Recruiting people in the SE and the Gulf Coast isn’t hard, but trying to recruit college kids in the Chicago, Los Angeles, and PNW areas to to staff up the refineries has been difficult.


That's just general recruitment though and not because of people leaving there job in the name of climate change.

this is my absolute favorite expression. The "climate crisis". The most absurd fear porn saying of this generation.

and the "double talk" bit

all the majors are investing millions of dollars into methane reduction, freshwater neutral, spill prevention, etc

so even if they don't care about the "climate crisis", they are still investing heavily, at minimum, to attract investors that do care

other than completely shutting down, I'm not sure what more anyone would want

39 people? I better go fill up before the rush starts.

Most, though not all, of their interviewees are young people who work in white collar jobs in the oil and gas sector.


So 100% useless gen z idiots whose departure was actually beneficial to the company.


It’s amazing these soft idiots could even muster the courage to write this with so useless of a source. But the propaganda must be posted!

I mean.. I don’t think anthropogenic global warming is a significant threat, but people have the right to work or not work for whomever they wish.

Whether you ‘believe’ climate change or not, you’re paying for it now and the price tag is getting bigger every year.

Directly through insurance rates, housing, energy and food costs. Indirectly through a myriad of things like more immigration.

So basically no one is leaving their job over this.


39 people total globally? More people will quit McDonald's in a single day.

Family member used to work in Oil and Gas engineering and they are having a hard hard hard time getting very competent young people to take the jobs, even at very high wages. They just aren't going to school for it.

They have to keep hiring old semi-retired people and crazy wages.


This all day. I work for a major and have for years. Have been through several market swings and right now we are on the up swing. Market is heating up and we are out on the street for certain positions but it is definitely a different feel this time around. We are getting less takers from the 22-35 range. I wouldn't say its climate change per se but maybe related. Unfortunately, I think its more the image of working for "evil oil". That demographic would rather work for the tech industry instead of explaining to their friends they work for an oil company. Obviously, I don't agree with the view but that's my .02 cents from the inside looking out.
