We got a short email today from management indicating that layoffs in the HOU and BVO aviation operations were happening but no details were given. Does anyone know which employee groups were hit and how many people were let go?

Looks like this is the week for those in the tower. Anyone with news to report?

This company is positioning itself to be bought. I don't see any decision made to actually improve the ratio production / cost.

Curious how many other 1's & 2's were selected while many obvious non-performers and non- value adders are being retained? Kinda Feel worse for the performers left behind than those that get paid off to find a better gig . Show us your score "2"! — read more 

I understand the fall in crude oil prices and the absolute necessity of workforce reductions. But the chickenshit way they get rid of you and escort you off their property, or use another facility thats not owned by them. Come on COP we are still... — read more 

I hope all of this will be over soon, we all had terrible six months and let's hope things go back to normal at some point in time.

We in the Bakken would like to reach out and say "Thank You Niobrara" for drawing the Midget and all his minions to your asset. It is rather nice not being bullied into making decisions.

The cuts continue in Midland (all assets) probably around 30 or so counting today 10/12/15 more this week with facility engineering tomorrow and contractors on Monday.

The resonate are coming!! THE RESONATE ARE COMING!!

Why did we close down the Tech Bar? It was the most valuable IT initiative!

I heard through a pretty good source HR was in Forsan Tx, and that Baggett and Franklin are gone! Is this true? How many more got laid off or took package? One more question does anyone know when HR will be in Goldstein and Waddell?

Any info? Is it still up for sale. Has HR been there?

Heard a lot of changes happening a lot of layoffs there.

I hope they hit the Planning & Scheduling Group hard. I hope S.L. Will be the first one to go...

Heard they are in Kenedy sorry to anyone escorted out

Good luck, everyone.

"We think a 30-per-cent write-down in COP reserves is not unreasonable, based on the lower oil price,”

No one is safe yet. More cuts to come over the next 30 days. Some group will be hit again.

Today starts the hits for EagleFord. Good luck everyone!!! Please try to keep us updated with anything you see or hear, since they are completely locking us out of the information loop. Hope to see you all on the other side!

Weird... I was tested twice the last 3 months at COP... I wonder if they tried to lay me off on the cheap? Did you have a similar experience?

Now we know what happen at COP too many looser Sooners work there. They can't make it happen in football or in oil.

We nor HR laid YOU off!! YOU laid your own sorry a$$ off! End of conversion !!

I plan to take my severance by Dec 31st and start unemployment in 2016 and pay lower taxes. Any thoughts?

If I accept the severance package when I get laid off, would I still qualify for unemployment??

It's with sadness when I look at this board and I should quit looking. I'm glad to be retired. Looks like conventional has taken a hit over the last couple of weeks with 2 onsite superviosrs and 3 engineers being escorted out the door. Good luck and... — read more
