Hess has been a great company to work for and yes there are good things and bad, good times and bad. Over the years, especially during this last downturn, Hess has been generous to the employee base. The struggle I see and hear discussed most right now is as follows:
- C Suite parachutes negotiated upfront but no T&C’s for change of control (pension/medical/stock) as condition of deal.
- No visible C Suite leadership getting in front of the staff and discussing this acquisition and associated impacts.
I hope for the sake of Hess Values we have lived by, Integrity and People values are refocused on.
