Williams the “Powerstruck Syndrome” at it’s worst.

This is Williams at it’s worst. Those high and low who simply “feel” they have the power and are gonna wield it. It’s the “Powerstruck Syndrome“, believing that others will do your bidding and acquiesce, because you can “Finish” them career-wise. ... — read more

Open your eyes

Talent Shortage

Stop terminating and laying people off. It takes time to train people, develop skills and learn the business. On paper it looks good, but it doesn’t work, try building something instead of buying assets at hyper inflated prices and running up... — read more

Same Bat Channel, Stay Tuned

This will happen over and over again. The next step will be to start hiring like crazy, of course they will wait a few months like they did it 2016 to try it make it look like they really are interested in cutting costs. Look for adds to bring in... — read more

It’s Done

Of course it is done, it’s all for show, had no meaning expect to appease angry investors who are getting pounded as the stock price drops or goes nowhere.

SMH Stolen Valor

Williams, not only are layoffs going on, keeping the wrong people but also give credit to a leader for a task they didn’t do. The wrong individual got recognition and credit on the post that was posted. We know who created and done all the work that... — read more

Management Cower

Ever notice how management goes ghost during lay offs? Two managers in the construction department ironically are “Traveling” this week. One of them shouldn’t even be a manager, since they have been demoted numerous times during their career, all... — read more

22

22 is a good age, but not a good stock price if you are a Williams investor. Sorry to say this, but investors are not excited about Williams. Will they try to prop the stock price up again with more announcements about terminations, stay tuned.

Political moves?

So the word is the construction side promotes individuals to management levels while not following the process of posting? That’s what’s wrong with Williams, too many political motives. Lay off, promote without a due fair process to others, given to... — read more

On talking about the hands on technical side, it is really messy, kickout the quality "can do" people, and now it looks like business as usual - very few that have the ability to really know what is the work that they are actually actually... — read more

I’m hearing the hammer will also fall starting next week in the Northwest region. Redundant management - particularly in SLC.

Toxic culture

Williams needs to really look hard and phase out the toxic culture in the construction department. They have the highest turnover, unresponsive leadership. I’ve seen their people, they look zombies, they are tired of the me mentality

Layoffs

If management really had the guts to follow Williams’s core values layouts would have not happened in 2016 and as well as 2019.

The top performers are leaving in droves

The results that I'm seeing don't reflect a pool of top performers waiting for the opportunity to show Williams their best. I see a bunch of beaten down survivors who are quickly losing any interest they ever had in making a career at Williams. The... — read more

Earnings and Layoffs

Don’t look bad, maybe their won’t be many layoffs, perhaps just scare tactics to try to make people take the VSP and quit. It doesn’t matter what management does, they are in the right market, even MM could make money in this buisness. Good luck!... — read more

Stock Price and Layoffs

My prediction is they will lay-off more people in attempt to pump up the stock price. It’s back under 23 while the S&P makes new highs and the consumption of natural gas is at record highs. How long will this poor leadership continue, what a shame... — read more

Next re-org pushed to mid-November. What does it mean?
