Sadly it is because company doesn't want to keep experienced people. Lay off all the experienced people because they are supposedly too expensive. And then watch all the remaining skilled people become disaffected and walk away. Hire monkeys if you... —  read more 

Crude has seen a small rally recently and many of our competitors stock have followed. Why do we continue to lag? Seems to be stuck in that $60 range.

I know some of these are old, but here goes. (1) Dividend Cut after promising no dividend cut a month earlier (2) Zero focus on all costs immediately after split. Yes, ancient history, but highlights how naive leadership was when they should have... —  read more

October is comming be ready for more change!

Using our current price forecast to grade our “leadership” is ignorant. Real leaders must think long-term, but also plan for both good and bad times. In this, our leaders have failed us, planning for good times during high prices, and reacting... —  read more

People have been mentioning May as the month when we can expect more layoffs at COP. Has that been confirmed or debunked? Haven't heard much one way or another.

Don't worry about somebody buying COP. Nobody wants us. Don't worry about us buying another company. Quite simply it's not what we do, we sale things. Buying stuff does not let us buy back cop shares. Don't worry about layoffs. Every worker that has... —  read more

Worked with such a mean, bitter, and disfunctional group of people. Sprinkle in technical incompetence, over-confident, dis-honest, lack of vision, no strategy, dis-loyal, slandering, vindictive, entitled, and much worse.

I don’t get it...if people are laid off then less numbers are sharing the dough so each should get more. Whose cutting in my pie?
