Any word up there? How is morale?
Hi Scott
Whats happening, dude?
My ceo can beat up your ceo!!!!
My CEO is better than your CEO!!!! He drives a Raptor, Wrestles alligators, bare knuckle fist fights and best of all pays out bonuses when he can't pay his bills. Love you Doug-e-fresh. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

Let me know if you want to give it a shot, I can coach to bring in some decent cash if you are interested. I am sorry for those who get cut. Nothing can be done now, just look up and move on. Drop an email in the response.
We're all on here anyway, let's at least get to laugh a little.
Name of a movie title to describe how you are feeling right now
Can someone confirmed MSanders and SKrueger got shoveled out of Devon yesterday?
Those 2 guys must jump off the ship before it sunk. They are part of the causes of this sunken ship.
I don't feel well this morning
I may have the kneezles, tolio or a slight case of small cocks or noseola. I think I'll call in sick.

WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE SALUTE YOU!
This too shall pass. I was laid off last April 21st from Devon.
If you are laid off today, you will find the next phase of your career elsewhere. It is the gap between now and your next assignment that you need to work as if it was your job. Don't give too much attention to the myriad of reasons why you won't... — read more
Today is the day.
Trust in God. There is a plan there for all of us. More likely than not 613 (93 upper laid off yesterday) of us will not be here tomorrow. Good luck to all.

What about, instead of drilling for oil, maybe try drilling for social justice instead, you cisgender transphobes.
DM Scott Quinlam must leave, throw him out the door like kicking a rashed dog
Rockies: Scott Quinlam, wasted baldy head gone? He is Mr Low Know Nothing. I would not put him as a tech in Rockies.
Management reserved all the rooms at the Colcord.
Looks like they are giving select people a second chance it they can please the HR staff. Take viagra and bring your cleanest toy. Don't forget the lube and don't bother to shower, they don't.

Looking for mindless a**kissers.
Consolidating the sh!t.
I used to work for Devon as a geoscientist but left a few years ago. It seems they are firing the popular, well liked geo managers and keeping the ones that are not hated. I guess back stabbing and ass kissing really is the only way to the top.
Over 50 layoffs - age discrimination - potential legal issues
I noticed that most people I know who were let go today were over 50, do you think that there is a potential legal situation here? I am sure there are many attorneys who would take a case like this on a contingency basis. I really have no horse in... — read more
Warn act
Can someone explain the warn act I understand why they do it but does it change severance at all
Less than 100 today. So 600+ tomorrow?
Is this what everyone else has heard?
Tomorrow's A Big Day @ Devon Energy Corp. HQ
Tomorrow at Devon HQ, over 600 people are expected to get let go.
Land?
What went down? Heard 100+ tomorrow from a manager today.
I got an idea!!!
Let's start a company based on people first and integrity. Then we'll grow it with fantastic people that buy into this company and give their heart and soul because of John and Larry's personal connection and charisma. Then we'll run into the ground... — read more
Watch out for Recruiters and the Media
Please be aware of the recruitment agencies, media and financial agencies that want to try and gain new business from the recent layoffs around OKC. I was with a large Oklahoma City company that closed and we they heard about the closure they were... — read more
Tomorrow
Tomorrow will be brutal. Today was only the appetizer. Now that the managers their fate do you think they know who on their teams will be axed?
Why Good Employees Leave?
WHY GOOD EMPLOYEES LEAVE? BY DAVID W. RICHARD A study came up with this surprising finding: If you're losing good people, look to their immediate supervisor. More than any other single reason, he is the reason people stay and thrive in an... — read more

Hip hip hurray!!
Just a phase bro!
Working at Devon was just one season in your life, but there are many more beautiful seasons ahead of you and the chances are that you will see your best season outside the walls of the Devon Tower. Just remember:... — read more
Being laid off sucks
Stories suck. Being laid off sucks. Knowing you worked your ass off for what seems to be nothing, sucks. Yet I know it's the company who has to survive. Laying off people isn't what they want. It isn't what they enjoy doing. So fighting back, for... — read more
As you move up the ladder, remember the following phrases
Failure is not an option. I'm always open to feedback. It is what it is. It just wasn't meant to be. Let's not reinvent the wheel. Perception is reality. That's probably not what you want to hear. There is no I in team. We'll do it now and apologize... — read more
Was that it??
The management cuts seemed very lite on our floor, making me think they are going to take a major chunk of that 700 out on the lower peeps. I haven't seen or heard a number today but id doubt it was even more than 100. Thoughts?
What about Bloforth?
Did she choked to death did they throw out of the building did she get promoted? Cockroaches always survive even in nuclear events and oil industry implosions.
Parking..
Now that the excess fat has been trimmed from our company, does this mean I get to park in the new garage? I would love to have a closer spot.
Who is to blame?
Here in Oklahoma O&G has always been a strong industry with minor downturns over the past 40 years. The issue is when things are going well (and the companies are making record profits) they tend to increase hiring, business development and overall... — read more
