Topics regarding layoffs at Phillips 66

Topics regarding layoffs at Phillips 66

Phillips 66 is a good company

Now retired and worked for 41 years with them needless to say I have seen good & bad times, and not all were roses. But Phillips had made me what I am today happy and retired, for this I say thank you

Undecided

I’m undecided about what I want to happen with CP Chem. As a layman, it does seem to be a pretty good investment. On the other hand, I’d love to see ‘Ol Gogo be forced to either sell it or be forced to resign. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what... — read more 

Earth to the ELT

You are not leading. You have been AWOL. You don’t take enough interest in the business or the people doing the work. You are the reason we are here.

The Borger Refinery - The Flare

The flare at the Borger Refinery is very big today, indicating a unit shutdown or some other problem. This is a pretty common occurrence out here. As big a failure as Businesses Malformation is elsewhere, it is exponentially worse here. They laid... — read more

Stick to Core Business

We are an Oil Company! Why do we have so much corporate non related core business people in Houston HQ & Bartlesville. Seems like we have so much duplication in IT especially, so many overpriced middle managers, doing what? Refining is really thin... — read more 

Not a Good Place to Be

With Elliott in the picture, L and D mid and upper level “leadership” is not a very good place to be right now!

Former VP and head of BT to McKinsey

Anyone find it suspicious that the guy over the BT, who was also a refinery manager at several locations, took some time to lay low after retiring in July then start with McKinsey just last month? Wonder what his take has been this whole... — read more 

Going After the Board

8K filed with the SEC. Candidates to contend with our current members up for re-election and then proposing a change to governance that would make all of them vulnerable in 2026 is how I read the filing. Things are heating up.

ELT changes?

Now that ZG is going, do you think they will really keep the ELT at the current 8 or do you think they will add someone actually competent to deal with Elliott or just stick with the DEI beauty queens on display.

Culture

I've been feeling uneasy about the way our company culture has changed, especially over the last few years. It feels like we've lost our way, and things have become a business transaction between management and employees. It's all about what we... — read more

Hiring Freeze?

Talk at HQ will announce hiring freeze, and truth.

Want Elliott to take over? Remember what we get.

BT started when Elliott got involved the first time. Don’t think that their involvement is going to be sunshine and roses. You’re going to get BT2.0. Break off assets, cut jobs, slash costs.

We’re Waiting

We’re all waiting to see the Phillips 66 response to the Elliott letter.

Work Elimination Program Lawsuit?

I felt like I was forced a reduction in SGL and salary because of my age? Has anyone taken legal action, against P66? Any thoughts!

Big Elliott News

Elliott has raised its stake in Phillips 66 and plans to push it to sell or spin off its midstream business. I always did think that had just quietly gone away.

VCIP Question Thread!

Last town hall made it abundantly clear that the ELT reads the layoff, so what all do you guys want to ask that you're not willing to put in the "anonymous" Q&A form? I'll start: We're reporting a lot of margin and cost savings, but it doesn't seem... — read more 

Who’s Leaving?

How many of you plan on ditching as soon as VCIP hits the bank? Count me in! Should be all time high turnover from grumblings I hear. Get ready to leave or do more work from someone who left.

Soap is NOT a LUXURY.

This is in response to below email. These types of cut backs are extreme and last time I checked OSHA says: Employers must maintain restrooms in a sanitary condition. Restrooms must provide hot and cold running water or lukewarm water, hand soap or... — read more 

Big wigs Juicy share acquisitions?!

Its around this time of year where our lovely ELT make themselves a few million dollars by giving themselves their shares, how many we expecting them to take? usually a good indication of the VCIP to as "controllable costs" which seem to get worse... — read more

DEI at PSX - How Will it Evolve

There is a lot of news about the government’s rollback of DEI under Trump, supported by the SC ruling in the Harvard case. Many major corporations are removing DEI offices and eliminating DEI in the workplace altogether. We seem to be well behind... — read more

Phillips 66 Could do This

I saw a show this morning featuring the CEO of a company much larger than P66. For part of the show the CEO was shown dressed in jeans and a sweater just walking around and chatting with random employees about various subjects. It appeared to be... — read more 

Buyin" Stuff

Why is the company paying top dollar for new NGL assets while allowing the refineries to get more and more rundown?

I like turtles

As I sit here clicking away at the ethics compliance certification and GET cbt, I can't help but laugh at the irony of it all. Do as we say, not as we do right? Happy 2025! New year same sh-tshow😂

Volunteer for layoff?

Are there any HR implications if I tell my boss I want to volunteer for a layoff? I’ve got a ton of time with the company and don’t want to be here anymore.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! What exciting joys do you think 2025 will bring?
