I received my final paycheck but my remaining PTO wasn't included. Anyone know if that comes separately?

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 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…

Got laid off two weeks ago and my gas sponsored credit card still works! Thanks. Feel zero regret about it. If COP read this do something and stop all these cards from working on laid off people. Anyhow this is another example of how badly things... — read more 

Curious if anyone in Canada has submitted a counter offer to the severance package. Did you get told to pound sand or did CPC negotiate?

the centralization bias is real

Anyone notice (and maybe you’re one) PetroTechs are being parked in functions across the organization not related to their discipline (IT, Finance, Supply Chain). Park until needed? Waiting for an upturn in activity? I can’t imagine they are very... — read more 

Any word of SGL, salary, VCIP, and RSU changes for individuals moved to new roles? I know some were demoted and informed of compensation changes at the time of that notification, but is everyone else to assume that no changes are coming? Will we... — read more 

I need at least 10 to deal with this layoff. Reparations

What do y’all think of ConocoPhillips laying off hardworking Americans as part of the reorg but retaining H1B employees and even filing for permanent residency. What does that say about how they think of us?

I think my favorite moment from this year was when Ryan had a Town Hall in Bartlesville so they emailed all bartlesville employees reminding them that they need to dress professionally at work and wear things like shoes. How about yall?

Is there any recourse if you didn't EOI?

Imagine not having a smooth rollout to this project after 13 months. Probably a lot more people rolling out after vcip based on how today went

For those that have been around a long time, were EOIs offered in the layoffs before competitive edge, do you think the company will offer EOIs in the next round?

How long does one have to be at COP to keep the companies invested portion of the 401k. I am still in college and currently interviewing for a role here. I've heard it is 3 years but also 5 years? Which is it for full time? Thank you in advance... — read more 

Heard from a buddy in M&A that this is being discussed.

I keep hearing folks whisper about layoffs like it’s something to hide, and I don’t get it. Most of us end up caught in one at some point and it’s got nothing to do with our worth. I’ve been through it myself and the silence only makes everything... — read more 

But that’s just my impression. Not that it makes any real difference. Especially not for the people who just lost their jobs, and not for those of us left behind. I imagine the bleeding will continue.

If you're early or mid career think longer term about the implications of a shrinking oil and gas industry, and where you want to be in the future. This will NOT be the last round of layoffs if history is any guide. Do not wait too late to transition... — read more 

I am fighting off the bitterness because part of me keeps replaying all the signs I ignored. I should have trusted my own instincts when the job stopped feeling right, and I regret not taking that seriously and not leaving on my own terms. It hits... — read more 

Is hr or the boss giving us info on Munday

Anyone know how many people put in for EOI (expression of interest) in Alaska? I heard 99% that put in got one 😃

Are we ready to give our best 20% effort?

Seems Alaska wasn’t hit as hard as other places.

It was not. Don't trust your managers, folks. They'll lie to keep you quiet and cooperative without a second thought.

Work force reduced next up asset sales?

I have read about individuals reportimg GL reductions numerous times on this site. I thought that terms of reassignments won't be communicsted until Monday. Does someone have a crystal ball? I would like to buy one.

Add a quarterly reminder on your phone starting Feb 9 (~ VCIP townhall) to ask your leader how opex per boe has changed since Jan 1 2026 and what are we doing about it. We cannot stop asking this ever. Do not let them surprise you in a few years that... — read more 

My Boss just told me it may not be over. Do they HAVE to wrap this up by a certain day? He said some things are in flux..... But I would be OK.

I believe there’s a lesson here for the Board of Directors. It has to do with leadership accountability, starting with the ELT and cascading all the way down to front line management…. If nothing else, the BOD should have some questions about why... — read more 

Well folks, it’s been a wild week out here on the range. Rumors gallopin’ faster than a spooked jackrabbit, whispers in every cubicle corral, and folks hidin’ under their desks like coyotes in a hailstorm. But today, I bring word straight from the... — read more 

Has anyone been explicitly told that their team is done?

Anyone know if this department has been through the downsizing yet?

I know I’m going to. The urge to start job hunting right away is strong, but after everything we’ve been through, you’ll thank yourself for taking a little time to breathe, reset, and get your head straight before diving back in. I'm speaking from... — read more 

Please be mindful of colleagues in other groups who have not been notified yet.

Laid off in Canada at 56. This blows. Going through LinkedIn, it looks like there were a lot of us “of a certain age” that were let go.

I have been in similar shoes and I just want to send my words of encouragement out to everyone experiencing the potential grief this week. I call it grief because that’s what it is—a loss of a life, job, career, leaders, coworkers you once held... — read more 

Anyone know how Bartlesville is fairing in the layoffs?

I was laid off Monday — in a 30-second phone call. What doesn’t make sense is watching people with multiple ethics violations in a year keep their jobs. I guess being close with HR has its perks. It’s frustrating when the people meant to protect... — read more 

Alright folks, this is the entire point of this website. Post what you know about what groups have been hit and how bad it is.
