I have got to say I was a little nervous when ConocoPhillips sold LCGP but after working for Contango it’s the best feeling in the world! COP is a trash company, you don’t realize it until you work for a smaller company. Less management and we don’t... — read more
Conoco can hardly attract talent anymore
It looks like the company no longer has the capacity to attract capable, young people. Perhaps Conoco doesn't even want talents anymore?
Question for concho people at COP
Curious to hear from some concho people, I myself left on my own accord after the merger for some background context on myself. I've heard some grumblings from people but nobody likes change that's for sure as well. Concho was a great place to work... — read more
Censored
My posts keep getting sensors on this site despite there being nothing in the T&Cs against what I am writing other than it goes against the liberal agenda. Real close to quitting site for good.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/conocophillips-reports-first-quarter-2022-110000553.html Unfortunately, I don't have any hopes that we will somehow benefit much from the fact that Conoco reported a five-fold increase in profit from a year ago... — read more

Annual Merit Increase
Curious how people are feeling about the annual merit increase this year that averaged 3.5% company wide, while inflation rages at 7.9% y-o-y at the last reading? Essentially, the average employee got a 5% decrease in purchasing power for 2022. Will... — read more
Talent and skills
Talent and skills used to be very important. Now it’s like those things are at the bottom of the list of priorities they look at when hiring new employees? I have a feeling that everything is more important than actual skills and talent.

SPR Release
This is the silliest strategy for lowering pump prices I have ever heard of. When the last release occured, the price went down for all of a few days. And today, oil went down from $110 to $102, that won't even filter down to a change of gasoline... — read more
Hiring Only Based on Gender

What happens after leave notice?
Any experience on what is ConocoPhillips policy after turning the notice? Do they walk you off and cut your badge immediately?

How much in net worth would it take to leave COP? If the stock keeps climbing I may cash it all in an exit this place
Midland COLA
Can anyone confirm that the folks in Midland received an additional 10% cost of living increase on top of the 4.5 everyone else got?
JJ was right about RL
At the time of the split, JJ said RL was more of a good old boy than a leader capable of growing and leading the company’s upstream plans. JJ thought RL incapable of identifying true leaders, was more likely to choose those he personally liked, and... — read more
Undercover layoffs?
Been a few org changes and backfills recently after people mysterious vanish. Are these layoffs, or did these employees find jobs outside COP?

Shell Staff Incompetence
It’s no surprise they sold the asset. Impressive a lot of these guys lasted in the industry being d-mb as a rock.

Rising Interest Rates
I've seen a bunch of people saying Interest rates are skyrocketing but I'm still not sure why I should care or what that means for me.
After the mass exodus
Believe it or not, I don’t have a single colleague who isn’t thinking about leaving or hasn’t seriously started looking for alternatives for themselves already. I'm just worried about what everything will look like after the mass exodus, which is... — read more
Stagnation.
If I feel that I am stagnating, I will leave job immediately. I certainly won’t stay in one place and waste my time there. Many here say they think their careers have stagnated a lot here. So I'm interested in what's the opportunity cost of... — read more
Your opinion?
I read all the negatives on this website about COP. Why not turn this into a positive page and list things which are great about this company? No negative comments please, let’s work together to only post positive for our breadwinners!
Is it okay to resign right after getting the bonus?
I already know a few people who intend to leave right after they get the bonus, that is, they are still here only until they get the bonus. I don't even think it's unethical anymore.
SLT continues the lie
The lie started with the email about Stat holidays in 2022. Parade Day was taken away and one of the first reasons given is that GCS is not accessible. That's a flat out lie. We all know the building is accessible during the parade, you just can't... — read more

Vax Data
Can COP legally keep the vax data they forced us to provide since the ruling is now reversed by the supreme court?
Where does leadership make their biggest mistakes?
I'm a little disappointed. They look like they've totally lost their direction. This company needs fresh ideas.
First they should admit their own mistakes
In order for anything to get better here, I think that first of all the leadership needs to admit its mistakes. That, of course, will probably never happen. Why though? Why is it so hard for them to admit their own mistakes? The bottom line is... — read more
It's worrying to me............
I wonder why I even care about the best people leaving, if those at the top who should be thinking about it don't care.... The best and most loyal people are leaving and COP does nothing to stop it. How do they think this company will function... — read more
