Now that our society is moving towards victims of bullying and persecution fighting back in more effective ways, should some managers and supervisors at Chevron start to think about the future and the consequences of such actions at work? Do they realize that there comes a point where they can no longer influence the outcome of bullying and persecution they have reveled in and that they will only have themselves to blame for the blow back, whatever form that takes? Comments from those who have experienced this extensively at Chevron as well as those who are blissfully ignorant of such environments are welcome.

At the rate Chevron is canning the crooked ones, any straight arrows have nothing to worry about.
The company will clean up the unfairness only when it wants to. Obviously it doesn’t give a rat’s tail yet and probably never will.
There are 3 sisters working in GOM’s Houston office. I work in the Covington office where nepotism exists also. Because of nepotism in SCM it is difficult for people outside of SCM to get a job via PDCs. When does the company clean up the unfairness?
@fokd, That’s called nepotism and collusion in many quarters. Where’s Mike Wirth stance on all this? Deliberately MIA it looks like to me.
Yes my bully was at Chevron and his manager knew what he was bringing in because he warned me about it ahead of time. They were expat alcohol buddies.
Understood, 6fxf, thanks for the clarity and update. Just wondering, who was the so-called "true story" really about and how long were you bent over getting bullied?
I once got my supervisor’s firm attention when I bumped into him and his family at the Houston Rodeo. I reminded him that we were offsite and not on company time. I told him “man to man” to stop the bullying at work. I warned him if I received one more remark or act that wasn’t that of standard company practice, not only would I run it up the flagpole at work, but the next time we met outside the workplace I would show him the real man he is not. That worked. He was a different person starting the following Monday. Time, patience and the right approach is the way to hammer it home.
I had a manager who would bully his staff, especially the weak. The weaker they were the more he went at them. He put a minority woman in the hospital due to stress. He tried to bully me but I would stand up to him. Probably cost me some $$$. Eventually he was forced to transfer. Likely got a promo for the exit. If I never hear from him again it will be too soon.
