Anyone else hearing the rumors about legacy Oxy layoffs this week?

Vacation Policy

Any word on the new Vacation/PTO/Sick day policy? It is December and we still haven’t heard a peep regarding the combined PTO policy. The way that OXY has handled this acquisition is completely mind blowing. Us legacy Anadarko employees are watching... — read more

Karma for VH

Can’t wait to see the picture of her with a cardboard box of her stuff with the door behind her closing. Massive screwup and the end of this always failing company. Hope Chevron buys us at the fire sale, for a dollar.

VSP/WES email

I received an email that my VSP was approved last Friday, but now I am hearing that emails were sent "out of order" and that I should have received an offer for a position at WES before the "VSP approved" email. I was on the fence about staying on... — read more

Refresher

Is the objective of management to maximize shareholder wealth or destroy it? I’m confused by our executives’ strategy.

Berkshire Hathaway Purchase

Oxy stock rises on news that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway purchased $331 million dollars of shares in the 3rd quarter, making them the 17th largest holder of Oxy stock. Warren might be angling for some BOD influence or something. Good news... — read more

The Woodlands

I sure am holding out some hope that we move to The Woodlands. With the announcement we would move into Anadarko’s Midland office it just seems the door is left open a little more for a move to The Woodlands. The Woodlands Township would love to keep... — read more

Oxy Selling Colorado & Wyoming Assets

Oxy seeking $700 million for assets in these 2 states. You can smell the desperation in the air. The dividend is on shaky ground, to say the least, and if that gets cut then the stock will really tank. The only sure winner is Warren Buffett, not the... — read more

Capital Destruction!

IMHO, VH listened to those ex-Apache dolts to put a big focus on Permian UC “assets” The value of those “assets” largely overstated by JB Then Oxy, with VH led down the primrose path by OKB and MPU, chased Anadarko for almost two years... — read more

Rockies

Oxy overlords don't seem to care very much about the Rockies assets. Barely made it into 3rd Quarter presentation. Countdown to massive selloff and closure of Denver?

LSU vs Alabama

Rumor is if LSU wins, V is canceling all future VSPs. Seems legit.

Occidental Plans to Cut Spending by 40% Next Year

Question for Oxy Folks

Why is your company so inept and what led you to join this dumpster fire of an organization back when you did? This transition is being led with all the grace of mongoloid figure skater.

And The Trend Continues

Stock price is now $40.51 and one year ago it was $72.18. The dividend is about 7.75%. Well, something will have to change to reverse this. Want to guess what that could be?

Anadarko "Leadership"

By now most Oxy folks have gotten a taste of Anadarko leadership (and I use that term very loosely). You've seen the nepotism and cronyism that resulted in complete incompetence across several departments. Which department surprises you the most with... — read more

Could Oxy screw up this APC acquisition any better?

I’m Embarrassed at how ridiculous Oxy is looking at their lack of planning and execution in absorbing APC. The majority of APC staff are spending their days playing games on their cell phone while incompetent Oxy leadership and HR continue to... — read more

APC VSP

So, the VSP packets FINALLY went out to APC employees, but at our CAO town hall this week, they made a HARD pitch to beg us to stay and not take the package. Huh?

Greenway or Woodlands

Any thoughts on the potential to move headquarters to The Woodlands? If The Woodlands campus has room to expand, it seems like a much more desirable place to be than Greenway.

Stock Price

5 years ago the stock price was over $92 and now it is at $42.37. Great. Probably will go lower. Not a good sign for stable employment.
