I was laid off last October. Didn't think it would happen to me since I had great reviews, but the selection process remains a mystery to most people. I had less than 5 years with the company so the severance package was not that great. I'm an... — read more

Today's townhall was a heck of a display of ego and self acclimation, all they accomplished was congratulating each other on being masters of the universe. Gotta keep the shareholders (themselves) happy never mind the rest of us we are expendable... — read more 

Hell I'm so glad I tuned in to that sh!t show today. I finally found out where wells come from. Who da thunk it!

Before the merger of equals both companies were valued very closely, Phillips was given premium to make it happen. With the merger, then acquisition, followed by a spin off, we ended up way more employees than a independent needs or can support. We... — read more

Townhall=no new info. If you want to do right by your employees cut to the chase and tell each B.U or Asset what amount they are being reduced by and get started. September is still too far away...what a joke.

Pray you don’t get laid of this coming round. I have heard friends in Houston and other areas that are able to land jobs (not saying it’s easy), but in Calgary nobody is hiring. Friends in HR tells me for an engineering job, she gets 600 minimum... — read more 

It's time to drop Phillips for our name and shut down Bartlesville. We no longer need or can afford Bartlesville. When we spun off Phillips we spun off our ties to Bartlesville and the Phillips name.

Leadership, management, layoffs, shareholder returns, adhering to SPIRIT values, reservoir performance, debt, finance, competition, etc.

If the performance of your CEO and the Company aren't anywhere near that of their peers, what's the logical next step?

Why don't they wipe out that little brown sh!t stain of a poor excuse for a town up there, what's it called, Bartlesville?? Who needs all them monkeys up there to come up with actual data when we got that other useless group down in the anus of... — read more

From a Wells Town Hall (Hole?) Meeting last year. This will remain my most enduring memory of this whole sad wasted chapter of my life.

I just checked the box and submitted my EOI. Good luck to all that remain and all whose lives are changed during this time.

How much downsizing should be done besides deep water?

The company will be handing out free jars of vaseline to the first 300 people in the door! Tank yew vewwy much. Whammy!!!

I have worked more than 6 years and i am wondering if i can cash put the pension when i am let go...

From my experience, if you are laid off immediately roll over your pension. There are yearly deadlines and you do not want to miss one. You can roll it over to an IRA were you should be able to get a much higher rate of return. You can do the same... — read more 

Just have that sinking feeling in my gut this time. I heard last time was 3 weeks severance plus 4 weeks per year of service. Is that still true or has it been lowered?

$43.13 management better wake up and plan for lower than $45. Oil stocks tank again.

Back four years ago we had people standing around looking at each other and not needed. Had all these essential personnel positions that was policy and oh they were not essential after all. The company pissed away all the capital when times were... — read more 

I guess someone didn't like the comments on the D&C folks. Did it hit too close to home? Don't like what the employees really think of you?

Isn't it sickening, that Lance and his cronies makes millions, while throwing people and their families to the street? Why does he deserve $21 million - for laying off thousands? He reminds me of the Italian Captain, who was the first to run away... — read more 

Most of that was done last year...it could get ugly this go round

Looks like the Bulls have ran out of ammo

Who's with me??

Too big. Too much cash. Pain in the short run? Yes. Bankrupt? No. Just keep working hard, if you make it through layoffs you should be ok.

When a CEO lies to his investors and then lies to Wall Street; it's just not very likely that he's not going to lie to his employees as well. He's a carnival barker and we're all the dumb schmucks in the crowd with our mouth's wide open falling for... — read more
