Phillips 66 has begun vacating floors 10 through 18 of its Phillips office building, consolidating all employees to the lower nine floors,
First step of closing Bartlesville???
They are saving Stoney island for wetland relocation on the next oil spill. You see, it’s saving the company already.
It was a mckensie initiative to increase productivity by shortening the elevator transit time. Plus they relocated all central trash cans to bottom floor. Mckensie brings the go.
So many times over the years have I heard the qiestion, "Are they closing Bartlesville?" The answer is always "no", because even if P66 whittles away Bville staffing to one person, they still haven't technically closed. While that might seem like hyperbole, the reality is that by the time they officially close, the number of workers involved will be so small that it wont be big news...except to those being laid off. With half of the people in Adams Bldg gone and over 100 lost from R&D, Bville is already in trouble.
Yeah but you couldn’t sleep in the CEO bedroom suite if you closed the top floor. Duh
And as always they could sell Stony Island. The continued ownership and executive use of this place is a real insult to those who have been and are at risk of being laid off in the name of saving money.
Don’t be so negative! We should save money (and electricity) by not keeping these spaces ready. It’s good for the pocketbook and the environment! (Yay!)
Here is the next idea!
“Phillips 66 closes the executive parking garage in Houston as well as the Executive elevator” - this move was done to better utilize the normal parking garage and the “elevators for the common folks”. Let’s save electricity and money!
“Phillips closes the executive floor in Houston” this was done to save cleaning services and electricity! “We realize with our commitment to save money that it doesn’t make sense to have 8 people take an entire floor”. #realBT
I’m sure this will save some little bit of money but not a whole lot. Why would P66 go to the trouble of announcing a small potatoes deal like this? Are they that desperate for a BT success?
Re: Closing Floors
Whatever.
what a downfall! I remember my 2007 days when I had a good time with colleagues after work drinking beer, playing billiards, working out.
