Men in Black
Why all the security this morning at SP1?
Expect more COP layoffs in 2026 and 2027
They've been telling you all that there are more coming. More outsourcing. More cost cutting.
The company is running on fumes! RL hs layer off anyone with vision or strategy!
Moving towards a sale!
Moving Day
Today is the day that many folks in SP1 are moving offices. What is the intent of the office building reshuffles? Will space be sublet out or is this just to free up space for future growth?
Gone Quiet
Its awfully quiet on here. . . . where did everyone go? Is everyone emotionally exhausted from last year?

Town Hall
What is tomorrow's townhall going to be all about? It's terrible fearing ELT meetings because I used to look forward to them. Fear is probably the new norm after what we all went through last year.
North slope exit
Watch the development funding for kaparuk and alpine get significantly reduced in 2027 as COP moves towards an exit from Alaska. Only selling point will be Willow.
White Collar
If we don't stand up soon we will all be laid off. Its time to unionize all White Collar jobs!
VCIP
Anyone want to share what the percentage was for those of us who got CEPed last year? Thanks!
Kaparuk
Operations generally strive to perform well so the company will see the value they bring and not put them up for sale. Kaparuk uses the strategy of performing poorly and constantly whining and complaining so no one will buy them and ConocoPhillips... — read more

Any murmurs of COP reorganization and possible divestment of North Slope assets?
Ryan at the WH Today
For more than 20 years he looks good. But we who know him, know otherwise. Look up The Peter Principle and there’s a picture of Ryan. Chevron and XOM (and everyone else) will get things done.
RL heading to Venezuela
On Face the Nation, Marco Rubio stated that Ryan Lance and Wirth from Chevron will visit Venezuela this week to determine what’s needed to increase production
ConocoPhillips & Venezuela
In 2007 Chavez nationalized all heavy oil. Two of which were Petrozuata and Corocoro that were ConocoPhillips. Venezuela was ordered to pay CP, call it $9 billion for damages. Do you think with the recent US will run Venezuela, CP will be looking to... — read more
New Beginnings

WTI is at $55.62!!!!!
Oil futures are pointing to lower prices. COP will be struggling financially given the downward pricing direction. How do you think senior leadership will lead us through these challenging times?
Midpoint Question
I'm new this past yr to conocophillips and a coworker told me that he doesn't get raises because he is beyond his midpoint. Is this true or is he whinning?

Pay rises
Pay rises ? Anyone heard or will it be a company wide no increases for 26
Last pay and PTO
I received my final paycheck but my remaining PTO wasn't included. Anyone know if that comes separately?
North Slope unionizing
I am typically not a fans of unions, but I think it’s pretty hilarious if the North Slope field staff unionizes in response to the continued incompetence and favoritism displayed by company leadership.
How many COP employees laid off in batch 1? How’s the morale at work
How many staff employees were laid off in this latest cycle? Predicted staff to be layed off in 2026? What’s the morale at work at the moment? It appears that those laid off are rather silent at the moment…
