I will start
Upstream: Worst to be part of big BU. Lot of work and no reward
Best: Small BU, same distribution and generally worse people. Even better Uncon support groups. Do nothing but critic others work - easy for any Exxon people
GP - Avoid Dev Planning. Go for any Cat 4 or lower projects.
@7px I don’t know anything about that though a thread on that topic about GP’s DW has been removed from this site.
I’m more interested in why he has office rage and why his consistent harassment and mistreatment of employees is tolerated.
development planning, GP
worst of the worse. made up work, political only skills, zero consience, all managers typically divorced or child less with nothing else going on in life other than scheming and politicking.stay away especially Permian or Guyana.
Best place to be is a "unionized" job along the US Gulf Coast, preferably a control room board operator. Control Room operators make significantly more money than engineers.
What's the tea on DW road rage?
Why is GP the worst place? Specially Dev Planning?
@OP career?Are you sure you are in the right forum
GP - avoid like the plague.
@t5 definitely true when DW was VP. Now he runs GP CPM which is very discouraging that his behaviors are still accepted / promoted by HR and Pres/MC. Good luck to those still there!
BPO
@ca EMIT still has employees?
@de someone needs to tell Road Rage Dan that many of us use the same routes to/from work and to work events, and having a vanity license plate makes road ragers’ cars easy to remember. Just sayin’
Procurement: Constantly rotate managers & worker bees so that no one is an expert on what they're supposed to negotiate. Add in offshoring to even less experienced people while constantly changing the goalposts. Berate the few talented people you have left holding it all together for not meeting the unrealistic goals. Keep reminding them that the end game is to replace them with lower cost alternatives, and then wonder why all loyalty to the company and motivation are gone. As they say "The beatings will continue until morale improves!"
It is more which ‘Sr leaders’ to avoid working within their orgs. Like Dan W and Carman M in GP
Worst: Exploration. Understaffed and underfunded for years leading to cutthroat behavior by wannabe execs and then all the sudden we hire 50+ and expect the experienced few left to onboard new people and still do the same amount of work as before because the 90% of exploration the last 6 years was Guyana and only few n Houston know how to do other plays.
worst: EMIT has entered the chat
best: EMIT has left the chat

Anywhere else but EM
