Thread regarding Apache Corp. layoffs

It seems to me that they don’t understand the point of their job

One of the main reasons I will leave this company is micromanagement. It puts unnecessary pressure on me and works counter productively. Why so much micromanagement?

Is it possible that they don’t understand the point of their job at all? Instead of motivating employees to do better and more, which is what their job should be, no, they motivate employees to leave this place.

Anyone who meets BJ and thinks to himself, “this woman is at the top of her game”, deserves to work on that miserable team. HR (personnel) has been a mess for about 10 years. BJ doesn’t have the know-how to fix it.

And now beluga will double down and destroy HR. He’s making a good start of it. He has already set up the right organization for the job.

Simple exercise friends, pull up the directory and count the number of supervisors, managers and directors in Procurement, IT and HR. Count all them planners and strategists and other baloney titles. Once youre done, ask how theyre helping us stay around. Dont take a PhD to come to the right conclusions.

We have an SVP of Administration. In a >2000 person company. Laughable!
Is it because our Procurement, IT, HR teams are led by individuals that would be Managers, at most, anywhere else? Perhaps! It’s mostly because John’s highschool sweetheart needed a job.

Post-Ascend, we were left with a mountain of managers overseeing a small pile of actual workers. All these managers are desperate to justify their existence, so they seem to all compete with each other to manage people and fight over territory, the people that are supposed to be actually working are caught under and in between, and are casualties of this.

I get re-scaling the workforce might have been necessary, but they didn’t re-scale the management side appropriately at all, and the workers had to suffer to make cost reduction numbers, and now those left suffer under the weight of a bloated top end.
