Pulled out of potential take over offically today. Last remote hope for extra servance is dead.

AA should resign, new lawsuit filed about safety problems. It's unfair to the recently terminated employees that where working hard to improve safety.
Keith Meister
Lot of these safety issues he mentioned where cleaned up in the Northeast or are being cleaned up, seems like the best kept secret at Williams, Some credit given, not much though, maybe somebody should of ran it up a flag pole when it was done. As... — read more
Corvex is Hiring
They are hiring, looking for consultants on how to run Williiams.
Why do I have to retire so soon?
Fred P gets to takes years of doing nothing before he stops getting paid. And not so sure what John S is doing either ... don't see much getting done there either? How can we have project excellence, if we don't have projects?
CNBC
Great interview with Alan Armstrong toady on CNBC. Promoting the Marcellus/Utica Shale Assets. Unfortunately a lot of the ones that did the heavy lifting and cleaned up the mess, got terminated. As they say life isn't fair.
The next reorganization and layoffs are planned by October.
Good luck to the worker bees who get stuff done.
MBA
Exactly, Mickey Mouse with a MBA Degree, could make money in the natural gas business. All this squeaking about how bad things are is nothing more that.
Dividend
All this talk about how bad the company was doing during layoffs was total bs They will be backfilling positions soon just watch.
Job Listings
At last count, ETE has 181 jobs posted. WMB has 18. Not sure what ETE is planning for layoffs, but its obvious that more are coming to WMB/WPZ. How long until its business as usual in Tulsa? I was somewhat (pleasantly) amazed that there were no OE or... — read more
Accountability
Did Alan mention firing anybody related to the merger fiasco. Is anybody going to be held accountable for first believing in the 2 billion syngeries number that was released to the sharelholders, followed by the 94% drop, or is the just a back of... — read more
Training
Noticed a few fired employees have all ready landed high level jobs at various midstream companies expect much more of this, costly for wiiiams.
July/August Layoffs
Has anyone actually heard anything about the next round of layoffs? I'm sure there is another round coming but was wondering if anyone has heard anything about it. Not speculation something viable.
Cnbc
Talking about the surplus of managers and bosses, this morning, on average could be cut in half and the average company would be better. Get angry about a bloated management. Reminds me of Williams, exactly.
Exactly
Me too, not surprised either, in fact was expecting it. If doesn't got easier, college costs and medical expenses are soaring, while wages and jobs are disappearing, unless you want to work taking care of elderly folks. No wonder everyone is so... — read more
WILD GOOSE CHASE
All ready started advertising for backfilling and rehiring, 13 open positions on web site. Total waste of time, money and resources, lot more effective and ethical to call back let go employees to fill the open positions, par for the course for this... — read more
Cost Cutting versus Layoffs
• The Accounts Payable system is still having issues where it can pay an invoice twice • WIPRO is still closing tickets before issues resolved, then opening new ones when user complains which creates an unrepresentative volume of tickets • After a... — read more
Raw Deal
Shareholders voted yes for merger and got nothing, raw deal. Just like the terminated employees got, a raw deal.

Resignation letters
Hedge fund managers resignation letters posted on web site, laughed again. Tell these guys the way to make money is to buy low and sell high. Bagholders, cry babies and losers. Lol
News pending
Trading Halted, News pending? Interesting
Good luck
To all layed off Williams employees: it's a tough break. The way the layoffs were handled was one thing, giving hope of another check that may or may not have come was just cruel. I wish you all the best of luck, it is rough out there but don't give... — read more
Summary
Glad to see these directors resign. They are just hedge fund managers, don't know squat about running a natural gas business. They are cry babies -and bought the stock high and now are bag holders. It doesn't even matter that much, because they own a... — read more
Directors gone
Business as usual, Looks like management has won, close vote. You could not make this stuff up.🇺🇸
Watch and Learn
Williams will not recover a penny from ETE. In fact, nothing will change except the price of oil and natural gas which are both heading higher. Anybody that surrives will be a big winner and they will surely take credit for it. End of story!
Damages Due
Williams recognizes the practical fact that ETE has refused to close the merger. Williams has concluded that it is in the best interests of its stockholders to seek, among other remedies, monetary damages from ETE for its breaches WHAT ABOUT THE... — read more
More Layoffs Coming
Reliable source ... Employee recently left Williams and when supervisor was asked about backfilling the position, the response was no due to another round of layoffs comings.
Sorry Fred Pace, no mega bonus for your sitting around doing nothing for the past 2 years!
Fred Pace and all the other VP's, Directors, etc. with no reports ... you will not be getting your big bonus from the merger. We kept you employed at Williams doing nothing for this long ... maybe we can keep you on forever ... we'll just layoff more... — read more
Shareholders
Shareholders approved deal!
Seems to be over
Looks like we are not getting another servance check, if is not over yet, but pretty close. A Free advice, don't waste your time, thinking about it,
Salt Lake City?
Any Williams pipeline layoffs due in Salt Lake City after the ETE court verdict? All one one hears about is further layoffs in Tulsa and Houston.
change is good
We need fresh blood, new leaders who see a bright future and have imagination, people that believe in the growth of the oil and natural gas business and the ultimate syngeries growth produces, no more excuses embrace change and get out of the way. Do... — read more
This company is a mess. Alan must go.
Don't see how Alan and his cronies survive this debacle. Williams leadership needs a shakeup. Recent cuts were just protecting friends and family, so much junk still remains. This company needs new leadership and a full re-org. WMB has lots of good... — read more
