Honestly, I am amazed VH was reelected as CEO. She will go down as the worst CEO in oil and gas history. I get why Icahn supported her, so she will be his puppet from now on, but why did the rest of the shareholders allow it? I voted against her and... — read more 

Oxy’s troubles and the downfall of the entire US O&G industry. VH’s re-election is easily explainable by the Ponzi scheme operated by collusion between shareholders and company executives, from small operations to the... — read more 

I still don't think we should of had to give up 30% of our salary, and then continue to have layoffs and vsp offers. With less people to hold down the fort and do the job we should at least be paid the same as those that were laid off. There are... — read more

Sure don’t hear that chant any longer !! Like we did when OXY came in and told Anadarko how great they where. Anadarko people took the severance packages and are now watching the circus . Anadarko was a great company and took care of their... — read more

Just got my proxy in the mail today. It had to be returned by yesterday for my vote to count. I wouldn’t put it past VH and Oxy to have held up delivery of these so people wouldn’t get to vote her a– off the board.

What is the highest amount of months anyone has heard of being accepted so far. Highest I’ve heard so far is 12 months.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely id–tic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for... — read more 

SMH. While I have been very put off by the power-hungry folks and micro-managers, awful communication, and lack of strategy, I have held on with my belief in Vicki for some time. Unfortunately, today’s “conversation” was a complete missed... — read more 

May of missed it. did she mention layoffs after VSPs or if they don’t get s&a lower?

It's the only question anyone cares about.

As expected, today's "conversation" is all about sharing of the VH Delusion. I shut it down at about minute five.

Can someone live record her Q&A tomorrow and put it under an alias account on reddit or somewhere and post the link in here?

Here’s a quote/ nugget (ha!) from PinkPetro.com , May 15, 2019, that explains quite a bit about Oxy’s downfall. “Because of our autonomy, we are able to identify a challenge and come up with a solution, then actually implement it from a full cycle... — read more 

It's a shame to hear that Oxy employees and even some Oxy leadership are claiming partial unemployment. The Law clearly states that partial unemployment eligibility is only for those that have been forced to work less than their customary full-time... — read more 

I used to giggle when I heard OXY say this. We have such a terrible reputation within the industry. I have friends at other companies that say what a pain we are to work with.

Seeing all these "denied" just means this is a one way street type of thing for Oxy. You have some HR jerk making decisions about a person's work future. They are going to come in low until you accept and then get a "good job" from their boss. The... — read more 

So far I have only heard that managers are headed back plus a few other clerical employees once a week. Is anyone else? Why would badges be deactivated NOW? Why not months ago? Sounds shady.

I can't fill out the form electronically and can't forward it to my personal email to print and scan. Were the rest of you able to fill it out online?

Any news of when Midland and the surrounding areas of the Permian are able to work back in office?

Saw the typo below and thought it was the best one word description of Oxy’s VH & the Oxy EC: Errorgance An appalling combination of arrogance and error!
