Thread regarding ConocoPhillips layoffs

I was told not a month ago my job was safe

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

You guys are a bunch of sheeps waiting to be sla-ghtered. Have the ba--s to leave this sh---y industry and let those clown executives hold each other’s and sing Koumbaya. Take a salary cut but buy your piece of mind or you won’t make it to retirement in shape….pick!

@c6 If nobody noticed you had not put your work on the sharepoint it is a good sign it didnt have any value for anyone.

You or your manager must not have listened to all the endless emails and town halls.
Your role was safe. The person who was assigned to perform that role probably wasn't decided until the day before.

"Trust" and "workplace" are mutually exclusive. I learned that the hard way many years ago. Likewise, your colleagues are not your "friends," no matter how much they appear to be. At the end of the day it is everyone for himself or herself. Keep your friendship circles separate. Family and real friends are eternal.

Don't be too hard on your manager. They might actually think you are safe, and someone above them made the list. I had it happen to me before and my manager had no idea the list he was handed. He felt very bad and I understood where he was coming from, and did not hold it against him.
