How was the L48 townhall today?

Since there’s a lot of information presented here about why we are bad, I thought I’d list what’s needed. I know, I can dream, though. (1) Zerobase the company then cut all non-value adding activities. This is easy to do. First, survey all employees... — read more 

How worried are you about ranking? It seems to me that the message the COP has sent to employees so far in terms of ranking is that it is not worth the effort. I wish that wasn’t true, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if my ranking dropped, given... — read more

Or better said it is best not to have an opinion at COP? Once upon a time I tried to express an opinion that something could be done better and never again. While I am still working here, I will not say what I think or try to make an effort to do... — read more 

As an employee who has been with COP for just over a year what advice would you give besides “get out”? I don’t plan on retiring from here by any means but I do plan on remaining in the industry. This is my first job and I would like to get as much... — read more

The Alaska office hemorrhages money. Big banks not lending for Arctic projects. Time to sell this outdated pig, and cease management boondoggles. BP was smart and sold their pig.

Retired - 40 yrs. Soc sec unreliable. One BOD vote ends pension. Invest in thrift. Increase withholding by 1-2% annually. Diversify. Retirement is more than my pay!

I was once a valuable contributor in Canada Commercial until I encountered a severe depression. The company jumped at this opportunity to hand the career development I sought to someone else. The VP Finance lead a campaign of harassment and torment... — read more 

It’s Monday, and I still have nothing to do.

My supervisor is on vacation. My team is doing busy work. And I’ve been looking at my calendar dreaming of early retirement. Any chance there going to be another package offered in the next 18-24 months?

We all know that safety and people are the first and most important part of SPIRIT values. With the highly infectious and contagious and deadly delta variant being spread like wild fire now, does that mean that ConocoPhillips will send all employees... — read more 

The only people who grumble on here are former employees laid off over the past 5 years. Everyone still here is happy, approves of the company’s direction and leadership, and enjoys what they do for a living. Let go of the anger people.

Anyone going? Great chance to find a new job at a company that actually values employees!

Do you guys have any summer interns around? I know AKBU have some...

Unfortunately employee productivity is being blamed for the financial struggles, i.e., not successfully executing the plan, rather than dealing with that the plan hasn't been that great. Otherwise we'd see more managers laid off too (not just old... — read more 

Our stock price is the same as it was 14 years ago in 2007. There’s been peaks and valleys for sure, but where’s this “smart growth and superior returns” we keep hearing about? I’m just not seeing it. The share buybacks began with the first couple... — read more

Some would say that so much more could be accomplished. It's true. I wonder what this company would look like if such people were promoted and could significant layoffs and leaving of the most talented people be prevented in this way? The situation... — read more 

So much more could be accomplished if only management was smart enough to promote those who actually perform the work. Too many “friends” are promoted whose only talent is making the round of their mentors and other worthless coworkers. Biggest... — read more 

If you're not looking to leave you're making a mistake. It's obvious that this place does not have a bright future. The company will continue to cut and shrink until nothing of real value is left. And once that happens, its days will be numbered... — read more

Stock buyback until all stock holders are bought out then lay off everyone and sell assets.

I find the whole story about the potential sale of Shell’s Permian holdings interesting. Some analysts believe that Conoco is a potential bidder for all or some of the assets. Any thoughts? What do you think about this?

Sounds like it’s coming!!!! Another company to ride this out another few years! What’s the latest and greatest????
