I am hearing the CDC will put guidance out today that says those vaccinated don't need to wear masks inside anymore. I am 100% behind that and I hope Oxy follows and we can take these things off. Many places I go these days people are not wearing... — read more 

What were the main points of the conference call today. It was unclear.

Even with price of oil above what we were told was the break even point, Oxy reports another loss for Q1. That makes six in a row (actually seven if you look at operating income/losses). How as employee shareholders are we supposed to believe in... — read more

Anyone know when the Shuttle will fly more than 1x/week? June 1st?

Dear supervisor, I'm not a mind reader. Does anyone else have a supervisor whose expectations of you are not very clear? I try to clarify expectations with him, but it seems to me that he is not really interested in setting clear expectations... — read more 

There are indeed people who want be laid off, although I don't really understand them. Their utopian story about greener pastures in companies that are ideal and without any problems is ridiculous, with management that pulls only the best moves and... — read more

How did it come about that this company, which once employed people who are very talented and with great potential, got to the point that today it employs people who are very average or below average and not up to the task? What is this all about? Is... — read more 

Like the one who asked when Houston goes back?

Its being almost two years and I wonder how our pals from Anadarko feel treated at Oxy. Sad to see some regret staying, while others had an smooth transition and are happy. Would like to hear your thoughts and what can be improved. I guess it all... — read more 

Let me get this straight...They want us to work from Mon/Fri but they want us to return our Monitors? Sounds like 4 day weekends to me, thanks oxy

She is incompetent and not willing to listen or learn Who hired this stupid woman?

Just wondering what your thoughts are about where Oxy goes from here. Are people optimistic? When do you think APC and Oxy will feel like a unified company? What’s bright in the company’s future?

There are many people who went for better opportunities, ie those who, despite the overall situation on the market, still decided to take risks by starting from the beginning. I know a few great people who have left that any reasonable employer... — read more

Most other companies fight tooth and nail to keep their top talent and it seems that Oxy can't wait to see them walk out the door. I'm not talking about cuts, I'm talking about people jumping ship to join our competitors. How is this in any way... — read more 

Has anyone heard about what the other companies are doing for a workplace schedule transition plan?

In the past with a layoff, did they give you a severance? Or were you just out of luck?

Monday and Friday always WFH, 9/80 remains, in–office Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Good or bad?

I’ve read a lot of criticism in these threads for those who chose to remain. Calling us lazy, blaming us for the decline of the company, stating that we all deserve what’s coming. Most or all of us realize the direction OXY is headed and the... — read more 

Why ? The Company stock price stinks

Any thoughts about whether recent quakes in Texas are due to more oil field activity.

Does anyone know if Oxy bought the big sign at Minute Maid Park this year? It wasn’t apparent from news videos of recent baseball games. In previous years it stuck out because it was so large compared to signs sponsored by oil companies that were... — read more

What’s happening with New Mexico? everyone divesting tonn of assets? Is it due to regulatory environment and new no emissions rule?

Do the right thing oxy, allow flexibility or some kind of hybrid model. Most of us are more productive and less drained from not having to commute two hours a day. At least let us work from home a day or two a week.

To those who think working from home eliminates being micromanaged, guess again. Try googling project management with remote workers. There is a whole industry cranking up to micromanage your time and tasks in a remote setting. Maybe you are... — read more 

More “buy high, SELL LOW” and the stock market hates it - Oxy down way more than peer group today. Nice work Vicki on “executing the plan”.

Have people that are getting raises already been notified? Guess I didn't get one LOL

Why my genuine posts about the best president are getting deleted ? Fakers are all hat and no cattle.

The company starts making money on these Oxy VSP’s after a little over one year. Good for PR too because you can claim continuing “synergies” from the merger. There are likely people who would take it now who didn’t take it 2 years ago. — read more 

With the new corp tax going to 28% from 21% that is a 7% increase. Oxy had 17.14 billion in revenue in 2020 and 7% of that would be 1.20 billion in new taxes, if based on revenue. Is that right, or do the cost get deducted first and you pay the taxes... — read more
