Office politics over results! - Engineer TotalEnergies Employee Review

Slow progression of ideas and innovation. If an idea doesn't come from one regarded as an expert, it's not taken. The school you graduated from determines your career progression. Too much office politics and sucking up to bosses to move up the ladder than appreciation for work delivery. He who doesn't work as hard can be better appraised than the hard worker. A lot of incompetent middle management that got positions based on politics. Gossip also seems to be a part of the culture. Technical contest of ideas are taken as disrespect, I guess that's why they are not the number 1 in the O & G industry.
