Management is the problem with all their money pit deals. Start at the top and take away their golden or whatever Parachutes. The deal makers and those who approved them need to be accountable for the results. Look at Australia!. The SICK people think CHEVRON is wonderful.
Gorgon, Wheatstone, ALNG, AMBU......what is that 125bn. How do you respect that level of ineptitude. Throw in a half dozen tendons and an army of mcp pm's driven by delivering dsp's that make piles of crap look like gold nuggets with no repercussions when it all hits the fan....what is there to respect? Solution, have engineers actually engineer something - stop outsourcing it or at least get rid of the redundant positions and please do not just move the engineers to SCM. Too many Cracker Jack engineers chasing metrics in that hole of an org. Fin/accounting, promote some people with skill and knowledge, enough MBA program networkers that think finance & accounting are done in PowerPoint. IT.....where to start, how about admitting you are currently 4 times larger than needed, your asset base still has dot matrix printers being depreciated and stop paying maint fees on sw no one uses. HR-not sure a solution exists so just fire them all and try again with a new approach and this time understand OC should be under your remit. I can go on and on but let me wrap up with leaders, from team leads to execs...promote or hire some. More data isn't better data it's just more shit you don't understand.
Yeah..... really guys... it's not about you, it's about the health of the corporation and the share-holders. You are soo selfish.
If you get the boot.... don't look back. There is life after cvx land.
@Anonymous134459. There are two grammatical errors in your post, which SHOULD have read:
"You all should be ashamed of yourselves for talking the way you are!! "
Just my opinion, of course, but it is YOU who should be 'ashamed' (of yourself) for not having learned to write English.
Then again...being illiterate seems to be an asset for any Chevron employee with management ambitions.
Most (nah...ALL) of the supervisors I had when I worked there (for thirty years) couldn't write even as well as YOU!
Amen to 134505's post. This is exactly what went down at AMBU through a combination of bully management (who has now been rewarded with a nice new job in Houston) and a supervisor who genuinely appeared to be in the early stages of dementia. People get hit with 2- and 3 for voicing opposition, questioning stupid decisions, and standing up for themselves.
Anonymous134503 thank you for the word of the month blumpkin! I not only learned Chevrons every move before it happens on this board but now additional vocab! Definition:blumpkin, Noun or Verb to receive a blowjob while defecating (taking a dump) The best of two worlds. That New Jersey hooker gave me a blumpkin and a scorching case of genital warts for $3.62. Oh BTW the Chevron PGPA person who is assigned to this board and making these posts can give me a blumpkin.
I lost respect for my leaders and they way they have behaved during this situation. I have seen HR running up and down halls laughing and giggling when people are losing their jobs, leaders lying to the employees as to the state of their business unit. This is not professional behavior... I was and am appalled by the behaviors I see at Chevron.
— Anonymous134505 correct. The promotion of anyone and everyone has led to truly incompetent leaders/management who then take any feedback that is contrary to theirs as negative. Totally opposite of the stated Chevron way. I saw this culture change and now just sit here and collect a big old fat paycheck. I do two main things at Chevron at a PG 25. I take a poop in the morning and eat lunch. That is about it. These post are either people being funny or trolls....ignore. You do know many knew of the tendon and buoy issue on Bigfoot don't you????? Nothing was said because that will kill you here. So EVERYONE SAID "Oh no their are zero problems. Tendons, Smigens, they are perfect!". Shut up and move up. Do you think it is happen stance that every project could make the "Most f***ed up project in the world list? Or is it the culture here?
Thank you Anonymous134505 for telling it like it is. Voicing an alternate opinion can cost you your job, even though your performance is good. Weak supervisors see you as a threat and then you're toast.
@Anonymous134505 Agreed
Respect is earned. I now three exceptionally talented ES/PE professionals who 12-27 yrs experience and have had one -2 PMP rating during that time. They happened to have had the misfortune of getting the 2- in the last 3 yrs and in each case got it from a supervisor who interpreted the voicing of alternative views during team meetings as challenges to his or her authority. These supervisors lack the soft skills and wisdom to engage their experienced direct reports in a manner consistent with the Chevron Way and the Tenets of Operation. They should be ashamed. We are letting tremendous value and hard-earned experience slip out the door this week under the guise of "poor performance". Shame on you Chevron.
I suspect a management or HR troll.
I lost all self respect when your mother gave me a blumpkin. Further more this board is not showing a victim mentality because the vast majority are not getting layed off. This board shows a trends of bad culture and worse leadership..
The original poster can go to hell. If you don't want to read about complaints then go somewhere else. Christ. As if someone forced you to read through these threads...
Maybe your perspective will change when you eventually become the target of inept and/or vindictive management practices. A lot of people who are being let go have tried very hard to drink the company Kool-Aid and contribute to Chevron's growth. What's leading Chevron down the drain is a culture of backside-kissing and ineptitude. Rather than deal with problems head-on (as does Exxon, for example) it prefers to move, pamper, and reward management who cause problems. It turns a blind eye to ineffective and abusive "management" practices, all the while touting the "Chevron Way". Anyone who has spent any time working at another major will tell you what a shitshow Chevron is.
I agree with the poster. It can't be all about you and everyone has a responsibility to Chevron's progress. The victim mentality needs to stop.
