Hey Elliot!

New Titles Bingo
What is the long-term goal of the retitling post restructure exercise? My guess: It will be used as a way to delevel people who don’t meet the new job architecture skillset requirements, with a goal to push them out of the company.
Is it Just Me?
I have to say that I didn’t get much out of the L and D Month of Learning, a little but not a lot for the amount of effort they put into it.It seems that group was better a few years ago.

Why do we have so many High Levels in IT.
IT has so many departments and similar functions. IT is a service, why not eliminate most of them by contractors and real IT companies. So many IT workers looking for work with AI so the pay and market availability is now a great time to lower our... — read more

United Way - Just Don’t
Another long and tedious United Way season at Phillips 66 has begun. We are being asked yet again to give to an organization where nearly 20% of your money goes to pay for administration and fundraising efforts. We are being asked to give so that... — read more

Collage Graduate’s
Is this true for Phillips 66, 75% of the company’s are having problems keeping collage graduate's? I have a friend that wants to retire but he was asked to stay to get a person trained. For now every new person that came in has quit after one month.
Where are there any good leaders?
They can’t all be gone can they? Where they at?

Go Go’s New Video
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

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?

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
