What does the rumor mill have to say? Late summer is what I have heard, or will it be the usual early October killing season? Small enough to not have to do the WARN BS but enough to clean house? Maybe the end of the year as a Xmas present? You know... — read more

Does conocophillips have a “non-compete clause” to prevent ex-employees to work for other competitors. Please share your experience?

Not sure what happened to the original post, but I agree that COP should implement a non-fraternization policy. Intel got it right when they fired their CEO a few weeks ago for having an affair with an employee. Intel has a longstanding... — read more 

Any chance somebody from the 450 slated to be laid off in the UK already learned about severance package? I'm just wondering how it compares to what we get in the US. I've heard that European workers get significantly better packages, so this would... — read more 

What you won’t hear at the July 26 2nd Qtr Earnings Release Meeting (1) The ELT is populated with self-serving narcissistic jerks. They are schemers rather than planners. So they have their own reasons for the creation of this new second tier ELT... — read more

Just can’t wait for 2Q results for slaps in face for all the haters out there. I think COP may as well become best oil companies eva. We are finding oil everywhere and all, it’s going to be awesome to work here soon.

COP, we cant find anything new so we just buy more of the existing fields we have, and fool everyone in Alaska that we hire locals, while we get exemptions all the time to hire international people and idiot hi-pots who think they know everything but... — read more 

Raise a concern and you become the concern. Real classy.

There will be cuts due to the merging of RBU and MCBU. And don't think that you are immune if you aren't in these BUs, there will be a trickle down effect as hi-pots are moved to other teams. Previously announced moves out of these groups are... — read more 

I am kind of new to COP and wondering if my Skype status is used to assess my performance here? I heard that it is used in Houston office unofficially. I try to stay online as much possible but I wonder how this is met by people working in field.

Enjoying your day of bliss?

What were your first impressions of our new leader? What was the core message? What did you read between the lines?

Our new leader is making the line changes that the hockey player was afraid to do. The RBU and MCBU will merge into one BU. Many more Permian assets will be sold because their NPV is worth more on the market than sitting neglected as we focus on... — read more 

Fantastic exploration townhall this afternoon - 3 presenters, 1 accent. Doing great on the inclusion front!

Did we just ADD a layer at the most senior management level?

Wall Street need a pullback so “OPEC” provided the catalyst for that. Get used to that!

I think we are all set on correct path for nothing but positive news only. Do not worry about layoffs here, we are positioned to provide stellar performance. There are no companies out there with lowest BOE/employee number as per reports. Is this for... — read more 

There has been zero talk about layoffs since the announcement about 450 jobs being cut in UK over a month ago. Does that mean that we really are doing much better and we can finally relax and remind ourselves what job security feels like? Or am I... — read more 

Does Bartlesville have a different dress code? I was there last week and noticed very few people wearing business attire. Come on people you are working for a billion dollar oil company!

Besides the office, aircraft, and drill-ship contracts, what other leases have we entered into which we never substantially used? Who has been held accountable for these? Operating costs have gone down company-wide. A significant reason is due to... — read more 

Love how all the PDVSA vs COP drama is unfolding. What a strong CEO to stand up against international bully and getting our stuff back. No other company dared to take such steps.

I suppose they think it confuses and mis-directs people into not pointing out that the emperors have no clothes. Actually, they probably spend a lot of time reviewing posts here hoping someone doesn't call them out personally for their own ineptitude... — read more 

We are so proud of the fact that we have beaten the analyst estimates consistently since many a years. Future is all but bright here for anyone looking for carrier.

Is it easier to make a smaller company turn around then a big company. That is the cause of the stock uptick and positive sentiment we are experiencing. It does not mean the management is good or better than before just less stuff for them to screw... — read more 

All positive spin posts are getting deleted. I think fake news and their followers have taken over. Use your own judgment.

Maybe management can learn a thing or two from this video: Best quote: “if you are a great person, Why do you want to work for somebody you can’t learn anything from?” https://youtu.be/rQKis2Cfpeo Well, I guess it is different. After it is the oil... — read more

Note that 60% shareholders voted against the executive pay at WPP for Sir Martin Sorrell, versus 68% against COP leadership. This says a lot. Yet our response was “we’ll take the vote under advisement...”

ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) says it is cutting ~450 jobs across its U.K. operations by 2020, following its decision to halt oil production in the southern North Sea. COP currently has a total of 1,300 onshore and offshore staff and contractors in the... — read more

What does Canada do at this company?

Mistriously the posting on the discussion is not allowed in last 2 days. What’s going on? Who is controlling this?

Anyone want to place a bet?

So what lessons have we learnt over the last 3 years, that we have learned from and changed to be a better company? What mistakes are we continuing to make, and why?

Anyone want to guess if we will exceed expectations from last year’s vote that our executives are overpaid? No matter the outcome, they will “take this vote under advisement”. I personally am voting against their pay. I’d welcome a vote on TAKING... — read more
