Rumor mill coming from Shell that you hired one of ours made redundant to join your leadership ranks.

@1wg it’s not that there’s no one who could have done that job. It’s that LC’s plan to bring in his buddy LM from GM got foiled when his contract-to-hire plan blew up. LM was fired before he even started. Probably for “inappropriate use of company computer” 😂
You really can’t write a better storybook ending for LM, who walked around with his green badge like he already ran the place.
And as the incompetency of LC continued as he never made an effort to get to know anybody in the function (or the business), so the external hire was the only thing he knew how to do.
@1jf I’m so pleased I’m out. I don’t think there’s been a single leader in D&I who had anything remotely approaching a clue in the entire time that org existed.
For all the money invested in digital scholars and the rest of it, the fact that there’s not one person internally that was considered fit for the GM role is laughable. Especially for a fortune 50 company.
D&I is so cooked. Useless, useless function filled with useless, useless leaders.
Whatever you had on your CDP, consider it blown up. LC’s hiring of external people at higher levels without any plan or pathway for people to be part of any succession planning is just depressing. Several of the well known up and coming leaders who used to be the GM-in-waiting are already looking externally because they’ve all been passed up and are stagnant now.
@1hm she’s not a director. Just a lowly GM because she is not at the same level as LC, KG, JR. You gotta have that Arkansas, Walmart, HP, General Motors pedigree to be a director.
They hired her in for cheap even though this is still a promotion for her, from where she was coming
EN to MC to LM to MC to AK
boy we really care about data 🫠
“Data is a Chevron asset” - what a joke of a digital imperative. If we cared, we would actually have done something about it. IT is so cooked.
New data and insights director from Shell
She’s built up the Shell India data analytics organization (most of whom were ineffective and got laid off. most of whom interviewed with ENGINE and were incompetent). She’s hired by LC to rinse and repeat. Save this message because we’ll hire 1000 data professionals in India and 3-4 years later, watch it all crumble.
If you work in the data org and are in the US, you might as well start looking for a job elsewhere. Your leader was hired to send jobs to India. She will not care about you at all.
It’ll be fun trying to get India to build “data products” that nobody will use because they’ll have no idea how chevron works.
We’re hiring the Shell person who hired thousands of people in India just to lay them off a few years later after a failed experiment.
Well, we got the Total person for exploration so who’s coming from Shell?
Maybe supply and trading since people keep talking about how we want S&T to start making more money and being more like BP and Shell
Exploration or subsurface might make sense?
Or capital projects?
Which department?
Other than their offshore project execution, that’s not really a company that’s better than Chevron. It would be pretty disappointing if we hired yet another executive externally
Probably fake news. Why would we do that when we are in cost cutting mode just coming out of a big reorg
