Asian women are the best!

Lol. Wow. Diverse to you means two women and cities all over Oklahoma. I can't stop laughing. Come to Houston and you'll see diverse. In my pod there's a white male. Hispanic woman. White woman. Asian woman.
Saw a group of COP managers go into EC 4. Thinking they were measuring for new draperies. Anyone know what is going on?
@KqDV2aM Are we seriously to believe that the fact that you work with 2 women from Oklahoma means that Bartlesville is diverse? Hahaha. I hope this was a joke.
Bartlesville is a great place to work. After a couple of months you can get in good with the girls in the mail room.
Offer transfers and relocation cost coverage to employees in both locations and see which way is preferred! Houston to Bartlesville or Bartlesville to Houston. Even better! Do a secret vote with everyone and let that determine the direction!
Even better idea would be to shutdown any high cost Houston services and office costs then offer no-relocation pay tranfers to the more efficient Oklahoma offices.
Exactly the point!
If the best option is to avoid Bartlesville then shut it down and transfer us to Houston! About 30% of the jobs can be eliminated as they are support services that already exist in Houston. The yearly savings would be significant if they can ever break away from the old home town!
Bartlesville is noted as the family environment. Houston is noted as the work environment. Individuals happy with living in Bartlesville more often than not have never lived elsewhere. Individuals with a focus on career should not expect to live in Bartlesville for an extended period of time. As a rule if you are in Bartlesville for more than 2-3 years the career is at a dead end. Job prospects at ConocoPhillips or elsewhere are limited if you have lived in Bartlesville for more than 2-3 years. ConocoPhillips does extend a warm welcome of sorts to the diverse staff; Bartlesville does not extend a warm welcome of sort to the diverse staff. The diverse staff are better off living in Tulsa if the employer of choice is in Bartlesville. Overall the best option to to avoid Bartlesville altogether.
1sba has obviously never been blessed to have worked or lived here and probably couldn't be happy no matter where he/she is located. It's one of the better locations that COP is located in. We all have concerns given the current financial challenges COP is facing just like any other location but it's the individual who decides on attitude. Chose a positive one.
Bartlesville - terrible work environment with dead end prospect. The only things the teams do together is stab each other in back in pathetic attempt to get ahead and be ranked higher to survive! Very little diversity is allowed and watch us now that forced ranking is coming back again. Moral is in the toilet with only hope being possible transfer.
If by chance you feel comfortable in a small non-diverse environment in a state without funding for education or child welfare... go for it. As noted in the previous poster, if you are from the immediate area you may or may not feel comfortable in Bartlesville. For the most part individuals from outside of Oklahoma hate Bartlesville. The previous HR VP initiated diversity initiatives including the LGBT organization. The current HR VP initiated layoffs of the members of the LGBT organization. In the bad times the organization reverts to the small town Bartlesville mentality. If the opportunity exists to go elsewhere please do go elsewhere.
I love it here. We are all friends and we do things together outside of work on the weekends. I see everyone at church and at social events. It is like an extended family. The job is ok, and our level of work load has dropped a lot in the last 6 months, but people are relaxed. Morale is both up and down but most feel secure they will have a job now that oil prices have stabilized. Diversity is great as I work with two women on our team of 10 and we all come from different citites of the Oklahoma region. All is good.
