With all this negativity I thought why not start a thread of only positive comments about COP. I mean come on we all deserve a pat on back for such phenomenal last year! If you can’t post positive please move along and make your own thread. My 2... — read more 

Occidental is going to buy our swampland campus and we will reorganize and move into EC4. Management has noticed that for similar size companies we have 3 to 4 times and many employees so you better make yourself useful. It appears current thinking... — read more 

Are there layoffs going on this week?

Very simple. Statistically, around 85% of working Americans have a car payment, big mortgage, and loads of other debt such as credit cards or school loans. Then of course there's the details behind these loans, such as over half of Americans s---ered... — read more 

If the two whiners on this site had any guts, I'd recommend some good counselling, instead of sharing their tired old groans here over and over. Please move on. You complain about working at COP, but you wont leave. We'd really be happy if you did... — read more 

Some positions will be eliminated when L48 BU is realigned and we move into EC4. Still indecision on Bartlesville to move it all now or a little at a time. Anybody has any more info on this, per chance?

Anybody else wondering when we can expect more layoff announcements from ConocoPhillips? It's been a bit too quiet lately...

OXY, Chevron, EOG, Pioneer, Apache and now Anadarko either have new offices or are building new offices with amenities like child care, fitness accommodations, cafeterias. Why not us. We want better. We deserve better. This place is a dump.

I was laid off at the end of October in 2017. The VCIP was a part of the package however I have not seen it yet. Has anyone else received their prorated VCIP?

ConocoPhillips greatest company in the world all other companies are run by little girls. ConocoPhillips number ten exporter of bitumen! Other companies have inferior bitumen. ConocoPhillips home of the Bartlesville swimming pool it's length thirty... — read more

"In 2017, extensions and discoveries were primarily due to higher prices at Surmont" WTF? That's not an extension or discovery https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1163165/000119312518049729/d534096d10k.htm

What was the Canada/Corp Payout

Could never find anything as COP, so why not let the real independents find the oil and gas for them. Bloated with idiot management, many hapless facebookers, and senior brown nosers. Let's cheer them on with our "SPIRIT."

Do folks feel rejuvenated and excited after VCIP and “no ECO action” announcement or will we see a mass exodus after pay day? While the extra money is great and keeping colleagues employed is nice.... I can’t help but feel disappointed that the ELT... — read more 

How are you losers going to spin this into bad news?

I was let go in 2017 during the last round of reductions. Part of what I was told during the exit interview was that I'd still qualify for some VCIP when it was announced this year. Now, I just got some mail on Saturday from my wonderful COP HR... — read more

What 10 things could we do, or could the leadership do, to make this place great again?

Don't let the salary adjustment or the VCIP announcement or the price oil distract you from the looming layoffs.

Why is this forum a magnet for old and bitter souls who just can't let go from COP? Continuing to post the same old pointless complaints, but wanting to know how the company is continuing to operate. Some of you even pretend to still work at COP and... — read more 

Any thoughts on what VCIP will be when announced in FEB. Salary increases after that ?

So far, the only employees I've worked with that received the email about the cost of living raise were salary employees. Are hourly employees not receiving this increase?

That brings us to a total of 6% for the last four years! Wake the hell up management! People are walking out the door droves. Going to other companys in the same position, for a 15% salary bump.

Does anyone know if COP will rehire folks who were part of the 2015 - 2016 layoffs? How do you know if you are eligible ?

Well, this is my first week back after several weeks vacation. I thought I'd be re-energized and invigorated. I was. Until I entered the complex. This first week back was so bad. Everyone I talk to thinks this place is horrific. Management is... — read more

I wonder what is going on with ELT? No communication whatsoever on ECHO project? I think we will start hearing after earning call. A note saying timeline will be very considerate to ease off the stress.

I guess oil looking over $60 is enough to distract from the looming reorganization coming at COP?

Happy New Year! It looks like oil price is up to stay and we are working on another boom! May we rise to the occasion and have enough sense to plan for the bust that is sure to follow.

I used to work on a rig up there and heard from a buddy there was another blowout up there this past week. Anyone have news and how big it was?

I don't hold the ELT accountable for product prices. They should be held accountable for poor decisions: Over-spending when the company split and planning only for good times. Believing the lies of Exploration and the biases of country and project... — read more
