I am a Chevron short timer so it may not be as bad for me as some. But over the last few years it became very obvious the less you do the less trouble you get into. No results=no problems or work for others. I used to look forward to Monday to rest from the weekend. I was always at the office for the required hours and would read book after book after book. Everyone said this guy is always analyzing something.....yea sir re.....I just finished The Grapes of Wrath. Always wanted to read it so why not get paid to do it. Deadlines smedgelines....no pressures. I was able to catch 2-3 hours of sleep in my chair. I asked a friend to keep his ear the to ground to see if anyone notices. He called me a liar....oh I sleep alright! I told my wife I got a new job and title at work....SLEEP AND EAT! 40 hours a week of work???? I put in a good 5 hours....35 hour gap! I am serious here, last year was truly a do nothing year. I got a 1.. I almost fell out of my chair.

Oh yeah, and I have no ideas what your bukkaba....or blakaba...things are. All I know is I'm getting laid daily and I'll have a job while your sorry ass is sitting in in your mom's basement dreaming of a real girl. Grow up little one and get a life. If you're nice I'll let you smell my finger.
Ha! I knew it! That ginger librarian was the one. See how his ginger anger came out. Awesome. Sorry loser ginger librarian; I'm not in scope for project Alpha, so I can't join you and your rubber doll in your mom's basement. My position is closed because I actually make Chevron money. So, as you call me names and get mad, I'll be f###king my beautiful girlfriend. As I said before... Get a life loser. Oh yeah. Loser ginger.
While the rubber doll watches??? Kinky! There's my weekend planned. Thanks!
— Anonymous138194 real Chevron people? So you get Bukakkes on the weekend and your wife gives you a blumpkins, that's what real Chevron employees do. You are the punk that was picked last in gym class and try to act like your important. You are on a fing layoff board like the rest of us so go f your mother while your rubber doll watches. Let go of the hurt from getting wedgies in grade school as it shows in your posts.
— Robin M. Blind it is representative of the entire organization. People here do not understand what work is! My office neighbor was able to do something fascinating. His back was to the door and glass partition to his office. He was able to sleep with his hand on the mouse. When he slept his hand would move slightly allowing the computer to stay on. Another coworker pointed out the same website was on the screen for hours. And this type of inactivity and wastefulness is the norm not the exception. Not one of my supervisors was technically competent in any way for our profession and had no leadership skills. They never produced anything. I think everyone knows this and is either to embarrassed to agree or to dumb to understand.
I 100% agree with this. I have advanced degrees and won the project of the year for PMI in 2011. The motto was "Check you ego at the door", also "What is right not who is right". This is totally contrary to the Chevron mentality. Also, at Chevron, Engineering degree for University of Cal Berkley, MBA from Harvard, Published papers of project execution, PMI project of the year and a track record of success, means nothing! I have been totally marginalized and do not have enough work. I have been getting great reviews but I can sit here and do nothing which I won't do. And the poster makes a great point 95% of Chevron works on things the private sector would call waste and there is no accountability.
Gee! Dunno what's eatin' ole Anonymous138194 here but...to Anonymous138134: what you are describing is known 'praise for the non-participants'.
I was fortunate enough, during my last eight years at the RTC, to have a job where I got to do a lot of walking. Now...I started with the Company there well before people had their very own personal (GIL) computers at their desk. So as I passed by offices...seeing one person after another staring (as if having been hypnotized...or lobotomized) at their screens (as IF they were actually DOING something)...I began to try to remember HOW, before personal computers, we STILL managed to get almost nothing done! I've always imagined that the RTC is not representative of the Corporation. Or...?
You must be that librarian that works at RTC. I have always wondered why the research center needed a librarian, but now I see; they don't. Good bye loser. Go back to your parents basement and tell your (rubber) girl you need to find another loser job. She'll understand. Please let these posts be for real Chevron people; not trolls or RTC librarians.
I just can't understand how Chevron can be losing money.
