When will we be rid of the worst leadership is company history? I know the board of directors have no brains at all for keeping this clown car of a ELT team we have. Whoever decided MW was the best choice for CEO should be absolutely embarrassed. He's absolutely the most hated CEO in Chevron history. Can't get worse than this. Fire Wirthless!

Don't trust your manager
If he/she says you're safe, it doesn't have to be true. They like to smile and say the things that'll keep you off their backs, but most of it is not true. Make sure to look out for yourself.
Watch! Do what USAA did.
UTSA, it's time for a shakeup. Eighmy take heed. Your top execs are fear based leaders who hire "their own" and their family. Start with your BA division. It's HORRIBLE!
Manager Layer fat prevails
Multitude of high performing ICs are gone while the 6/7 layers of management fat prevails, almost untouched. Hearing that “managers in the next round” for years and years but nothing changes. The spectacularly d*mb , incredibly political and waste-of-space low- and mid-level managers in technical sales are strutting around our U.K. like they are the cat’s a$$ and own the place. Nice selfies from parties at Vegas on social media too. Nothing will change because they have a Patel God. It’s disgusting how deliberately the U.K. org is being decimated for the last 5 years.
AT-T to acquire Quantum Fiber... It's going to get worse.
Quantum installer, today systems down, can't activate eq, can't configure WiFi, happens all the time, if you want to bi--h about something watch the $ at t is going to lose. Dang.
Why are there so many Managers here
They got me reporting to 2 managers, and fielding requests from the layer above them. Each of them wants to have a 1:1, each wants a status update, each is dead weight that gets in my way from being productive. They really need to do away with management and make those with the most knowledge just rise to the situation at hand. Such a waste of shareholder money. They also need to start firing these Indians who email 600 people for the smallest task they completed, only email people directly involved. The manager of these people should be fired.
Morris Plains
Morris Plains is bad. Horrible management employees are looking over their backs. It’s not a good environment. The future doesn’t look bright here
Well well well
Looks like those horrendous hires over proven leaders haven’t worked out as well. Who would have thought it??! Weak a-s recruiters and a-s AVPs. People quitting and more layoffs.
Intel as an Employer
You probably already know this, working there.
Since BK and ACT, Intel has been hyperfocused on getting more work for the same or less money. ACT, the layoff when no layoff was necessary was the give away, but there were other things, like the focus on H1B’s. I don’t need to tell you it’s destroying the company; first you focus on getting a labor force that can properly fulfill your task needs and then you work on containing costs, especially when your product is a fragile cash cow. But instead our leadership considers labor to be “the only cost we can cut”
LBT is 100% on this and I’m sure you figured out on your own it’s just going to get more and more miserable as time goes by. The only way you can resist is leaving (but they love attrition)
HR
I recently left from the HR team. While I was only there a brief time it was the most toxic environment I have ever worked within. Politics galore starting at the top!!! Major change is needed for HR leadership!!! Get out like I did!!!
Dell’s Betrayal: Selling Out Americans for Pennies
If you’re a tech support agent, stop fooling yourself , your job’s fu--ing dead. By the end of the year, Dell’s going to bury it. They don’t need you, they don’t need America, they don’t need jack sh-t beyond two godda-n continents, and they’re almost there. The whole “follow-the-sun” cr-p? That was a fu--ing lie from the start. A shiny little carrot they dangled while they gutted the teams behind closed doors. L2s and L3s, congratulations , you’re the ones they’ve decided to sla-ghter first.
And let’s talk timing. These clowns are pulling this sh-t right when the Trump administration is already sick to death of IT companies hoarding H1Bs and farming out jobs overseas. Dell’s dum--ss execs are literally juggling grenades with the pins half-pulled. I hope they get fu--ing shredded in the fallout. They deserve every ounce of backlash, every investigation, every godda-n lawsuit. They’ve bled Americans dry, pocketed billions, demanded loyalty and personal sacrifices — and in return? They sp-t in our faces.
