You have to be kidding me. They are announcing layoffs and we are to believe the most asked question was about the future of DEI? Grow a pair and dump it. Get back to the base business of oil production. If all you care about is being protected... — read more

The dram queens are out in droves
This is but a normal and very predictable cycle in the oil industry. Y’all worried about your cushy jobs should have prepared better.
So this is what it feels like
The end of big oil. Chevron on a glide path to being out of business in 10-15 years. Spinning off oodles of cash as it slowly sinks below the waves.

Who is in charge of this mess? The unprepared few.
There is a very small group running this mess and convincing leaders they know what they’re doing. Of course ES surrounds himself with brown nosers who don’t actually know what they’re doing and walk around with a chip - meanwhile McKinsey makes... — read more
