Respectful and safety-conscious workplace

Advice to Senior Management – Generally I'm pleased with management's direction - the one exception is my extreme dissatisfaction with their large political contributions and the pressure applied to management level employees to support the Chevron PAC even when personal beliefs are in conflict with PAC activities.

Cons – If you work for a service division, your ability to grow your career is limited.
Moving out of a service division can be difficult.
Workforce optimization often promotes people into management/supervisory positions who aren't aware of the talents of the team, and if layoffs are involved this often leads to valuable team members getting laid off.

Advice to Senior Management – Be very careful about evaluating talent. Talk to members of a team to see what team members are truly valuable and which team members are just taking up space.
