Lashier's Q2 Takeaway
My take on Lashier's email about Q2 earnings is that he's basically saying "good job everyone, but we're still gonna have layoffs".

People quiting and walking away
anyone else seeing people leave like never before?
Blackrock
Does anyone know much of a percentage Blackrock owns in P66? Are they the ones in the drivers seat behind business transformation and Inclusion &Diversity?
So called Transformation?
With the downturn in the economy and consultants eliminating jobs, any news if they will target P66 employees or target contractors?
McKinsey
McKinsey has been to Ponca City and Bayway. Any new out of those places about the Transformation?
June 15
But what does that mean??
Future of Emerging Energy
Let’s see if I have this right. AE66 was supposed to drive transformation, innovation and improved financial position. Instead it has delivered minimal innovation, nothing truly transformative to the industry, increased costs, decreased quality and... — read more
Cost to restart a refinery

If they increase the amount of diversity training, that will help the bottom line.
There's no escaping outsourcing
Never lull yourself into a false sense of security. You're not safe as long as there's somebody in another country who's willing to do your job for a fraction of what you make. This has been happening for years and this will continue to happen... — read more
Consolidation, EOI, layoffs
Most likely outcome: consolidate similar functions, and then solicit EOI due to redundancy. Finally a layoff to reach the reduction goal. IT’s attrition is better than expected lately, likely most people are waiting for EOI. The market could not be... — read more
Earnings report
Since layoffs usually come after a bad earnings report, what are the chances we're in for some cuts after today? I've been looking around and from what I can see, things are looking good ahead of the investors' call, but you can never be certain when... — read more

There will be no layoffs
Why in the world would you worry about layoffs at a time like this? Things have never been better for O&G than they are now. Relax and enjoy it while it lasts (and it will last for a while, I think we can all see that). I don't understand people who... — read more

This new guy isn’t great at keeping the bad news under wraps.
Middle management always survives
I'd like to know how the bloated middle management always survives layoffs? There are so many layers that could easily be removed and yet in 99% of situations, they're not affected by layoffs. Makes you think who really makes the decisions when it... — read more

I hope that our results will exceed expectations as well
That resulted in Valero's fourth-quarter refining margin jumping to $3 billion from $1.1 billion a year earlier, portending bright scenarios for peers Marathon Petroleum (MPC.N) and Phillips 66 (PSX.N) that are yet to report... — read more

There is no clear career path

Alliance Layoffs
Sad situation. Bob Herman goes to the refinery a month or so before the terminal announcement and tells the employees that the refinery will be running again in the spring either by P66 or a new owner. Comes back a few weeks later and lays everyone... — read more
Phillips 66 Layoffs 2022
What are your thoughts about potential Phillips 66 layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Alliance Oil Terminal
What an asinine idea. Herman & Company botched the sale and now this idea just when refining is heating up again. Maybe trying to shake down the state and local officials for tax breaks/incentives??
Vaccine Email - P66 Doesn’t Respect Health Freedom

Covid Vax Mandate!
P66 is embracing Bidens (OSHA’s) Emergency Temporary Standard and will be forcing employees to vaccinate or pay the consequence. The government is turning corporations into the VAX police, why is P66 rolling over and complying with this obvious... — read more
AE66 2.0 - Cost Cutting
Any thoughts on AE66 2.0? If you read the email, it's all about cost cutting. I've heard they want to cut costs by $1.0B. Kind of hard to do without layoffs.

Anyone else hearing Bayway and Los Angeles are on the chopping block next after Alliance is gone?
