It looks like today is not the day after all. Everything is quiet, we'd probably know if today was it by now. I'm not sure how many more of these false alarms I can take. This is starting to affect my health. I am starting to hate this management and... — read more 

You guys hear anything about layoffs? I think it might really be happening this time.

The most important of our values, integrity, defines the core of every relationship we have. Whether inside the company or outside the company, integrity establishes the trust that is critical to the relationships that make our values work. Embracing... — read more 

Husband just left for work and I couldn't tell who was more nervous, him or me. He seems convinced today is the day even if he couldn't tell me why he was so certain. Judging by posts here he might have been right but I still can't see why people are... — read more 

My stuff is boxed up and I've take most of it home. I'm hoping I won the Devon Lottery. Good luck to those left behind I can't say if you]re lucky or have the worst of luck.

Come what may this week, I feel blessed to have worked at Devon. I enjoy the people I work with and the management team has always been more than fair to me. Oh, I didn't like every person or every decision, but what's new? On the whole, I'm proud to... — read more

Looks like Wednesday or Thursday we get a fly in visit from OKC gulp.

Still waiting, no email yet and no specific date. Anyone know any dates of when this is going down?

Anyone know if the contract workers are worked into the 300? Or are they considered a separate entity because we dont pay the benefits or employment taxes amd such?

The entire industry is in shambles. Just look at the pages of other companies on this board. People have the exact same problems as we do at Devon. So my question is, where do we go from here if we are among the 300 who are slated to be laid off?... — read more 

Why doesn’t the oil&gas industry have a union that represents the workers? I’m younger so I’m not aware if this was attempted at some point before my time.

The Devon you loved will be gone the day you are given your walking papers. It wont be Devon you miss but all the smart people. There is something special about working with them you may never find again.

The worst part of 300 people laid off is there go the only salaries in the state large enough to pay for teacher raises...dooh! Maybe the Oklahoma Educators Association will call a walkout on your behalf...

What's the latest on possible notification days? Is it happening next week? I know some people were saying that we will not know before two weeks from now, but I think it was mostly guessing based on how layoffs took place previously. Whose to say... — read more 

There laying off 300 people in a little town called Artesia. This town is little. Why can’t they cut pay all across the company and save jobs?

This management team needs to learn from Continental.

Getting harder and harder to get up and come to work and be productive. We were told 04/03/18 that it would be quickly. More likely before May 2nd earnings call. Then a week later on 04/10/2018, the video that said month to month and a half. Good... — read more

I said it before, I'll say it again: I'm so f*g ready for this to be over. What in the world is the point of announcing layoffs and then dragging it on for so long without notifying affected folks? Are they intentionally trying to kill all morale at... — read more
