@az I’m the OP. I am an employee, and didn’t receive the email. I am not located in Texas.
@se as far as I know only Houston employees got it. There are numbers that trigger the requirement and not all sites will get it. Doesn't mean there won't be cuts though.
I am an employee and work in Midland. I checked for a lot of time and did not get the letter in email. I am wondering if they will send by mail.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN)
Frequently Asked Questions
Updated Sept. 4, 2025
- What is WARN?
• WARN is the acronym used for the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The intent of this federal law is to protect employees, their families and communities by requiring employers with 100 or more employees to provide 60-calendar-day advance notification to potentially affected employees of plant closings and/or significant layoffs.
• WARN requires that notice also be given to the local chief elected official, like the mayor, the state workforce commissions and to union officials if there is a union. - By receiving the WARN notice, does that mean I will be laid off or that my position will be eliminated?
• This is a legally required letter; however, it does not necessarily mean that your position will be impacted
• The communication serves to notify employees of a certain level of job reductions 60 days before planned reductions will occur.
• If your position is impacted, you will be notified in accordance with the dates included in the notice. - If I didn't receive a WARN notice, does this mean I will not be impacted?
• Not necessarily. Because we anticipate reaching the legal threshold in the Houston area, we're required to send a WARN notification, giving the potentially affected group 60-calendar-day advance notice.
• However, if you did not receive a WARN notice that does not necessarily mean that your position will not be impacted. A WARN notice may not be required for your affected group or location if the legal thresholds were not triggered. Additionally, the impact on individual jobs will vary depending on several factors including business needs. - When will employee notifications take place?
• Most employee status notifications, including notice as to whether an EOl has been accepted, will begin early November. Please note timing may differ by BU and will be communicated locally - What does "employment end date" mean?
• Employment end date refers to the last day an employee is on the ConocoPhillips payroll - Will impacted employees be asked to work until their employment end date?
• Depending on the circumstance or role, some employees may be asked to work some or all of their notice period to provide transition or close-out duties. If applicable, the request to work during your notice period will be made during the severance notification meeting. - If my position is eliminated, will I qualify for severance?
• It depends. Please reference the following resources for more information:
• ConocoPhillips U.S. Severance Pay Plan

Eligible U.S. employees can also access the ConocoPhillips U.S. Severance Pay Plan Education guide in Workday. Please note, this optional resource provides employees with information on the U.S. Severance Pay Plan and the impacts of a layoff to compensation and benefits programs. This resource is for educational purposes only.

WARN Act Notice Houston
Sept. 4, 2025
This notice is being given to comply with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 ('WARN'). WARN requires that employers provide written notice to employees who may reasonably be expected to experience a covered employment loss.
In late October 2024, we shared that we would start a global effort to become more cost efficient across the organization, and we anticipated workforce reductions would take place as part of those efforts. While workforce decisions are being made, we are sending this notice to all employees at the ConocoPhillips Houston offices at
925 N. Eldridge Pkwy, 935 N. Eldridge Pkwy and 16930 Park Row to ensure we satisfy any obligation that may exist under WARN
The intent of this notice is to alert you that your position with ConocoPhillips may be terminated as part of these workforce reductions. ConocoPhillips has not yet determined which individuals will be separated. Based on the best information currently available, ConocoPhillips anticipates that employee separations as a result of these reductions may occur at some point in Q4 2025. These employee separations will be permanent. It is possible that ConocoPhillips could ultimately not trigger WARN, in which case, this notice is being provided to you voluntarily.
Receipt of this notice does not necessarily mean that your position will be impacted. You will receive more definitive information about the status of your employment at a future date. While several factors will influence reduction decisions, seniority will not be a factor in the staffing process as there are no bumping rights.
At this time, we anticipate the layoff notifications to begin as early as Nov. 10, 2025, with employment end dates to occur beginning the week of Dec. 1, 2025.

We appreciate your patience as we finalize these workforce decisions.
Only Houston employees got the notice
@az not all employees got the email. Not all employees live in Texas.
