what the world needs now is...

In order to soar like eagles, we must first get rid of the turkeys. Chevron is full of middle management folks who shuffle emails instead of doing actual work. Lean and mean companies do not need them. The future is bright for those who have skills.

Hi from Exxon

My God is Chevron this broken. Take a look at Exxon's posts. Most are 9 moths old. Exxon is a rather draconian company. Saying that, I am floored by the over riding themes on this board. Did you consider leaving before the down turn? I would think... — read more
