How are your implementation teams going? Talk about useless overhead.
The cuts happened, reorg is done. People can figure out how to work again without you working with McKinsey on creating 1000 slides that no one will ever read again.
How many useless meetings about adhering to the operating model have you all had after the ROM in 2020? And here we are again.
What does activated mean
This so called reorg, almost broke CVX.
It almost looks like whoever engineered this, wanted to destroy cvx.....
I mean, you land on a position where before the "reorg" was another guy who now will turn over whatever he was doing before. WHY DIDN'T HE STAY IN THE SAME POSITION?
OMG!
And this seems to be across the board.
Unbelievable!
I spent nine hours getting activated to just hear about the new acronyms replacing old acronyms, how things are now streamlined (to I don't know who because we are still confused on who is doing what), discuss old new-looking workflows (a pig with lipstick is still a pig), and then org charts after org charts of people I am never going to interact with.
I am just a working bee. Tell me what you want done and when do you want it done by. This is just a waste of time.
@cv as a manager, I can guarantee you that it’s not all baloney. I, in fact, do now have two jobs. Oh, and there was no promotion, so I’m making the same salary as a quarter of my direct reports, so there’s that, too. Burnout much?
My vote is the BOD who continues to let the ELT burn millions because they can’t do the job they are handsomely rewarded to do.
@ed this 💯- our leaders approved every bit of this reorg
@bt who f-cked up more - the McKinsey consultants or the pathetic excuse for leaders at Chevron who willfully went along with every dum--ss idea the McKinsey id--ts proposed?
My vote is the Chevron executives.
“Activated yet” that’s a good one. The reorg has disrupted morale and it will take years to recover. I like all the exec speak of “AI” and how it will revolutionize the company. I agree AI is a powerful technological advantage but Chevron will be a slow innovator of AI and the benefits will take years to be realized.
I will contribute the best I can but the org structure needs to be “activated” before the individual contributors can deliver on the objectives.
@bt ohhh that's funny did anyone hear more
When do we get to work Guyana?
@ct Hi. @cw+1kan22baj here. We posted nearly at the same time, and I see that we both had the same reaction about abdication of responsibilities. I think we all see the issues with this reorg, but what is truly appalling is the complete and total lack of accountability, starting with MW, MN, and on down the inept food chain.
Our team’s activation was a real eye opener. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, in our entire org has a full grasp of how the he-l this operating model is actually supposed to work. I was very stressed out when Oct 1 first rolled around, fearing that I had a lot to learn, and that others might be ahead of me. Now? I just don’t give a sh-t anymore. What are they gonna do? Fire me? Our senior-most leadership needs to take a long, hard look at the fu---d up org they created and hang their heads in shame. How do you spend HUNDREDS of millions to end up with this sh-t show? MW needs to resign. He and the whole lot of the ELT have abdicated their responsibilities to consultants and done irreparable damage. There is NO excuse for this. Trust me, we’ll become a business school case study.
People in management who claim to be working two jobs now are blowing smoke. HiPots only have their one job. This reminds me of the guy who used to loudly state that "I've got a lot of irons in the fire". All baloney.
Mck f'd up???? what about the c suite dolts who run this company? talk about complete abdication of responsibility.
“I’m waiting for activation” “I’m doing two jobs now” “I’m still learning”
When you have 20+ year “leaders” repeating these catchphrases when you need them to actually DO SOMETHING, you know the reorg is an abject failure.
I will only be full activated when we are hoteling in office 5x days a week.
I was told it’s quietly recognized that Mck royally fu---d this up, and was fired from further implementation. Someone else brought in to try to salvage…
