Closure in 2023 confirmed. Right after Dallas.
Going to be an interesting week, place is coming apart week by week. More management needs to go, total failure….more useless bodies in P A
Company is dangling ileu by the ankles. It seems they would rather drag out the union negoitation and close the site. 2 HR managers quit, which will give the company x amount of time until they next round of negoitation. Suprise they haven't sack YL yet
It's funny to see the life cycle of the facility. I remember when a farmer called Ed Jablonski farmed that property. It was big news when Exxon bought it. After university I worked in Upstream Production always hoping to make it back home, but never did. Back then people said it was just a Company real estate deal and a place to park some research tools in the meantime, not a serious place for the Company to make money. So funny
We need to fire anyone who ever set foot on the Annandale site in the past years. Then close the site that has produced nothing useful in the 21st century. Hunt the lecherous so called researchers and research managers down and fire them.
Question is why did the two HR managers quit
Everyone knows that Annandale is unsustainable. They closed Paulsboro and moved most of the people to Clinton, just so that the Product Development finding could be used to underwrite the roaming costs of the place.
Since July 2020, the downsizing of staff means that there aren’t enough people to run the store and many projects are running behind schedule or have been cancelled and business departments are not happy with falling output.

Nope, straight to India. BTC will save us all.
Future foot print will be in the Lone Star State, with lots of outsourcing. Can’t wait to see D’O in a cowboy hat….
I believe you, but both leaving at the same time is strange. Any timeline on the completion of the study?
They'll let us know the fate of the site when the footprint study is complete. Until then, any speculation that the site is doomed is just Su--e and Yuk Yuk circle jerking.
Seriously doubt HR leaving had anything to do with insider knowledge. Attrition is high across the entire company.
Say goodbye to Annandale, say goodbye my baby.
If you haven't been looking for a new job, well you may be SOL. The rats left early or were given the golden parachute(YL).
Some solace in the fact PA wing with do nothing O'R and all his loser contractors will be no more.
I know I will milk it to the end. Do as little as possible.
HR - the life-blood of EM.
That sh!te's been outsourced for more than a decade.
Even in shutdown Irving.
Lol, there’s always that one loser who talks about Annandale. Dude, no one cares about Annandale.
When the ship is sinking you know who runs first.. take a que people
Both were useless….
@hoi, that can't be good...
Did they quit or got fired? Maybe they know something we don't🤔
