Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

If the rumor I Just heard about the new Platform Technical Mgr is true you might prefer to be laid off... the known and gross incompetence of this person will dazzle you and make you long for the days of the current IT “leadership”

AIR is a completely worthless make-work paper pushing position that was created because of all the pointless assurance reviews and readiness assessments the Business Managers didn’t want to deal with. So, they somehow convinced the company that a completely new position was needed to handle the worthless busy work instead of just eliminating the worthless busy work.

The hell is an AIR lead? I've been with the company five years and never heard of this position; guess I'm lucky.

Oh that AIR manager sounds like a chosen one. I have seen technically good people bust there butts and get no where while people who have no idea what they are doing get ahead. It’s crazy this company doesn’t care about technical individuals you need the we lead behaviors. Technical behavior, no thanks just the we lead.

There was an AIR managers on a multi billion dollar MCP. The only thing he cared about is the format of a spreadsheet, the color of a few cells, the print setup is 5 page-long or 7-page long, etc.
It’s even funnier that after the AIR manager role, this guy became a facilities engineering lead on a NOJV asset although the only positions he took before was AIR and compliance coordinator.
CVX is full of jokes.

The AIR team is a crazy. Meeting managers. Never understood why we had them.

Throw AIR in the mix, a bunch of secretaries with fancy titles. Starting with GOM.

MCBU ~45% including contractors.

GOM is about 40% counting contractors. If you exclude Asset and Reservoir which is 5%-10%

Paying now for Payne’s protection in previous ROMs

Who cares?

Sounds about right for CBU but plenty of D&C were safely tucked away in SCM, HES, and took over contractor roles in the field.
