Is there even a small chance that this will be performance based? Or are they going to focus on numbers once again and lay off people who are higher earners?

Why did CP announce layoffs the better part of a year before it was scheduled to happen? Answer: To create a culture of fear to squeeze harder work and backstabbing from its employees. An employee in deep fear is a desperate employee, especially in... — read more 

I’m not sure whether it’s just Houston or all locations. Houston has a lot more to process than other locations so it could go either way at other locations. My recommendation is to start cleaning your laptop of any personal stuff, take personal... — read more 

Heard from a director that we will most likely be notified before the week of November 10 to WFH. So, no one will be in office and the layoffs will happen over a phone call. Curious if anyone has heard the same info?

Seeing a lot of Permian leadership in SUVs around Civitas field. Will this be a good purchase?

Anyone have a copy of the letter that’s supposedly circulating in Anchorage? Its circulation was enough to elicit a response from Isaacson.

Any one know what’s going on with the exploration team in Australia?

Any one know how it will work? Who gets final say on who stays and who will go? Will people be forced to move groups? So many questions!

Why in the world are we going to the office on Fridays? Bartlesville is a ghost town and it borders on mental torture sitting in the office all day by yourself.

There are so many bad things to say I can’t decide where to start. Stay tuned.

Phillips mastered the “Art Of The Layoff” in 1999 and has continued to refine it over the decades. Take a look at their service stations and compare them to QT or OnCue. Pretty easy to spot the winners AND THE LOSER! 😉 Not sure about pipline and... — read more 

Any news on departures from the Leadership Forum; has anything been announced?

Why hasn’t it been posted?

I’d be gone in a heartbeat. But the job market is a nightmare, and that’s the only reason so many of us are losing sleep over the threat of layoffs at a company hardly anyone actually wants to work for. In any other circumstances, leaving this... — read more 

It was already hard to explain why expats help the goal of cost reduction. Now we have to reduce more people to pay their way. After this deadline, individuals cannot enter the U.S. on H-1B status without an additional $100,000 payment associated... — read more 

Apparently the local CEP-anointed “leaders” in AK left the frontline O&M layoff list unprotected on a shared drive, and someone got a photo - now HR and IT are scrambling to round up anyone who saw it? Is this real? It would be great entertainment... — read more 

One less great company with a value proposition and an amazing corporate culture to be bought out…

Please don’t believe people who say this will be based on performance or value. We all know that’s not true. This is about numbers and nothing else. If your number’s in their sights, you’re gone even if you’re the most valuable and experienced person... — read more

COP AI looks at your writing style in these posts and compared it to your historical company email writing styles. Yes, you will be fired based on your negative views toward the company and leadership.

Folks, if you are so worried about being terminated, then you already know the answer - you are a goner. Those that are confident in the real value they bring to COP will survive.

Just waiting is pure torture. I'm almost ready to volunteer, just to get it over with.

I'm okay if they show me door. But I really wanna stay. Where are y'all?

I can’t change what will happen, and I know I won’t have any influence on the decision, especially when costs, not performance, will almost certainly be the deciding factor in these layoffs. I’d rather save my energy for whatever comes next... — read more

Is it typically your direct supervisor, one level above them or two levels above them? How does it work?

What is the over/under for % of folks who EOI'd? Has the TLO sphere experienced a lot or a little murmurs of folks EOI'ing?

There have not been any WARN notices posted in either Texas or Alaska. Is the company serious about this or just trying to get people to volunteer ahead of the layoffs.

I’d bet money on this. They are deleting messages.
