Walking through the buildings this morning that has become an endless and never ending corn maze of “improvements”, it dawned on me, Chevron is lost. From elevators, escalators, college dorm style offices, orgs that don’t work, consultants ripping us off, workflows in the name of simplicity that accomplish the opposite, lack of accountability, zero clarity and more, we are lost. None of this helps us make more oil, gas and profit and YES, that is what we are supposed to be doing. All this waste and not one thing is improved. Not one. All are worse. No project should be considered without answering the question of how it makes things better for employees so they can help Chevron make more oil, gas and profit.

@ep Houston modernization plan (laughable)
@OP how long can this charade last? There is institutional rot and everyone is so enriched that change and improvement is resisted
" I am 52 and if I include lump sum and severance should have about 5.5. That’s about 240k per year with the 4% rule well below my base pay, bonus and stock that I make every year. To maintain the a lower standard of living, tuition for kids for another 8-9 years, health care, property taxes, taking care of extended family, two weddings in the next 5 years at 250k each, vehicles, insurance, taxes on retirement income and have at least 250 k in disposable actual income, I need at least 350k in actual income in a down market . Projected over 20-30 years accounting for inflation long term care, hospice care, assisted living etc. Iwhich will get very expensive over that time period, so it could be quite tricky. So Social security, Medicare would help but only after 64.5 years, so my projection is 8 MM with the 4% rule factoring in all of this. I need 3 MM in the next 5 years or in a shorter timeframe if I am let go sooner than later."
Fourth reorg for me now. Each one promised simplification and more profit and of course we all know it never happened, just cooking the books for a few quarters. All for some new alphabet soup made up by consultants to yet reduce headcount, again.
@by HMP is garbage just give us a regular cube with our name on it and stop wasting all this stupid money

@by HMP is a stupid waste of money.
Management are considering putting a pause on HMP.
The HMP PM is mad that it's not getting pushed out more.
