It's all about getting things done as soon as possible instead of making sure it's done well. Quality work has been replaced with rush jobs full of errors. Most of this is because managers only care about how things will look to those above them instead of caring about what people who do the actual work say. We might be doing well now, but we won't be for long if this continues.

To @1jta+1hsM1s4B. You pretend to know something. Are you some low level manager trolling this site? If the site closes who cares? The company doesn't care about collective bargaining employees. Close shop and head to the lowest bidder. Move jobs overseas, hire contractors. Until anything happens, I will keep doing as little as possible and get paid for it.
Most managers know so little about their group that they cannot detect errors.
No clue about what they look at. Just trying to make sure nothing sticks to them before they jump to next assignment.
This is the main reason I left earlier this year.
Sorry to hear about your misery at Annandale, Yuk Yuk. But, if it makes you feel better, there will be an announcement about the permanent closure of the site in about six months to a year.
Quality of work? Management doesn't care about quality of work. Annandale management is the pits. Do you really think I am going to care about work? After no raise in 5 years, no 3% bonus, working next to contractors who get treated better than employees. I do as little as possible. Let those that think their "extra stuff", "little things" will further their careers. I am all about just grabbing a pay check.
I don't care, and haven't cared for years but I am still pulling in a big paycheck for checking the box and doing the bare minimum. ExxonMobil is a great company to work for allowing me to do this.
Fully aligned with OP and comments. Spot on.
This is completely on point. You only have to look at the typical company wide emails with errors or broken links to understand the where the corporation now values accuracy, correctness, freedom from errors and quality.
As shown with outsourcing work to BTC, the company is 100% ok with having—
Lower quality
Higher quantity
Lower cost
We are becoming the Walmart of O&G…
Fully agree. We are doing pretty sh-t quality work these days.
