Are there any updates on what functions/groups/teams will be hit the hardest in Alaska? Who should be packing up?

It is hard to believe that Alaska has much potential left due to high operating expenses.

As we get closer to showtime, what are some smart things to do if your name ends up getting called? This can be tax stuff, general networking, etc. Based on what I have seen on this site plus common sense, here is what I have gathered. Wait... — read more 

Do our immediate supervisors kno.whom is being laid off yet

I predict the sale of the Montney Gas Plants to a mid-stream operator.

If im laid off can I take my pay out next yeat

We’re talking about suits, government administrations… oh my!!! Be honest to yourself! why do you think this industry pays so well? Because we’re smarter than everyone else? No. It’s because we’re supposed to deal with downturns. This is oil &... — read more 

Let’s start a discussion about what people are doing to prepare. I am sitting on my behind not doing anything just hoping I make it.

Ryan “poorly tailored suits” Lance, CEO of ConocoPhilllips, stated "We probably plateau later this decade," Lance said. "It's going to be slow decline beyond that, because there's a lot of resource." What’s your technical perspective or intuition... — read more 

If there’s no real strategy or bigger plan and, more importantly, if leadership can’t adapt effectively to fast-changing circumstances, none of these layoffs or reorganizations will mean anything. My confidence in their ability to steer through the... — read more 

Anyone else notice the trend? CEP internal emails keep getting picked up by Reuters as their exclusive story. Latest was Canada. Surprised US hasn’t hit the news yet and just waiting for the Reuters Exclusive on that one… Thoughts?

Can we all just agree that the upcoming layoffs are noting more than CP being greedy?

Existing operating model was developed after covid when they acquired a company. ConocoPhillips was a great company before but that 4 to 1 ratio in the Permian, compromised the core. The need to liquidate the artesia New Mexico office and part of... — read more

Any news on whether this will be a part of the 2025 Houston holiday line up? This tradition has been in place for 56 years, would the company dare to stop doing this due to current environmental? Or are they just waiting until after the layoffs to... — read more 

Yesterday afternoon, facilities put a large stack of moving boxes, tape, and markers outside of every floor at Anchorage ATO. 3 weeks before layoffs start lol. Good thing class isn't a spirit value

From a former Marathon employee who experienced the anxiety last year, I know how hard it is. The impression given was Conoco is a good company trying to do right by people but the operating model needs significant change to stay competitive. This is... — read more 

Think of the most incompetent people you work with. Your peers, supervisors, their supervisors - they are staying. No promotions, no raises, no 9/80s.

Just announced...November 5.

zero communication so far

As it turns out, that career path was just a revolving door disguised as opportunity. You blink, and the next round of layoffs wipes out another crew. It’s too bad we all bought into the stability myth. All of us should’ve seen the writing on the... — read more

Rumor has it they are considering temporarily pausing the 9/80 program after 2025 due to staffing concerns post layoff. Only because we may be short handed until they get work group staffing figured out. It would only be temporary - it’s a good... — read more

I wonder how much money the company will save by this round ? You can easily bust the savings by wrong decisions on 1-2 projects due to loss of the key skills. I hope the bang is worth the buck.

I have a feeling that if I get let go in the coming round, the overwhelming feeling will actually be relief. Maybe that’s just me coping, but I’ve been fed up with this place for so long that it overshadows everything else.

It’s wild how many leaders here have big titles but no idea what they’re doing. It's amazing how we have to spend half our time fixing their messes.

It’s that time again. I won’t go first. Mine lasted only a day last time. Then the censors cleared it.

Why are people on this lay-off site not criticizing the CEO?

What’s going to happen that day? Are they going to escort people out then and there or will people suddenly be called to a meeting and instantly canned? Will they tell them they have 3 weeks left of work before the canning? Will the contractors be... — read more 

We've already had 2 departments completely outsourced that I know of and sounds like they are seeing what else can be.

There are a number of posts on this site - possibly all by the same person - that make it sound like management is out to sc--w over the workers. Let me assure you, most managers hate this process. Sure, there are a small number of easy decisions... — read more
