Why have they laid off good local employees but kept expats (in Houston)? I thought expats were expensive?

Has anyone received unemployment checks yet?

I was one of those killed on April 1. Have been roughly treated and am still very surprised that COP has not yet leveled with the outside world that they have done layoffs (I don't mean the tiny ones in Norway, Canada, or B'ville). Just one cryptic... — read more 

The Mid-Continent BU of the U.S. lower 48 seems to have laid people off based upon the VP's personal agenda and/or age & salary basis. Did other areas do the same, or was this a personal decision by a "leader"who refuses to take any personal... — read more 

Has anybody received their personal items yet? Is ConocoPhillips going to steal from soon-to-be former employees, or are supervisors, managers and HR even lazier that I thought? I start a new job on Monday, and would have liked to have received my... — read more

I am so glad I no longer work for COP. I got laid off 6 years ago. I got 60 weeks pay and took the lump some at the best time possible. I took another job with another major 2 months later, so basically got double pay for 40 weeks. Thank you COP!!!

Wonder how long until the next layoff? I don't think we will have to wait till the 4th quarter. This company is in trouble.

Everything that I have looked at indicates that people over 50 were targeted for layoffs whether or not they were ready to retire. The specific group that I've reviewed had a career of 30+ years of service. The people were not complacent, had strong... — read more

Why do they continue to hire more people to the Bartlesville Finance organization amid the layoffs?

Who's on the chopping block for next week?

Has anyone heard any specifics on how the company is going to reach it 1 billion in savings in operating costs? The company has stated that they are going to reduce cost by 1 billion by 2016. I understand some of that savings will come from... — read more 

I heard people talking about late May or early June. Do you think that we might be having another round of layoffs this soon?

Long time dedicated employee, many friends at work, travelled to and lived in various places in the world for my job of 35+ years. Made it through a few of these oil related downturns over the years so I have nothing to complain about in that realm... — read more 

Have watched game of thrones now a couple of times. The layoffs at COP may be following the same plot as the series, which is summarized below. Declare some of the people as being unnecessary or somehow bad Get rid of them, starting with the lower... — read more 

So, after watching the analysts meeting, and seeing so many COP staff updating their linkedIn pages after getting laid off, it sure does look like more job cuts are going to be needed. Unless you are working on one of the blessed projects, or are... — read more 

have they started telling who is getting laid off yet?? thought this last week they would know?

I'm relatively new to the company, under 5 years, and I've received a job offer with another company. Same discipline but different field (out of oil and gas). Comparable pay, but a lot higher with benefits. It will require a long commute until I can... — read more 

Does anyone know if layoffs started in Watkins, Co (Niobrara).

Let's try to capture some options here.

An example of ethics according to ConocoPhillips.

But if you're a 20+ year hand and you have been coasting by, not actually actively contributing to the continued success of this company, relying on your years of service and"loyalty" to guarantee your continued paycheck, I'm glad you're gone. This... — read more

In general, I have not seen any performance driven lay-offs. Good, loyal employees of 30-40 years are being laid off in lieu of young, non-proven employees. It is great to build a young workforce, but in my opinion, it would have "helped" the young... — read more 

Doesn't make sense. COP is still hiring more new hires this summer.

What happened in Midland today? We heard a rumor that some people were let go, but nothing solid. Also heard that it would be from today until Friday. We're all on edge. No one on our team has been with COP longer than a couple of years. We don't... — read more 

Layoffs have begun in Houston today and I am bracing for the worst. All affected so far are in my thoughts and prayers.

Layoffs started this morning.
