New way of working (or not working)
Well we are moving forward with the new way of not working. Every decision needs funneled 2 layers up for president 's approval. Need to order parts submit an exemption and wait months while upper management delays approval long enough you lost the business and no longer need the part.
Need to hire an employee for new business that will generate revenue? Ignore the brand new people management system where everything HR is handled. You have to go. Ack to Quest to enter an exemption so your president can once again ignore it until you lose the contract from being understaffed.
Next we are implementing an exemption process for bathroom passes. No one can take a Sh1+ without an approved exemption.
Should squeeze a few more minutes out of employee utilization since you'll have to $hit at home from now on If you wait on approval you'll sh--e yourself before it happens.
Schlumberger has become a lethargic lumbering giant that gets less reactive to our clients and the marketplace with each self inflicted wound we give ourself as upper management struggles to show their involvement by strangling the businesses underneath them.
Afterwards they sit around patting each other on the back celebrating their Worthless KPO's that strangled revenue and growth. All the time wondering how new independant companies continue to surpass them on revenue growth and margins.
Welcome to the new way of working.
