Going Back is not an option.

Just remember you were deemed not to be someone that was good for Devon's long term strategy. Going back is not an option even if oil and gas recovers. You're on your own now and the big paycheck is gone. Those of us still here know we are the lucky... — read more

JOB POSTING

Heard AEP is hiring a new CEO.... Comes with a slightly damaged Tahoe.

Job Postings...

I have noticed that for the first time in a very long time, there are no OKC postings on the Devon careers web page. Even during the recession from 2008-2010 there were always a lot of postings. I think that this illustrates exactly what type of... — read more

petroleum geologist
