Why are people still working for Phillips 66. No one is making any one of us to stay!

I have to admit I’ve been feeling a little guilty about spending too much time day trading PSX and talking to recruiters for other companies. But then I heard about the ELT’s trip to Aspen and all the other cr-p that they pull. Nothing is too good... — read more 

What is the company’s policy on mari--ana? Do they still test HQ employees?

I was listening to a podcast and the discussion was with a management consultant. I think they summed up the issue with Phillips 66 and this management team: “…the macro implications of a society that is maximizing profit is that it's going to be... — read more 

Hearing that our ELT had just returned from time away in Aspen together. While we never see them here in Houston and never take meetings off the executive-only floors, they apparently need fresh mountain air to recover from the rigors of their... — read more 

Anyone have any idea when the next round of layoffs might start?

As I was browsing through LinkedIn today I couldn’t help but noticing how many P66 employees have what appear to be just made up positions. These are not necessarily highly paid positions but it does seem certain people are being “taken care of”. In... — read more 

Performance gap is widening. Investors don’t see value in the integrated strategy; reason: there is not an investor base for such a company. You have the majors and then focused companies in refining and midstream. No one buys PSX unless they have... — read more 

Why are people getting fired lately for what I can only call bullsh-t reasons? Two folks I know have been kicked out in the last two months. I'm now starting to worry they've decided severance is too expensive and will be getting rid of us using... — read more

So what was the official reason for the CCO’s sudden teleportation out of the building?

It’s been pretty quiet at P66 lately. Is this the calm before the storm?

But don’t sweat it. We are going to have a monster quarter I am sure. Will put all doubters to rest.

Does anyone have any insight on what is going on in Midstream! The uncertainty of where leadership is going to land and how that will affect the way that things are currently operating

Just go. Layoffs are political and cost driven, not about how well you work. If management decides you cost too much and you're not in their circle, you're gone. That's reality. For technical people, staying too long makes your skills outdated and... — read more 

I read the Annual Report this morning so none of you has to. It just repeats the same junk talking points that Go Go always spouts out. That 5 minutes I’ll never get back.

Rumor has it that Refining and Commercial ELT members are on their way out. Lots of meetings taking place in commercial following the Q1 hole we dug for ourselves. Looks like Mandell will be the one to pay for it, with a “retirement.”

Should I leave a competitor to come work for P66? I currently have 8 years where I’m at now! The why……Currently unhappy with the politics and d-mb ranking system. I know every job has a downfall but unaware of how P66 operates!

This lonely Phillips 66 station! Not a single car at the pumps or customers inside. Located across the street from a competing station with 4 times the amount of traffic. https://imgur.com/a/8w7MaHx Moral of this story, the P66 brand su-ks.

M@rk, Kev, and Sean, You can go to all the conferences and spin the story how you want, but it is not working. Results speak louder than spin. Investors are not buying it.

I was selected for a in house project to replace a old computer system. Being old we had low on parts, also the reliability was very low. If I’m going to do this right why not find out where the bottlenecks are and get a wish list and try to do my... — read more

Did anyone else see the post where the Chief Digital Officer was just dancin’ around at some Good Energy Event? I didn’t see her doing any actual work. This was posted on LinkedIn.

Board, I know you are meeting tomorrow. This trend has to stop. Whatever polish this ELT tries to put on it, you need to hold them accountable. YTD, PSX is up 36% while MPC is up 55% 1 year, PSX is up 58% and MPC is up 67% Chemicals is up 70%... — read more 

So what’s the deal with losing two senior leaders in a week? Are we finally seeing BM clean up shop before “retiring” as has been rumored for several years now? MH is probably tired of waiting to takeover.

Does anyone know how much Houston P66 traders get paid for total comp of base and trader bonus?

Recently P66 and/or employees have posted pictures of Go-Go performing Good Energy. I wonder if he actually performed any work or if he just stayed just long enough to get his picture taken and then left the job site?
