I’m doing the bare minimum. No overtime, even if it feels like the world’s collapsing. I’m actively searching for a better job. I’m choosing to ignore the micromanaging and toxic people on my team. Why should I waste my energy on any of it? Chances... — read more 

Everything’s just about cutting corners and doing the bare minimum. No one talks about pushing things forward or doing something great. It’s all just keep the lights on and hit the numbers. Show a little ambition and suddenly you're a problem. Are... — read more 

Wonder how much those CEP videos that tell us nothing cost to produce.

LAYOFFs

Strong performers will remain to fill the roles that are left and they will be worked to the bone until they quit. Those that get packaged out will be the lucky ones to escape.

God grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change; courage to change things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Bring the future to work!! I don't even if I have a future here beyond 2-3 months. Its hard to care or move forward when you are waiting for the grand finale. If you knew a meteor had a 30% chance to end the world in 2 months, would you spend time... — read more 

Does anyone know if the Bartlesville campus is open tomorrow? No alerts have gone out and nothing on the news websites have been updated.

I’m genuinely confused as to what the key drivers are behind CEP. The messaging from prior years were positive, banner years even. Then somewhere around Q2-3 2024, messaging takes a 180. I’ve seen oil much lower, the market more volatile. The depth... — read more 

Word in the halls….. July - org set Aug - EOI Sep & Oct - selection Nov - D day month 40% - 60% manager reduction What are people hearing?

And every single one of y’all chickened out.

Just lost an hour of our life and had to dress up.

If you hate COP so much, why are you still working here? I am genuinely curious. Why you want to be in a place where you are so unhappy? You haven’t been able to find another job? It is just a good pay?

Just a quick reminder to dress professionally tomorrow. Below some simple guidelines. Please avoid showing up in clothing more suited for muddin’ on a four-wheeler than attending a team meeting. That means: • No ripped jeans, unless you’re trying... — read more 

I am obviously clueless here. Sorry.

It won’t be long before the number of board members exceeds the number of employees!

Tell me what other company you would rather work at? And why you are not working there?

Raises that don’t even keep up with inflation. Promotions that are promised but never come. Managers who get away with terrible behavior and never face consequences. What’s the incentive to stay?

What does it mean to have your role labelled Essential? Who makes the decision if the role stays or goes ?

Don’t listen to managers that say your group will not be impacted or will be minimally impacted. Lies they tell to keep productivity up while they scheme and plan the big cuts

A company that delays like this clearly doesn’t care about productivity. Who in their right mind could stay focused, let alone dedicated and productive, while having no idea what their future looks like? I’m just spinning my wheels here, overwhelmed... — read more 

Has anyone else heard the updated rumored target cuts? I have had two director-level people say that the new target is 45%. Both of them were in conversation, and their body language backed it up. I am curious if any of you have heard that.

Check out the current Chevron board. Since COP basically imitates Chevron in so many ways (without managing to find much success), you’ll see the blueprint for what’s coming here. Start backing up those files!

I’m a contractor at ConocoPhillips. My contract was recently extended for a year, but with all the layoff talk, I’m wondering if that means anything at all. Be straight with me: Are contractors the first to get cut? Does a contract extension mean... — read more 

The truth hurts, but anybody who wants to progress their career is either gone or leaving. Everybody know by now there's no future here.

They’ve let it drag on too long between when they announced layoffs and when they will actually occur. I’ve heard EOIs will be solicited toward the end of July, and they’ll build out the new orgs and fill the “boxes” in September deciding who stays... — read more 

Ask ChatGPT. Research has shown that 10% of employees leak sensitive data through GenAI public tools. Since COP recently started blocking ChatGPT you can assume they found private data out on the public ChatGPT. So use it to your advantage.

We definitely don’t need all the people we have. Hopefully the cuts are deep for a complete reset. A lot of pointless middle management too.

Who created the problems? The opaque bureaucracy confused reporting lines ? The inability to make decisions without overworked sanitizer corpo speak slide packs ? Not the BUs where money is made. Problem sits with our corporate management... — read more 

How many roles do they expect the rest of us to absorb while positions go unfilled for months or even forever? Every time someone leaves, the work just gets dumped on whoever’s still standing, like we’re machines with no limits. I’m genuinely curious... — read more

Well parking will be easier when we cut the 30% of middle management and worthless filler positions. Plenty of fat I see waddling around just waiting to get axed

It's a bootlickers paradise. Backstabbing, snitching and taking credit for other people's work is the corporate culture. Best thing I ever did was get out of cop.

Just saw Matt Fox heading for the executive suites. Apparently rumors of his imminent return are true. Get your spreadsheets ready.

I just love it when my manager is completely shocked that the new hire - fresh out of school, no experience, and happy to work for peanuts - can’t quite replace the seasoned coworker they laid off. Who could have seen that coming? Cheap labor slowing... — read more 

The whole work hard and they’ll take care of you lie needs to die. I’ve seen top performers get axed after years of grinding, and the company just shrugs. People need to stop falling for that cr-p.

Getting laid off would probably feel like a relief at this point. I’ve been here too long. This job has worn down my health and taken a big chunk of my life. No paycheck can make up for everything it’s cost me.

Decision Quality. What joke this is. Especially the folks in that group that push this cr-p and actually believe it.
