When those who deserved a job much more than those who stay get laid off, I wonder how those who stayed feel when they know that they didn't show anything through their work to deserve to stay here? Do mediocre people feel victorious that much better... — read more 

COP was always a c-ap shoot that paid well but the attitude could could drag down Miss America the day of crowning. You will recover and make a life for yourself. Don't blame yourself or others just the times and direction of the world. Things... — read more 

Like many of you, I got the HR call yesterday. Was it unexpected not really and I see it as an opportunity to move on to bigger and better. However, the one thing I did not expect was how enthusiastic the HR person was. She made it sound like I... — read more 

As a former employee of COP, I am here to tell you that there is life after a lay-off. I saw many friends let go, and I saw colleagues let go that were the best at what they did. There isn’t any rhyme or reason to how management makes their... — read more 

Check the calendar of your division's first level supervisors and their boss this week using Team's Scheduling Assistant. Then you will know when to be ready for the call.

If you know who your HR rep is then use the scheduling assistant to see how many 40 min meetings they have scheduled. It’s happening now. Someone else wrote it few minutes ago, I've just bumped it for info. Seems like a good tip, though i still... — read more 

There are so many negative and angry posts on this forum. Admittedly they are by the same two or three people that were fired several years ago and who keep repeating the same old tired complaints. But just remember, for the rest of us, we're all... — read more 

I just want to start this thread to keep ourselves updated on how things are going. As for the ESOI, the latest is for the notifications to be complete by the end of the day on Wednesday... but nothing has happened yet except for a few EOIs.

I'm not looking forward to Monday morning. Hope HR moves fast.

Did anyone else have their computer crash due to an IT Avecto Policy “security patch”? It was supposedly rolled out globally, but I suspect it was sent to those who are going to be sacked next week... Also, why on earth would IT not test this new... — read more 

For a decade plus, every time leadership needs big layoffs to balance gross mismanagement / missed opportunities / help with optics or messaging they go ahead and hammer exploration. This time around it seems 90% of exploration will leave, including... — read more 

Who will support the coffee shops now that the exploration group is going to be decimated? It’s tough finding oil when you are sipping lattes for seven hours a day discussing how ‘busy’ you are. I guess that’s why COP has to consistently go out and... — read more 

Other than my coworkers (and not all of them) I can't think of a single thing.

I’m hearing the ELT had a “leadership” meeting in Cancun this week, they took their fleet of private jets down there with their families? True?

Here's the thing, people who'll be laid off have already been decided. Nothing will change that and a few extra days will mean very little to them (or us, I might be among them.) But any delay means that every single one of us has to go through days... — read more 

Hello, welcome back, now, stay home forever in your freeze damaged home, we no longer have any value for you. But, SPIRIT values!!

60% of Houston is without power and a growing number of people are without water. Do layoffs still happen this week?

Getting laid off would be easier to bear if this company was a little more transparent. I decided not to stress about it and accept my faith, amor fati, because I can’t influence the outcome of layoffs in any way. Fortunately, the severance pay is... — read more 

Any updates today? Yesterday just eoi? Are layoffs happening today?

Surely those middle management types are no longer needed with the reorg that was talked about here?

Smithers: Commander Vance all main offices and satellite offices have been notified via text message of the upcoming winter storm. Commander Vance: Good job Smithers, please read me the message that was sent out. Smithers: ConocoPhillips has... — read more 

Given what’s happening in Houston right now, are they proceeding with TEAMS layoffs today?

Sending the WARN out the way they did was correct. But did they truly notify the individual that they were being laid off? No they didn’t. As a matter of fact I would venture to say that they have cause mental anguish and untold suffering to... — read more 

No need for 50% of the AKBU now. Time for you to line up for layoffs like the rest of us.

Good luck to all you salty dogs who read and post here and think you're so much smarter and cooler than everyone else.

If I’m sitting at home without electricity will they still be able to lay me off? Is it true all ELT members have back-up generators at their houses, paid for by the company?

Hope next week goes well for everyone, but in reality we know that many will be affected. Regardless of the outcome, we all know that losing or keeping a job is not going to be constant, and change will come again for better or worse. Our profession... — read more 

Will be a battle between “leadership” wanting to get the layoffs over and done with (it’s not easy for them, of course it’s massively harder on us) and Facilities wanting to keep employees safely at home while Houston streets turn into a graveyard... — read more 

Two that came to mind; Layoffs will continue until morale improves looking for someone to blame for the blame culture.

Is ConocoPhillips back to the offices in Houston? If not how many are still working from home.

I heard that Concho had 12 (twelve) supply chain people. Is that true?

The ELT actually listened to the advice posted on here! Maybe they are starting to listen. I have hope for the new ConchocoPhillips!
