Salary and bonus treatment
How did everyone do?
Going back to the office is trauma for a lot of people.
So this is a rant and I'm going to ramble. If you don't want to read it or engage, or if you want to engage in a negative way, I truly appreciate you just skipping this one. Seriously, if you want to engage in a negative way, pat yourself on the back... — read more

Leveraging an offer in hand
Any insights on leveraging an offer in hand? Imagine attempting to even try is a kiss of death but I'm curious what others have experienced.
Calling out a Spade for a Spade
Does anyone have a tip for discretely or cleverly challenging a TL or manager for the value that they add (fiscal, people development, or any other category)? And making visible this lack of value to the organization? Have a new one as a result of... — read more
Overseas Jobs
Man, what a time it was to work overseas making a 50% premium and 30 days off at a time compared to working the normal work schedule. Those days are dwindling and if you didn’t take advantage of it you should be kicking yourself!

What are GMs and Supervisors saying and being told about RTW?
From what I understand LT have been in supervisor meetings about RTW. What sort of questions are being asked and what answers are being given? For example, are supervisors being judged on how many of their employees badge in/out and how often? ... — read more

It seems to me that the attrition has slowed down
Or at least not one of my colleagues has left for a while now. Either that or it just seems to me that the attrition has slowed down because all those who could have gotten a better option have already left?
MW on competitive Salaries
What do you all think about MW on competitive salaries and non-record breaking inflation? To me it was like an old man saying "I used to walk 30 miles in the rain and snow to get to work" kind of response. Im expecting low raises not even close to... — read more
Diversity at Chevron
Honestly Chevron is slowly becoming less diverse if you look at the definition of diverse. Slowly but surely there are fewer and fewer white individuals in many positions. Having many different races represented is great and I support it but if there... — read more
General Managers - our weakest link
My observation is that Chevron is typical in having hard working staff and great supervisors trying to align to corporate strategy outlined by qualified executives. But, in between we have a massive layer of mediocre to terrible entrenched middle... — read more
MW if it’s not safe for you to have an in person town hall with masks and social distancing then it’s not safe for us to return to work!

Vaccinated stickers
So what happened to the little stickers for our displayed badges to prove it ok not to ware a mask? I have been to work several times over the last few weeks but have heard nothing about it.
Amazon doubles base pay.
Will this accelerate attrition at chevron and O&G overal?
Townhall and any layoff talks?
What do you all think MW will have to say this week? I hope no layoffs but I always worry about MW getting desperate for another round of layoffs since he seems to enjoy them. I'll be listening for more code words like "transformation" or some new... — read more
Remote Work Double Standard (A Tirade For Fellow Cynics)
Executives want everyone back at the office. Putting aside the meaningless allusions to “collaboration,” which wasn’t happening in offices prior to Covid, they’re not entirely wrong to want people back there. The double standard comes from the... — read more
So Long Colors Program - How Could We Have Spent So Much Money On This Stuff?
I am so proud of my wells supervisor. Wednesday of last week, my supervisor took a vote and then passed a small trash can around. We were all asked to toss our colors bands in it as it was one of the biggest waste of time and money. Everyone... — read more
Raises as Chevron v. Shell
I work at Shell and we just learned what our raises are for 2022. The vast majority are getting ~2% while a few whose performance ranked "higher" may be getting 4%. Last year we ALL got 0% so most people have gotten, on average, ~1% increases over... — read more

Anyone else think MW is mad about that 1.5 bonus and wants us in office so their can be an excuse for 2022 to be .75 due to a bunch of Covid Deaths?
RTW
Okay you want everyone back to the office.... Leadership all the way up to the b--ch MW should be in the office 100% of the time!
Why should we care about "field" workers?
I keep seeing field workers talking about how tough they have it compared to the city slickers. I don't see why we should care about what GED red.necks have to say. You wanted to get a manual labor job so you could spend your free time drinking bud... — read more
Houston Threat Level
Houston is still in the highest transmission threat level… why are we rushing back into the office? We just posted record results so we know WFH is working. So much for basing RTW on science and decreasing trends… and thanks for the 1 week notice… — read more

IT Talent Management??? Or Outsourced
