I get that this is where people come to complain and COP absolutely has room for improvement. However, I encourage everyone to go look at the XOM Layoff board to see how much worse things can be. I moved over from there a few months ago and I just... —  read more

Does this company have a fraternization policy regarding relationships at work?

Anyway to cash out the cashbalance accrued without leaving company ? I heard UK pension bond funds were almost wiped out with trillon dollars overnite. We are a couple of blocks down that road.

Subsurface Chiefs are at first level supervisor level, not a strong endorsement of their worth from the company. Steadily demoted the last decade. Are these vanity positions, anachronistic empty titles?

This company puts in so much effort and time with UW. We always tout the $$s donated, but don't mention the overhead that goes into the annual program. I wouldn't be surprised if we spent 1/2 of what was brought in through donations via free lunch on... —  read more
