Do the right thing and just go with it. Dont waste a lot of time with it, but take the high ground.

Bad day for anybody in the natural gas buisness, doesnt look good, natural gas prices tanking big time, due to glut and warm weather will need a hot summer. Liquids may be better, if oil prices continue to hold.

71 openings, doubling every two weeks. When will it reach 700 to replace the 700 terminated employees last year?

Super committed

All this krap about not having enough talent or the need to get ride of bad talent is a sure sign of bad management. Look at the Patriots they win every year without the best talent, they use what they have! Never seen such a large group of... — read more 

Important message.

31 open positions and climbing, why dont they recall some of the terminated workers.

Also, are most of the OKC employees opting to relocate to Tulsa?

Bizzare article by Bloomberg released today. What do you think, will they share some of the gold by recalling and rehiring some of 700 terminated employees?

Glad this year is over! It's official there will be no merger or extra servance for those terminated in 2016.

Maybe they should be cut back as well, predictions of NG prices way too negative, off by a lot.

Good luck in Tulsa Access

I have nothing against anybody in the EHS department, many of their employees do a great job. The issue has always been the safety culture as recently documented by the chemical safety board. Some of this has been cleaned up and great progress has... — read more 

Of all departments it seems EHS gets slammed most often on this board. Why is that?

I am not an employee nor have I ever been in oil and gas, but as an Oklahoman and seeing the obvious lack of collaboration between Tulsa and OKC with the recent posts is sad. This is a leadership issue that has allowed a "them vs us" mentality that... — read more 

It's about time Willie cut the dead weight of the OKC office. I'm not talking about the people, well some of the people in EHS, but the physical buildings. Why they kept that office this long is amazing with Tulsa being so close. No one should be... — read more 

I'm sorry to hear the news that Williams is closing the OKC offices. I consider years that I spent with CHK Midstream and then ACMP and the full separation from CHK as one of the true highlights of my career. We accomplished things that many said... — read more 

Bad timing as always, Williams is always behind the curve. CHK stock has recovered and OPEC is coming to terms. The bust is over and a recovery is on the way, why would Williams be cutting back at this tine, certainly not due to market conditions... — read more 

If you didn't see this coming in June '14 when Williams bought Access, you were in dreamland. Two major offices 100 miles apart? No company is run that way. You should thank Kelcy for getting you an extra year sitting around OKC. This should have... — read more 

Well lets see how it goes...

Of the 700 employees that where terminated in April, has anybody been recalled or offered to at least interview for new positions opening up at Williams? If not has anybody tried reapplying or this just a complete waste of time.

The new buzz word out of HR departments, not necessarily Williams but could be is the candidate may not be a culture fit. Clue too old for the job

Geez, that last post regarding EHS leadership, specifically safety didn't last long.

OMG.. this company makes me so mad. Pretty clear that those new to the company and early in our technical careers have no path or important enough to be reflective in the leasership team. 2 VPS promoted (both male). All 4 female Vice Presidents were... — read more 

More OKC gutting on the way. Expect announcements early next week (or even sooner) with RIF's after Christmas.

Thinking Trump and Hilary were a epic disaster until discovering this forum and having the lasting and ever joyful pleasure of reading about Pete and Stephanie. Well good luck.

I encourage all employees to visit the chemical safety board and read the report on Williams that was released. Glad it is in the open finally.

What's the word on the street in regards to any asset sales? I figured they would be trying to sale some slower/lower assets. The news indicates several big oilers and gassers are selling big assets.

Nothing else to say, end of story.

The good news is oil is above 50 bucks and natural gas is way about 3 bucks. The bad news is Williams projections on price where totally inaccurate, hard to plan anything.

Remember when, probably six years ago slc only had one director of operations-Larry halmerson? Then Barry then Barry and Pete then Just Barry then Barry and rob then rob and Pete. What is the deal there? Why so much redundancy at this level? Having... — read more 

Has anyone that was severed (laid off) by Williams been rehired, applied for a new job with Williams and was at least interviewed by Wiliiams? It looks as though they are back filling former positions.

Saw this in another post. Immediately thought of Williams. You can substitute the appropriate names yourselves... The Problem With American Management. This Guy Just Explained It Perfectly. A Japanese company and a North American company decided to... — read more 

Williams purchased Access Midstream, promised its existence and then stabbed us in the throat. We have been dying a slow painful death since the takeover( never was a merger) . I just hope that the Access employees that are still there , find jobs... — read more
