Thread regarding Chevron Phillips Chemical layoffs

Talk about waste!

There needs to be an area on chemisphere, to make recommendations for cost savings. Some examples are HR, AI is here and knows the answer and policy to quote instantly. I have had several HR questions go unanswered bc they don't know, pretty frustrating. The new HR person at GTP says everything that we ask is another department, so what's your job? The second is fire specialist, why are they needed when you have a trained and certified fire team on site 24 7? I can see a chief and an asst but not a whole group of specialist. There are about 5 or 6 superintendents in the EHS group and 3 or 4 managers, same for technical group. None have more than 3 or 4 people reporting to them. Half of them refer to their previous jobs for reference and not cpchem policy when asked a question. Shift superintendents, another waste, a glorified night and weekend maintenance ticket inputs and tracker. Some will say they are incident scene commanders when something bad happens, well I say you have 3 Shift supervisors that are 24 7 that fill the same role, it's not hard and they are only in charge until management gets there which will be very quick once they make the call. There are multiple "specialist" in operations and maintenance that seem to just hang out and give opinions when asked, not necessarily good or smart opinons most of time. There are about 100 plus true project people on site su-king up space and money, why? We are damn near finished and most of stuff is handed off already. To many redundant people, everywhere not just GTP. Go to Cedar and it's the same thing. I was there for years and I would see people and ask myself, what does that person do? I ever only seen them drinking coffee, lunch or walking around aimlessly. But let's layoff people that actually work and have purpose and let's outsource jobs to foreign countries.

I’ve also suggested a specific location to submit ideas on areas we could reduce savings. Even asked it at the corporate town hall. Haven’t had any luck. I personally think it could be more effective than telling your supervisor and hoping it makes its way up…
