So after this email from RM about the diversity metrics, I can’t wait to see what happens in my selection round. I’m thrilled we have the diversity coaches here to ensure we don’t just pick the most qualified person for the job, regardless of race/gender/etc.
Don’t @ me with some pithy comment about white males being held down, either. I don’t care. I’ve never been rated lower than a 2+ in my career and I can see the writing on the wall if I stay at Chevron.
Wonder what the diversity numbers look like for the HR function?
@anu - Hoping their new leaders will see the behaviors and something might actually be done.
@abg - it’s for two reasons.
1) Give the illusion of a transparent process. Rest assured they will select whoever they want regardless of why they say they are doing.
2) This covers them when you complain as they have a whole range of subjective measures / criteria that no one can meet them all. Good luck proving you were let go because of visible diversity metric, they’ll just say it was something else.
Don’t loose sleep over it
Focusing only on visible diversity is misguided at best. What about diversity of thought and experience? Sadly, selecting a Chevron lifer (or development program grad who has 0 work experience) over someone who has demonstrated external experience is what tends to be the default position, esp in support functions like IT and HR.
As long as MV and AM are in charge don’t expect much to chAnge. They are 2 of the most backstabbing leaders we have yet they are still here. Sign of what’s to come for our transformation. What a joke.
If mgmt had any brains they would send a group email to everyone, and then fire anyone who 'replies all' 💯
But that would be too logical and effective and easy, so instead they will take 6 months to explain why Bomquisha is the best pick for VP of Data Management, even though she obviously knows jack/sh– about data or management or anything else...
Bro, I'm in D&C.
To all the vixens all the way in the back, I just want y'all to know, I'm a white dude and I'd choose having a female boss 100 times out of 100. Allowing of more autonomy, more trusting.
I always love how many consistent 1++ performers are who comment here and yet they always seem to get passed over by others who are clearly “less qualified”! Awww...at some point there’s only a small % of the 60,000 employees that are going to progress to higher management. The hierarchy is the shape of a pyramid not a square! Also let’s not forget that the people who have been in higher management roles are usually NEVER the most qualified, so let’s just stop that c-ap right here!
@1cpe. Ha I thought I was the only one why went into SAP to change their gender to not identified just to give the middle finger to the metrics they track.
I've protected myself this selection round by posting on workplace that i am bi-s-xual. See you all on the other side
Ps. This company is a joke but lets milk this cow til it bleeds. Stay positive everyone
OP is a Chinese operative working on increasing racial tensions in the USA.
OP - that's why we closed your consultate today.
Get some popcorn and watch this thread get deleted
Someone below noted why
Look at the first response, trolling at its finest
Given the anonimous nature of this site and the sensitive topic this thread addresses here are my observations:
If Chevron is not promoting folks simply for diversity, then why do they have diversity counselors, success metrics, unconscious bias training and all the other nonsense?
You gotta give the rest of us a chance because we aren't as good at talking sh–
You didn't get fired because of your skin color. You're just a rude prick that no one liked working with.
@pib, they resent with reply all disabled because we still have tech illiterate people who do this once in a while. I still have it in my inbox.
Are you guys jokers?
What is the diversity in senior ranks at Chevron?
Y’all are whiners and finding excuses.
Chevron is not promoting folks simply for diversity. Stop whining and do your jobs
Looks like they rescinded the email. Or is it just my local group that can no longer open it? They probably dont wan to so openly admit to discrimination on race.
We could divide all the managers by ethnicity and see which "group" has the highest number of incompetents...
If you’re getting 1’s and 2+’s all the time and not advancing at the rate you want, you never will. Take the next EOI and outplacement training, and find a better company.
To be honest I don't care if whoever they pick is black, yellow, white, bi or straight. All I care if they're competent and have merit. As soon as they pick incompetent managers and leaders game is over and that pretty much tells you about the company DNA's. This have nothing to do with politics and diversity but rather Chevron's ability to promote people based on merit. As far as I know Chevron can't do that so yes you will have these conversation about some black guy being a GM and not knowing what the F he is doing. Or the worthless /clueless Alice(ya) in the black greenland if you know what I mean.
The email mentioned job specific technical competencies last out of all the criteria. Telling for our future. This is going to make our company more mediocre. The chosen ones will know they don’t have to work as hard to at least keep a seat at the table. The unchosen ones will work less hard because they know that merit doesn’t mean anything. Lefty ideas pollute and destroy everything.
And you hate non-whites for this, when they have no control over the process??? The Executives are the ones making these decisions.
S— it up, buttercup. Life ain't fair, and laws aren't always applied equally.
When I saw the email I had similar thoughts. Guess it doesn’t matter about qualifications. It only matters if you fit the narrative of the day.
Chevron attempting to win "most woke AF energy company of 2020."
As a white male, u can get 1 and 2+ much easier. You can be quiet in meeting all the way along, and no body is b* about ur visibility.
At some point as a consistent performing 1, and 2+ individual, I have to wonder how much harder I have to work at this company to move up as a relatively young employee to compete with my diverse peers. I don't know what message they're really trying to send, or realize they're sending with these stats.
