Can you explain Vision 2020 to me?
Will a rabbit pop out of a hat then? It seems the results to this point are to diminish the company, lay employees off, and reduce the stock price dramatically. As a stockholder, that seems counter-intuitive. Is something wonderful supposed to... — read more

Pull the trigger already!
Canada sale finishes up at the end of the month. Hoping soon thereafter for an acquisition by a major, or a merger with a larger company. Worst part is waiting for something to happen. Folks are sick of the cost saving exercises that feel like part... — read more

Value destroyed
Between Northstar, Anderson, and the short lived BP Oil Sands deal, Devon spent well over $10B. Now they sell off the Canadian assets for $2.8B. Thanks for destroying value! The entire executive leadership team should be fired, but we have a do... — read more

Hurry up and get it done. Or start the restructure in Canada. Too many people keeping their thumbs warm waiting ever since the divestiture announcement. Make the changes already
Poor middle and upper leadership
Devon management is weak on articulating clear lines of authority and establishing strict accountability, in effect, many times promoting people they like and trusting them to figure out the job and do what what's right. Well, more than a few... — read more

BU control
I feel that leadership will continue cutting personnel in OKC and slowly give each BU more autonomy because there won’t be enough OKC staff to perform the job when the cuts are done. I generally agree with a de-centralized command model but not if it... — read more

In a galaxy not so far away...
The republic has lost faith in our leader Darth Hager trying to bring us to the dark side of the force. Wade Skywalker is no longer Padawan and will follow the likes of Tony Maul. The Republic is losing hope...
:(
A coworker once told me, “give Devon two years and it will s--- the life out of you.” Truer words have not been spoken here.
Have faith in leadership
I think this leadership has proven in the last several months it has a vision for Devon that is leading us in the right direction. Just look at our stock YTD. I know a lot of people want to leave, but honestly, I think that would be a mistake right... — read more
Devon layoffs in May?
I heard that layoffs may happen next week or they will be postponed until May. It’s messed up what ol’ butterfly is doing. Makes a statement about mid April and so far hasn’t followed through. Next week we’ll find out if he sticks to it. Another long... — read more

Any word of New Layoffs?

Why are we treated like butterflies? (Opportunities for cost savings)
The janitorial staff come into the bathroom every time I'm in there, multiple times a day. Do we really need them cleaning the bathrooms 5 times a day? Or cleaning up the break room area 5 times a day? Why do we need such nice, expensive paper towels... — read more
Tired
I’m tired of these know nothing VP’s blaming everyone above them and below them for all the problems. They’ve apparently learned from the guy at the top on how to be Teflon. Maybe they believe they can save the ship but they are just sinking it.
