Heard word we are getting a bonus this year. Anyone else hearing the same?

Why is the workforce not back to the office yet? Apparently there are other oil companies with significant numbers of people back. Is it because people at this company don’t really do anything anyway so whether they are at the office, at home, or... — read more 

I heard that half of the aviation workforce was laid off in November 2020. Anyone else hear about this?

Another award for her incompetence. Gets salary restored when she should have been fired for what she did to the company and to stakeholders who didn't get their say. That's Oxy for you. Also, shows she isn't some angel per HR, she wants her money... — read more 

If yes, when?

There is very little talk about more layoffs (other than the usual fear mongering) and people at work seem to be in a significantly better mood than they have been for a while. Actually, I don't think the morale has been this up since before the... — read more

When can we expect the reviews to start Dont recall seeing any announcement from HR

Nothing ever really works or makes sense. Goals are a joke, as were performance reviews. Pretty sure this whole BAR thing is just another half-done program that Oxy launches but never fully goes through with it. Performance lies in who you know and... — read more 

Heard a rumor that we weren’t getting bonuses at all. Has anyone else heard this? After getting our salaries cut 30% for 4 months, this would be pretty lousy of OXY.

Wonder what feedback you may hear about this new program. Two new top technical ladder positions were created. LAPC and CVX had them. LOXY didn’t before, there wasn't a need really. I really hope this initiative doesn’t fail but like everything else... — read more 

We all took time to complete the paperwork When are the managers going to give any feedback or respond or was it just a load of BS? HR are truly useless Now they want 2021 BS goal setting without us knowing how 2020 went - The lunatics are truly... — read more

Someone needs to bite the bullet and call an All Stop on the Oxy computer migration. IT needs more time to get these machines functional. Instead of multiple people every week, they should do ONE PERSON AT A TIME with all available IT migration... — read more 

Any thoughts on what we will get if anything?

The green people are saying that over the next 10 -15 years green jobs will replace the fossil fuel jobs. They are missing the fact that a solar panel technician or wind turbine technician probably makes far less money than an offshore operations... — read more 

It seems like the IT systems are very far behind. They just now figured out in Harris county how to take peoples names for a waiting list. Most of the web pages you encounter in this process don’t work. Fort bend county cannot even take more than... — read more 

Don't we normally hear around the 3rd week of February?

It’s to flatten the curve.

I was told on good authority to brush off my resume and be ready for big changes here in Denver HQ. Can anyone else confirm?

Yes, no, maybe? Or likely only at 20% previous years while VH and the execs pay themselves huge bonuses for our stock being back at 20.

????

Explain that. I would say it is due to oil being looked at as big bad polluters. One week ago the stock would have moved up two dollars with that type price change. Most all oil companies are opening down with the price increase. There are... — read more 

Does anyone else here feel that their life was impacted over the last year by DT? Impact on personal life was negative and professional impact was neutral.

So happy to finally see Oxy stock and the country moving in correct direction. I realize now that the promised Greek mythological monster was just a scrawny earthworm 🤣.

Our Oxy warrants were sold from our 401k savings plan without our approval. Is there an ongoing class action suit to overturn this management decision?

Does anyone think we will have layoffs again? If so, when?

Does anyone actually think we will get bonuses next month? I think we will but they will be a lot smaller.

and i am sure i heard VH had tested positive for stupid? Did anyone else in the meeting hear it as well? It was last week in the daily "lets all tell everyone what a great job i am doing on the WFH program and that i need my boss to give me more... — read more 

I just checked my Citibank account for my salary payment and its a big fat zero !!! I dont recall any notification from HR - Anyone else not getting paid?

https://twitter.com/BW/status/1349486683012673536 Oxy can't even recycle their batteries consistently or their paper properly. Yet they are going to recycle carbon to pump crude. Lol

Any people in the know wanna chime in?

Wish I could find the post of guys telling me my Oxy warrants were going to expire worthless. Looks like they are in the money today with six years left until expiration.

Anyone having problems calling Oxylink? It is perpetual hold for both yesterday and today.
