Any rumors of upcoming RIF or early retirement plans?
Is 136 good?
What’s the norm or expectation when it comes annual bonus? I figured given the current position of Williams it would be higher. What am I missing?
Where did everyone go?
With all the changes I thought this board would be active.
What is the typical raise and promotion at Williams?
Yearly raise and promotions what’s the percent typically?
What is the typical bonus pay out? Are stocks payed 100 percent
Just what the title says for those that get a bonus and stocks are they typically always paid out? 100 percent of target?
LL In Over His Head
Sure seems like he got Peter Principled into his role and now everyone under him is paying the price for it. I guess we all need to get used to having a new manager/director every 3 months
Great People Getting Walked Out
How is it that someone walked out of P66 is now doing the same to bring his minions in from the same company. Some really solid talent getting out or being walked out.
Capital Projects being cut company wide
Layoffs are coming better hope your not on any list.
New regime
Can’t believe there are no comments about the new regime. In the past 5 years, they have gotten rid of/pushed out the best and strongest female leaders. Now it’s the CZ good ole boy club and the few women that will not push back. Sell your stock... — read more
Acquisition
Do they treat all their acquisitions this sh---y? Been in the industry for a while, and this is by far the worst handled in all aspects.
Team su-k offs and fake building
What’s the deal with these clowns and their obsession with team get-togethers? I’ve been working for a long time, and I have never—never—seen a group of people so ridiculously attached to these pointless, time-wasting, absolutely useless events. Do... — read more
Working from Home
Wondering if or when the Execs make it mandatory to work from office 5 days/week. No one is happy about the Monday WFH loss obviously... and keeping the 9/80 option out as an option.
Return to 1 day/week work from home
You heard it here first. Williams is about to announce a 1 day/week work from home, down from 2 days/week. This just 2 weeks after the employee survey about work/life balance. This is a sp-t in the face of every employee who graded the company as... — read more
Burnout and high turnover
Isn't it funny how Williams is not even trying to prevent burnout among employees and at least reduce the high rate of attrition? It seems that it's the actual goal. Push people until they reach their breaking point and leave, so they can save money... — read more
2024 Outlook
Is there any news relative to staff reductions for 2024
Who has bad experiences with Williams, and what are they?
Culture is so toxic and they love throwing people under the bus. They say no retaliation, but it always happen and they don’t do anything about it. Management fosters all of that and all they care about is their “EBIDTA” and their investors. Worst... — read more
2023 Predictions
With NG hitting 2 bucks, and the stock price hovering below 30 bucks, pressure for employee cuts may be increasing. Remember it’s always for show.
Moving Capital spend 2024 $$'s to 2024, now what could that mean.w wha
Shifting capital spend $$'s from 2023nto 2024, now what could that mean, and your first two guesses are wrong 🤔
Annual Fat Trimming Coming
Just in time got the Holidays.
Huge shortage of pipelines
Get the permits first build, don’t buy materials first then get the permits later, backwards, big charges if you do that. Simple common sense. Don’t run pipelines through peoples apple farms either, not good for public relations.
Out with the Old in With the New
It may be time to remove some of the 55+!older employees, the poor market conditions is a perfect excuse to do this. They must be good at it by now, have a system in place.
Wall Street CEO Hedge Funds and Lay OFFs
Potential for some small cuts to feed the Lions they are hungry and want more. Nothing will change though.
October cuts
Rumors have started about possible October cuts. Is there any chance somebody here knows more about it?
Don’t know
Maybe they are looking at how people over 55 are forced out of the company and realize there isn’t any loyalty at this “firm”.
Why are women leaving
I have heard about a lot of great women leaving Williams this year. I joined Williams because of a female leader I met, but she left and other women I hear are leaving/have left too. What’s going on that I need to know? I don’t want to encourage... — read more
Stock Prices are Dropping
Layoffs might be back on the Table only for show though, that’s the history of this company.
Debt and Lsyoff
Large debt holding company back. And stock appreciation. Result of uneven personnel hiring and firing policies including massive layoffs. Don’t have the qualified experienced and dedicated personnel to run cost effective capital projects due to... — read more
Pipelines and Layoffs
It’s too bad they fired 10 percent of the their staff in 2016. Currently there is a huge shortage of pipelines and Williams is again behind curve behind chasing. They need to manage their labor, permitting and development. Get the permits then... — read more
Dividends , Stock Price, LNG & Layoffs
Looks like this year may be a good year for Williams. I don’t predict any massive layoffs with dividend stocks coming back in favor and LNG demand staying strong. You never know what will happen though.
Year End Reviews
What a joke, Williams found another way to adjust goals with knocking down ratings, very un-ethical.
GC15
Just curious is the GC 15 compressor design process still around and how is it doing?
Remote Work - January Spike
For some it’s mandatory, for some it’s optional and others not a word mentioned business as usual. Interesting how this was rolled out. I do understand this is not an option for all employees. Talking about positions where remote work is... — read more
Merry Christmas
Well maybe next year will bring some layoffs and excitement to this dead message board.
Looks Like Lucky
Ones this year will not get hit with the ax. Stock price is still positive for the year. Anybody with a brain bigger than pea knows that layoffs at Williams are strictly correlated with the stock price. Have a great New Year!
2021 & 2022 Layoff Predictions
There will be not any major layoffs on 2021, since it looks the stock price will be up this year with soaring spot natural prices over 6 bucks. Currently 2022 looks like a good year with futures close to 4 bucks. However natural gas is highly... — read more
BlueSkies is a complete joke
Blueskies, and the people responsible for designing it are a complete joke. Managers, and above are so out of touch with what employees are actually doing on a day to day basis and the flaws in the system highlight that.
