Solar and wind are viable inside the Kingdom. It is just that Aramco is too incompetent to get it done. Five years ago, Aramco had a great alternative energy team. Then, Riyadh got Green and the work Aramco was doing got noticed. The locals promptly took over, drove competent expats away, and now Aramco has nothing. The same story has been repeating over and over again across the company. There are almost zero functional teams left. Sad to see this happen.
Well said, @4foj+1jCUJZjD.
Take the money.
Bottom line: They just don’t care + too thick to do anything strategic. They are far more focussed on backstabbing each other, plugging lies / PR and paying consultants to do false benchmarks to make them look “good”. Whole place is just a charade.
Seems like pounding sand is about the only thing Aramco can do these days. Not sure there is anybody left who can do much else. Why? Let's see ...
Promoting a manager who was primarily responsible for a huge bunch of skilled employees leaving.
Combining groups to get enough skilled employees to do a job, and then putting said employees into an environment that they are sure to hate and thus leave.
Actively blocking skilled employees from transferring away from a toxic manager who has created tons of turnover already.
Refusing to rate fairly and/or promote skilled employees of whom Aramco has an acute shortage.
Refusing the pay market value when the company recruits for skilled employees who aren't really considered important, even though the company has a desperate shortage of them.
I will warn you right now, if your job involves complexity and working with detail, you will be constantly under valued and left chasing your tail. Management has no clue about the value you provide, therefore you do not provide any value.
Pound Sand.
