I just want to chime in that while the O&G culture is far from perfect. There have been some really big strides during my 10 years with the one company. Where we were a decade ago to today is drastically different.
It's encouraged to be more vulnerable now, admit mental health struggles. Gender and race are also talked about a lot in a sense of how can we all work together while maximizing each others potential. A lot more open, frank dialogue exists now than it did at any point before.
Like I said, far from perfect but I dont think its at all as toxic as some make it out to be. And considering how much time and money Canadian O&G companies invest in environmental, indigenous, and community initiatives I'd say they're still the leader by far in many ways. We would be absolutely ####ed without them. Despite all the roadblocks, red tape, protests, Canadian O&G companies remain a pillar for most us, whether directly or indirectly.
