We lifted it from the Houston to San Antonio datacenter, but now the writing is on the wall and we must pull out per Microsoft.

I hear Bay Area attrition for CVX is massive. Makes sense with the strong tech economy. Let’s face it O&G can no longer complete salary wise. The people who are stuck here (petrotechs) will steady see their (relative) income drop. (Serves them... — read more 

Who wants to bet there'll be no return to the office this year? Judging by the news and the decisions other companies have been making, I don't see Chevron going against every other company and pushing the issue before next year. Which works... — read more 

Chevron continues to focus on the things that don’t matter. We are constantly distracted from actually doing our jobs and being productive. The process has us thinking or worrying about the next role so we never focus on the job at hand. Extremely... — read more

I came here to see how everyone feels about HR and from what I gather there is an overall distrust. The question I have is who do we go to if there is an issue that needs to be resolved to our satisfaction if not HR? I understand that for many going... — read more 

I am and I know plenty of people who do as well, but I was surprised to hear there are a lot of younger folks who treat their job here primarily as a stepping stone for something better and have no intention of staying. I'm not sure where they can... — read more 

Has anyone seen the percentage of people of color in CVX? How is it in the general population and in management? Who are the most senior non-white managers? I can only think of a couple out of about 200 PSG30 and up.

How worried should I be if I've found myself with less and less work in the past several weeks? This never happened to me before, I always had to struggle to finish everything in time. Now suddenly my workload has dropped by half at least. Has... — read more 

Heard that there will be something called talent review sessions coming up this week for 24 and above. Gimme a break. More like a popularity review since people at those levels are lacking in what anyone would call talent. If you think the... — read more

This company and its leadership have completely lost their moral compass. They say one thing and do the complete opposite and then play stupid when called out on it. The things they allow to happen here should be illegal. I've been here for three... — read more 

Chevron will be checking self uploaded Vaccine cards when considering any new promotion to supervisor/team lead jobs. Furthermore, anyone in management who does not have an uploaded vaccine card will be moved to advisor/contributor roles after there... — read more 

Not the employee survey…. The allegedly feedback rich environment ….Hmmm apparently not if you’re a supervisor. 6 in our team, none asked either time.

Chevron has not ruled out mandatory vaccinations, MW dodged the question during the Townhall. They are waiting for the FDA to approve vaccinations this month. You heard it here first!

Have there ever been more people here who are in positions way beyond their capabilities? I doubt it. In some cases the gap between their capabilities and the work they perform is so great that it is sad to watch. I wouldn’t care if it didn’t... — read more 

Any news on incoming layoffs?

then why is attrition so high?

We gave away Atlas at the lowest historic gas prices. Prices have nearly doubled in a year and poised to race higher. Europeans are paying as much as $15/mcf. Crazy market.

This leadership treats all of its employees with disdain but since their results are good nobody cares. It doesn't matter that we do the work behind those results. Nope. They are the ones who receive the accolades and we get layoffs, verbal abuse... — read more 

A completely blank email would have communicated the same amount of information and saved the company a million dollars of wasted time spent reading it.

Just viewed EB’s Open Mic session regarding CTC. Interested in hearing comments from others on what they thought. No surprise questions were via Workplace and not PollEV.

I thought management was okay with business disruption?

I honestly can't see how a share buyback could benefit the company in the long run. Aren't there plenty of better ways to spend that money? For example, making sure you keep the growing number of more experienced employees who have been flocking to... — read more 

I'm not sure if this is just lack of a vacation, or burnout, or something else, but I find myself more easily confused over things that used to be so simple. I've missed a few deadlines, nothing major, just LMS requirements. I totally blanked on the... — read more
