I’ve been here for 10+ years, and the problem Chevron has is too many leaders who don’t know enough to hold employees accountable. It’s night and day from my last gig where leaders knew more than almost anyone on their team and could step in and do any job if needed. Too many leaders at Chevron who just accept whatever their direct reports tell them because they’re not smart or experienced enough to know they’re being lied to. When you add in the distance, language, and cultural barriers of a manager in the US and workers in Manila or India, you end up with weak, clueless leaders accepting whatever excuses they’re told and not holding MSPs or employees accountable for su-king at their jobs.
The only way ENGINE will work is if LC and friends can actually manage to keep the smart, experienced, knowledgeable technical leaders who will hold them accountable and not fall for the bullsh-t excuses that will flow from Bengaluru. There’s about a 2% chance of that happening tho and it will be the same gutless spineless clueless leaders kept around that we’ve had since 2020 who will gladly accept the smoke that ENGINE will be pumping up their as--s.
