Thread regarding ConocoPhillips layoffs

Positivity

I know it feels really crappy right now I am not some random troll who never worked here or did and no longer does , I am in it neck deep like the rest of you and there are not just random days when I wish I wasn't here. Over the course of the last 6 months there has not been a single day that I was happy to be at work not 1 and if anyone above my pay grade actually cared they would not just assume its bad they would have their ears to the ground where us common workers work they might actually get a clue to its depth. The thing about all this ugly we are currently swimming in is that it doesn't effect the people you are upset with, it only hurts you and probably your family if you are a normal human being that sometimes takes their stress with them when they go home. In reality all that hurt and worry your dealing with won't end once they tell us who has bought us or even if you get to stay the worry will continue on so you have to approach it day by day some days like today hour by hour. You can calculate how much money they paid you to put up with their bs today and then take minimum wage and calculate what someone made today to clean toilets for the same amount of time, reality check it is part of why we are so well paid. Hang in there it should be over soon and I know people are going to talk trash but I don't really give 2 squats because I know the life style I have is because of COP and I am realistic but greatful I dont have to use coupons or decide which bill not to pay this time around or tell my kids they can't have. So get paid that one more day let them over pay you for what very little work is actually getting done these days because of the worries we have are taking priority.

***Although a dang breakfast burrito every now and then wouldn't probably break the bank while we sulk just saying.

Yeah good idea. Let's put a new coat of paint on this sinking ship. Sure is gonna look nice and turn things around in the right direction. People will see that we really care.

Or................

Continue to bash and complain about everyone and everything. Release some of that anger and frustration. Yes, let the hate flow through you.

What sounds like more fun? The dark side. Every time.

We do icecream all the timw its no big deal if you want to shower us with affection before slaughter come at us with something special like:

**Prime Rib dinner at the Civic Center like we used to.

**All Fridays off until Sale goes through.

**Mandatory monthly employee bonding off site including contractors. Not team because you and I both know half the managers wont do it causing even more of a rift between people.

**give everyone a COP jacket bag hat cup etc..normally reserved for those that are deemed special by the closet keeper. Let everyone enjoy the brand we wont need it after long.

**MOST IMPORTANTLY stop I repeat STOP sending out lame emails saying we did not sell blah blah don't listen to rumors etc...we all know whats going down coworkers are getting their new marching orders in other states, your on the downlow reorg in San Juan is not very "down low" and is a pure waste of time. Hey lets move this person from 1 useless position to an equally useless position just stop noone needs extra mso's , receptionsist, or planner schedulers leave it alone until the sale goes down, the only work going on around the place is work that surrounds the sale so to send out that email was so lame you basically just called everyone dumb to their face. Can't you sit back like previous leaders and just be quiet until the deed is already done instead of feeding us spoonfuls of poo? I know Houston leaves you no choice on being truly transparent we all bare our different burdens in the name of money but at the very least Don't lie directly to our faces no one respects a liar and we ALL see through the crap.

@MDCLFiC-rpu. It's so hilarious that you think that your not a troll lol YOU DONT WORK HERE ANYMORE why on Gods Green earth do you come to this site and post still if you are lucky enough to be free why aren't you off being free? As far as the back stabbing well that is never going to stop...ever so you have two options #1 dont play the game move on and be happy or #2 stay on field and play the game. Those witches spent years scheming flaunting their "assests" and guzzled many a beer to get to where they are now. I can only guess they were this way long before they started here and possibly even like that in school so they have had ninja level training at the crap they pull, if you think the sale of our asset is going to shake them off their game you are high. They will be just fine. P.s. who uses the word jig anymore I mean honestly

How about those who use to work there for YEARS and do not anymore, you call us trolls! Seriously! How about all that are still there that stabed coworkers in the back to save their skin. I'm not talking about all but a good majority. I don't feel bad for a lot of you now feeling the pain of loosing your job. For those decent people I send you a hug, for the others I hope you enjoy the unemployment line. I did a jig when I heard the news. The end is here for COP 👍

I feel for a lot of people, I still have a lot of friends there. I found myself miserable last year and left the company on my own terms. I am much happier back where I was before I came on to COP. I took a job that pays a bit less than I was making at COP but the stress relief and overall happiness is so worth it. I can never say I didn't better myself for the five years I spent there but there comes a time when you have to make that jump for your sanity. Luckily I work in IT and am not dependent on oil/gas. Friends, family, and quality of life is where it's at. It was time to concentrate on the important things in life.
