I missed the employee mtg What did they tell us now?
Phillips 66 Denver layoffs and closing
P66 is closing its Denver office and laying off the employees today.
Certain employees receive SRA
Im left pondering why certain posts are removed when us employees expose the now Tulsa Control Center. With everything that has happened and the poor judgement and the constant behind door meetings and certain supervisors being exposed would this... — read more
Human Capital - The headhunter
Over the last couple years I found that mgmt here has decided they would rather use human capital or other headhunters to place sub-par people into upper mgmt roles than to take employee suggestions on who might be a good hire. We have gone... — read more
Alliance Refinery
Call your shot - with Valero picking up Lyondell Houston, who picks up Alliance? Drove past there for a fishing trip a few months ago - no activity at the site, nothing demo'd, just a security car in the parking lot. Owned by Harvest Midstream now... — read more
Only Some More Photo Ops
Go-Go other higher-ups have been showing up at various United Way events. As usual, they’re only a chance to get their pictures taken in their #66 jerseys and then leave as soon as they can. I haven’t seen Tractor Man, which is unusual because he... — read more
Open Employee Survey
Since we all know that the anonymous employee survey is anything but...and the results are carefully repackaged... Let's use this space to openly and fairly rank a few questions: I would recommend PSX as a great place to work. I am inspired by... — read more
Bayway Updates - Incomplete Information
Phillips 66 has posted updates to the ongoing labor negotiations. These updates dates contain incomplete information. The company has posted salary offers, changes to the holiday schedule and a revised time of progression for operations. What it... — read more
Heavy Handed
I’m having a hard time understanding why P66 is being so heavy handed with the contract situation at the Bayway Refinery. What would it have hurt to keep on negotiating instead of locking out the represented employees? What are these employees going... — read more
Greatest place on earth
Rumors are east coast just got a lot more parking spots..... and temporarily less represented.
Employee Survey
Is anyone surprised by Rich Harbison’s letter acknowledging the deficiencies in this company? Specifically Action taking, AI Impact, Recognition, Career Opportunities, and Ethical Standards amongst the lowest scoring elements.
Commercial = Emerging Energy
Is commercial growth the next EE or the real thing? How can something that is not a reported segment be a growth segment? Is this just one of those things we talk about externally and then have to unwind? Is real value being created for our assets... — read more
Who is Tractor Man?
I want to be up to date with the gossip and also want to know who to avoid.
Phillips 66 and H1B
Apparently this is a no no topic. Perhaps the company should be put under the microscope after the news today! Microsoft, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, Cognizant, HCL and Capgemini hit by US H-1B, Green Card crackdown. My hope is it goes beyond the above... — read more
Bayway to eliminate maintenance contractor
The company has been there for a long time, changed ownership and they are down to small crews for each trade. The plant is planning a large scale turnaround in 2028 and will let the house mechanics do the work until then.
1 Year Performance Update
Ahead of next week’s board meeting let’s revisit the 1 year returns for PSX and their peers: PSX: +108% VLO: +150% MPC: +166% PBF: +209%
Refining Upgrade
So new head of Refining coming back to a company that should have never let him go. A good upgrade for the company but a clear indictment on the current second in command of Refining. Good for the board to see he is not capable.
4th quarter layoffs
I'm working with a lot of worried folks but we're not seeing or hearing anything to justify the worry. Anyone got anything solid on this?
Stock is doing amazingly well
Does that mean we shouldn't worry about layoffs for a while?
Trucker strike
Is there going to be one. Hold on this could be a ruff ride
Force low ratings is a terrible idea - senior management must fix
For a company full of people climbing over themselves to push AI ideas - I have a challenge for you. Ask AI what the actual impact of forced low ratings in a major company. Not to steal the thunder here but - it’s a total failure - across the... — read more
Refinery investment in the USA
It seems like this could be the perfect time to bring Congress an idea that deserves serious consideration: investing in a new, state-of-the-art refinery in the United States. There hasn't been a new refinery built in the USA since 1977, building... — read more
I check a lot of different companies discussion boards
I read a lot of different company discussions boards but I think Phillips 66 is the most active I've come across. There must be some serious deep rooted problems within the company. These boards can have a few resentful ex employees but that rarely... — read more
Ok, If You Say So
I’ve been seeing posts from various L and D team members bragging about how great this year’s MoL was. I thought it was just the same old junk as in previous years.
Another Day, Another Day Lagging
Oil is down, refining equities surging. PSX up 1.7%, VLO up 2.9% and MPC 2.2% The hole deepens
Application status
What does “under secondary review” typically mean. Will it just sit there until it inevitably goes away, or does that status actually mean something in Philips 66 hiring process. Thanks for any insight!
War in Iran saved P66
Our earnings would be in the toilet if it wasn’t for the mess in Iran.
Going to the White House
A group of energy companies is meeting at the White House tomorrow in and effort to develop a plan to lower gasoline prices. I’m sure Go Go will be there because they’ll need someone to bring coffee and donuts to other executives.
Continuous Improvement Advisor, trash position
tell me what they are doing
CFO Comments
There have been a lot of comments about the CFO and CHRO of Phillips recently. I wanted to start a thread to consolidate views on these two as I have recently interviewed with both and considering a senior role at Phillips 66. Can you help me by... — read more
I was so bored so I passively interviewed
Within a month I got an offer with a 20% raise. I really didn't plan on leaving but I'm not wasting this opportunity. This is just to say that there are jobs out there, in case you were not applying thinking the job market had nothing to offer.
That Must Be a Record for Deletion
Earlier I posted about L and D. The post was up barely and hour before it was deleted. I don’t know why, I’ve made worse posts before that didn’t get deleted. I must’ve struck a nerve with someone!!!
PXAP missed a golden opportunity to merge?
TRGP soars and locks a 20-year deal with Exxon. Now Sandhills line may be their next target.
P66/Marathon deal likely facing antitrust
lack of standalone refiners
Just Move the Goalposts
An analyst somewhere says that Phillips 66 is in the wrong peer group. The analyst says that because of Midstream and Chemicals our peers should be Exxon, Chevron and other similarly integrated energy companies. If we did that we’d be outperforming... — read more
Propel soon to be $1 BILLION
Accrued $928 million and paying 10% interest per year on a base of $833 million.
I like to win, these complaints are a joke
Q2 was a good quarter for all of us. I know I worked hard for these numbers and many others. Easy to lose that in a thread full of noise. Wanted to put something positive on the out here: the work is showing up in our numbers and winning feels good... — read more
Earnings
Well, PSX earnings were about what we all expected them to be: adequate but not blockbuster like VLO and MPC.
