Thread regarding Occidental Petroleum Corp. layoffs

Is Hawaiian Shirt Man Out?

Seems like in the organizational announcement today his name was conspicuously absent. And some of the people being shuffled previously reported to him.

Maybe hopeful thinking.

Haha! Or "culture efforts"? Whatever those actually are...

Oh, right. Hawaiian shirts. Sorry.

@1vwl, I love the quote: "He also leads Occidental’s innovation and culture efforts to remain ahead of the industry in technology and workforce collaboration." In what f—ng way are we ahead of the industry in technology?!?! Ha, what a complete joke. I wish I could be paid millions of dollars a year to lead one of the least innovative and technologically savvy companies in the industry.

How many VP and SVP do we need, period!
How much staff considering current prices.
When prices recover some oil cos will benefit and accelerate. Oxy will accelerate too, which is common when circling the drain, just before entering the sewer.

How many VPs of support do we have? Does Business Units really need that much support? The whole org is plagued with support teams, Risk Team, army of people doing Project Management...

Oxy management is like boiling milk - the scum always rises to the top.

@1lsj+14lQs328 This guy: https://www.oxy.com/aboutOccidental/Pages/VANGOLEN_Glenn_Bio.aspx

Oversees HR and IT. Surprisingly (not!), the worst two departments in the company.

@1lsj and @1chb: Hawaiian shirt dude is the SVP of Business Support, with the initials GV. Look him up. He hired VH many years ago, and the two have helped themselves to millions and millions, while bringing ruin to this company and many of us. And so yes, he's as slimy as he looks.

Wishful thinking. Those announcements don’t usually have people not impacted.

Whoever downvoted my question as to who is Hawaiian shirt man I take it you two have no clue either. I work in West Texas and we have no one with that type of wardrobe. Some people on here need to piss off.

I hope so. He's absolutely worthless and a despicable person.

"Look at me, and my tan Bentley that flies by all of you. Let me tell you all about my big boat in Florida that I fly to every other weekend, where I pass the time drinking and fishing. I'm better than you."
