It's a pleasure to help a young employee who is willing to work and learn and whose mistakes affect me too. However, sometimes I am way too tired for it. Do you fix your coworker's mistakes when covering their work?

You people in oil companies are very fortunate to have a business tied to high commodity prices (at the moment). Many of your friends in other businesses will lose their jobs later in 2022 as the recession hits. But don’t think that you will be... — read more

It seems like the Oxy dividend did not go up. Is that correct? They made all of this money last quarter and they are not giving it back to the shareholders. That stinks. Sure they are doing buybacks but it isn’t as good as a higher dividend. — read more

By backing up the truck and buying a sh*tload of shares in the smarter company…

There is a simple solution. Those that want to work from home all week let them. With that comes a 30% pay cut. I know people who would do it in a second. Those that want to come in 2-3 days a 20% pay cut, and those that want to come in all the time... — read more 

Free advice from an old-timer to some of the younger employees who I see making the same mistake daily. They want to prove themselves so they keep doing their jobs and the jobs of two other people combined. Listen to me, the days when that mattered... — read more 

It seems that the optimal number of days in the office is four days and not three. Better get geared up for an extra day in the office.

We have so many non-performers that whine and have figured out the system to stay employed. It really sucks the life out of the ones that do perform. So much time and effort is put into trying to make them better and they just go back to their old... — read more 

I have nothing against the company hiring someone who is underqualified for the position. However, the problem is that the management then expects that all the mistakes of such a new employee will be corrected by those who are naive enough to agree... — read more 

Why does Oxy always announce their earning so late? It isn’t until mid May. It would be better to just get it out good or bad. This quarter earning are great but like in previous quarters they are always diluted by covid, the fed insanity, and the... — read more 

Anyone been looking for fully remote jobs lately?

Are there any thoughts given by Oxy for reservable nap pods in Greenway and Woodlands? It will be a great idea and increase productivity.

What’s the average raise for a salary grade promotion?

I wanted a promotion - until I got promoted. I should have inquired a little better whether it’s really worth getting a promotion. In my case, the promotion was accompanied by a raise that's much lower than I expected, but it brought me an... — read more 

Anyone looking at Linkedin lately? All I see are promotions, promotions and more promotions at OXY. Some staff getting a double bump which was as rare as hens teeth back in the day. Looks to me that OXY is putting effort into retaining staff and... — read more 

I read the below from an article about Buffet and his recent Oxy and Chevron stock purchases. I wonder if he knows something we all don't know. Would there ever be a chance Chevron acquired Oxy? I am glad we all still have jobs at Oxy, but man it was... — read more 

How wide is the pay discrepancy within each pay grade. Do all 22s (senior level) make close to the same, or is there a wide range?

When will we hear. Seems odd with an Satisfactory rating I haven’t been told yet.

So no raises this year? Assumed we would have heard something by now?

My friend’s son recently inquired about Oxy. The guy has a really big potential. Although he inquired, Oxy was his last job search option. It is a bit sad that no one so young and talented wants to work here anymore. On the other hand, I am... — read more 

Seems later than normal.

I'm a little worried about what the reorg will look like. What can we expect?

I read a lot of complaints here. Based on all these posts, someone who doesn’t work at Oxy might conclude that people are running away from here. However, I don’t notice that a lot of people are leaving. I’m not saying Oxy is a great place to work... — read more 

When will we find out. Inflation is starting to hurt.

Will the raises keep up with inflation?

Did you see Oxy stock today! Management has brought Oxy back!

I thought she was going to speak about how raises would look this year. She said she was going to talk about it, but then only talked about how inflation effects operations.

Only 1 hour back in office and everything is so slow. Regular applications and links that worked great from home are taking long time to load. Is it just too much crowding on network or what ?

Once the workforce is back to the office they will redesign the organizations which may result in both layoffs and filling the open positions. I hope that it will not happen, but I see that there are those who think that the RTO will be followed... — read more 

Wouldn't be surprised if Oxy management, with full support of their staff, would step in and take over the assets that these two ethical companies are forfeiting based on integrity and opposition to Russias war in Ukraine. We've already seen a... — read more

Do most people get a 3 in this new rating system? Is 3 the new S?

Just saying, causing 10k employees to commute 2 hours a day is just adding gas to climate change. A lot of virtue signaling on Oxys part without backing up what they say.

What is the difference between 2R and 2B from bonus and rating? Are they the same rating?

Now that staff at Oxy are denying the facts of things like Piper Alpha (one person claimed its not a fact that it happened!), delighting in the suffering of what is going on in Ukraine recently (the term 'good times' was used at Oxy) and have voiced... — read more

I really don’t believe that 10 applicants are ready to take someone’s job here after that person leaves. I don’t believe it, because my colleague's left, and still no one has come in his place. To me that means that the interest in the job here is... — read more
