… during this time? Weird looks from HR, snarky comment from your boss, IT folks wandering around counting docking stations and monitors?

Are there any updates on what functions/groups/teams will be hit the hardest in Alaska? Who should be packing up?

It is hard to believe that Alaska has much potential left due to high operating expenses.

As we get closer to showtime, what are some smart things to do if your name ends up getting called? This can be tax stuff, general networking, etc. Based on what I have seen on this site plus common sense, here is what I have gathered. Wait... — read more

If there’s no real strategy or bigger plan and, more importantly, if leadership can’t adapt effectively to fast-changing circumstances, none of these layoffs or reorganizations will mean anything. My confidence in their ability to steer through the... — read more 

Anyone else notice the trend? CEP internal emails keep getting picked up by Reuters as their exclusive story. Latest was Canada. Surprised US hasn’t hit the news yet and just waiting for the Reuters Exclusive on that one… Thoughts?

Can we all just agree that the upcoming layoffs are noting more than CP being greedy?

Existing operating model was developed after covid when they acquired a company. ConocoPhillips was a great company before but that 4 to 1 ratio in the Permian, compromised the core. The need to liquidate the artesia New Mexico office and part of... — read more
