Useless executives - There are just too MANY.
SETC management - Another example of useless management
Managers with less than 5 people in their reporting lines - Just not needed
Managers trying to look busy by tossing papers - There are still many who are just checking schedules
SDR employees protected with no specific reason - SDR is a money-s---ing organization that is ridiculously well-protected.
Anything else?
I quit slb before the downturn and I checked this site once when I was curious about how things were, saw some funny gossip and for that I look here every once in a while. I was curious about some former colleagues so I got on linked in to see who ended up where. Outside of field personnel all of the people I thought were useless are still employed at slb except for 1 former maintenance supervisor. I was fairly surprised by that.
Think New J-O-B, for those in the know.
no shortage of managers with 0 or 1 person in reporting line. I've seen reporting lines of 1-1-1. How has that ever made sense?
There's an interminable list of slackers who could be considered I don't mind saying.
Get rid of the assistant demi-chef de partie in my office
