Access leadership safe
Does anyone know of an Access manager or higher who had been let go? My observation is that they are safe and also get to keep titles such as director even if they only have a team of six or eight reporting to them, not managers but staff employees... — read more
Community Relations
If Williams continues to layoff older workers and ship their jobs overseas, we might want to ask our politicians for assistance.
Class Action Lawsuit
Would the fact that Williams is replacing older workers who were forced to retire with Wipro offshore...help or hurt the case?
Moving IT jobs to India
A member of IT Scada Ops is in India this week training Indians to do the job our forced retirees were doing a short time before. Just apply through Wipro if you want to work at Williams.

Compression leadership
Amazes me how the same leader who was part of the original team of construction who branched off to the compression side. Still hires family, takes kick backs, quail, dove hunts and tells the contractor where to be at on the bid so he can continue... — read more
Bad news
Stock is dropping if it keeps up more people will be fired.
Classic age discrimination
Excellent article in the AARP Bulletin, titled Ageism in the workplace. The federal government age discrimination watchdog (EEOC) has a smaller budget today than in 1980 with fewer staff. If you do file a lawsuit, chances are that it will never be... — read more

2020 Predictions-Layoffs and Stock Price
As long as the stock price remains in the green in 2020, layoffs are not likely. If the performance turns red, look out for another show time for the shareholders. Of course they will go after 50 and older white males very strongly. That’s life at... — read more

Wild Goose Chase
It occurred to me that Williams is on a wild goose chase for talent in Tulsa and Houston. With the major shale shake out in the Northeast they should be building up theirs offices in the Northeast where the talent pool is, who wants to love to... — read more
Talent Acquisition Team (TAT)

Mostly in Houston and Tulsa. What did I say, same pattern as 2016.
WTSHTF
WTSHTF - William’ s corporate has proven repeatedly not only will they run like chickens 🐓 with no backbone, they will throw as many “Charlie’s” as deemed nescessary (us - working the field widgets) under-the buss to protect their Berkshire buffed... — read more
Chevron, CHK and Williams
Williams must be under pressure to lower their gathering fees, with CHK near bankruptcy and Chevron jumping ship. I suspect this has something to do with the job cuts in the Northeast, time will tell but look for a lowering of fees, don’t see how... — read more
Leadership construction
Same old game, leadership in construction is terrible. Grudges, lacking communication and talking down to people. Especially those who have been demoted numerous times and still a leader??

Pension
Former employee wondering if anyone had heard plans of cashing people out of the pension that no longer work at Williams younger than 55. I know in 2016, they sent letters to former employees after the RIF to let them roll into another retirement... — read more
Talking Loud and Saying Nothing
Sick of Williams “Co-worker” id–ts Talk’en Loud & Saying Nothing. As butt kissing and illlusions of self-grandifacation work environment that one can possibly be exsposed to. What a daily joke!
55+ Shades of Gray (Hair)

Just like 2016
The hiring and job reposting has all ready started, gotta keep all these HR recuriters, relocation specialists training personnel, college recuriters and talent hunters, headhunters and consultants busy. It is started in Tulsa on a few months I... — read more
Next is the onslaught of cheap, naive and barely skilled (industry wise) labor to replace the last “batch”. Head’em up, move’em out !!!
There won’t be any more cuts - not for now. Not yet anyway’s.Williams history is one of repeated stupidity and is the only constant within this company. NEXT is the like clockwork and predictable onslaught of the frenzied hiring phase of cheap... — read more
Rumors
More Posts about more layoffs. I will predict they will happen if the stock drops and stays below 22 for a few months. These layoffs are a farce and the only purpose is to to keep the shareholders happy and demanding that the executives give up... — read more
December layoffs?
Any ideas on how many will be losing their jobs in December? Sad that I'm thinking of this after Thanksgiving, but that's our reality.
More layoffs coming????
Is there any truth to this? Why would the so called leadership do this again? Who would be affected and when?
Company’s Strategy
It is becoming more and more apparent this company is being run by MBA’s, lawyers, bean counters and BS Engineers and HR spin meisters. If that’s the type of company you want to work for, hard off to you. However if you want something elese my advice... — read more
Other than that, how did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?
Williams 2016 merger strategy and choices made in the employees who were cut and/or severed was a total failure, which in turn leads us directly to Williams 2019. It’ barely a few years later and worse. Any guesses for 2021? Exactly who or what is... — read more

Very simply
Williams has lost its way. It’s such a big company that is run by faceless bureaucrats and bean counters. Employees that are passionate and have all their heart and believe in the natural gas business are sometimes norveven recognized and easily... — read more
Just as I predicted
No more posts, all has been forgotten, just like in the movie series purge. Again even MM could make money transporting natural gas.
Construction unethical
For those who know or afraid, I’ll say it. The construction department leadership is unethical, hire buddies, family members, take paid trips to Las Vegas, get angry and to mention the outright discrimination. Williams, ask the field and those who... — read more
