http://hrcpdocctr.conocophillips.com/Documents/2016_Annual_Enrollment/HR_Benefits_Zmag.pdf
ELT plan is to layoff 10% but to mentally torture all 100% workforce (to compensate for losses due to low oil prices)

What do you think COP needs to change?
If you were CEO of ConocoPhillips what one thing would you change in order to make the company profitable again?
Disappointing to see the L48 kept the same incompetent senior leaders and expect things to change in how we do business
The remaining L48 senior managers were proven to be incompetent when they had to be told how to reduce costs and how to be efficient. Hrap, Harding and King led to the problems, and now they survived the layoffs and the workers following thier orders... — read more

Any insight on why we have hired so many engineers in Permian Unconventional?
