If before I hesitated whether to leave or stay here for a while, now I no longer have any dilemma. The company did a great job to further demoralize the employees. /sarc. After all this, who still wants to stay here? I doubt there are many who do.

Who else got a new boss that has zero qualifications or experience for their new role?
I agree with the McKinsey statements...too bad corporate doesn't realize the guys that actually work within the refinery have had allll those great ideas and know how to implement them. A slap in the face.
Look, this nothing new.
I know we have a new CEO and he brings with him a bevy of clingers that have made a career of being clingers.
A few truths that are clearly defined as upfront postulates:
- McKinsy brings zero as far as technical revelations. They pen ideas from the existing staff nothing more.
- McKinsey is staffed with engineers that are barely 30, most of them were not alive when most of the good refinery engineers were born.
- A few di----t refinery engineers with 10 or so years of engineering think they are "primo".
WRONG!
An engineer should never even be given a lead position on a project with less than 10 years experience.
It is a joke, a laugh whatever you wish to call it, less than 10 years experience on any job means "YOU SUCK".
Sure you may know some things but you have not experienced the real technical world, EPC thrieves, or internal political world.
- At 15 years look back and say "wow that dude wad right".
- McKinsey is a complete technical joke.
Some are nice guys, but they don't know Newtonian flow from Non-Newtonian flow not do they no compressible fluids from noncompressible fluids.
Their job is to mindlessly write mind terds down from plant engineers and attach dollars to the terd thoughts.
Then the P66 corporate guys, most of whom are pretty damn smart, just record the McKinsey jibnerish.
Look if I really wanted to evaluate operations at a refinery, I would send in a team of retired guys not a team of 30 ish somethings who don't know how to change a tire much less analyze a refinery.
Big Cheeze P66 Dudes, check the
Resumes.
The McKinsey PM at Sweeny had 5 years of experience and only 6 months of refinery experience which was at Bayway.
Come on friends!
Good, bad or ugly, that guy doesn't know his Ahole from his nose ho-e in refining.
You corporate guys know better.
McKinsey will not identify a single item during their stay that had not had 3 or more PWRs and had not been on the LRP agenda 3 to 6 times.
McKinsey guys are a bunch of nice kids that know nothing about tje real world of refining.
The funny thing is, the McKinsey joke is taken seriously.
He-l, I dare you, put the resumes of the McKinsey team on the ground in Sweeny online for review.
It is laughable.
Just as laughable, Sweeny has a large number of people leading whole units with less than 10 years of experience.
How long do you think, those kids will last until a major catastrophe occurs?
A person should not even have unit engineer responsibility until they have 10 years of experience in the unit.
That's F'cked Up.
It is going to result in major infrastructure damage and the loss of human life.
No other company is practicing that kind of malfesance.Dont blame the kids. Blame the people irresponsible enough to put them in charge.
Layoffs ain't the problem.
The problem is deeper and more serious.
I’m going be looking but unless something unexpectedly good comes along, I’m going to try my best to stick it out until VCIP time and not let the hit me on my way out.
