Just wondering if the ELT believe that SPIRIT Values really exist or even relevant now. I do not. I'm not sure they ever believed them and they used them to bamboozle the employees.

Forced to retire or legit.legit .. after buying all the bs conoco assets at such an inflated price. Looks like conoco finally did something right

Layoff round 4 (5?) is around the corner but we need to stay focused on delivering our goals and on SPIRIT values. Don't let the background noise distract you. -ELT

Thanks cop ...if Hilcorp had there own page I can imagine it would be blowing up with comments!

That they would let those not chosen in SJ divestiture out early. It has to be torture just sitting with no work in that kind of environment for over a month. Morale is lower than layoff times. Conoco leadership should have to come endure the pain... — read more

Alright. Tomorrow is another glorious Monday. Can't wait. Are you getting your KoolAide mixed up for a new week?

Oil prices in the $40 are here to stay unless Iran attacks Saudi Arabia. If Conoco wants to stop losses and start showing profits per outstanding share more reductions in overhead are required. Closing Bartlesville campus and shifting those tasks to... — read more 

I realize hindsight is 20/20 but wouldn't it have been far easier to spinoff a company with only non-conventional assets; let the ELT members choose which companies to go with and not destroy ConocoPhillips in the process. Would have saved hundreds... — read more 

A lot of value destruction to shareholders. A lot of workforce reduction. A lot of debt incurred. A lot of asset sales. A lot of poor decisions in unconventional shale. May want to use some of the asset sale proceeds to buy off the ELT. May be a good... — read more

Layoffs will start in Bartlesville in October as soon as San Juan asset sale accounting is finished. A large layoff will begin eventually tapering off but never ending until closure next year. Have we thought this through how those tasks will be... — read more

Eaglefart is at it again by framing a completion change as a cost saving measure even though the savings realized on the completion cost will be wiped out by facility costs that are MORE than what would be saved by the change.

As viewed from Houston , it is the field staff that is responsible for the cost overruns whether new drills , recompletions, work overs, facilities, etc, etc, etc. Not worth the expense of relocating field staff to Houston during the upcoming... — read more
