Thread regarding ConocoPhillips layoffs

"I've always been rated a 1 or 2."

"You guessed it, I got a 3 even though I had an awesome year."

Fast! Go grab a tissue! You must be male because this company only seems to reward or promote employees that have junk between their legs.

1's and 2's every year? Whose bum have you been crawling up? Only the best a-- kissing conformers get those kinds of ratings at COP. Actual hard work is not recognized.

"Leadership competencies." As if we need additional leaders.

Better yet is when management are claiming they are being fair in their assessment and the an employee finds his/her assessment is based on leadership competencies (which are seldom communicated in advance)

COP is a huge legacy company that missed the train for improvement ....... Old Schools never last

Ratings are also bogus. I've never cared about them. All you need to do is your best, and then don't worry about the rating, other than to know if you get a "needs improvement" they're planning to let you go. The system is not as it appears, but rather it is manipulated to manipulate the employee.

Yes it does s---. And loyalty means nothing to the company. Just because it means something to some person above you doesn't mean someone else above you won't force you out anyway. Loyalty is a meaningless wird with this company. Do what is in your best interest, because when the time comes, they'll do exactly the same. Had I not been so naive, I'd have heeded this same advice, which was given to me years ago, and I've have already been gone to a better company prior to being layed off.
