What have you heard or know about the reorg?

I don’t know if I should panic more when I have too much work or when I have too much free time. How busy is your schedule? Whomever of my colleagues I talk to they say that they have more work to do than ever. My case is that I’ve never had less... — read more

We got a heart felt message from Vicki regarding the unfortunate and awful murders in Atlanta. But not a mention about the tragic murders in Boulder. Why not?

The Oxy.com does not have job postings anymore. Are they buried in the website somewhere?

Has anyone heard when contractors would get their salaries back?

I absolutely agree with someone who said that Oxy is one of the most if not the most badly run oil majors bar none. I worked in another oil major where the situation was similar in terms of management, but here it is certainly worse. However, I do... — read more 

Did anyone get a raise this year?

As Ichan dumps OXY stock and the slide back to the teens continues

https://www.rigzone.com/news/bp_work_model_to_affect_roughly_25000_employees-14-mar-2021-164865-article/ I hope OXY follows suit. Otherwise everyone at OXY is going to try and leave and go to more flexible companies like BP. To my generation... — read more 

Can someone explain the cash portion of LTI please?

Throwing this out there and asking fellow Oxys for advice. With the share price back at a reasonable level, and considering that we’re barred from trading Oxy derivatives, I’d like to ask around if you have any interesting hedging strategies. .. — read more 

Someone here recently declared BK by Thanksgiving. Stock is now over $30. I guess the OP meant next Thanksgiving??

Working from home suits me perfectly, although I know it won’t be able to last forever. Even though the work/ life balance is a little more disturbed now, it suits me much better. I have noticed that I am much more productive. I do things with ease... — read more 

What are your thoughts on WFH?

What do you think about giving away our tax dollars to people who don’t need it. The big question is if someone makes 69,000 dollars per year and has 500,000 in the bank should they get any stimulus. What if they are retired, make 60,000 dollars... — read more 

Thoughts?

Any thoughts on how this new layer of middle managers may help improve the bottom line? Another idea from JB on siloing folks under incompetent yes-mam power-seeking young bosses. Reorg is not done yet but damage is.

Wonderful news for Reservoir Engineers and Geos. You got three months to complete the work used to take 6! More power point makeup and spreadsheet filling that doesn’t make sense. Pre approval meetings and more meetings to please the Reserve team... — read more 

So now that our king has declared COVID-19 essentially wiped out Oxy work from home people should go back to work. No masks required. No social distancing required either. This governor is such an id–t and didn’t learn his lesson from last year... — read more 

I heard this from a friend that in the meeting tomorrow they are going to declare special bonus for all people. Is this true? It can’t be we just got some declared last week, but ya never know.

Vicki to be interviewed on CNBC Thursday along with John Kerry on clean energy. Hopefully Q&A is prescreened so she doesn’t say anything stupid. In any event, they will blow a lot of CO2 hot air that should be sequestered! 💨

Market assessment for Oxy is currently stated as over valued. Never has an assessment of a group of people been more accurate.

I've never worked at a company where that saying was more true than here. Stabbing people in the back just to get ahead is a common occurance and I've seen it happen over and over again in my three years here. Taking credit for somebody else's work... — read more 

Did you receive an LTI this week? How does it compare to last year’s?

My time at Oxy I always thought it was funny how male counterparts were always congratulated for whatever successes they had and invited to lunches with managers, but female counterparts were typically told how lucky they were to have a job and... — read more 

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot OXY. Not even an inflationary raise? All while VH gets her salary restored to $1MM. If there are no performance reviews clearly there are no raises...

Explain why we were forced to waste so much time on preparing self evaluations? Also if no Evaluations, does that mean no raises? I can’t see how you could do one without the other? Is that just me reading between the lines? Grateful to have a... — read more 

Way to go Oxy! You came in and reduced LAPC bonus targets, laid off many people, won't re-staff positions from people leaving/retiring/quitting so we all have more work to do, less time to do it, working from home (many more hours than normal office... — read more 

Anyone heard anything. We normally hear by now.

Someone explain to me, how Oxy is going to transition into a renewable company with a $55b purchase of anadarko. How is it possible? Are we dumping permian for pennies? Who is going to buy it for 80% of what VH paid for it?

Anyone else think we will go back before the original May date?

WHEN WILL WE FIND OUT THE BONUS? This week?

I know a lot of folks have issues still working for Oxy, but really they have been great with WFH during the pandemic. They were very understanding about the freeze, and have reached out to help employees that need help. Say what you will, but Oxy... — read more
