Devon is once again hiring. WTF

Advice on getting laid off?
I'm fairly new to Devon, coming from a pretty small company. Although Devon pays better, I miss my old company and the people. This job is not anything like I was told. After hearing what people got during the layoffs, I was hoping for the same so I... — read more
You are a number.....
I was the BEST on my team. No doubt. I carried them on my back. Outstanding performance reviews too. I was let go. Why? MONEY. I was the cheapest to buy out. I saw the most effective people in my department leave. Devon hired the best people, but... — read more

It's funny how quick things change.
I used to LOVE my job, and I enjoyed every aspect of Devon. Then came "the announcement" and things changed instantaneously. People became paranoid, people were were scared, and everyone assumed they were "on the list" Then came the big day and a... — read more
Bonus anyone?
Does Devon provide huge bonus for everyone that Survive the layoffs like Chesapeake?

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
soo, next round...
Sooo, are we all assuming June is the next round?! I've got a bunch of supervisors, PM's, and BA's sitting on their hands around me. I can't imagine we can continue to carry their dead weight and bloated salaries....
Has anyone gotten their boxes from Devon?
It has been over three weeks. Has anyone gotten their stuff from Devon yet? If so was everything there?
What is the Job Market Like
To all the former Devon colleagues, how is the job market in Oklahoma City? Are you finding work and comparable salaries? It would be nice to hear how everyone is progressing. Many of us may follow in June so it would be nice to hear how you are... — read more
Is it over or just a climb to a rapid crash? I think BIG CRASH!
On Tuesday, the U.S. benchmark for crude oil, West Texas Intermediate, settled at $36.50, while the global benchmark, Brent Crude, settled at $39.65. However, the impact of low prices has been felt by employees over the last two months. Devon Energy... — read more
As as always - Things are getting worse at a faster pace.
-Too many cooks in the kitchen. -Too much effort not going toward the bottom line. -Too fat with management that is never aligned. -Too many rogue silos. -Preach industry leadership but play follow the leaders (ex. Big Fracs). -Tendency to... — read more
Next layoff dates
The next round of lay offs is scheduled for June 22 and 23rd. Take a breath until then.
Great places to work?
Did we not make the list this year?
Rebalance of roles
Key to the reorganization 80 supervisor and director rolls are being eliminated. Some more layoffs and demotions in the works.
Managers are to blame
They sold their souls to the devil Managers are out for themselves only I haven't met one manager in my career with Devon that leads me to believe these people have any integrity Devon Attrubutes are only measured at goal time the rest of the 360... — read more
Influx of Interns
There will be no new hiring only a huge influx of interns in May. Cheap labor to do the clean up work and then layoffs of the FTEs in June. You will see a new contractors here and there but that is about it. Devon is more risk adverse now. It is a... — 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
We are still waiting for more cuts.
The simple fact that those of us still employed by Devon are still checking this site regularly pretty much says it all. We all believe there are more cuts in the future. I am thinking the ones that have already cut maybe the lucky ones. I still feel... — read more
House Hunting - Anybody selling?
I am so sorry that Devon is downsizing... that is really hard. Hopefully those affected will find suitable employment ASAP! Moving is tough... believe me, I know. We moved here in July and were promised low housing prices with a bit of land attached... — read more

petroleum geologist
I was a petroleum geologist. No real transferable skills (I can't do the same job in another industry like I.T. H.R. etc.) That was my fault for selecting geology as a major. Also Devon moved my family here a few months ago. Ugh, So yes, it still... — read more
Halliburton is next on line
5K - 20K to let go. Get ready.
It's been a week since "Black Thursday".
How's everybody doing? For us folks that were cut last week, is everyone hanging in there? Starting to feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel?
2016 should be a great year
Glad I got laid off early last year when oil started to tank. I was able to take advantage of job opportunities that are no longer available. Devon was a joke anyway, after they bought out the people I worked for, it turned into a clown show run by... — read more

Still hating Devon more with each day.
It is not so much the layoff, it just not understanding how they picked and why the 1000 where devalued. I think this hurts our future employment chances. When they say they are keeping those best for Devon, doesn't that imply we are useless? If they... — read more
