Company does not practice what it preaches - Manager Chevron Phillips Chemical Employee Review

For all of the diversity initiatives that the company claims to have, the upper-management at Chevron-Phillips does not value diversity of THOUGHT whatsoever. Value is placed on “visible diversity” only. Upper-management bullies mid-level management and below on a routine basis—overtly and covertly. If you push back on anything, you will be placed in time-out and will most definitely experience a career stall. Employees are often left wondering what they did wrong in pushing back/speaking up, because the company spews “trust” initiatives. I believe that employees start to feel safe in speaking up, only to then realize it’s all lip-service. I have seen it happen so many times and it has created a completely toxic culture . Upper-management all believe that they are the smartest people in the room and, therefore, you better go-with-the-flow or face consequences. Promotions are based on politics, not on competency nor results. Furthermore, in most areas, there is no value placed on anyone who does not hold a chemical engineering degree, which creates a culture of absolutes and unilateral thinking. It’s not a good long-term strategy for a business.
