Thread regarding Phillips 66 layoffs

Seems to be enough leaving lately without layoffs. I think the stress of constantly looking over your shoulder is getting to some. It's end of year and facing the forced rankings will get you every time.

@hv the new head of refining will take out cost finally. The data shows one thing: too many people at the sites relative to competitors.

By doing it in small groups, they avoid the negative publicity that would occur with a major layoffs and they don't have to address it internally, either. There never has been or will be comprehensive strategy of how to position the company for any measurable growth. "Just hire another consultant," will never result in success.

These layoffs of 1 or 2 employees at a time are just destroying morale of the remaining employees. It’s just terrible wondering if you or your friends are going to be the next ones called into an unscheduled HR meeting.
What do Go-Go and Tractor Man even think they’re doing?

I heard they just renewed with Accenture, bunch of morans!!!

Wish they would look at the useless ICS Group!
Such a overlap of job duties, and Refining PCN has way better people.
I don't understand why they exist!!!

Any news on Borger Refinery

Org restructuring is in a constant loop, refining is in trouble with the headcount reduction focus and effort to reduce your pay and cap your growth. Despite massive gains with the stock price leadership wants to squeeze every penny out of you.

When your with God there should be no need to worry. Some times we should be like horses,
Not wild stallions but like one being tame one. Also using a bridle allows god to direct you to where you need to go.

Yes, will be targeted again and will be done to try to make it all go under the radar. Just a few here and there. Hearing that there will be more in finance, IT in Bartlesville, and some further reductions in the central procurement group (field based should be ok).
