WTF, seriously, is this a joke? Every person selected for the platforms in IT is non-technical. Is management trying to F with our heads before R4 or what? Its bad enough we are all stressed out from last week playing the game known as "How much dumb useless sh!t can I put on 1 page about myself for management to ignore and just throw a dart at a list of jobs for what i get selected for", but now this sh–?! If this is a joke, like when they put "CIO" in every dill hole IT managers title in San Ramon, its seriously not funny this time around. Most of us on the ground floor really thought the LT would do the right thing and sack most of middle management in IT and replace them all with managed service IT managers or google assistant, but i guess they were overqualified or didn't want to work for a dinosaur company on its last leg before the meteor hits? I just hope the CDO realizes he got dealt a bad hand and changes "Digital" to "Analog" in their titles sooner then later before the Digital Platform Managers from the functions realize how bad they were scammed.

none of the GMs are qualified for their jobs either, except maybe the cyber guy who was recruited out of the government running cyber for our cyber. these people are so adamant that we will leave positions unfilled in the ROM unless the employees are qualified and have the software engineering skills. maybe they should have applied the same rules in round 2 and round 3?
this issue is generational in the sense that there will always be people with more seniority but without the foresight to hire/place correctly until people mature into their careers with a digital foundation. considering people work 35 yrs and digital has really only been a "thing" for 5yrs at Chevron ... there will be more of this for years to come.
OP - That "Technical" is just to be reassuring to Chevron business people when IT is really lying to them. Its the same way McDonalds tells their customers their hamburgers are made with "100% Real Beef". Makes you think wow, why did McD's even need to assure people of that? Shouldn't we already assume it is by its existence? LMAO
Good luck with the Chevron Digital Disaster Office. Hopefully that formerly up and coming VP will be happy with his much smaller office.
Brother, none of these knock off "IT" managers have spent a day in the oil patch in their lives. The Digital Platform Managers will run the show, and IT can sit back and take notes on how a digital shop should be run.
