How soon after being laid off do you receive your severance money and unused vacation?

With MF leaving, who’s next to go? It probably doesn’t matter; besides consuming precious company resources they do NOTHING for the company.

COP was a company I thought was one of the last GOOD companies....you know those places you WANT to work at.... I saw zombies walking to and from work and I saw first hand how petty some people were. It was such a let down to see people you... — read more 

The people I know who were cut in the last round have very little in common. Younger, older, good employees, bad employees, different departments... This just confirms my longstanding suspicion that literally nobody here is safe. This is a numbers... — read more 

Things have turned really somber at my location lately. We used to laugh all the time, now the only time that happens is when somebody makes a joke about how c-appy things are these days. How ironic is that? The latest round of layoffs seems to have... — read more 

I just learned that the best instructor we had, arguably the best class I’ve ever taken at work, the instructor was one of the layoff victims. How does that work? We don’t care about teaching anymore? What does that say about our values and how... — read more 

I’m really interested in what effects all these layoffs will have. I’ll manage, but I’m interested in how this company will continue without almost 1,000 of its best people and all of those who will increasingly start leaving on their own after... — read more 

The new emergency order in Anchorage yesterday extended the law to have employees work at home. I guess COPA is above the law? Employees are required to return to the office on 3/14

Shutting down labs and discontinuing air shuttle is scary. I hope nothing else happens for a while.

I have 3 interviews next week. I’m happy because it’s really hard to even get to that stage. I have a good feeling that I will succeed this time, even though I have dozens of failed applications behind me. It seems to me that there are more... — read more 

Does anyone know what the tally was for this round of layoffs? I heard 95 in AK, curious on the numbers for other BU’s.

Look at the history of the oil industry.....hell any industry. These things happen. Demand changes, supply changes, social acceptance changes. I am surprised that it took this long for them to pull the trigger. Where jobs leave here, opportunities... — read more 

I was racing with Conoco whether I'll get laid off sooner or get a new job. Unfortunately, I got laid off sooner than I found a new job. After 14 years here... I have some savings, so for now I’m still not in big trouble, but I’m slowly becoming... — read more 

I am unhappy at COP and I have been for a long while. I've been looking for a new job and I even had a few promising interviews but in the end I decided to stay put. Not sure why, I guess I'm at that age were "better the devil you know than the devil... — read more 

The way these layoffs were done makes it clear that it wasn't about performance or (lack of) experience but it was all about the almighty dollar. Which is a lousy way to run any company. Putting profit above all is guaranteed to destroy the company... — read more 

Everyone beware ! There was an employee in Permian who was laid off WHILE she was home after a near fatal bout with COVID. If they’re heartless enough to do that, they’ll chop anyone’s head off without hesitation.

No matter what the leadership says right now, I'm not discounting more layoffs being thrown our way within the next few months. I don't trust anybody in this company anymore. I wish I could believe we are safe for the foreseeable future but I don't... — read more 

Best be on your toes. Show them SPIRIT values boys and girls!!! You’re being watched. Closely.

Not a single management layoff...dunno whats the grand plan..

and to what extent have you managed to achieve them? I was too naive when I thought I would make a career here. That was my wish and at first I really wanted to work in this company but then the reality hit me. Admittedly, I managed to gain some... — read more 

Good riddance.

Looks like you guys as well as a few other companies are about to make my home values jump. Ha

For now, I’m safe, but I do not consider myself very lucky. I guess we'll wait and see what will happen in the next round under much more difficult working conditions. Don’t waste time thinking about why, as it is not logical and has little to do... — read more 

I am still getting questions about retention bonuses. If you have not received one by now you were not on the list.

The c-ap is getting deep in the Midland office. Little by little as the org chart eeks out, nepotism and favoritism are starting to run rampant. Folks with HR files as thick as the good book are getting promotions. People that were friends yesterday... — read more 

At least you guys don’t work at Apache! Lmao we’re a trainwreck

Just curious on how deep the cuts actually were and if you know of someone who EOI’d that wasn’t accepted? Plenty of people who didn’t EOI were “involuntarily severed” (HR speak) so it made me wonder if people who had EOI’d were kept over people who... — read more 

Does anyone know if competitors were more generous when it comes to layoff packages?

Looks like they intended to lay off the best? A colleague was laid off from whom I learned a lot about work, from whom everyone had a lot to learn. They are not even aware of how much they have lost with this man. And they have certainly laid off... — read more 

Is it over for now

Ok, so. Was there a change of heart? Too much snow? I know we have not even gotten to half the number that was expected. So.... what happened?

Have layoffs met the numbers management communicated?

2 weeks/yr?

When those who deserved a job much more than those who stay get laid off, I wonder how those who stayed feel when they know that they didn't show anything through their work to deserve to stay here? Do mediocre people feel victorious that much better... — read more 

COP was always a c-ap shoot that paid well but the attitude could could drag down Miss America the day of crowning. You will recover and make a life for yourself. Don't blame yourself or others just the times and direction of the world. Things... — read more 

Like many of you, I got the HR call yesterday. Was it unexpected not really and I see it as an opportunity to move on to bigger and better. However, the one thing I did not expect was how enthusiastic the HR person was. She made it sound like I... — read more 

As a former employee of COP, I am here to tell you that there is life after a lay-off. I saw many friends let go, and I saw colleagues let go that were the best at what they did. There isn’t any rhyme or reason to how management makes their... — read more
