[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 2849254, member: 26476"] Well, my wife was one of the 700 Devon employees in OKC that lost their jobs today. I can understand the reasoning for the layoffs, etc, but cannot get behind what they did to some people. My wife had been there 13 years, but what gets under my skin is not necessarily her losing her job, but them $#!+ canning those long time employees that were within just a year or two, or even months of retirement, while keeping some of the new, inexperienced people that have been there for less than 2 years. One of my wife's coworkers had been there 32 years. Gone. We will be fine. My wife is young enough to start over someplace else and keep building toward her retirement. But for some of these older folks...this will be a severe hardship for them. And one that could devastate them and their livelihood from here on out. That $#!+ ain't right! [/QUOTE]
