New engineering manager just came in who loves to improve the life of people around him by making it miserable just like he made the life of people around him miserable when he was in KL.

@7ath+1omAkxFZ You’ve obviously never been to India
You know u messed up good when u get sentenced to BR!
@1sgi Personally, I’d take India over Louisiana any day of the week.
Exxon doesn’t do any actual engineering, so you can all relax.
People working for Exxon with the word “engineer” in their job title perform two primary functions:
- Procurements (purchasing equipment from third-party vendors)
- Writing specifications (what they want the equipment to do).
It’s the same story for most large operating companies. There’s a little more to their jobs at the plants (ex. looking at graphs), but not much beyond that unless there’s a service outage.
JWB demonstrated WAEM winning behaviors!
He will improve your life by PIPing some of you that are useless!
So if 70% of BR Engineering is to be performed at BTC, shouldn’t the BR Engineering Manager be a BTC employee sitting in Bangalore?
JWB just wants to improve the people around him professionally by inspiring them to jump to another company.
They probably brought him in to break the TMTS and headcount reduction resistance. BRES will never be the same when he’s done. They are determined to do 70% of work at BTC, no matter the cost. BRES will be less than 100 people before long.
@1bxg+1omAkxFZ engineering is...engineers...not unionized...
TMTS was a huge “Success” and MPEs has seen huge “Value Capture”
It is crazy that they think a TMTS manager is qualified to run a unionized plant that makes millions
@1wbl You say that as if Houston was anything but a glorified swamp. $500k for a McMansion in a flood plane? 40 mile commute on a toll road to stare at a laptop in some stupid office complex? That’s all you bro.
Just because something is better than Louisiana doesn’t mean it’s good.
What happened to the previous engineering manager? Did he get PIPd?
Hope does BR compare to BT?
He's got the resume of a chosen one who won't be here long. One or two years tops then off to H-Town. If there's one thing I know for sure, like all managers, I can outlast any BS they come up with. All of them are temporary, protected from ever living with the long term consequences of their actions.
@lee+1omAkxFZ hope management makes a quick right or left turn on you. Your head is so buried up their backside your neck will snap!
Many boxes checked off with RD announcement. Good luck.
@OP You have problems with being told what to do and issues with people in general.
Anywhere you work is going to be toxic. Either move on or get a new personality.
Promote him, sounds like the sort who f behavior we want #winming
Time to leave. BR is a dumpster fire.
