If CHK is the example are there meeting rooms or blocks of time that a reserved out?
If I make through this week?
The risk of layoff will have passed? I can start the thought experiment of, "when oil is back to 100/barrel, how big of a raise will I need to keep me from jumping ship to another company?" Halloween could be really fun this year.
HA HA HA HA
Mighty my Devon laying people off. Better apply to AEP while there are still opening.
It's just now sinking in. Anybody else let go?
Yeah, they let me go end of last week. Haven't had the nerve to contact my co workers to see if they were too. It really sucks that there no announcement like with the other companies. Management are some cold mofos to just do it a few at a time... — read more
Gotta give it to Devon management ....
They can keep our layoffs on the down low and out of the media!
Layoff week
Finally we are going to get some cost relief this week. I hope we she'd quick and swift.
Does anyone have an updated headcount?
It feels like there are less people at Devon. But of course Devon never lays people. The were 2 people let go in our department in the last few months, but I think it was performance based.
Devon is in better shape than most.
For years Devon has been putting up with Wall Street wanting to know what the plans were for the big pile of cash the company seemed to just keep in storage. Now that times are tough it seems Devon has the ability to weather the storm a little... — read more
$36/share for Devon? Holy shit - this will be bad
Devon cannot survive this - very few oil companies can. Stocks are dropping like crazy all over this industry, every company is suffering. Devon WILL have to do something and the fastest, quickest thing they can do is whack employees. I hope you all... — read more

CHK Layoffs
Alright folks. Chesapeake is getting hit hard right now. Do we follow suit?
The Blood Moon has come now the end of the Earth and Mankind
When the earthquakes start and the attacks start your jobs at Devon won't matter. It's the end of days; prepare yourselves.
Oct 8th will be open dialog for downsizing with the heads of multiple departments.
An offsite is planned.
HR is acting more strange than normal. I think they know something.
just spooky quiet. But it is a full moon!
When Devon need to downsize they are considering taking a page from the Kimray playbook.
Look for Devon to offer early buy outs. This a great way to downsize and keep morale up. Let those that are close to retirement get out gracefully. This is win - win. I hope they come through with what they are discussing. What they did with IT... — read more
Inside scoop - Tuesday (9/29) w

No Truth to anything here
Everything posted here is speculation. No Truth.

Devon Used to Be a Great Company
What went wrong peeps? It's so sad to read these comments...

Just got a mandatory meeting request from HR, and so did others on my floor. It was nice knowing you.
100s more to be cut in the weeks ahead. Just wait and see.
Our mammoth tower wil be half empty
So I was a day late.
It happened today 😳26 out the door
Severance
I was laid off this year from Devon, and for being there a pretty short period, I was given 3 months of severance, plus bonuses, and they vested all my stock. Honestly easy enough to get by a year on. So don't worry, getting laid off could be... — read more
some knowledge about layoffs required...
I guess most story tellers here never been managers or involved in layoffs, I have been there twice as a manager and as an employee, so here it is; It's not that easy guys! Most seperation papers include a clause where you cannot get re-hired if you... — read more

Pot Stirring
Chk people are just spreading rumors here about Devon bc they have worn their page into the ground with a bunch of BS...plus it's not like they have any work to do. This site is full of garbage until layoffs actually happen. Best to believe it when... — read more
Tuesday will be tough day at work.
Tuesday will be tough day at work. It's not by choice, but economics. The stock price is under forty and dropping. I saw gasoline at the pump for $1.79. It's going to a rough couple of years in the Oil Industry. Devon as we know it today will not be... — read more
Cheer up Devon employees
Those still at Devon, cheer up. I was laid off from IT in April. Was very pissed. But after 4 months of receiving a biweekly paycheck as part of Severance (your mileage may vary), I am calm and happy to have been saved the stress of "when am I going... — read more
