They are cleaning house today. Lots of operations staff let go however haven't heard of any leadership that got the axe. Looks like all these people that spend their days in meetings for 12hrs better dust off their coveralls if they want the place to keep producing!!

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE THINK. IT HASN'T SINCE WE WALKED IN THE DOOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO
That is the order of things. Managers lay off the staff... then other managers lay off those managers, HR finishes the job, then HR Houston/bville lays off local HR. How else could it work... don't worry... there will be no one spared. If you think the ex-burl rat pack will survive.... think again. Who do you think got us into this mess?
That's funny. Most of us rarely even see our managers.
It is the Managers that managed the hardworking people to make profits. Without Managers, there would be no COP.
Reading the real news that ConocoPhillips wants more cash , then a good employee, there idea is to Have less debt, to buy back more of there own company. So it shows that the higher ups are not on any chopping block, just the hard working people that made them profit. And if you read news on this company the u.s. is a big part of these job cuts. Thank Trump for some of this, or all of this. So mis manage of the Alberta oil sands , fall on the very worker that made them all there profit,and a good company.
It's absolutely astounding that they make these changes and retain all the higher paid managers and org structure. WTF is wrong with these people? Cut the people doing the work and making you money, keep the company bureaucrats. I'm completely horrified for the future of our company.
I physically cannot understand this company. How do you let go so many operations staff and yet keep all the top heavy leadership? There is so much fat at the MPB yet they trim in areas that are already lean.
Leadership is useless at that place. Why do they habe a chief steam an ops superintendent an ops manager 4 layers thay csn it cut to 1
