I wanted to give my best wishes to folks who are being laid off these days. I know it's not gonna help much to those impacted or make you feel any better but, remember- its not the end of the world, and be persistent in chasing your dreams. I don't... — read more
Roller Coaster Ride Over
Laid off today, honestly glad to be gone. The process was not bad at all. It was getting to the point where it was becoming a highly stressful situation. So very thankful they let me go, and hoping for better days ahead. The truth is ConocoPhillips... — read more
What I did
To all that are going this round, I am sorry, I was cut last round and here is my one piece of advice that really worked for me. The best way to cope with the anger, despair, etc is to do the only thing really in your control-your health and fitness... — read more
Health Benefits?
For those that were laid off in the last couple of weeks, sincerely my condolences. It'll all work out OK. Question on health care benefits: Does it last for the duration of your severance or are your benefits terminated on the day you're laid off?
Summary Request
I work for HAL and I frequently visit all O&G boards on layoffs.com - it seems that your board flared up today and I was wandering if someone can summarize for us outsiders what's going on at Conoco. It's hard to keep track of what's going on as 1/2... — read more
How do they do it? (Calgary)
I’m extremely nervous, never been laid off before, but if it’s gonna be another round, I am sure I’m gonna be on the list. Noting firm, just have that horrible gut feeling. Does someone know how they usually do it? Are you being called to a meeting... — read more
Is it really not obvious to you people?
Come on, 90% of the troll posts on here are posted by the same damn butt hurt guy that was fired in October. Why let the trolls live? To all my friends that have lost jobs in April 2015, October 2015 and Sept 2016. I know most of you are much happier... — read more
Headquarter Group 15% Cut Today

Who in EF ops isgone?(initials only please)
Just wanna know that the idiot circus from leesville, la is gone.
Just remember that…
All jobs are temporary. Being released IS a new beginning. You will probably go through the whole cycle of denial, despair, anger… But, you will also find out the colors are brighter, the birds sing sweeter and the world is an infinite range of... — read more
Oh Bakken......
Wow. I could say that the asset management verified how incompetent they are but we already knew that... If only you were smart and kept the hard workers who worked well with everyone else and did your dirty work! Well now is the time to see how many... — read more
Out now what?
I am out and have to figure out what to do. I know there are no jobs. Good luck, I figure I will call the bank before they come looking for me. Wish I had saved more.

For those about to walk, we salute you!
For Today
We think that when someone dear to us dies, we think that when we lose an election, we think that when we suffer defeat, that all is ended. We think, as T.R. said, that the light had left his life forever. Not true. It is only a beginning always. The... — read more
#Nameplatechallenge
Don't forget to something awesome with your name plate if you're laid off. A previous post suggested sticking it on the bathroom door as you leave since you'd "just been flushed." That's genius pure and simple. What other options can we come up with... — read more
Drink cheaper beer
Life goes on after Conoco. Best place I ever worked. I didn't wait to get laid off, I read the writing on the wall and found another place. Lay offs started long time ago so if you made it this long be grateful. There will always be poor managers and... — read more
Alaska?
Any rumors for the northland? How many new EOIs were there?
The Yearly Purge
Good luck to everyone with this year purge.
We storm the beaches next week. Keep your head down and keep moving, some of you won't make it back.
To the supt in eagleford (mh)
Hope you're laid off this week. You're as inbred and worthless as they come
When we move all the Oklahoma support services to Houston next week?
We all know it's long overdue! We didn't do it after the merger but now it's time to get more efficient and leaner. If we really want to become more efficient this is a no-brainer!
Health Care Options
Health care and insurance is really confusing... how long do we keep our High Deductible Health Plan after layoffs? Someone mentioned that Cobra is cr-p and that I should just jump on Obamacare. I read on here that you can look to the market for a... — read more
What is the point of the High Pot program?
We do forced rankings every year so what is the point of giving someone a "high pot" flag if they are getting 3s and 4s every year versus someone getting 1s and 2s. It seems redundant and vulnerable to cronyism if abused.
Good luck to everyone!
Honestly, I have to say this company has been my career's springboard since starting three years ago. I have had nothing but a good experience so far at ConocoPhillips. Thanks to those who have posted sincere posts with good information/advice on... — read more
Good luck everyone.
If only old Ryan "whammy" Lance had to feel this pain...
Any other advice?
I'm fairly certain I'll be laid off. I took down my HR contact and colleagues contacts, and my resume is in check. Is there any other big to-dos to make the process less painful if/when it happens?
