.5% the prior day, wash/rinse/repeat. . All other oil and gas companies are up 6-7%. Continental, Marathon, etc. blowing Devon away. No confidence in the leadership, Wall Street not... — read more
HR question
Anybody here had any dealings with the HR? Should I approach them with an issue about my manager or not?
Delaware Basin Properties sold- Carrizo is taking over in Q4
These kind of news always gets me p-ss-d. It’s like they are purposely chopping our company assets and just handing them out to the competition, while at the same time we are shrinking.If they keep selling our property at this rate, soon enough there... — read more
Strategery
DH and gang are allowing the slow bleed to continue. Strategically removing the need to layoff anymore employees... that G&A number they planned at beginning of the year will be hit soon enough...
Town Hall
As part of my sovereign duty to you, the workers of Devon. I would like to use my skills for everyone in the meeting to know when DH is fibbing. Yes this will be much like the political fact finding articles that are given say “One Pinocchio, Two... — read more
Dave Hager...comedy genius
I sure hope Dave opens his act tomorrow with, "there seems to be a whole open section over here for everyone coming in." I love that joke. It's a good one to get the crowd going. I also hope he introduces his new material on biases and how they... — read more
Devon stock moving up again, good news?
I was getting really nervous watching our stock slide down once again for nearly a month, but that trend seems to be over and it is going up once again. I personally thinks this is really good news when it comes to layoffs. Strong stock means fewer... — read more
Perfect weekend
I got my medical card in the mail yesterday and I’m headed to Colorado this morning. This weekend could not have turned out better. Happy Labor Day weekend everyone. This guy will be much more happy on Tuesday back at the glass house.
Townhall
Anyone want to take the odds of 5:1 DH will drop another comment of less people in the room or 100:1 DH will attempt to be transparent and fail miserably about G&A plans?
Devon Tower has Creepy Look.
Dread coming to work. The whole tower creates an illusion of wealth and success. But inside...a totally different thing. I feel afraid to even make a personal phone call.
Cannot Wait to Leave Oklahoma
I am hoping the day comes when I am offered a severance package. To think I made the stupid decision to move to this God forsaken state makes me scream. My home is up for sale, so I am getting ready to move home to Alabama.
Which floor has the fewest people?
With so many gone, I have wondered which floor has the fewest employees?
When JWN passed away.......
