If they really want to lower US headcount they'd get a little more creative. if they'd just bump me up/credit me the 10 years for the retiree medical. I'd take any EOI they'd offer. As is I'm 3 years years away and holding on for dear life.

Since the 2020 reorg was a failure and the dysfunction and morale is rock bottom again after another failed layoff.....so how to fix it? Let's do another layoff in the future as the only thing that fixes a botched layoff is more layoffs!!!! No way... — read more 

Anyone have one of those "I did that" stickers of MW pointing for all the dysfunction after both massive layoffs?

My team was shown out CES results… I guess. It’s laughable, and totally on brand, that they only show very very select portions of the results now. I have it from very good sources that this is all an exercise in gaslighting, to make it appear the... — read more

ApEX and other petrotech AI systems: Real current impact on your workflows or just management hype of incremental improvements?

I was told that the new PMP system uses five ratings, from A to E, with E being the lowest. Rumor has it that receiving two consecutive E ratings could lead to contract termination. I was also told that in teams of five or more people, each rating... — read more

got the results for my team and, as expected, the lowest ratings are for corporate strategy and direction. There is confusion about roles and a much worse morale because of the new PMP system which is likely to disappoint many.

It seems like every week I’m finding out a talented colleague has left or is about to. And it’s not malcontents, but people who drank the CVX cool aid from a Big Gulp. Just found out another one today. The talent/brain drain is staggering.

Corp Affairs just did something I’ve not seen before. Without warning, they reduced headcount. People received phone calls and were given notice of role elimination. Be careful answering the next call from your supervisor.

What company initiative sounded good on paper but was actually useless or made the job worse? Curious what people actually think.

Any next offshore president intel now that BG is moving up the ladder?

Seems so odd to see so much churn at the exec level 16 months post reorg. Have the LT class seen enough from this sh-tshow they they’re happy to cash in their stock? Or is this the quiet acknowledgement none of this is working and time for a change?

Its been somewhat quiet for a little while and there is no way MW and his cronies are done with us. Benefits cuts now? More layoffs? Record profits to them means more cuts needed for extra record breaking profit!

I'm sure you'll be able to do so much better somewhere else.

Isn't that sad? The second quarter saw highest revenue in four years, and it means nothing for us. We had cuts since then and we still have to worry about cuts on a daily basis. Whatever happens, we never come out on top.

Is it due to more reorg plane and job cuts?

It can't be only that they can be done remotely, since then most of us would already be out of work. So what is it?

100% of Black Diamond goes, which is pretty specific. But the rest is very vague as I hear not ALL Midstream assets go with this sale. So what other assets go? What about the employees that are dedicated to the divested assets?

Hearing of many resignations of key personnel fleeing to upstream competitors starting operations. Any truth to that? How is the company addressing? This is a complex place to operate and can’t afford to be losing talent like this.

Don’t know anything about JG. How is he?
