ABU Reorg

Angola LNG
Must be making tons of money now. Tells you how short sighted MW is. The upstream industry is like this, losses year after year but then it suddenly rains and then it pours cash!
CVX stock
Stock is on a tear. How high will it go before taking the inevitable fall?
Are we going to follow the example set by BP and Shell?
Or am I going to have to start hiding where I work? I'm ashamed of this company right now.
PSG and CO
Is mid point (100% CO) for PSG 23 174k? Just trying to see if I should work towards a promotion or a job outside of CVX.
I'm not sure
Is Chevron now preferring attrition or is our management not indifferent to the fact that the best are leaving the company?
BP Collapse
BP has been terrible for a long time. They just lost half their reserves and a third of their production. Someone will buy them soon. Probably Shell.
SJVBU reorg
SJV still going through MFO. They released first phase results which indicates deep cut in projects, production, maintenance. Any news or expectation on the new org coming soon?
How does this industry plan to recruit from colleges going forward?
I don’t get it when I see college students studying petroleum engineering, geology or land. Why would anyone want to go into an industry that won’t have domestic positions in the next decade. The narrative is against the industry and I doubt they... — read more

Super dead at the office on Thursdays
Seems like Thursday is the new Friday in Houston. Maybe most folks are only working Tues and Wed in the office.
Thoughts on when the next major round of layoffs could happen?
I'm thinking not anytime soon, considering the prices of oil and their upward trajectory, but you can never be 100% certain.
Not wearing masks
Where can I report coworkers for not wearing masks who i know are unvaxxed/ don’t have their sticker..

Michael Wirth vs John Watson vs David J. O'Reilly
Who cared about the worker more? Who did better? Who did less damage? Who had more vision? Who created more value?
Leaving due to bad leadership
Technical management in Surface is not technical and talks in circles. Never commits to anything… we keep doing the same stuff even though we say we want to be builders. 10 years in and I’m done with the frustration. That’s the top issue. Then Amazon... — read more

How has return to office been in Houston? How has the commute been including Metro if you have taken it?

What's it really like to work for Chevron?
I guess I don't really work for the company yet- I'll be working as a PE intern this summer for my 3rd internship, and I'd like to get hired on full-time after graduation. A lot of family friends in the industry speak highly of CVX, in comparison to... — read more
Chevron is not a good place to grow your skills
When I joined, I was excited to grow my skills and learn. That was one of the main reasons I joined. However, soon I discovered that training is sparse and mentoring nonexistent. I had to figure out stuff on my own which added hours to my workday... — read more

Cafe incident
So yesterday I was in line for the salad bar at 1400 when this admin-type lady comes in, all agitated, and asks to pick up a pre-ordered salad. They workers give her a blank stare and she hisses "it's for Bruce N*** and he is in a hurry, if you know... — read more
When is the IT townhall?
When will the IT townhall be held?
Good advice
For those with exceeds and low raises, you need to be talking to your supervisor about a promotion. If they can’t get you all promo, you need to post for jobs with a promotion. The new system will punish people that are exceeding expectations within... — read more
Ghost town
Is it just me or is 1400 a ghost town today? Seems as though 50% made some excuse to stay home. Chevron take notice......this is RTW week 1.
IT townhall now requires SSO for pollev
The stated reason is transparency? This makes 0 sense. It's a boycott on questions. Our management are such cowards. Don't be a coward Bill. I guess folks who leave should boycott their 2 weeks notice and just walk and enjoy the time off.
