Move everyone back to Bartlesville and run the company with hard working folks. Sell the dump in Houston

Don’t close Houston! It’s a terrible idea, we do need to be able to recruit the top talent who want to work in a large, diverse city, as well as the top talent who enjoy the slower pace of Bartlesville. This diversity gives us strength.
We need “equalize” Houston. Do what they did in Bartlesville to save some costs. Let’s close the top 10 floors of Houston North! (I said it). Closing these floors and consolidating will allow us to more effectively use our space. We save money (just like from closing PB 10-19) by:
No more cleaning costs
Lower electricity cost
Executive elevator decommissioned
Executive parking garage repurposed as long term storage for “employee hopes and dreams”
Please stop trying to incite an internal P66 culture war between Bville and Houston. There are good people at both sites and positives/negatives to both sites. Houston HQ could not shut down simply because 1) there isnt nearly enough office space or housing in Bville for 1400 employees and their families; 2) 80% would decline to relocate and simply find another job around Houston; 3) many of the jobs at HQ are specialty jobs that P66 would struggle to fill in rural NE Oklahoma. Not a judgement about Bville, but true nonetheless.
What's up with RBI?
I heard as part of business transformation, they are the one who brought tens of millions of dollars on savings. Isn't that good?
Refining Business Improvement - haha
We are from Houston, we are here to help.
Forget about attracting talent to Houston. Let people work from the refineries in corporate roles. I'd have taken a role in RBI by now if it wouldn't mean moving to Houston.
If they close Houston HQ, the company will have a hard time attracting talent because lets face it, no one gets excited about moving to Bartlesville, or anywhere in Oklahoma. I am in Houston, my wife works here too and my kids go to college here. Options are very limited in Bartlesville and I am certain many of my colleagues, like me, share the same predicament.
Yes I saw the preview email.
Is Houston closing?
The poster must be kidding. Bartlesville? That's the tesm that is doing the least work.
And loose the woke
