My opinion is that it is very important to have role model employees who will teach fresh out of college hires important things so that they can do their job as well as possible. When I first came here, it was very important for me to learn as much as possible from such employees who had a lot of knowledge and experience. Since the experienced and capable ones at BH have less and less room and are leaving en masse, I wonder how all this will work when there is no one to teach new hires?

Where can you find a role model in this mess. Company has gone to the wall. Jobs have been lost by the shedload. Work has dried up. Offices have closed all over the world. Zero confidence everywhere incl clients.
@OP People come to work for a paycheck. Nothing that you wrote means anything in the modern workplace.
Workplace relationships, to the extent that they still exist, are highly transitory and purely transactional. Neither rewards personal investment.

@1jge Great, more of the predictable whining about “diversity” in a company that is majority male and super-majority white. If you want everyone to look like you, move to Northern Europe. I personally don’t give AF what anyone looks like as long as they leave me alone.
The words "Role Model" is an oxymoron @ BKR.
We currently have so many mo--nic bosses that even the bite of a dog with rabies is less dangerous than these toxic "bosses"🤣
Is true if desperate
I heard bod is saved is this true?
Wondering what ever happened to all the concerns from a few years ago regarding the "great crew change" where majority of the older workers would be retiring, and the inexperienced workers would be running the show.
Oh wait, it did take place and it was called the "big layoffs".
There isn't any glimmer of hope nowadays.
Why? Because for YEARS the organization was too busy promoting diversity (men and women that didn't meet the minimum criteria to lead certain functions) and pushing aside the do-ers that understood the business.
For about 10 years they kept talking about the knowledge gap in the organization. Seasoned veterans that would be leaving and there wasn't sufficient time for knowledge transfer. Add in some odd market cycles and the pandemic and it was a catalyst for losing some of the greatest mentors. I really do feel sorry for the newest graduating class of engineers and scientists joining the organization. They don't have what we had.
Then, to make matters worse, there's the lackluster competencies and training program across all of the product lines. the buffoon leadership cannot comprehend the importance of a proper onboarding process regimen with proper training requirements. It's too much "check the boxes" (again) across all product lines now. What is the true intention of it all. To say we have something, or build the next generation of leaders??? With poor competencies in place, there too many people not sure how to even do their work properly and only absorbing more responsibilities of employees that are no longer there.
Then there are bozo Managers posting on LinkedIn: "We are growing! We are hiring!" HAHA, you're not half the team you used to be. The worst part, you're hiring less experienced and less educated. Awesome! Good job. Continue to lose your market ;)
A message to Baker, Halliburton, Schlumberger, the majors and pretty much the industry as a whole:
You let go of too many good employees you big dummies.
A-s kisses, management loved them, more importantly than getting the job done, that’s why BOD is closing
Bubbles and his crew
There are a very very VERY few good people left. The majority of them have been pushed aside for a-s kissers. Seek them out, try to learn, hold on or learn what you can and get out.
