Guess this is one way to “transform the business” when you’ve failed at the current transformation attempt. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/1-phillips-66-identifies-non-180249568.html
McKinsey & Co
Like him or not, John Oliver (HBO) presents a an eyeopener of a segment on McKinsey & Co. These “consultants” are the people P66 spent millions of $$$ on to advise them on “improving” the business. No surprise the results are what they are. Take a... — read more
Sucess Share no more
Success share program discountinued for 2024. But hey, if you are rated 1 or 2, your individual performance adjustment for VCIP increases. Maybe that will make up for "market rate base salary" and the loss of the "success share". Will there be... — read more
They Say
P66 says that petrochemicals are where the growth will be in future. And maybe it will be. But P66 also said that BT was going to do magical things for the stock and make P66 an even better place to work. Neither of those things have happened... — read more
Who are the defenders of P66?
Serious question. You go to most threads and see an identical number of down votes on all the comments, you get the odd comment about how p66 is great and we're all a bunch of bellyachers, how everyone needs to lay off such and such. So who are you... — read more
Rodeo
A county judge has shutdown the Rodeo Renewable Diesel Project pending more environmental studies. The judge also stopped construction while the study is ongoing. While it is certain to be appealed, this is a real setback to the project. So the one... — read more
Turned down an operator job.
HR is unorganized on the dr-g test and physical part, had to do it four different times, first time the medical facility lost all of my paperwork, the second time a different facility didn’t get enough hair for a hair follicle test, the third time... — read more
The Borger Refinery
I’m hearing through the company grapevine that there was a large hydrocarbon spill overnight at the Borger Refinery overnight. Maybe if the company focused on running reliably instead of laying off people, this wouldn’t happen.
Exit interview experience
What sort of questions are asked? How do you decline answering something? What was your experience?
Turning over experienced professionals for lots of “university new hires”
Looking at LinkedIn, there seem to be a lot of postings for “university new hires.” That’s gotta make you scratch your head, right? They are attempting to replace experienced, higher salary employees, with lower cost employees. Literally younger... — read more
Where Credit is Due
There has been a lot of criticism directed at the CEO, ELT, different VPs and the Business Transformation program. That criticism is richly deserved and if anything doesn’t go far enough. One notable exception to this is the Benefits Center! When I... — read more
Any news or insight on the next layoff?
Do you happen to have any updates regarding the forthcoming round of layoffs? I've been actively seeking another job and would greatly appreciate having a clearer timeline to strategize around. Haven't been sleeping well since the recent Finance... — read more
Wage Disparity
Isn’t it amazing that we have several members of the ELT making 10s of millions of dollars per year, that UPS workers got almost a 40% pay raise recently, and it looks like auto workers will get at least a 30% pay raise if not more, yet most of our... — read more
What’s Next
It seems to me that the CEO has just about run out of things to try get our stock price closer to that of our peers and nothing has worked. Although they’re a good thing, the employee initiatives has saved nowhere near as much money as... — read more
Stock Sale
I read a report that says the CFO of P66 recently sold ~30,000 shares of the company. Why would he do this if he believes that business transformation is going drive the stock price much higher? Maybe he wants to buy or build a new house in Spain.
More Proof
The price differential between P66 and our peers is widening. Valero is now ~$20 higher than PSX and Marathon is now ~$32 higher than PSX. This is even more proof that BT is an epic failure. Not that any additional proof was needed. Everyone but the... — read more
Deleted posts and tracking
There was a post about tracking who visits this site at work. It was deleted. Why? Who has that kind of power?

Company Wide Walk-Off September 11th?
Has anyone else heard about the company wide walk-off (stay at home and don't work) that is being discussed for September 11th? I understand the idea is to peacefully protest the heartless abuse of P66 employees, misuse of company resources to... — read more
Here's the solution - I left but we have to fight against societal dragons - If we don't it is at our own peril
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGNFR7pgxDY The dragons we were told about as children in fairy tales are very much with us today. They were always our fellow (wo)men walking right beside us with unbridled greed and ambition with no regard to their... — read more
LHH
Does anyone know anything about LHH Career Services? Is it worth fooling around with? Do they get paid whether or not a former employee utilizes their services?
The “Retained” AES
Of those impacted by the AES move, how many of the retained are thinking of leaving either prior to the retained bonus date or right after? It’s pretty obvious that they felt they needed to provide a bonus because they have betrayed us all. I think... — read more
Floundering, Flopping Around, Failing
Of the different groups, which 1 do you consider to be floundering, flopping around, and failing the most. i.e. Refining. I know this is a very hard question because as a whole they all are performing so poorly.
American Based Company?
Why do we have to listen to so many UK accents telling Americans how to run our business? One only has to look at Britain’s GDP to understand why this may not be the best idea… oh but wait, isn’t Black Rock European based, and don’t they control a... — read more

Does Sweeny Have a GM?
I’m hearing the new GM at Sweeny is working Singapore hours. When did we stop taking care of the crown jewel of our refineries? After walking ME out for speaking the truth, this is the best P66 can do? They decide to go outside the US circuit (where... — read more

What About the CEO’s Pay Raise?
Did anyone notice that the P66 CEO was voted a half million dollar annual pay raise during the last Stockholder Meeting? A half million dollars for what? Employees who own stock should read the annual voting information and vote. Mind you... — read more
What is the purpose of hiring someone to lay them off 2 months later?

Stony Island
