went over like a fart in church to the wall street analysts. Likely because it's not strategic and everything he does is reactive and a couple years too late. The COP Board isn't very talented, but even they're figuring it out the Company is falling... — read more 

Writing in caps doesn't help get your point across or emphasize anything. It just makes you look like a retard.

They said San Juan is a mature asset and better suited to to maximize value from it as a field production operation. One manager with foremen/department heads reporting directly. All other management positions eliminated. Some will be offered... — read more 

So I see all these post about who should go, who should stay, technical expertise, support functions - what COP lacks is LEADERSHIP at every level in the organization. Just because you have supervisor, manager, etc. in your title does not mean you... — read more 

Didn't management want the company to become like a true independent? Did it happen? Sure doesn't sound like it. Somebody failed? That person or persons should be held accountable.

Well we all knew this was eventually going to happen, but I have it from reliable sources that COP is a takeover target for ExxonMobil. This will be announced at the beginning of 2017.

Now that I am watching from the outside, It is quite entertaining to watch those hot sh--s who think they're so good squirm and struggle. Let the panic seep in ya losers! Keep burning!

Seems like it would be good for the company to run a perpetual EOI, so that people that get tired of it can quit at any point in time with severance.

Most of the Geologist, Drilling Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Completion Engineers are costs at this point in time. They are actually very expensive (high salaries) and also replaceable. We should do away with them now and rehire or replace them... — read more 

Well, you screwed the pooch big time, haven't you. You must be a real fan of movies to have Purge 1 (April 2015), Purge 2 (October 2015) and heading into the sequel Purge-Election Year. How appropriate. I survived, or should I say suffered through... — read more

In Don Hrap's L48 townhall today, he said there would be 6% layoffs globally and 12% layoffs within L48, equating to 350-380 people getting let go in L48. He also said we are currently staffed for 25 rigs but plan to staff for 12 rigs. Does laying... — read more 

Company is losing billions, will 6% make a difference or are they just delaying more cuts in 6 months time?
