Once the cuts are done, the rest of us will be expected to pick up the slack. Considering most of us are already stretched to our limits, things will only get much, much worse. Those getting laid off might not be the ones getting the short end of the stick after all.

Poster below me - do you mean EOI or AEOI?
If you AEOI. You will leave in June. If you don’t AEOI you will run in the ROMs and most are going to Houston. If you don’t want to go to Houston AEOI now otherwise if you tell them you don’t wanna go after you land a job you are gonna have to quit with no severance or unemployment cuz you quit.
@dm+1 might as well EOI because its not happening here.
I wish I had the opportunity for challenging, meaningful work. Instead I spend my time in daily standups, sprint retros, PI context setting, PI pre-planning, PI planning, PI planning report outs, PI look backs, sprint demos, town halls and mandatory training. Don’t skip any of these because the POs and PLMs have incredible power and it will come back to haunt you.
Now, I have to get back to writing my user stories and a PMP for what goals I plan to achieve over the next year in an org that might not exist in three months.
I learned the meaning of hard work because I worked contract for Exxon Mobil. Quantity and no errors, please. Have it ready by tomorrow.
I’ve always wondered how people have time to just meet up with friends and have a chit chat and coffee in the sky ring . Must be nice
You might, there are others that will actually just do less because they can.
Scan the sky ring Starbucks area sometime. Do any of those people appears overworked?
O&M has been overworked for years now. Can’t meet minimum coverage so we just reduce minimum coverage requirements. Just wait for the day when they want even more productivity from you but deny you proper tools and resources to get it done.
Honestly the hard work of the office is that individual contributors have to execute the whims of entry level supervisors (TL’s/GM’s). The doublespeak lingo hula hoops we jump thru to make them seem competent is the hardest. So not physically but mentally draining.. our management couldn’t run a day shift at Whataburger without having McKinsey advising them how to..
Stretched to your limit??? Sure. Wasting hours in useless meetings everyday doesn’t help but stretched to your limit, really?
People at chevron do have it easy. Please tell me what white collar job a chevron is super hard? I’ll hand up and listen. It’s not like you are roofing a building lol.
To the posters that say people at Chevron have it easy and don't work hard: what do you define as hard work?
I really don’t think most of y’all know what work is lol. Especially if you have only worked for chevron. Y’all need to grown the f up.
Sounds like complaints from people who have no idea what hard work is. Not willing to put in the extra effort.
Yeah, ok. So what? Since you are unhappy, you may want to seek a job with the federal gov.
So quit then.
The issue is when they guess wrong and eliminate the hard worker on the team , then everyone scrambles.
trust me, theres plenty of people sitting on their hands. you wont even notice the "reduced capacity".
Oh I would bank on THAT. You will be expected to use the latest cluster ph--k cloud software suite. Of course you will spend endless hours training on it and so on further bringing more inefficiencies and then there is of course co-pilot stupidity
Good luck with that
Starting in April - when the first wave of EOI start departing. Suddenly we’ll have fewer people and none of the theoretical efficiencies or streamlining yet. This will be an absolute goat fu-k.
