There is risk of fire, explosions, hazardous gas release and much more in refineries. Putting office workers on this site to save a corporate lease is asinine.
Make no mistake, this company does not give a sh-t about you, your health, or your family. Think about this before you move.
This company needed this eons ago. I've never seen a company with such redundancy and useless people in my career. Hopefully it's 75 percent of management as well.
@b2 I'll be fine, as I always have been, no one and no company keeps me down. Coddled whiners like you won't be though.
They are not forcing employees to move to Edmonton, they are forcing people to leave.
@b1 must be nice to be a di-khead. Good luck to you as they scuttle this companies future
They're not putting your little desk inside the refinery FFS. You'll, well probably not you, but the ones who don't lose their jobs will be in either atco trailers or office space. Such whiners.
Wow. Dramatic much?!! Not like they’re dropping Atco trailers in the middle of the cat cr--ker unit! Welcome to the oil and gas industry. If your job ain’t required, you won’t have to worry about being in an active refinery
Learn to get tough or get gone
Ops point is why put people in harms way who do not need to be in harms way? By the thinking of some comments on this board BP should keep putting portable temporary buildings inside the Texas City refinery. Look it up if you don’t get the reference. OP is correct. Truth is the forced relocation is just a way to get people to quit who are dual career with one person working outside of the company or don’t want to uproot their family.
@a6 don’t be an id--t. The difference is people who signed up for a job knowing that job involved working in a refinery. Not Debbie-Sue from procurement who signed her job offer without even knowing what a hydrocarbon is.
Plant workers are compensated based on their risk/exposure, above field workers are not.
You are in the Oil & Gas business. If you don't like it, quit. Lot's of other people will gladly take your job.
"Elbows Up".
@OP not thousands. Only a few select hundred. Apparently that does not include you.
It’s ok for wage people in the plants and refineries to have this risk but asinine for office people? The elitism in your post is sickening…
