Management is getting awfully pushy about RTO again
Is it just me, or does the sudden push to get everyone back in the office five days a week feel like a precursor to something else? They keep talking about 'collaboration' and 'alignment,' but we all know that’s just corporate speak for weeding out the people who aren't fully committed or looking for a reason to shrink the footprint. Every time they start squeezing the remote policy, it’s usually followed by a round of 'voluntary' departures or a silent reorg. I’ve started tracking the vacant desks near my department, and the numbers aren't exactly pointing to growth. I’m tired of the vague emails about productivity when we’ve been hitting our KPIs just fine from home. It feels like they are trying to make the environment unpleasant enough that people quit on their own so they don't have to pay severance. If anyone has seen actual numbers or knows if they’re planning a formal reduction, please drop a hint. I’m not waiting around to be a statistic.
Anyone hearing whispers about Q4 headcounts?
It’s been suspiciously quiet on the floor lately. I’ve noticed a few more 'strategy review' meetings popping up on the calendars of middle management that just seem to drag on forever. Every time the oil price dips even a few cents, the rumor mill starts churning, but this feels a bit different than the usual cycle. I’ve been with OXY for a while now and I’ve learned to read the room, but the lack of clear direction from the top regarding the upcoming budget cycle has me putting my resume back in order just in case. Has anyone heard anything concrete or are we all just feeling the standard pre-earnings anxiety? I’m mostly worried about the support roles and the back-office functions that seem to be the primary targets whenever they want to 'streamline' operations. If you’ve heard anything regarding potential restructuring in the Permian or the corporate offices, please chime in. I’d rather be prepared than blindsided by an early morning Zoom call.
