Covid cases going up, I really hope OXY doesn't try to make us go back to the office anytime soon! Its everywhere in Houston.

Oxy is an organization with a history of married working couples, brother and sisters, son and daughters. I am calling on saving more money by letting one go! There are managers and technical staff related all under the same business unit or... — read more 

The RAW dog is coming back.

Protests couldn’t come any worse time for Oxy. Protests are so relevant to Oxy culture inside. VH strives for gender equality and ignores all other inequalities.

I say we all show up at a Greenway to protest OXY and it’s terrible policies and criminal activity!?!? If we all showed up together at once, maybe they’ll start listening. It just might make the Wall Street insiders who voted to keep VH think twice... — read more 

Highest hospitalization rate on record for Houston area in the past few days. I’m curious how OXY is planning to return to work safely. Seems like Covid really ramped up since reopening. They really should just keep allowing us to safely work from... — read more 

Has anyone heard what the plan is for banking excess PTO? They put that on hold due to COVID. We were going to get to one time bank up to 120 hours to pay on departure before they pulled the date to further notice. I’m sitting on 200+ hours - plus... — read more

They said there would be no counter offers on the name your price VSP if yours wasn’t accepted. However they did send out counter offers last week. Anyone taking them? I heard they aren’t good. Has anyone left with the name your price deal?

It seems all the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. Expect announcement in a few weeks I should say.

34 as of market open.

Do the executives get the new change in control package that was just put into place if the company goes into bankruptcy?

How does everyone think return to the office will go? Will it start July 1st for non-management employees and will there be a rotating system or will we all return at once?

Why does VH have 5 corporate jets if there is no money? Who is using those private jets? There is no money but you can have jets and fuel and no where to go. Doesn't make a lot of sense no one talks about that.

OP, shut the h*ll up. No one wants to be here anymore for 70% pay to do 4X the work. OXY is a disgrace. You are clearly a yes man middle manager or HR. Either way, you are disliked by everyone at the company.

Has it occurred to anyone here that Buffett and Icahn money is invested and that’s a good damn guarantee we will survive. Vicki was bold. Every company is doing poorly. We need to stop b–ching about this being anything other than a pandemic issue... — read more

All, does anyone know why the stock is up over 27% at the moment? Maybe word leaked someone is looking at buying us out? fingers crossed

So oil was 36.35 on 3/11 and we were all making our regular salaries, and then oil took a steep turn for the worse, and then started the climb back up to 5/15 price of 29.43. The day the pay cut was announced oil was 24.00. Today the price of oil is... — read more

VH states we have to have a climate change story. But why can’t that story involve shelving of the carbon projects until the company is in good shape again? They are the reason our cash flow is still challenged and the company can’t even afford... — read more 

This is an honest question. I see so much hate on this board and it makes me wonder what are people still doing here if they are that unhappy? If nothing else, a layoff would give you enough in a way of severance to have a few months to find a job... — read more

Icahn is our daddy now! He will control VH like a puppet and if prices do not recover layoffs are coming with minimal severance. OXY HR - You are the scum of the Earth. Most employees look at you with the same disgust as the rest of management.
