Williams must be in bad shape if they think they can run the company with college grads working for pizza. Because I don't know anyone with a family and options who would volunteer for constant layoffs and a kick out the door when they reach 55.
Exactly what @St52HHI-7Bodl said! Actions have consequences, and Williams will feel plenty of those soon enough, when they realize nobody with any knowledge on how things are done is left.
Hope they aren’t doing the spreadsheet way of tracking safety again with ivory tower reporting. need to get in the face of people daily and get your hands dirty to make sure it gets done. If not you will get an endless run around.
The focus on safety numbers is such a sham. Some areas are under reporting, other areas over reporting, and no one can even compare apples to apples. Sr management who is supposedly "managing" the numbers from afar have no true understanding are just patting themselves on the backs without being able to understand how each area is truly performing
Oops reviewed the records, actually there where problems in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The accident that made the chemical safety board website was in 2013. I believe safety has improved since then. Haven’t seen anything major just the typical fines.
The explosions at three plants where actually in 2013, sorry for the mistake, 2016 was a mass lay off. They cleaned up safety a lot since 2013, let’s hope they don’t cut back too much and safety becomes a problem again like at one of its rivals.
For the sake of employees hopefully the safety issues that happens around 2016 do not occur.
I do agree safety isn’t just about experience it’s an attitude that no matter what safety is no 1, even if you will get fired for pushing safety. That’s where most companies go wrong with safety they put greed and short term profits ahead of it. That’s human nature cannot change it.
It could be a repeat of 2016 where explosions at three different facilities created havoc. This is so predictable, fire the experienced cut back on experience and expenses until a safety incident occurs. Then do it all over again, very sad 😔 greed is what makes this country great, but it is ugly at times.
I don’t know - I saw a bunch of seasoned people at Williams specifically tasked with safety who didn’t do sh– to make the assets, their people or, worse yet, the public safe. Pigs flying? Forget about safeguarding against future occurrences - just get rid of the people who documented it! (Says the O&G vet who’d rather look the other way than to fix problems. No true safety focus, and certainly no commitment to continuous improvement.)
I think one of he reasons we hear about so many more gas explosions is because companies keep getting rid of the older experienced employees in favor of the young who don't know anything about getting it done right and safely.
