Additional bonus?
I heard from two friends at a conference that they received additional bonuses this year due to unusually better finances in oil and gas. One of the friend works at Total and other in Oxy. I heard Oxy paid 5% to all employees in addition to their... — read more

XOM
Pretty scathing article on Exxon - good read: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-10-13/exxon-xom-jobs-exodus-brings-scrutiny-to-corporate-culture What do you think? What parallels do you see with COP? I personally don’t see as much... — read more
Fraternization
Does this company have a fraternization policy regarding relationships at work?
CAsh out pensions before bust
Anyway to cash out the cashbalance accrued without leaving company ? I heard UK pension bond funds were almost wiped out with trillon dollars overnite. We are a couple of blocks down that road.
Chief Geo retired - anyone care?
Subsurface Chiefs are at first level supervisor level, not a strong endorsement of their worth from the company. Steadily demoted the last decade. Are these vanity positions, anachronistic empty titles?
UW
This company puts in so much effort and time with UW. We always tout the $$s donated, but don't mention the overhead that goes into the annual program. I wouldn't be surprised if we spent 1/2 of what was brought in through donations via free lunch on... — read more
What price per barrel will trigger another round?
Any guesses? Will it be $50? $20? $5?
CEO for a Day
If you could be CEO of COP for a day, what changes would you make? Me, I would get rid of end of the year ratings. In my experience does more harm than good. I would allow the Mark awards value to be increased and those could substitute where... — read more
Headcount: How many executives and 'lab' people visited Alaska office this summer?
Headcount: How many executives and 'lab' people visited Alaska office this summer on trips paid by the Company, which turned into personal fishing and vacation trips?
Changes to WFH
Has anyone heard if the IT “trial run” of working from home full time is influencing changes to the policy so that all office workers can be remote?
Coasting at work
How easy is it for you to coast at work and not get any real work done? I find that I feel guilt for doing this, but then I wonder how many other people are doing the same thing? Now we have a pinball machine to distract, making this an even easier... — read more
Earning Are Up & COP Still Cuts My Pension By 10%
I had to find out from a local magazine that my pension is being cut. https://lifestyle.countrylegends1059.com/story/46954693/exxonmobil-conocophillips-employees-face-the-biggest-pension-drop-in-a-generation
The Grass is Greener…
Plus you no longer work for this poisonous back-stabbing hypocrisy-filled company. https://www.wsj.com/articles/inflation-switch-jobs-more-money-fed-atlanta-data-11658699425
Should I work here?
I am a current Exxon employee that is being recruited for a role at COP. I figured a good way to judge a company is to see what the angriest people are saying anonymously. Honestly, your complaints sound just like what is on the Exxon Layoff page... — read more
Skills have become the least important
It bothers me terribly, because this was once a company where those with the most expertise were the most valued, and today it is the exact opposite. Perhaps I'm wrong, but somehow it seems to me that this is becoming a place for the greatest... — read more
Some are quite convinced that there will be no layoffs for a while
I hope they are right?
No external job postings
With all of the comments that have been posted on this site and a lot of people writing about the high number of people leaving, I was surprised to see there there are zero posting externally. Is COP preparing for the recession, or is something else... — read more
12% for thee not for me
12% salary adjustments for contingent and contractors. Contacts are all being amended in the AKBU. Are the other BUs doing the same? What about the employees? Are we just chump change? Increase the AK Market Factor above 15%? Increase COLA?... — read more
The future of Conoco
I think that we are concerned with the future of this company more than our leaders are. It may sound harsh, but sometimes I think that they don't think about the future of this company at all. Are there any signs that they are actually interested in... — read more
COP ALaska Office should be close.
Stop the bleeding, the COP Alaska should closed, and all their POS moved to Permian!
Why does YEE = age minus 18?
I don't understand how age is a part of the increase or promotion process. Can anyone explain?
Cost of Living
Any rumors of COP is going to give a salary increase due to inflation? Exxon gave a raise early June of 3%. That’s not much but at least they got something.
More then just CEOs at COP
with this issue... systemic problem throughout the company. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackmccullough/2019/12/09/the-psychopathic-ceo/?sh=e198c3791e30
Recession is coming, layoffs to follow?
Will history repeat itself, again? Every time the economy dives, our leadership’s response is to reduce headcount. What does Q3-4 have in store for us?
ConocoPhillips is Woke, not Energy.
Instead of focusing on energy this company has decided to embrace social woke change. Move over Disney and All State, here comes woke COP.
It's like working in a completely different company
Now that I look back on how it was when I first got a job here, this seems like a completely different company to me. In a negative sense, unfortunately. It worries me what all this will look like in a few years
Question for concho people at COP
Curious to hear from some concho people, I myself left on my own accord after the merger for some background context on myself. I've heard some grumblings from people but nobody likes change that's for sure as well. Concho was a great place to work... — read more
Conoco can hardly attract talent anymore
It looks like the company no longer has the capacity to attract capable, young people. Perhaps Conoco doesn't even want talents anymore?
How happy are you after leaving ConocoPhillips
I have got to say I was a little nervous when ConocoPhillips sold LCGP but after working for Contango it’s the best feeling in the world! COP is a trash company, you don’t realize it until you work for a smaller company. Less management and we don’t... — read more
Five-fold profit leap
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/conocophillips-reports-first-quarter-2022-110000553.html Unfortunately, I don't have any hopes that we will somehow benefit much from the fact that Conoco reported a five-fold increase in profit from a year ago... — read more

My posts keep getting sensors on this site despite there being nothing in the T&Cs against what I am writing other than it goes against the liberal agenda. Real close to quitting site for good.

Overworked, never enough. Feel like a failure to my coworkers, my family. I want the feeling to stop. I want the pain to stop.
Annual Merit Increase
Curious how people are feeling about the annual merit increase this year that averaged 3.5% company wide, while inflation rages at 7.9% y-o-y at the last reading? Essentially, the average employee got a 5% decrease in purchasing power for 2022. Will... — read more
