Airbnb just announced one of the most flexible work policies in the world. Work from any office or your home. Live anywhere in the country and get paid the same no matter where you live. You can even live abroad for 90 days at a time in a country- then hop from country to country!
Let’s get COP on board for the next level of flexibility. If others start schedules like this, we’ll get it 5 yrs later. . . . I’m okay with that.
The company talks “People” but does not walk the talk. Once you realize this, and accept your paycheck as payment for putting up with the hypocrisy and incompetence, things go easier.
How is our business model anything similar to Airbnb? The OP is simply looking for another reason to justify NOT leaving COP. What we need is to rebuild a culture that attracts talent. We need a re-energized workforce that is fundamentally committed to working the energy sector. We lost loyalty and a sense of job satisfaction when we abandoned our culture and principles. We spend way too much time and energy on chasing DEI metrics instead of actually developing the people and skills necessary for our work force.
The Ministry of Truth will be along shortly to review for right think
Once you take the red pill, and realize that management is incompetent, they are micromanaging control freaks who were always chastised in grade school, who care most about maximizing their own individual asset value rather than shareholder value, who think you are incompetent, who treat the company as a way to reward and recognize their family and friends… you will be at peace.
Smile. Tell your boss he’s special. Agree with company “values”. Work hard on PowerPoint and impressing management. And maybe some day you’ll be just like them.
