Thread regarding Phillips 66 layoffs

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

The good people of P66 currently have two choices: GoGo and the ELT or Elliot. The only possible get out of jail free card is if a White Knight comes to the company's rescue. Presently, there are none on the horizon.

On one hand there's the devil you know with GoGo's consultant driven approach to running the company. On the other is Elliot, a wolf in wolf's clothing. Other posts leave open the idea that Elliot might somehow be the bitter medicine the company needs to swallow to move past the years-long torments of different "transformations". The only medical analogy for Elliot's intent toward P66 would be organ harvesting. This will be in the form of divesting mid-stream and/or chemicals, then plugging what's left of P66 into their Citgo play. You can maybe throw in a special dividend from the proceeds of the above as reward for all their hard work. Then it's on to their next target.

One thing is for sure is that Elliot is not going away until they get what they want. UNLESS, a bigger fish comes along. The company that comes to mind is Occidental and voila we're back to being an integrated oil co. Berkshire Hathaway has an interest in OXY and past history with P66.

I can’t wait to see you all get what you want with Elliot and then they chop the company up and then you come back on here crying about how bad they are.

Elliot, can’t you just get rid of Mark and allocate some funds to refining? The portfolio diversity is a good thing.

Ja--ing with peoples’ lively hood is not tolerable and deplorable. Maybe conduct a competency test for Company and Union employees and replace the unqualified ones?

Plenty more fat to cut. P66 needs talented leadership that leads by example. The authoritarian approach is out dated and cruel. Respect your employees and provided the resources required to job! Stop cutting Union jobs!

Elliott or bust!

I lost my career under GoGo's leadership.
