I have worked for Noble for almost 10 years and here is the way I see things. When Noble mostly comprised of old Samedan employees, we got the job done safely, under budget and successfully. We had no requirements for useless a I.T. organization with so many employees doing nothing but blocking what people need. We had no use for a huge H.R. department that is more concerned with creating useless posters (digital and otherwise) telling us to bowl, give blood or to be rewarded if we find a s---er to work here at Noble than doing a real jib or progressii n plans etc.
People used to be employed for their knowledge, work ethic and drive to make the company better. Now it seems people are more concerned with building their little kingdoms of s--- asses so they can gain power and hire more s--- asses.
Why is it that Noble now does not even feel like an oil and gas company?
Because people have forgotten the people like me that work in the field and facilitate the revenue.
I am embarrassed about ranting and saddened that all of us out here feel like we are treated like a smelly old shoe.
