We also are at work during holidays and miss many family events.But yet we (GOMBU) have a target on our back for layoffs and sales. The leadership should be runoff for putting this company in the shape that we are in now! Oh not till after hunting season.

Try working in SASBU, if you think the work conditions are bad in GOMBU. At least when you demob in GOM, you are home a couple hours later. If your supplier forgets an item or tool, you guys in GOM have it on a supply boat or chopper the next day. That doesn't work in Africa. I've spent 90+ days in Africa this year, and I'm not on a rotational schedule. I still have to go into the office, when I'm back in the USA.
740, you sound like the type that walks around with a chip on your shoulder around the office playing the victim. Always someone else's fault you get a bad rating or passed over for a position. Your attitude is probably why you don't get invited to play in the sandbox.
Or blacker than the crude oil GOMBU extracts from the Gulf.
GOMBU Warner Will... doesnt seem to have a problem. He's blacker than the ace of spades.....
I used to work in GOMBU for some 3 years early in my career about 25 years ago. I was from the area (Louisiana) as that's where I lived. I don't consider myself a "Louisianian" because I originated from elsewhere, but I always found the folks in Louisiana and Mississippi working the oilfields offshore and onshore to be the finest people around. That is my experience. So I cant speak for Anon161740 who sees GOMBU differently. Perhaps its the folks who reside in the Covington office today, and not the field folks. I head back that way twice a year on the job and look forward to working with my offshore colleagues and the contract crews. It's a refreshing change from the corporate falseness in Houston. GOMBU field folks tell it like it is and I appreciate straight talk.
GOMBU has a lot of good men and women??? Really? Its like a petulant, child filled bigot fest around here. Sniveling, snitching hypocrites with the 'Do as I say, not as I do' mentality being the only part of the Chevron culture that they stick too. If you aren't from the area, you are driven out and diversity be damned.
No matter how hard we work, or effeciant, or safe, we still have to sweat loosing our contract ? we dont get it.......
