How’s that culture?

It is as though Mckinsey designed this process to do the max amount of damage to morale and culture as possible. Every meeting exposes another layer of flaccid leadership and utter tone deafness. Every townhall would’ve been better off as an email. The magical plan makes less and less sense, with nearly no substance of any kind. And it’s well-known fact that people react favorably to protracted uncertainty and stress, so we’re stretching it out as long was we possibly can.

Btw - If it’s not obvious yet, the starting point of all this was “how can we lay off as many US employees as possible”, and they worked backward from that. The rest is smoke and mirrors.

To the managers who will be retaining their current positions: Will you do what you can to retain your current people if they want to continue to be on your team in the “Future State”?

"These consulting firms are a convenient way to dodge accountability for failures. Three years down the line, when things fall apart, the excuse will be: "It was McKinsey's fault" — because, of course, our leaders are beyond reproach. Why not make the offer letters of these top leaders public? Let’s see what’s expected from them and hold them accountable for everyone when we fail."

A big question for me is what exactly they do consult about?
Are they doing any of the actual work?

You are pathetic and bitter scograllions!!! Get over it, u bring no value to CVX!!!

I betting McKinsey is prepping the next semi decade layoff right now.

To the managers making org charts - what are your criteria? Remove x%?

All those execs going “I’m spending 4 hours a week working on this (reorg)”…. Dude that’s 10% of your contractual working week… no wonder it’s going to take a year

I’m a manager and I’m in the middle of making the org chart. Be patient folks

They don’t even have org charts drafted. If you don’t realize that you’re not paying attention.

While our leaders remind us that this is a business, they almost always fail to remember that the consultants (all of the different ones we’ve used in these reorgs) are also businesses selling their services and making a ton from chevron. It’s ok to stand up and disagree with the consultants. But that would require a backbone and a hint of their own strategic thinking.

Things are different now in the company, ran by clowns, who have close relationships with these consultants. We are filled with leaders who just talk, talk, talk and ask for micro information
