Its time for the white collar workers of Chevron Unionize to fight our brutal management!
What’s with the recent push for Subsurface talent management?
The floodgates opened a month or two ago after a year+ of absolutely no guidance. It’s like someone flipped a switch and all of a sudden, employee growth is important to CVX again. Seems like there is an email or engagement every week on this. I’m... — read more
Where did my company go :( ?
The Chevron that I’ve known and loved for 25 years it’s just not the same. Our share of cost for benefits has increased so much, the changes in our disability plans and mental health has been astounding. Did you know that if someone dies in your... — read more
Steady HRBP Exits
We're averaging an HRBP leaving almost every 2 months since the reorg in wave 2. Are we going to do away with this pool model? It's confusing and not working.
Taking credit
I find it disgraceful how many leaders take credit for successful projects that they have nothing to do with. Good leaders highlight their team success, not su-kout all the credit.
PSG 24/25+ employees
Have organizations received PSG reduction targets and is PSG 25 becoming the technical ceiling?
Would you take another EOI?
If Chevron offered another EOI tomorrow, would you take it? Include years of service and approximate career stage if you're comfortable.
Why has the work environment turned so toxic?
I went from really liking my job to dreading it. And it happened in six years I've been here, which is not that long for such a drastic change.
Chevron and trump
Let’s keep this civilized, above board and as dispassionate as possible. Come at it from the angle of a Chevron employee who wants the best for our company. Our leadership was eager to be the first in line for a close friendship with the... — read more
Workload is unsustainable
Finance employee. It is breaking us. Leadership knows and doesn’t care. Time to jump ship? Anyone else feel the same?
New WFH Strucuture will be announced at SETH
Wanted to provide an update based on what was discussed in an executive meeting this week, given some of the questions that have been circulating. Beginning in 2027 there may be one or two modest adjustments to headcount. These would be targeted and... — read more
$7 billion investment plan to expand its oil operations in Venezuela's Orinoco Belt.
Orinoco Belt oil is extra heavy with lots of bitumen. Does Chevron or anybody else have 300,000 BPD of Delayed Coker Capacity available to cover that?
the pension
Someone explain to me how the pension plan works please? Got hired in 2018. No manager has ever broken it down clearly and my understanding is it also different based on the year you are hired. I know there is a projection chart somewhere but I’m... — read more
WSJ: Chevron’s Mike Wirth and others warn global supplies are running low, with no respite in sight
Oil Executives Say the Great Fuel Crisis Is Here Trump officials say the oil-market disruption is temporary, but Chevron’s Mike Wirth and others warn global supplies are running low, with no respite in sight. ... — read more
Bonus paycheck - when?
When is the alleged extra pay-check under the guise of a R&A coming to us. Haven’t heard anyone mention it. Do you think they will follow through? Why wouldn’t MW set a date, something for us to look forward to? Another thing that could have been... — read more
Get ready for forced ranking
Be careful out there.
CVX at $216 - Who’s selling?
How high will it go? I sold most of my CVX years ago. I still have a good chunk but def not one of those all CVX EE’s. I’m mid career and already looking for the off rap. Building that 401k and pension till the next lay off. I’ve gotten nearly 20... — read more
The Departed
An actor with the initials MW famous quote: "My theory on Feds/replace with employees/ is that they're like mushrooms-Feed'm sh_t and keep'm in the dark!" Sounds like LT's new company plan.
2026 Promotion Cycle
Management are actively trying to suppress promotions; and trying to plant the idea that lateral moves are "just as good" in terms in career advancement. The target is to reduce PSG 24+ by 30-40% over the next 3 years. This will be mostly natural... — read more
Labor Day Blues
Enjoying a few silver bullets on the day dedicated to hard workers. Got to wondering, would you rather train AI or ENGINE to replace you. My money is AI. Can always get a job as a contractor to those consultants to keep selling the next greatest... — read more
PMP Season
SPMP season draws nearer, for some Office spice have copilot generated list of random employees as low performers and selected for PIPs. Have this list printed to a random printer in the Houston and let the fun begin
ENGINE vs Exxon’s BTC?
What are your thoughts? asking for a friend woth offers at both places.. do you guys hate that a remote office in Bangalore is taking up jobs?
New selection Event in December?
Has anyone heard if a new selection event is scheduled for this December? Curious if any updates are circulating. I heard a rumor today.
Who’s going to Venezuela?!?
We saw the news. How many would actually post in the PDC? Would love to hear from actual expats who’ve done rotational or permanent.
The future outlook
Where do you really see this place in a year? Try not to be all doom and gloom.
I am so motivated!

Reorgs
MW is 0-2 on deep cut reorgs that have royally messed up the company. Is he going to go 0-3 and mess it up further with more reorgs run by consultants we pay millions to? Managers out there, what is being said about the state of the company and the... — read more
Work/life balance?
I haven't had a life since I joined six months ago. Is this normal?
Goodbye to non-relocators
A few of my friends/ coworkers are leaving the company instead of relocating. I’m sad to lose great people. We did big things together and am close friends with many. I respect their choices and wish them well. Hard to expect people to uproot their... — read more
Ageism
Does Diversity & Inclusion policies apply to those of us who are 60+? Are the older employees protected or is ageism not really a “category” to protect at CVX? Asking for a friend.
So long chumps
Finally pulling the trigger on leaving this place. I had hoped for a long career here, but the writing is on the wall. Our leadership is clueless. This reorg is a let’s-bo-b-Iran level absolute disaster, with no way out. Upward mobility is totally... — read more
Eligible for retiree medical?
If you don't relocate, are you still eligible for retiree medical? They are coding it as Voluntary Resignation. Does it matter what HR codes it in Workday? I'm on my wife's plan currently, but we would like to use Chevron's medical when she... — read more
WFH Mondays are back in 2027
I heard it from the Big Man himself. There will be announcement late November stating that WFH Mondays are back 1/1/2027. The main motivation is all the feedback in the CES
I was in the last round of Chevron layoffs
And I couldn't be more grateful. That place is a disaster, and getting out was the push I needed to find something better. Being let go feels like a punishment when it happens, but with time you realize it's a gift. Go find something that doesn't... — read more
So long Angola….well at least parts of you.
I guess those assets in Angola we are selling off aren’t technically being layed off. But, probably a good thing to get out from under Chevron while they can. Who’s next. APAC?
IT Strikes Again
Why do all internal websites now take ages to load?
Exec and other senior leaders… next ones up?
Who replaces MKW? Obvious choice right now is EB Upstream CN? BK, RB? CFO EB -> JG Downstream AW? Subsurface JK? Wells JS? Turnaround, Capital Projects, FE movements probably not from retirements as those guys are pretty young still MN and ES... — read more
HR Townhall
What was that.. 12 mins of content circleje*k with no updates or results and 40 mins of questions that don’t tell us sh1t. Basically confirmed future reductions and refused to even acknowledge the question about what quartile cost we’re in now..
Time to have a conversation
Is it time to have a conversation on who was a worse CHRO? RM or MG? Entire organization is falling apart while looking head on to more layoffs.
