@be

We have a 4 hour session with lunch provided for the PSMS team to explain to us how PSMS is not a ripoff of LPS, but rather XOM's own optimization and interpretation........you only see kinda BS in the art world, i guess the price tag matches.

I don’t see a reduction in managers as a big deal either, but at the same time let’s not kid ourselves that maybe $1M/yr in salary and benefits for the managers we’ll cut is the difference between profit and loss at two plants. But that’s the only thing our managers, from the CEO down to the polymers plants, knows how to do. Consolidate teams and technologies that have little to do with one another to get rid of a manager or two, and then hope Chesterton’s fence doesn’t apply and there wasn’t a good reason for the delineation being there in the first place.

I don’t see a reduction in management as such a bad thing.

If we have so much time to waste on PSMS then we clearly can cut some people.

The writing was on the wall when ExxonMobil decided to shut down Baton Rouge Finishing Plant even though the plant was at max rates.

They've already done this with BRCX and BTCXs to reduce higher salaried management positions- it was likely jist a matter of time for some of the chemical plants.
