Mid level managers at Chevron were becoming Pigs at the Trough...
Who else is going to pay these bozos a quarter a million dollars a year to pretend they are managing projects.
Half of these bozos rely on change management consultants do do half their work (preparing safety moments).
Payback is sweet.
Thank you BCG.
If you have change consultants, change managers or the infamous behavior change management consultants working for you then you should be immediately released from chevron as part of the rom. We need more action and less PowerPoint. And most of these asshats really act as office admins at 7 times the cost.
My answer to Robin M. Blind... You are totally correct about how useless lots of our Chevron managers and supervisors are. Yes, I think that once we emerge from the downturn, the fiasco we once had will be corrected. Managers and supervisors will be accountable for their performance. This will also hold true for the rank and file employee.
You are SO right: Chevron has, perhaps, thousands of overpaid supervisors and managers who then 'farm out' (that's not as good as 'delegate') their responsibilities to 'consultants'. These many do not display 'leadership' but, rather, 'followership'. They shelter behind OE slogans and can always blame (and then terminate) their consultants. .
I wonder if this will ever change. Thirty years ago, if you were a supervisor or a manager, something was expected of YOU.
It took a long time for things to get this bad.
