Topics regarding layoffs at Chevron Corp.

Better companies in this industry?

Of course, Chevron has a lot of things that need to be fixed. However, we should be realistic, there is no company in which there are no problems and in which all employees are doing great. I used to work for only one company from this industry... — read more 

Leaders defined by spouse behavior

It has been interesting interacting with the spouses of many our leaders. Of course, the great majority are women who don’t work. They are at least as driven as their husband with most taking up major charity roles in the community. It is normal and... — read more 

Job requirements

With the latest crop of "managers," it seems to me that the job description for any of the positions in the management comes with a "no experience required or needed" disclaimer. Actually, having experience seems to be a detriment since I've seen... — read more 

Your personal sacrifices while working here?

It all depends on the priority. For some, Chevron is a dream come true because they are mostly motivated only by the pay. I would very often give up portion of the pay, if only I could have at least a little work/ life balance. I missed a lot of... — read more 

Chevron is destined to fail

Despite what many company cheerleaders here think, Chevron is not as great as they'd like to believe. This company is old school through and through. It's stuck in place because it does not allow innovative or out-of-the-box thinking. You either do... — read more 

Chevron BOD and Exec Diversity

Board and upper management diversity is quick and easy to achieve since requirements can easily be met. If you want to know where the corp is headed on diversity in leadership, just look at the board of directors - 50% white male 40% female 17%... — read more 

The most toxic work environment

If there was a ranking for the most toxic work environment, I have no doubt that CVX would land at the very top. Just look at the posts here. So much hate, so much lying, so much bullying...and this is regular employees. The entire management is a... — read more 

What's your value added?

I started reading the comments here during the 2016 layoffs (which miraculously I survived), and still return here from time to time to see what's "trending". I complain about work as much as the rest (maybe even more than my share). I am getting old... — read more 

What would reduce employee turnover?

What do you think would currently prevent employees, especially those with great expertise and experience, to leave Chevron? Of course there are ways for the company to keep them, but I clearly doubt Chevron is ready for that. It seems to me that... — read more 

HR GM call

RM is unhappy with people leaving Chevron and the offers that they are recieving. So, tomorrow her GMs will be calling all PSGs between 20-24 that they think will be regrettable losses and have discussion. I guess we will find out how much Chevron... — read more 

I Don't Understand Why You Focus On Me

I have always had an open door policy and am willing to listen to anyone that has an issue with my organization. Simply call me or stop by my office. I am available. If you want to focus on a family, focus on the Luquette/Boroughs Dynasty. — read more 

HR receives another notice today

7th person since transformation to jump ship without a severance. RM should take notice, more to come as these individuals are sharing their recruiters.

Doozie of a townhall

First Mike mishears the inflation question thinking people are worried about how the company is managing procurement vs. employees actively getting poorer after terrible CIP and salary adjustments compounded by rising CPI. And then he goes full... — read more 

Do you hope there will be increases in salary?

Attrition is good for employees. When the market is hot and staff are jumping ship for better jobs, salaries rise. If attrition gets up to 10% per year or so Chevron will boost salaries quite a bit or bring back the perto tech bonus. That was... — read more 

Completely disconnected

This is still a much better company than others in the industry, however, sometimes I get the feeling that top dogs don’t even know what the situation is like among ordinary employees and what problems they are facing working here. Of course, they... — read more 

Chevron exiting Canada? New CBU President

Does anyone else think it’s a red flag they’re sending Balaji Krishnamurphy to CBU as the new president? After the other guy has only been the president for a few months. As far as I can tell, based on the only experience given in his introductory... — read more 

Attrition

I posted something on chevron attrition, why did it get deleted? I did not identify anyone or say anything offensive? Btw ... the attrition train rolls on, I see more today

HR is a disaster

RM should be ashamed......but i will take 4M a year to destroy moral for the 1100 that are left. When is the announcement for the remaining 20% that has posted over a year ago? I cannot wait to "be in scope again".

The last great migration

The move to Texas reminds me of when Chevron retained 300 HQ staff in downtown San Francisco and when Union had a similar small top staff hideout in Los Angeles. Then one day the whole HQ closed up and moved. Those selling California real estate will... — read more 

Prior Job At Chevron and TheLayoff.com

One of my prior jobs at Chevron was to monitor layoff.com and plant crazy stores in order to discredit the site. If employees started posting items that hit home really hard or items CVX did not want to discuss, I would start posting crazy topics... — read more 

Personality Surveys

ABU asset development has been trying to figure out our personalities since the beginning of the last decade. First it was e-colors then it was Myers Briggs and now it's the "Print Survey." I found that a reading the personality traits based on... — read more 

Employee Monitoring at Chevron

Curious what other employees know about employee monitoring levels at chevron? I imagine that, if the company really wanted to, they could technically and legally monitor anything and everything that occurs on company-owned devices (Keys pushed... — read more 

The meaning of boring meetings?

I get most tired in meetings that were very unnecessary. These are the type of meetings that later I have to try to figure out why they happened at all, and there are too many of such meetings. They almost never have a strict agenda and of course... — read more 

DP- Vaccines required for business travel.

During the HSE open mike, DP announced that vaccines will be required for business travel. Funny how quickly they forgot that they said they will not require it unless the law required it.

Why Would You Want to Work For Chevron?

If you are white male, why would you ever consider working for Chevron. Read the WSJ concerning the CEOs comments on pushing more women into leadership positions. Look at the recent reorg and count the number of white males released on a percentage... — read more 

Is Chevron hiring at the moment?

I interviewed there a while ago and at the time pay and benefits seemed more than decent. I choose another company then but now I'm rethinking that choice.

Attrition

Looking at my LinkedIn timeline, people who I thought would be hi-p-t are leaving the company. Even hi-p-t females are either leaving or signing up for MBA’s (plan B).

Why are people so quick to defend Chevron?

Whoever says something negative about the company gets downvoted into oblivion and don't even get me started on the comments. Why would people be so against calling out the company on legitimate issues? It's not as if somebody is attacking you or... — read more 

Chevron Nepotism

I was shocked when I read this article in Forbes about a Chevron Executive and how he was removing the barriers to move this daughter up in the company. Read for yourself. I guess this is just the world we live in... — read more 

job offer negotiation

hi everyone here, this is not about layoffs. Actually I've got a job offer few days ago for an Engineering entry level position based in Houston. I really like Chevron from the technical point and the role offered is exciting, but compensation... — read more
