If the goal was a completely apathetic workforce that no longer cares about anything company-related, then job well done! I've never seen so many people respond with whatever, or who cares, or a variation of such to everything. Now watch them act shocked when productivity takes a hit.

@aa+1jp1s6b1z, that's a good idea. After all, maybe you can work at Pizza Hut.
I'm finishing strong - actually much stronger than before. If I'm leaving, I want to be in the best position to find some luck (Preparation + hard work tends to help)
What are the chances people will put extra effort into training your replacement ???
What for? No one trained me. I had to figure things out on my own, take initiative and get answers. Let’s see those replacements EARN their spot. The company put in this situation. They can figure things out themselves.
This is nothing new- we all had to figure out on our own whenever we came into a new position. Don’t feel bad about it- just focus on what’s next for you. Company definitely is not looking out for you. My managers aren’t either. They are trying to psych each other out to have less competition. It’s pitiful watching them strut around like peacocks but you can see they’re scared little kids. No one is looking out for you.
The grunt work is good for the grunts. Still need the grunts
I try to stay positive but it is hard when most of the groups around me are demoralized. The people in my own group are about to play “hunger games” with each other so there is an uneasiness in meetings. My boss and the designated “high flyer” walk around smug in keeping their positions and are not afraid to flaunt it…so that raises tension. The good thing, people’s true personalities are coming out. Had a “high flyer” tell me that they actually hated the grunt work they have to do and are only here to become a manager. It was like watching someone cr-p on my whole career.
And no one thought they could succeed at anything! Things are looking up now. Now build on these WINS!!! Great job….
Good riddance OP. Hope you got your AEOI in yesterday.
Companies will change, but at the end of the day you need to work to provide for your own and that means setting higher standards that you can strive for no matter who is in charge of Chevron. Slacking off now only hurts you in the end. You're always going to compete in life and being a sloth in your final days will be evident as you interview for new positions. I'm not trying to feed you some rah-rah psychobable, merely suggesting that people want to dance with the prom queen, not the girl leaning against the wall.
Victory for you is to leave on a high, not a low.
@OP Try a little harder to make it sound like this is a new thing and hasn't been going on for years already. You can do it. You're not even halfway selling the charade. lmao.
Just make sure you get your badge scans in!!!!!!!!!!! :)))
I concur.
I certainly don’t have the energy or inclination to fight against the worthless, ineffective processes and procedures adored by this company.
I absolutely do not have the energy or inclination to handhold my soon-to-be replacement in a low cost geography —- a replacement that has spent the past four weeks drafting a plan for the work they want to execute, for what should have been a two week exercise.
And there is zero chance I am updating my talent card for an organization that has no desire to retain any semblance of it, let alone recognize it.
