Hopefully if any of you work for Murphy, you land on your feet.

About to lay off 23% of their workforce. They've already had layoffs once in the last 3-4 months.

Oil prices are killing jobs in that field, but are helping everyday Americans (allegedly)

A little ironic that results beat analyst's estimates. Most of that is one-time write downs of course.

Stock is trading higher this morning. I got in below $24 a few weeks ago.

Low expectations..... the secret to a happy life.

So glad I don't have to do the "Corporate gig" anymore. I paid my dues.

Yes it is. Roughly 391 jobs will be lost. I would imagine it hits El Dorado kind of hard.

Throughout. But I would imagine some of those hit the home state.

Incredibly the stock is up 7.5% on the day. Expect a pull back before the close

but still

just shows you how excited Wall Street can get when you mention the word "layoffs". Borderline erotic.

It's because their employees don't eat organically raised chickens. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

It's getting pretty bad right now for all.

Hopefully those who lose their job can land on their feet some place.

The entire oil and gas sector is hurting. Worried about layoffs all the time these days.