And for the so-called “managers” and “directors” reading this : fu-k you. You don’t deserve your cushy titles or your bloated salaries. You’re lying parasites who fed your teams bullsh-t about “transparency” while sharpening the kn--e behind their backs. Your people gave everything, and you fed them straight into the grinder without a shred of guilt. You don’t fight for your employees, you don’t protect them, you just bend over and let the VPs use you like the pathetic little puppets you are. I hope when your team goes down, you get dragged down with them. Fired. Humiliated. Exposed as the gutless corporate wh--es you’ve always been.
The End! OR New Beginning!
Today is 29 Aug 2025 and it Just ended (like a lot of other US employees) my 4 year journey at bp.
At this time i would like to thank the CEO, board members, EVPs, SVPs, and other members of the executive team for destroying careers of a lot of hardworking and people smarter then them. Also, thanks to the executive team for running this company to the ground and failing to own upto their mistakes or having any accountability for their decisions that has got the company to its current state. Additional thank you for continuing to collect your bonuses without any meaningful sacrifices while laying off workers with fraction of your salaries. You all must be very of yourselves for doing a tremendous job destroying the company value while destroying people's livelihoods. You all deserve bonus Energize points. Kudos!
Management is clueless and horrible
New or old, I can't think of one good leader here.
Tired of getting denied for trainings
They always have "no budget"
No one goes to conferences, no one does anything to really push their career.
This company is just full of excuses for one thing another.
Im tired and done stagnating my career here.
Im getting off the titanic; everyone else should too but lets be honest if you are here for more than 5 years, you are already at the dead end of your career and everyone knows it
Amount
FIS Acquires Amount - Thoughts?
They are so pathetic where they refuse to build internal initiatives toward Cloud and AI, they acquire yet another company just to pull them down and leave them in limbo just like they are doing to Dragonfly right now. This company doesn't know how to do acquisitions let alone proper assimilation into something that's actually meaningful. This leadership team is one of the worst I've ever seen in any organization. Entirely clueless.
Most Employees have been Demoralized By Leadership
Leadership at all levels are responsible for making employees feel like cr-p.
If you were honest with yourself you would look around and see most of the people around you have been treated like shi_.
There is no way to win employees back unless the new leadership proves they value the employees.
Work on saving knowledge!
I don't understand how it's possible to lay people off when myself and my coworkers are so swamped with work that we are working 12 hour days plus weekends on salary?? So stupid! Reorg! We've lost so many longer timers with so much knowledge..we literally had to hire 3 people to fill one of their positions! Just one! But instead they are hiring more upper management!
Top Down Hierarchy
20 years with company I've always felt my ideas would be heard at any level...As a result I've made incredible impacts and generated value while leveraging cross functional teams.
Last few weeks I've noticed where basically I was told to "stay in my lane" and things are feeling very top down.
Is this the new chevron?
Why we have so many incompetent SR leaders
Why we have so many incompetent and unqualified people in Sr leadership role in Technology ? Cloud program is a joke with PC , AC etc.. they just got surrounded or shielded by people who should not be in the employment. Is it same everywhere ?
anyone else feeling stuck and abused?
I came here from Accenture after a long career with Tata and Deloitte. Perficient's culture is surprising poor compared to these firms and this has a lot to do with absent leadership. I only hear about things when something is wrong, but never hear when things are done right. Is it just me or does this place struggle to support it's staff? I've never felt more like a cog in a machine as I do here.
Aramco wastes money like crazy ... yet squeezes employees and contractors
There is a long list of Aramco's failed investments over the years. Let's start with Chemicals: Sadara, Petro Rabigh, Rapid and there are more coming. Wall Street research suggests that Aramco will be lucky to get their money back from these over 20 - 30 years, and Rapid isn't even in Saudi Arabia and thus creates no jobs inside the Kingdom. And all of these pale in comparison to Jafurah unconventional gas. The government has given Aramco over $100 billion to build infrastructure for gas that has yet to arrive in meaningful quantities. Management's solution to all these bad decisions seems to be to squeeze employees and contractors. Oh, and borrow more money ... or as Aramco's CFO likes to say "optimize the capital structure". I think I can safely say that everyone outside of Senior management is disgusted. Its not just Expats, good Saudis with options don't seem to want anything to do with Aramco either.
