If we compare to Exxon, where managers (and employees) are promptly replaced when results do not match requirements, Chevron managers always get the benefit of the doubt to save everyone any embarrassment. Management looks around and see their colleagues screwing up badly, with no particular consequences other than maybe a promotion delay, and they figure there is not much down side risk in under-performance. Most of these guys earn way more than they can spend, so bonus size makes little impact. We have 14 upstream managing directors, including many who have failed to meet safety, production, and opex/bbl targets as well as MCP milestones. Strikes me that if we took the bottom two, ranked them a 3, and visibly sacked them (no glowing email about electing to retire and distinguished service), the other 12 would wake up and start delivering.

Being a betting man, Anonymous196539, I'd say you are mostly correct. Most of the 7,000 employees getting the axe, are the wrong people to deserve termination. "Friends and Family", brown-nozers, inept managers and most of the "protected" classes will remain working for this company.
Waddya mean lack of accountability ? 7,000 people are just about to be held accountable ! (Slight problem - the wrong 7000 people).
What's "sniveling"? Are all you guys sniveling? That must suck to be around. I supposed that you will not mind getting cut then? To get away from the snivelers? Win-win!
"Sniveling Chevron Way" lmfao!
Distinguished service. What is that anyway? Does anybody really know? It sounds made up. It makes it sound like they need to be commended and given a medal. Two months after people retire, you can't even remember their names, let alone what they did.
Forget about Human Energy. Take that one down! The new word at Chevron needs to be "Accountability". Everything needs to revolve around that first, and everything else will fall in line with being a successful company.
I believe Chevron is still a great company with lot of good people at all levels. What I would like to change
-
Exterminate family clubs for sons and daughters (in laws inc) hiring and promoting. I have witnessed plenty of them in SJVBU. They play it in a way where one manager takes care of another managers family kids and vice versa so there is no conflict of interest.
-
More visible accountability at higher levels especially for major f***ups like at PRC MCPs
That's not the sniveling 'Chevron Way'
