Hello,

Just read through this thread and it sounds inviting.
I know a little bit about Tulsa.I know there is a Whirlpool building around there some where.I work at the one in Ohio and in march it will be 30 years.At one point i even thought of getting some kind of transfer out there just to get out of town.I definately need a change and am looking for something else.There have been several people in management getting transfered out there because of trouble they were in here.Not all of them but a few.Some come back but usually they stay.Definately a thought.Cheep living and a job the next day.Cant beat that.I am sure i would be looking for something else and not back at the "Big W".Not real happy there.
If someone can manage to get a picture of that building and post it i would be forever grateful.I never saw a picture of it.

Thank you for the thread Diva.
I enjoyed reading.

That's the best google could do. LOL

I know a lot of folks out at Whirlpool. They must like it, because they seem to stay a long time!

Whirlpool is maybe 10-15 minutes from downtown. The drive is nice because you're kind of going the opposite of what everyone else is doing. If you like the suburbs, it's very close to Owasso, which a lot of people like.

I prefer Tulsa proper, but I'm not much of a suburbanite.

Guthrie Green, named after folk icon and Tulsa native Woody Guthrie (most famous for writing This Land is Your Land), has finally opened, and they are putting on free concerts every weekend right now!

I'm stoked about it because there were no great outdoor performance venues, til now. You can bet Rocky Horror Picture Show will be playing there next year!

Here's the lineup:

The front of the building looks just like home!
Thanks Diva!That "slanted ring" is susposto mean the universe.If i have the story right.I think the meaning means that every home in the universe should/will have a Whirlpool product in it because they are the best!Matter of opinion over here.Not real sure what they make.We only make the washers.Thinking Tulsa makes the counter top appliances or friges and freezers???I cant remember.What do they make??
Beings you know people that work there i was wondering how your people like working there??We get payed pretty good for this area.It is one of the higest payed businesses.We have Maytag people in management here and things went crazy when they came in.Whirlpool bought Maytag about 4 years ago.We are nonunion and Maytag was union.Think that is where some of the crazieness came from.The guy that closed down Maytag came in our plant and became President.Kinda a scary thought.We were all thinking if he was here to close us down.He has moved up the ladder already.
Hey JAGG any info you have be intrested to read.Do you know anybody that works there??If you do,do they like it there?

Thank you very much for the picture and your time.

Hey Rusted, I'm sorry to say I don't know anyone who works there. But I work for a trucking company and once in a great while if we are short handed when I get back from my normal run to Kansas City I will make a pick up or two in the city. Sometimes that involves going to pick up a trailer at whirlpool. It has been awhile but I have been there several times.

They make stoves and ranges I believe. Most of the guys I know are engineers, and they've been there like 10-16 years. I used to know a few people on the assembly line a few years ago who really liked it there too.

Tulsa is an awesome little city. Anyone who'd like to come visit is good for a free tour from me and I'll bet we can talk JAGG into cooking for you. Hy's pretty good with a grill.

rustedrims · 10-01-2012, 01:53 PM

Hey Diva and JAGG,

You two make Tulsa sound like a nice place to live and visit.Thinking i might plan a spring vacation if the offer still stands on the tour and cook-out.Eating something off the grill and a big day of sight seeing sounds like a good day.
Sooo is the 918 crazy to drive on?and is it the road that gets you into Tulsa??
Full of construction??Wonderig.....
