Thread regarding Phillips 66 layoffs

Has anyone had to take the survey? What are the types of questions that they are asking?

It’s just a show for the shareholders. Makes it appear it’s not their ideas. Just regurgitated thru a consultant.

What exactly does leadership do, if they constantly have to keep hiring management consulting groups to tell them how to run the company?

They’ll say that some large number of work hours have been reduced but the fact is very little work has actually been eliminated.
They’ve just shuffled the work around or have just stopped performing it.

I really hope that the executives are cutting their controllable costs to cover the BCG contract! We are doing yet another time study. Do we get a refund from all the other time studies that we have been doing annually since 2019?

It’s a dumpster fire. And yes ELT gig is just a hope and a dream for underlings. They’ll never get it, but they keep trying.

P66 was a great place to work before BT. Now it gets worse every day,

Any word on layoffs in 2024?

To the person that thinks he or she is going to work their way up to the ELT level: take a good look at the bios of the current ELT. Everyone of them has worked for multiple companies.
It seems they hardly ever promote from within any more.
I wish you luck in your goals.

I plan to stack up enough 1’s to get me a ride on MarkForce 1 and experience Stoney life. That’s worth it.

Did you just get to the office at 11am? We have 6 hrs in already. Or did you hit the gym from 9-10, followed by a shower, then to the coffee bar?

It’s fossil limestone. Only the finest. Not marble.

See you’d all be happier if you could toke. Just sayin

OMG, that makes it even better. You're talking about hard work like you even know what the word means. Go ahead and sip your coffee by your coffee bar and go home after your 8 hours buddy. Enjoy your one that you definitely deserve. The rest of us lowly refinery workers are going to keep putting in 12 hours days to make the products that pay for your coffee bar and marble lobby.

I would like to meet anyone who is talking sh-t to meet me by the coffee bar at 11am for a discussion. I assume however that most of you are lowly refinery workers or forgotten Bartlesville employees.

If you spent as much time working as you do vigorously felating management, you'd get a 3 too, because being an enthusiastic yes man is what gets you ahead in P66 these days, not competence.

If some of y’all spent as much time working as you do bi--hing… you might actually get something other than a 3 every year.

There's a load of low value work driven by refinery leadership ("Every single incident, no matter how minor, needs an impact, with an AAR and action items. On an entirely unrelated subject, why do we have so many overdue action items?", or RLT decides they want to play engineer and make the actual engineers process MOCs to satisfy their curiosity about minor control changes).

You know no matter what they cut, it will just come back in 30 seconds when the RLT manages to rub two neurons together long enough to fire up some new ideas.

Any low-level employee who ends up voluntarily interacting with BCG is a mo--n who is just asking to get themselves and their coworkers laid-off. Every "hour" of workload reduction that is identified as part of BT is being tallied up and is being directly used to determine how many people to lay off.

Saucy CFO brought them in to help him identify new “prospects” within the company.

I’m confused. We the employees, the stock holders, the employees who have been laid off, and the analysts have all been told that BT has been an unbelievably huge success.
If that’s the case, why bring in a different group of consultants at this late date?
This is confirmation that BT is doing as poorly as most of the posters on this site have been saying for a long time.
P.S. Don’t let the high stock price fool you: it’s because the sector as a whole is doing well and because Elliot is still out there. It has nothing to do with BT.
