It's the only AI software that Chevron has. I am guessing that the LT is planning on celebrating this tool as a means of leveraging AI to cut operational costs. The entirety of AI within CVX has been oversold to the board and the executive team. They have been pumping money into the "dream" software for years and the BoD wants to see results. The money saved over cutting headcount from eavesdropping on emails and text messages will never match the promised returns of AI sold to the board. There is a critical OC gap with regards to AI and the datasets are a mess. It will take years to harvest energy production related returns from AI within Chevron. MW is on the $32M hook to show costs cuts has cut critical headcounts and is now recreating a low cost workforce in India and eliminating the costly US workforce in an attempt to realize the savings that AI might have provided. This is a one-to-two-year trick pony because it's not a sustainable YoY strategy. Once the sham starts falls apart in a year or two, MW (who is already cashing out) will depart. In the meantime, Chevron will lose more talented people since it is fairly evident there is no long-term career to be had here. This is a prime example of how short-sighted corporate leadership with a shallow technological understanding can destroy a once great company. The workforce tension and the desperation of management is palpable, and the first cracks are starting to appear.

@dq AI will likely replace you in the next 1 -5 years, so, you might want to worry about it a little bit.

@da
You should automate the process to save your self time. There are courses taught by MS to improve productivity through automation. You can place both on your PMP for training course and implementing the automation.

Uh who cares. All the hotline calls and investigations on the CIO’s clear and blatant conflict of interest doesn’t even matter. Just get the share price up at all costs. MW doesn’t care about anything you do.

@OP this is surprising to you?

Don’t worry, this company couldn’t AI its way out of a paper bag.

I send Teams messages to myself to give myself a pep talk throughout the day, which my therapist recommended when I began having some dangerously depressed feelings. I don’t even care if they discover this. I can barely get myself out of bed from my paralyzing depression, and I gotta do whatever I need to keep going. This company has ruined my mental health.

IBM offered a service to high grade employee performance and predictive analytics. Most oil companies subscribed. Results were tabulated quarterly and sent directly to HR. The yearly pmp were not even a consideration for promotion and dismissal.
