As soon as the acquisition is complete we will have a more clear picture of what Chevron plans to do with our workers. Knowing that the main motive for our acquisition was our assets, not our manpower, I don’t see that any good can come for the... — read more 

What is the Anadarko severance plan?

Our benefits are rivaled by no one. 7 weeks vacation. 15% contribution to 401K. CVX can KMA - we enjoyed Anadarko while it lasted. I wander what will Chevron do.

What's the thoughts onthe DJ?

In other words the question is what is Chevrons vision how many Anadarko employees will remain employed after the acquisition? Do you think they already have some sort of a plan or strategy regarding who they want to fire and who gets to stay, ore... — read more 

For those of you fit and ready for retirement, this acquisition could be your wet dream, your early ticket out. Chevron’s standard severance package pays 2 weeks pay for every elígele year of service (8 weeks minimum and 52 weeks max), plus 6 months... — read more 

What should we expect since the deal with Chevron just took place? Will we have to deal with watching co-workers around us get layed off? Any input would be nice.

I haven’t seen a merger, especially on this level that isn’t followed with a wide restructure within the acquired company, so we are probably bound to have the same fate. What puzzles me in this whole story is the precise logic of the potential... — read more

CVX employee here, who has survived multiple ROMs (our version of the hunger games). I’ll give it to you APC folks straight. That guy who they announced will lead the integration on the CVX side has NO soul. If this were feudal times you could expect... — read more 

I haven't seen any info or opinions about people working as contractors at APC everything is mostly from an employee standpoint. Is it fairly safe to assume that all contractors will be let go, or would some possibly survive? Apologies if that's a... — read more 

How long will APC’s change iof ownership severance apply? At what point in the process does it cease and you are under Chevron’s regular severance policy? Just trying to think of what situation they could screw you out of that.

I'm wondering if the core values will change under the new ownership? I remember the brown nosers standing up during the birthday/new hire lunches and spewing their b---s--- about their stupid 'core values moments' and 'safety moments'. Well, a lot... — read more 

Chevron told Wall Street Analysts they’re planning $1B synergies vs APC $1B in G&A. Given a lot of G&A is tied up in multi year vendor contracts, it will be far more than $1B in people costs, anyone in Woodlands, you will likely be fired. Minor... — read more 

So chevron ceo was clear. We want onshore and Mozambique. Everything else is going on the block. Most of Anadarko becomes redundant. All shared services are on the chopping block. Some operational support will survive. Everything else is gone.

I am not sure what kind infrastructure, networking and applications Chevron runs. Do you think that our IT people will be hit hard and do you think a lot of people will lose jobs. I am not sure what to expect - if someone has an inside knowledge... — read more 

That was a good offer. Why in the world they went Chevron for $65? Dont know... Yet, as an employee, I'd rather see us join CVX - I think they are better organized and the synergies will be better. I am pretty sure OXY would also do more layoffs but... — read more

Hi all! Tough day. Anyone know of any other operators around Denver with similar benefits (good PTO, health, 9/80, etc.) to look into? Noble, PDC, Extraction, Whiting, etc.? Which other company would feel comparable? Thank you!

That was a flurry of activity y'all. Let's break for lunch & a workout and reconvene at 1 o'clock for some more chatter.

Anadarko employees. This is a horrible deal for you. As a former chevron employee, no one will tell you the truth but many of you will loose your jobs. It doesnt matter if you are well thought of at Anadarko and one of the hardest working best... — read more 

Will Chevron keep the accounting department around? I feel like they'll need us because our assets are specialized more than others.

There will be so many once this Chevron acquisition goes through. Consolidation layoffs, restructuring layoffs, cost cutting layoffs - when it comes to acquisition, it's the perfect time to get rid of as many people as they can/want without many... — read more

Not much chatter on layoffs lately here - is something coming or are we in a safe period?

Layoffs coming with bonuses. Severance plus bonus check. Good luck. Management is going to announce it the Friday bonus checks get cut. They're going to use it as a way to get the stock price back up. Any truth to this? Can anybody confirm or... — read more 

Another Q4 miss! The best and brightest in the industry are really taking an unconventional approach to running a world class business. Making shareholders proud!

I can’t belive they are laying older people off and giving them the option to have a larger severance if they promise not to sue!

Managers are licking their lips at the idea of being able to tell their subordinates how they have failed, not met standards or “embodied the core values” (what a load of nonsense!!), and screw them out of bonuses, raises, and merits. Get ready... — read more

why would they move so many people to midland just to move them back to the woodlands? really dumb!!! totally illogical, shows foolishness and the lack of resolve among management.
