It's all about office politics

It's sad how much office politics dominate possibilities to advance. It doesn't matter if you're the best worker with the best ethic. It's simply unimportant in the grand scheme of things where politics and nepotism determine everything. This is... — read more

Root cause of GOM decline

I think the hiring gap in the 90s could have been overcome with strong leadership. Instead, Mother Shell replaced a GOM-experienced leadership team with expats and vichy Americans who had never worked this basin. The worst part is, the type who... — read more
