Typical Friday, no one here. Sitting here bored as usual. Was thinking, now that most of those in their 60's are gone, how do we get those in their 50's out of the way? Taking up space and passing time. Am amazed how little they know or contribute... — read more
Uber can get you to Bartlesville from the airport
Uber from the Tulsa airport, and can't get back to the airport for his flight at 6:00PM. No taxi would go to the airport because they didn't want to leave town. The city is addressing some transportation issues. Houston is a city where the young... — read more
Finance Questions
This is indelicate, but our leader has halitosis. Both breath and clothing. I meet with him monthly, and I actually start to cough and gag. I am sure this is due to my sensitivity to cigarette smoke, and he reeks. I've caught him in H&F admiring his... — read more

Is COP future worth sticking around for?!?
I once thought I could make a career at this company but the last couple years have me reconsidering... Management doesn't appear to have the cajones to make needed, difficult decisions. If we truly want to be an independent and change our culture we... — read more
Positive Thoughts
My favorite thing about the sale of SJBU is that most of the ladder climbing invaders from Bartlesville will be called back to the mother ship and we don't have to put up with their snobby ways any longer!
Pioneer buying Bartlesville and Houston campuses
Because that's what true independent company do. Have their own expertise in every aspect of business. Model each and every scenario and loose loads of cash.
This there a legitimate reason we still are keeping contractors?

BP-EXXON.....rumor

RL gets over $100 million cash if COP gets sold. Link to public company report below:
CEO gets $100 million, EVPs get $15-40 million each. Not making this up... it's on the company's website. Look at the 2016 Proxy statement in the investor / company reports section. The entire second half of this 110 page report is dedicated to... — read more

Rumors in San Juan
I have heard rumors: **Bp bought San Juan solely **There is a 3 way sale WPX/BP/LOGOS ** Southern Ute and BP are co buying ** U.S. Continental ** WORST ONE: that we were not sold and that we are Stuck with COP! Any substance to these?
Leadership Team Thoughts
After a long career I am finally gone. I've seen a lot of brown nosing and crooked incompetents promoted to high positions in the company, worked with world class great people, and have spent time with our current leadership team over many years. I'm... — read more
Bartlesville s_cks! I don't think I can stand another year here!
Morale in Bartlesville is pretty low and animosity is high! I hope we get some kind of news from headquarters soon. Any kind of information will be welcome! The suspense of just waiting and waiting is aweful. Some say more than half will get offers... — read more

Overthinking
4 minutes left in the game. Atlanta is ahead by 16 points on the 22 yard line with a first down and a running back averaging 7 yards a carry. Hand it to the running back 3 or more times and kick a field goal and they are world champions. But they... — read more

We don't worry
There are a lots of new busineeses coming to Bartlesville. New shoppin mall and all. We don't worry about layoffs and all the foxes in Houston should just eat their tails now with this news.
Any idea how much COP lost as an independent and not hedging during the downturn?
Most independents realized billions on their hedges in the last few years. And of course, what accountability is there for whoever decided for COP not to hedge and made a multi-billion dollar mistake?
Electric Cars
Whats going to happen to oil prices when electric cars take off?
Is there any way to get out of Bartlesville gracefully?
It is hard to imagine any way COP can leave Bartlesville without the local nasty's hollering foul! It is already starting to come out how nasty they will be. Even if it were done in stages they will try to get publicity and make accusations aimed at... — read more

Seems as though even the trolls got tired of ConocoPhillips, everyone has moved on.
When is RL or DH going to shut the lights out on this thing?
Exiting Bartlesville may be sooner than later!
We heard interesting discussion in Luigi's than several are leaving for Houston very soon. Apparently a realtor from out of town will be handling their homes. We couldn't hear much but the group of about 10 - 12 people with at least five women were... — read more
