Texaco EBAs
In the 90s Texaco hired a slew of marginal MBAs to fill quotas after the 1996 jelly Bean fiasco. Did any of them amount to anything? Most I know quit after slow career progress.

How familiar are they with the work and merits of the person they are promoting?
My answer: everything is taken into account, apart from what should have been the biggest measure - how hard a person worked and how well they did their job. Promotion is decided by people who, in my opinion, are not at all well acquainted with the... — read more

Mega Mergers About To Hit

Transformation look back
Alright y’all, it’s been about one year since we completed the Transformation. Do things feel different or same old s***? In my opinion, it was an enormous distraction and lots of work, with not much to show for it. We paid off some of our best... — read more

Attrition is the same
Attrition is about the same rate as it has always been. Many people like to imagine that it's higher because of this or that personal pet peeve. Not so. It's very stable. Remaining O&G employees that have a job are grateful for that and are holding... — read more
