There are are a bunch of folks that have been dreaming of a farewell severance. Do you think they will layoff those near retirement or save the money and hope they leave of their own accord?

Do you still have the ability to file for unemployment compensation if you sign and take the severance package?

The official thread

Are we supposed to get 60 days from a written notice of layoff? If so I do not think we have received this yet...

Any ideas as to when ? Will it all be done at once or will it run till the end of Q1 ? I think they should just pull the band-aid and be done with it.

Do they call you to your manager's office and tell you? Is HR present? What's the story they give you? Do you have to leave immediately? Anybody has an idea about how they execute layoffs?

Who is deciding who is getting laid off and how? What are they basing their decisions on? Does HR have 100% control over this or are they considering input from managers/VPs?

1429 after a few more were added today from HR (they obviously couldn't put them on the official list since we in HR have access to the list). A big chunk will be let go next Tuesday, with another major round next Thursday. Sorry to be the bearer of... — read more 

My opinion, I think it's best for the areas that are up for sale.. East Texas, Midland Basin, Mississipian areas.. Hopefully someone will buy that is willing to drill and recomplete some of these wells in these areas.

Stop worrying about layoffs, and start focusing on how you can add value to the company. My favorite Devon core value is "hire the best people" I started working here last year, I love my job, and the people I work with. We are the best, and will... — read more 

Thanks for the heads up Uncle Dave, however, iI feel like I am just waiting for the axe to fall. When will we know something? Am I supposed to sit here in silence and wait until I either get ejected or the end of the first quarter? Double you tee f... — read more 

I just bought 150 DVN put contracts expiring 1/29 at 19.50 strike. I guess you could say I'm not optimistic.

Does anybody know if DO is getting cut? If so, what business units?

The world is complicated. The crossroads that we are at today was the culmination of a series of mainly global events set into motion quite some time ago, none of which we have any control over. If we are being honest with ourselves, we know and... — read more 

Way too many slap sticks in Those groups. Hard to get anything from them that makes sense. Sometimes the geo's just fill they make stuff up and look at their management way too many brown noisers. Monkey could do managements job

Obviously no one cares about all you losers who are getting canned, just whether the bar at the top of the building will stay open.

WTF peloton......eat a bag of dicks. Wellview is just a polished turd anyway. I think I could replicate it in MSAccess in a week with 1 Indian, 1 Ukrainian, and 1 North Korean developer

Any talk that the Devon coffee shop will close? I love that place.

Going to work everyday is about as demoralizing as going to a funeral

How many employees do we have? 6k? So, 1.5k cut would eliminate 25% - that would be the largest one time O&G layoff ever (in the history of the industry - percentagewise and affecting Fortune 500 companies)
