B-I-N-G-O. Musical chairs is the name of the game. Not enough chairs available encourages people to leave before next round of layoffs.
The new office is a marvel of modern design — ergonomic spaces, smart screens, seamless connectivity everywhere. Ironically, the only thing not seamlessly connected is half the GOA leadership, who still approach the simple act of plugging in a laptop like it’s a deepwater exploration campaign requiring a full risk register and a pre-drill hazard workshop.
And let’s be honest: if connecting HDMI is already a heroic challenge, imagine the odds of them navigating even the most basic geoscience concepts. Watching some of these leaders interpret a seismic line is like watching someone try to read hieroglyphics upside down — with the lights off — while insisting they’re providing ‘strategic guidance.’
Leadership, of course, is another fascinating frontier. We keep hearing about ‘vision’ and ‘alignment,’ yet the only alignment consistently missing is between their confidence and their actual understanding of the subsurface. It’s almost admirable how boldly they make decisions with the same level of geological insight as someone choosing a wine based solely on the color of the label.
