Shutting down labs and discontinuing air shuttle is scary. I hope nothing else happens for a while.

I have 3 interviews next week. I’m happy because it’s really hard to even get to that stage. I have a good feeling that I will succeed this time, even though I have dozens of failed applications behind me. It seems to me that there are more... — read more 

Does anyone know what the tally was for this round of layoffs? I heard 95 in AK, curious on the numbers for other BU’s.

Look at the history of the oil industry.....hell any industry. These things happen. Demand changes, supply changes, social acceptance changes. I am surprised that it took this long for them to pull the trigger. Where jobs leave here, opportunities... — read more 

I was racing with Conoco whether I'll get laid off sooner or get a new job. Unfortunately, I got laid off sooner than I found a new job. After 14 years here... I have some savings, so for now I’m still not in big trouble, but I’m slowly becoming... — read more 

I am unhappy at COP and I have been for a long while. I've been looking for a new job and I even had a few promising interviews but in the end I decided to stay put. Not sure why, I guess I'm at that age were "better the devil you know than the devil... — read more 

The way these layoffs were done makes it clear that it wasn't about performance or (lack of) experience but it was all about the almighty dollar. Which is a lousy way to run any company. Putting profit above all is guaranteed to destroy the company... — read more 

Everyone beware ! There was an employee in Permian who was laid off WHILE she was home after a near fatal bout with COVID. If they’re heartless enough to do that, they’ll chop anyone’s head off without hesitation.

No matter what the leadership says right now, I'm not discounting more layoffs being thrown our way within the next few months. I don't trust anybody in this company anymore. I wish I could believe we are safe for the foreseeable future but I don't... — read more 

Best be on your toes. Show them SPIRIT values boys and girls!!! You’re being watched. Closely.

Not a single management layoff...dunno whats the grand plan..

and to what extent have you managed to achieve them? I was too naive when I thought I would make a career here. That was my wish and at first I really wanted to work in this company but then the reality hit me. Admittedly, I managed to gain some... — read more 

Good riddance.

Looks like you guys as well as a few other companies are about to make my home values jump. Ha

For now, I’m safe, but I do not consider myself very lucky. I guess we'll wait and see what will happen in the next round under much more difficult working conditions. Don’t waste time thinking about why, as it is not logical and has little to do... — read more 

I am still getting questions about retention bonuses. If you have not received one by now you were not on the list.

The c-ap is getting deep in the Midland office. Little by little as the org chart eeks out, nepotism and favoritism are starting to run rampant. Folks with HR files as thick as the good book are getting promotions. People that were friends yesterday... — read more 

At least you guys don’t work at Apache! Lmao we’re a trainwreck

Just curious on how deep the cuts actually were and if you know of someone who EOI’d that wasn’t accepted? Plenty of people who didn’t EOI were “involuntarily severed” (HR speak) so it made me wonder if people who had EOI’d were kept over people who... — read more 

Does anyone know if competitors were more generous when it comes to layoff packages?

Looks like they intended to lay off the best? A colleague was laid off from whom I learned a lot about work, from whom everyone had a lot to learn. They are not even aware of how much they have lost with this man. And they have certainly laid off... — read more 

Is it over for now

Ok, so. Was there a change of heart? Too much snow? I know we have not even gotten to half the number that was expected. So.... what happened?

Have layoffs met the numbers management communicated?

2 weeks/yr?

When those who deserved a job much more than those who stay get laid off, I wonder how those who stayed feel when they know that they didn't show anything through their work to deserve to stay here? Do mediocre people feel victorious that much better... — read more 

COP was always a c-ap shoot that paid well but the attitude could could drag down Miss America the day of crowning. You will recover and make a life for yourself. Don't blame yourself or others just the times and direction of the world. Things... — read more 

Like many of you, I got the HR call yesterday. Was it unexpected not really and I see it as an opportunity to move on to bigger and better. However, the one thing I did not expect was how enthusiastic the HR person was. She made it sound like I... — read more 

As a former employee of COP, I am here to tell you that there is life after a lay-off. I saw many friends let go, and I saw colleagues let go that were the best at what they did. There isn’t any rhyme or reason to how management makes their... — read more 

Check the calendar of your division's first level supervisors and their boss this week using Team's Scheduling Assistant. Then you will know when to be ready for the call.

If you know who your HR rep is then use the scheduling assistant to see how many 40 min meetings they have scheduled. It’s happening now. Someone else wrote it few minutes ago, I've just bumped it for info. Seems like a good tip, though i still... — read more 

There are so many negative and angry posts on this forum. Admittedly they are by the same two or three people that were fired several years ago and who keep repeating the same old tired complaints. But just remember, for the rest of us, we're all... — read more 

I just want to start this thread to keep ourselves updated on how things are going. As for the ESOI, the latest is for the notifications to be complete by the end of the day on Wednesday... but nothing has happened yet except for a few EOIs.

I'm not looking forward to Monday morning. Hope HR moves fast.

Did anyone else have their computer crash due to an IT Avecto Policy “security patch”? It was supposedly rolled out globally, but I suspect it was sent to those who are going to be sacked next week... Also, why on earth would IT not test this new... — read more 

For a decade plus, every time leadership needs big layoffs to balance gross mismanagement / missed opportunities / help with optics or messaging they go ahead and hammer exploration. This time around it seems 90% of exploration will leave, including... — read more
