Imagine joining a new team of Management 4 years ago in Halliburton. You take over a PSLs district reigning in revenue of almost $200 million in a well oiled machine.
Over the months you reward undeserving friends into cushy jobs with the thought of what could go wrong? Critical downtime occurs because the guys you promoted couldn't solve the issues they were hired to solve. Customer dissatisfaction grows.
Customers ask for specific personnel to jobs, but you don't send them in spite. Customers leave you in spite. No one wins except your self pride by not letting field hands go to jobs they desired.
The wheels start falling off that by year 3 your most consistent form of revenue is to rent out your field hands to other camps/districts. But by 2015 those camps don't have the work for the field hands and send them back to you.
Revenue drops 85% and market share has evaporated heavily due to unsatisfactory corporate relations. But you soundly blame all the problems on market conditions.
Finally you get removed out of a managers position.
During your tenure as management, you oversaw market share drastically shrink, had revenue nose dive, and promoted friends into spots that weren't right for the job.
If that were me, I'd leave town and never show my face again.
