BTCX just announced a communications team, I know they meet often and now making videos and putting tv screens all over the CAB and MOB next.
Why waste valuable resources and time doing these id–tic initiatives!?
Baytown has to always form a “team” for every G-Damnnn thing and it’s a waste of money and time especially when they have cut our 401k match and letting valuable people go!
Any other sites with dumbFck initiative teams?
A team lets a manager avoid personal responsibility for making a decision. When the team decision sinks the ship, you might hear comments like, "Wasn't my idea, it was the team's. I actually tried to steer them away from their conclusions but no one listened to me."
Lets have a meeting to plan a meeting to talk about this
I was a manager and went out of my way to avoid meetings. Maybe that’s why I got laid off?
Managers do nothing now. They all think they are VP’s. Supervisor positions should be eliminated and managers should earn their pay like everyone else.
Because the army of managers and supervisors have to put something on their assessment documentation every year.... and what better way to find 'creative' nonsense to put on Career Connect than to make a "team" to do the heavy lifting. If something good comes out of it take credit for it, and if not blame the low-lives in the teams and move on.
The next managers in the role will want to dream up new nonsense in 3 years time for every role. By now they are experts in this 'ExxonMobil' way of creating accomplishments.....
So the actual workers and contributors have to keep dealing with the piling up of worthless procedures and requirements. Day in day out......
Hell we hire the best of the best and then they need to be lectured an hour every week, for 30 years of their careers, on how to read the LPSA card!
and the cycle continues with every rotation in managers.....
Good question, OP. Let's get a committee together and circle back for discussion. Notice I didn't say team.
Do we have to make a “Topic” for everything?
I read this post in Samuel L Jackson’s voice... hahahaha
In spring now, but with my short time in Baytown... I got tons of custom hats , yeti cups, safety cards. And I could ask an admin for any supply or computer equipment I wanted.
That place burns cash, and many people get away with murrder buying frivolous stuff by keeping individual orders under a dollar amount to keep the order to being elevated to a manager or site management .
