Am I the only one? It started as what seemed to be harmless flirtation, then changed to unwanted touching. Now I am caught in a situation that the other party will say I reciprocated. I'm in a situation now where I will be accused and this scares me... — read more
Cryin over you! Project Managers are paper pushers. Zero Value!
Cry me a river. The drillers, production engineers and geophysicist are the ones the make the difference PM's only check the boxes and add cost and absolutely no Value. I don't know what you have been smoking, but it is messing with you mind!
PMs are saving us all
At least we have good PMs to help dig us out of this mess. If you see one around campus pat him/her on the back and let them know how much you appreciate their long hard hours and sacrifice. These are the "rock stars" that deserve more praise! We... — read more

Project Managers Eat ShlT
Not one of them at Devon knows what they are doing. It is all a matter of sucking up to Dickey and keeping him happy so you don't loose you job.
Project Managers Rule!!
Without us all of you would be lost and wouldn't know it. We ARE the light at the end of a long dark tunnel. We have the answers, you only need to seek our supreme guidance. Why else do you think they pay me 155k a year. I gotta know something... — read more
