#mentoring

Work life and adulting can feel terrifying if you try to control everything, especially if you are early to middle phase in your career. Continue to do great at your role, irrespective of larger organizational challenges. Take care of your health and family. If you can, mentor a newer employee to give you a sense of legacy. After all is said and done, it is what you are remembered for that will linger.

I've noticed a significant shift lately. There's a huge focus on tracking work instead of doing it. We spend hours building decks to show productivity while actual tasks sit waiting. Meanwhile, there's a push to reduce small benefits that made the place at least tolerable. Sadly, the people who suffer most are the newer hires. They're thrown into projects without any real guidance because the seasoned leaders are too buried in administrative work to mentor anyone. It's a frustrating way to run things.

I am a retiree, been gone and happy for 5 years.
Over the last 2 weeks I have had a few emails, then some phone calls from Chevron folks based in Bangalore.
Seems several people have been giving the team in India the contact details for some of us who are retired.
The nice folks I talked to in India were asking for me be a mentor and help with some technical questions.
What is going on? Who is giving out contact details? have any other retirees had similar communications?

New restructure key goal: Mentor ENGINE resources and get laid off!

Thanks Uncle Chevron!

I know some are and some are not, just want to see if people can share some experiences. No names please.
