if IT is part of CTC, then yea, it is horrible. all this digital talk, and now they are telling us that they "don't have capacity" because too many people left the company. I thought they cut the ones who can't code and build apps, and kept all the good ones. One guy who is honestly pretty good at what he does told me that these platforms are having him support stuff like he is help desk based in mumbai. clearly the big transformation was a failure for IT.

Does CTC get better each time they change the name?
The most insipid roles are the Asset Class directors. There is still no definition for the job and the people selected are real mixed bag including some of the weakest leaders in the company. How long before these roles are canned?
The vast majority of IT has no clue. There are some however who either work for or in the business. Make 3-year BU rotations a requirement for central folks before putting anyone from that group in leadership.
how about that leadership chapter that they rebranded 'business engagement' chapter where IT keeps all their current and future leaders who don't actually know how oil and gas are extracted. taking crompton's upstream101 course isn't really going to cut it. the petrotechs who have now become more digital can do a much better job than everyone in that leadership chapter... and they can probably engage the business better since, you know, they were part of that business.
complete duplication of unnecessary "skills". all they how do is take employees and contractor developers from the engineering chapter and talk to the actual business users in hopes of translating technical requirements to the actual doers. cut out the middle man.
Worst are the CTC managers. They don’t actually do anyth8ng or add any value. They make no decisions related to business. They just sort of administer PMPs and sit on useless committees.
CTC to help the BU. But does the BU need help?
Another matrix within a matrix. Do9med to fail.
I'm in CTC IT now but was in BU IT. What a damn mess it is. My subchapter supervisor told me that I may or may not be in the subchapter, and "just keep doing what I'm doing". I got selected in a new type of role in the CTC, and there's nothing to do. They also said that we will figure out what platform priorities might be later on. For now, just relax and take vacations after a stressful year. I don't know where the stress is. How out of touch are they with the employee base. Do they not know the most of us have had nothing to do since they have been dicking around with ImagineIT and the selections where most of us were just waiting around?
If Chevron is going to pay me to take vacations that I don't have, that's what I'll do... and while I have nothing to do, I might as well test the market to see what tech jobs I can get.
It's just another social/organizational experiment that created a bunch winnies, oops, I mean, winners. It will change again after MW/JG gone.
Another lame construct created by highly paid consultants. Minimum value to add to the line, just a cost center with big promises. Remember CPF?
