My sister-in-law works for one of the big old companies. She told me the bureaucracy and weird policy in her company. She has to take a safe driving course (every employee have to do that) once a year because the company are afraid of lawsuit in the even if an employee get into an accident during traveling for company business. The also installed a software called Workpace which force the user to take a break every 5 minutes. I didn’t make this up. The reason is that there was a lawsuit from an employee complaining about repetitive motions (I ask using a mouse or typing) causing his/her injure. The big oil companies have too much money that they are targeted for many lawsuits. They can’t move or change because of bureaucracy and the fear of being sued. The only reason that they are still here is that we haven’t changed. We still depend very much on oil. Once that is changed. All the big oil companies will go under. They won’t change to an energy company which can use other energy resources beside oil. No, they will die because they are dinosaur. I don’t know when this will happen but I think it is going to happen within a couple of decades.
