Has anyone watched this video? I know it’s out there but I’ve been too busy pretending to be busy to watch it.
And This is OK?
For the last 3 years Phillips 66 has been undergoing what Go Go calls Business Transformation. "Transformation" has basically consisted of laying off a few employees at a time once or twice a year and vague promise that things are going to improve in... — read more

Why am I suddenly hearing rumors about layoffs in October?
Did I miss something?
Making a Good Move
I didn’t think it was possible but Go Go has made a good move. The purchase of Cenovus 50% stake in WRB should have been done a long time ago. It just goes to show that even a broken clock is correct 2 times a day.
In These Times
In these trying and uncertain times, strong, competent leadership is required at the top of P66. I respectfully submit that Go Go is not that leader. Or Tractor Man for that matter.
Elliott is Still Around
Elliott recently increased its stake in PSX and now owns ~16 million shares. So they’re not going anywhere.
It’s Too Bad
Phillips 66 offers good pay and good benefits. And before the Go Go regime took over it was a relatively satisfying place to work. Now with the failure of BT. WEP, and never ending layoffs it’s sad place to work. Morale is at rock bottom. Employee... — read more
Been quiet lately
It's been kind of quiet lately, a calm before the storm?
More California News
There are a couple of new stories out of California today. Phillips has settled a wage theft case for ~$12 million. This involves requiring employees to dress out early without being paid, deducting pay for lunches even when the lunches were... — read more
Landmark case verdict reached
Former laid-off employee here. P66 management deserves this for the sh*t show https://natlawreview.com/article/massive-6049-million-verdict-landmark-trade-secret-case
What I’m Hearing
I’m hearing that CP Chem is really having problems right now. I can’t help but think that Go Go was the CEO of that company only few years ago. He even bragged about how great successful that BT was. I hope epilogue is not prologue at P66.
P66 HR hiring a Sr Recruiter
Nice to know that HR is hiring a Sr recruiter when they are not busy laying off good people. Probably need to staff up the HR Team to lay people off faster and bring in cover up teams for the bungling VP HR
More layoffs before September
Is there any truth to those rumors?

Party Time NYC
Because we convincingly won in our proxy contest, ML thought it wise to host a party in NYC to celebrate with the core team and the BOD. Can’t make this sh*t up.

Periodic L & D Reminder
This is the periodic reminder that while L & D continues to have good employees at the different locations, L and D “Leadership” continues to perform very poorly.
Truly an embarrassing place to work for (Walking people out like Criminals)
Phillips 66 (P66) is truly an sad place to work for , how do you think escorting people out like criminals who have worked tirelessly for you (12 hours a day for a measly pay you can make at McDonalds) would boost morale. What happened to a 1 month... — read more

CNBC - Phillips 66
CNBC had the CEO on Squawk Box yesterday to discuss 2nd quarter earnings. My question is why? Companies report earnings every day. Our earnings were ok but not close to being spectacular so why give publicity to just another company reporting... — read more
Earnings
I’m a little surprised that the 2nd quarter earnings beat expectations even though the analysts had lowered expectations a week or so ago. We still didn’t make as much as VLO and they don’t even have chemicals or big midstream operations. One... — read more

Everything is a decision - aka you are being robbed

BTC
Since we're no longer doing research, is there any word on the future of the BTC?
Surely He Jests
Go Go said at an energy conference that employees are really buying in to BT and because there are fewer employees they are getting more done and their jobs are more enjoyable. Surely he doesn’t really believe that!
Projects layoffs
Have heard of three so far today following the announcement this morning. What's everyone seeing? Gotta love central projects managing sample stations and minor jumpers. That will definitely improve efficiency.

Anyone stay at the new hotel on the stone?

Why Safety Keeps Coming up in the Surveys
