Got declined since "quite job due to personal reason". Anybody succeeded for he benefit? Thanks
Reposting the facts about Oxy, its track record and the kind of people they employ and the work environment they have.
Reposting the facts about Oxy, its track record and the kind of people they employ and the work environment they have. Of course, the disgraceful Anadarko acquisition can be added to this list. People deserve to know what Oxy is and why they have the... — read more
Legacy Oxy Layoffs?
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
Africa incentive
Former APC EVP MI will receive additional $1MM per each Africa transaction: Moz, Algeria, Ghana. One step further from G&A saving
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
Occidental Petroleum Layoffs 2020
Is there going to be any reorg or Occidental Petroleum Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?
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.
Who is buying GOM
Lots of rumors... when is the sale happening ?
Stock Price
Down over 5% to $39 and change. Looking good to clear out useless office space. That means you.
Occidental Plans to Cut Spending by 40% Next Year
Occidental quarterly profit fell short of forecasts due in part to the $37 billion acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. Shale drilling in the Permian Basin will account for the biggest chunk of the cuts. The combined Occidental-Anadarko entity... — read more
Anyone else having a great time watching the dumpster fire of an integration transpire?
I’m going to be honest. I enjoy coming in and doing nothing. I enjoy my boss no longer pretending he gave a sh– about my career. I enjoy watching desperate (dumb) people trying to cling onto whatever semblance of their old “career” still exists... — read more
Help desk
How does Occidentals help desk compare to Anadarko? I have heard it’s pretty horrible.
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.
Reposting with the updated Anardo disgrace that so many have called out Oxy over.
Bumping the facts back up about Oxy and their track record in light of the continuing deserved decline of the company. Nearly under $40 now - but somehow they will twist that in to something to be proud of. Re-posting to keep the facts out about... — read more
Lower overhead by adding more VPs?
WES announced 14 VP and 3 SVP
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?
Oxy
It amazes me more each day how poorly Oxy is run.
Now that VSP is done, what is the timing for actual layoffs of Oxy and legacy APC
I suppose they are waiting until WES gets spun off and for other asset sell off to close (GOM etc.), but what else is holding them up?
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
Over 60 ? 65 ?
I would not make any long term plans. You will be asked to "retired". No Exceptions !
The smartest post I've ever read
A Japanese company and a North American company decided to have a canoe race on the St. Lawrence River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The North... — 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?
Careers at Oxy
Have encountered several ads appear from Oxy over the last week. We’re hiring! Careers at Oxy! Really? What the heck?
Is it true? 4 more officers added to the roster?
Did I hear correctly they now have 5 Vice Presidents in IT; 4 new ones named today?
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.

Bumping the facts back up about Oxy and their track record in light of the continuing deserved decline of the company.

Not moving to Energy Corridor... Move to Woodlands instead?
Houston-based Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY) reportedly won't be moving to the Energy Corridor after all. According to real estate industry publication Realty News Report, CFO Cedric Burgher said the company will sell the campus it... — read more
