Someone said in another post that it's been 4 years since "Transformation to Win" and any failure is on Execute Management. They are absolutely right. The employees have dealt with multiple layoffs including some going on now, the outsourcing of some

MW's 2020 staffing 'transformation' purged the company of all the knowledgeable and experienced people in the company. Like an ant colony when the queen dies, the rest of the ants keep working and running around, even though there is no future for the nest. For Chevron as a whole and any individual BU or function, there is no more guidance or direction, just mindless work.
The fall of strong communities of practice led informally by subject matter experts and the shift in control to herds to inexperienced middle managers predated the transformation by a few years, but yes it was the “transformation” that solidified this shift as the new Chevron Way (culminating in Agile, the pure triumph of mindless management over logic and common sense).
Agree with @xoz. It's truly sad how we have de-volved ("transformed") from a strong performing oil company to a DEI- and crony-centric operation. Start the pool on how long we can last on legacy production, or how often we have to buy someone else's reserves.
What do the exec’s care, they have cashed out their millions.
You are the du..ss holding the bag.
We transformed of that there is no question. We evolved from an oil company with a quality high performing, committed and experienced oil industry based workforces that was totally treated like they were geriatrics to a BCG designed set of nothing.
