Druvker’s released their annual study for Management for Fortune 500 companies.
Exxon again scored in the bottom 1/2 driven down by extremely low Employee Engagement scores (we are talking NSI numbers).
I guess when you quietly push out your US org and replace it with an Asian one, it makes your employees feel less engaged!

Interesting post. I've seen a lot of behaviors 1, 2 and 5 in the Upstream as a facade while the Emperor is wearing fine clothes until his ticket gets punched for the next station. People doing the real work are demoralized, yet expected to go along with it if they want to keep their heads above the PDS water. What a game.
