Is it just my imagination or is this wave of layoffs smaller than we expected? We know HR and Recruiting are being hit, but I haven't heard anything else in the office or read anything else here. Are any other departments and locations being hit... — read more 

Does anyone know what exit packages are being offered for those that volunteer to leave?

It is so obvious there is no future for anybody at Devon. Nobody is safe. The only way those on top know how to solve a problem is with more layoffs. Never mind that that didn't help at all any of the previous times, the strategy stays the same. Cut... — read more 

Lots of people are thinking JH ithe issue! Your thoughts?

How does management actually come up with their list of who they are laying off? Do mid-level managers have a say? Age? Salary? Performance? All the above? Asking for a friend.

IMHO, DVN should have an Ops test given to each employee covering basic oilfield operations and fundamentals. Anyone scoring below 75% should be released from duty. That should get us down to the desired headcount in OKC. No doubt DVN has some... — read more 

DEVON ENERGY TO SELL CANADIAN OILFIELD ASSETS. How is Canada doing? What's it like up there?

Does anybody have info or can you at least guess how many folks were cut in February so far? Also, I would like to get some opinions regarding what could be the final number of cut people when February ends? I know it's hard to determine, but any... — read more 

Help a Devon newcomer out, please. What happened for the last several years in March?

Remember when Devon had guts, and the stock price was $120? It was not so long ago, either. Clearly the rank and file are responsible for this plunge (sarcasm alert).

Purge 3.0

“If you aren’t replacing your assets, you’re liquidating.” So, this “new” plan revealed yesterday is supposed to increase shareholder value. Shedding Canadian assets may make sense, but taking the Barnett cash cow to market and leaving it there if no... — read more 

One hour until big news. Grab your ankles!

Wait so there’s gonna be a February layoff? Shocking... haven’t we been doing rounds since 2016? The new executives/VPs come in from different companies, and are hopefully told some direction from the higher ups on budgeting etc. if not then they’re... — read more

End of feb layoffs across the board Topheavy strategy not working

We spent $50,000 to try to prevent SQ788 and now it has been almost 12 months since people have a license and could acquire stuff. Where are all the incidents, people stumbling around, people sleeping at their desks and in the stairwell. They must... — read more 

No one will miss you except Microsoft. You single handedly wasted enough time and money to successfully acquire a successful company.

With oil prices and stock prices dropping look for move layoff in the fall.

f-you devon

They will get the company sold or at least get rid of the ceo and his crew and lots of others.

February will be short more than just days by golly. Good luck to the newly unemployed!

They're opening up food banks, allowing rent, mortgage and utility bills to be put on hold. Only for furloughed government workers who will RECEIVE BACK PAY!!!! No public sympathy or help for private sector employees LAID OFF in droves!!

Rumor is DVN has all of its Delaware Basin assets up for sale ?

Two - Three weeks away from performance review results. Anyone hearing any news through the departments? Usually there are rumbles around this time.

Looking back on 2018. The rise and fall of WTI and stock. The layoff, mass exodus of the best and brightest, random Sandusky speeches, and prompt exits of SVP’s seem to be the new norm. The short sided $20.20 vision was almost a success a year and a... — read more 

It's not what is going to happen that is so bad, "It's not knowing what's going to happen". As an open plea to HR, legal and management, please move swiftly and fairly! Don't feel by lying and stringing us along you are making things better. Finally... — read more 

We're close to achieving our Vision $20.20 two years early! So continue taking those 90-minute Well breaks, Don't forget to arrive at 9ish and leave at 4ish, and above all, make sure you take EVERY Friday off-or if you must make a token showing on... — read more

Didn't Tom Petty write a song once about Devon's performance? Freefallin'? Vision $20.20 is certainly within our grasp now. Good thing the palatial windows on 46 are sealed shut, unless, of course, this is part of some grand super-secret master plan... — read more 

Yes there are credible resources that early 2019 there is another round of layoffs. That is the sole intent for the optimization and automation robots. Natural attrition, forced attrition, and non replacement of employees as they leave. Even HR... — read more 

I have a house for sale in Yukon and my realtor is hinting I should drop the price before the spring blood letting begins. Are there really hints that Devon is going to downsize again?

Does anyone know what the 2018 bonuses will look like?

Slick back haircut boy is gone, who is next? He was a good speaker but like most 40-somethings In management, didn’t know much.

One of the very few good ones at that level. The die is cast. WH is the CEO in waiting. Sandusky need only complete his final round of layoffs, and he’ll get his golden parachute. This is not a good place to work. And it’s going to get worse.

The only people being tricked are the shareholders. I'd say Devon is a multiple trick pony. Pathetic that with the kind of buybacks being performed along with the production increases being seen that the stock continues to dwell at the bottom of the... — read more
