Pretty freakin' awful. CVX Management preaches accountability. Watson and his buddies need to look in the mirror. The "leadership" are not worth what they're paid. Time for a new lay-off, at the Executive level.

We had a great thread going with "Exxon ceo - secretary of state!" And lo and behold, it is gone! All the 200+ posts. What a brutal censorship! A layoff board does not have to be talking about layoff all the time. The current and future political... — read more
