Elliott recently increased its stake in PSX and now owns ~16 million shares. So they’re not going anywhere.
It’s Too Bad
Phillips 66 offers good pay and good benefits. And before the Go Go regime took over it was a relatively satisfying place to work. Now with the failure of BT. WEP, and never ending layoffs it’s sad place to work. Morale is at rock bottom. Employee... — read more
Been quiet lately
It's been kind of quiet lately, a calm before the storm?

What I’m Hearing
I’m hearing that CP Chem is really having problems right now. I can’t help but think that Go Go was the CEO of that company only few years ago. He even bragged about how great successful that BT was. I hope epilogue is not prologue at P66.
P66 HR hiring a Sr Recruiter
Nice to know that HR is hiring a Sr recruiter when they are not busy laying off good people. Probably need to staff up the HR Team to lay people off faster and bring in cover up teams for the bungling VP HR

Truly an embarrassing place to work for (Walking people out like Criminals)
Phillips 66 (P66) is truly an sad place to work for , how do you think escorting people out like criminals who have worked tirelessly for you (12 hours a day for a measly pay you can make at McDonalds) would boost morale. What happened to a 1 month... — read more

CNBC - Phillips 66
CNBC had the CEO on Squawk Box yesterday to discuss 2nd quarter earnings. My question is why? Companies report earnings every day. Our earnings were ok but not close to being spectacular so why give publicity to just another company reporting... — read more
Earnings
I’m a little surprised that the 2nd quarter earnings beat expectations even though the analysts had lowered expectations a week or so ago. We still didn’t make as much as VLO and they don’t even have chemicals or big midstream operations. One... — read more

BTC
Since we're no longer doing research, is there any word on the future of the BTC?
Surely He Jests
Go Go said at an energy conference that employees are really buying in to BT and because there are fewer employees they are getting more done and their jobs are more enjoyable. Surely he doesn’t really believe that!
Projects layoffs
Have heard of three so far today following the announcement this morning. What's everyone seeing? Gotta love central projects managing sample stations and minor jumpers. That will definitely improve efficiency.

Why Safety Keeps Coming up in the Surveys
As to RH being confused on why safety keeps coming up in the comments despite metrics improving: We aren't being listened to when we have safety concerns. We are being told we're going to run at X. We say it's going to cause RVs to lift, it's going... — read more

I did it
After 13 years here, I never thought I’d leave. I finally took a leap on a new job a few weeks ago, and while it’s not perfect, shaking things up was worth it. Change is scary but sometimes necessary. If you're as unhappy as I was, give it try. It... — read more

Is it more than lip service?
My question to Mr. Lashier, ELT, and the Board. If you truly believe that being an integrated energy company is the best vision; then why not put YOUR money where your mouth is a buy? I mean actually buy PSX shares from your personal cash like... — read more
