I applied to P66 for a Finance job in B'ville. Got an email 4 days later saying they had decided not to fill the position. I'll keep trying...

Loved working for this company but just tired and having lots of stress issues and now health problems.

The ones who will get terminated will be the young low performers and the older deadwood. What will remain will be the best and brightest which will lead to a stronger future COP.

Do you think any of the smug HR A-holes will get laid off once the dirty work is done? Or will they continue to sit in the shadows behind Management and like the slimy weasels they are?

I am thinking about Voluntary layoff but one can't wait it happens.. Will they agree to leave early if one can ? It is kind of double edge sword. They will know who wants to leave and one does not get it how can one continue to work ? Conoco has... — read more 

The high price of oil forces companies like conocophillips to go out in the market and hire crap they normally would not consider. Now with $45 oil they will flush the toilet. And the whiners on this page will swirl around and down they go, back... — read more 

If Conocophillips is sold off to another company, what happens to our company stock in the Vanguard stock fund? For that matter, if I'm laid off and I want to roll my 401k into an IRA do I have to sell those shares and then re-purchase them or can I... — read more 

It is an outrage, that's all. They're making a huge, huge mistake. Let's see Josh replace these people. Let's see Josh find another Stanley. You think Stanleys grow on trees? Well they don't. There is no Stanley tree. Do you think the world is... — read more

On the Hindenberg, the passengers saw the flames, panic surrounded them, a news commentator decried "oh, the humanity" and some jumped from the burning wreckage to later survive. None were better off. Is this what we are left with? Will we be only a... — read more

On Oct. 6, McDonald's will roll out all-day breakfast nationwide. You can eat those and come to work and I will tell you whose your daddy!

Getting it down to nothing but barrels in the ground for valuation.

Who decides about? Direct Supervisor or Manager? Managers dont really know all employees well i assume it could be supervisor but not really sure as supervisors themself are on the hook!

I have been looking at Org charts today, pretty difficult to understand from where so many cuts will come as our BU is already pretty LEAN...some very tough decisions will have to be made!

Any good rumors with what's going to happen to the Wyoming assets?
