We may be in trouble

Heard about this last week then got the email. Don't fall for this it's a trap. Except for my first year, I've always been rated a "1" or "2". The ratings seem to just alternate rather than be linked to actual performance. I did not put in for EOI... — read more 

How soon will we start having layoffs? Are we going to have them all at once or in stages?

Take a look at the org chart there talk about layers of not needed management. Plus it's been considered a remote location so they fly people in and out and pay for all of it and spent 3 million on a man camp. What a waste of money but more of COP... — read more 

Any info on the magnolia sale and other GOM non operating assets?

ELT has been silent on historical commercial performance of Eagle Ford, Bakken and Delaware. A lot of talk about production but no comment on commercial value. Would like to see this addressed in upcoming quarterly meeting with analysts. These guys... — read more 

Or what is happening with all the high-end office and computer equipment??

All you brilliant engineers - how many years using the COP price deck does it take for Surmont to payout? Use discounted payback ;) When do you consider sunk capital and make the smart choice to walk away vs. keep throwing money into this asset

Looks like that golden egg turned out to be a giant lump of coal! Good luck San Juan!

Rumors on what will happen with personnel in SJ? And the potential high grading/blow back to Houston employees?

The biggest problem with this company (besides corrupt, inbred, incestuous, arrogant, no-listening, know-it-all management) is that the system for rewards and recognition is messed up. It's been this way forever, and everyone knows it, but it... — read more 

You've sold major assets. You're selling laying off hundreds of employees. When will we see proportionate reductions in leadership/management? Let's help them out. What layer(s), groups, positions should b eliminated? What "leaders/managers" should... — read more 

The net book value of ConocoPhillips's assets at SJ was approximately $5.9 billion. The Company plans to record the loss of assets in Q2 2017. Source:... — read more 

Lets hope that if they plan on eliminating people in SJ that it is swift and merciful. I have a feeling SJ Asset is going to be a ball of nervous energy I hope they take that into account.

Until now! You people are hogging all the jobs! We in other assets have people that need saved and/or need to be transferred for everyone else's sanity. Come on Canada stop being greedy

Fare thee well Oil and Gas!

It's the core of who we are. Urban dictionary - any worthless individual who tries to steal credit for someone else's work; also someone who tries to pass blame on others

Does anyone take them seriously? Spirit values? What a joke. Full of mid level management who lie outright and will shove you in front of bus at a moments notice. Conoco promotes pretty people with the technical depth of Walmart greeters. Lying... — read more 

It looks like B'ville is next on the list along with several smaller assets. Will they drag it out till this time next year or go ahead and start letting people go? They have to give us notice if it's going to be more than 500 right away don't they?... — read more 

I never want to wish bad on anyone so what I will do is pray that all the people nice and Otherwise that were offered to transfer out of SJ and stay with COP do exactly that. That will solve alot of issues right there.

For those of you in San Juan who think you just hit the lottery, flying in a G-6 at 30k feet, and were just handed a golden parachute you may want to postpone your celebration and pass on buying that "Lambo" for a bit. You were acquired by a company... — read more 

Is it Friday yet? This place S---S

Maybe now we can all just work and be able to be measured on our skills and performance and not on who likes who , or who is on the in crowd. No more walking on egg shells around people who think they are LT but are not.

Hope they offer positions to employees before they offer them to contractors.

"There’s even been chatter that ConocoPhillips could be a takeover target after it’s finished lightening its load of lesser-performing assets — maybe by the likes of Exxon Mobil Corp. or BP plc — despite possible anti-trust problems." Source:... — read more 

In 6 months all the blow hards in Houston will be envious of the San Juan escapes. At least they still have Bartlesville to run down.

Goodbye ConocoPhillips Layoff Page! No more hate mongering for you! Our asset is better off without you, making otherwise kind and decent people gossip and spit hate at each other. Peace out and good luck to those still stuck with Conoco.

I know some nice hard working people in B'ville, but no Canada and no San Juan makes it hard to justify keeping that shop open. I'm not saying a lot of those folks don't deserve to keep working for COP, but there won't be near as many people needed... — read more 

Officially today. $2.7 billion in cash with potential for $300 million later

So could mean 3 hrs, it could mean 24 hours , it could mean 2 weeks, relative to what we have been through it could even mean 60 days. So what a sad disappointment it is when all the manger /supervisor minions go floating around yesterday whispering... — read more 

So if you are one of the lucky (or unlucky?) ones who isn't shown the door as a reward for your service, what are the chances of being cut in a future layoff and having no severance? With as many rounds as we've had, and with cost-cutting being such... — read more 

These programs were all huge wastes of money. Spend 2 years teaching these people to be world class drilling engineers to have them go into random other functions, quit, or lay them off a couple of years later. What a waste of time, money, and... — read more 

If I just hide, can they lay me off? Think I'll just go awol.

I told you long ago Logos was our new owner , now we wait for Corporate to fess up! Although I anticipate they will torture us over Easter weekend

San Juan announcement supposedly today or tomorrow. What do we know? Hilcorp? 2.75b?

Come on, share your thoughts. This site is the only way I'm keeping my sanity, and when the new material dies down I have nothing to do but surf the web and sit on the toilet with the newspaper all day.
