You tell me.

I thought today was the day you were either fired or receive a new job offer...what's the hold up??

I swear, I thought it couldn't get worse than at my last workplace but I was very much wrong. At least at my last workplace, it was just my department culture that was awful, but the company was relatively okay. Here, the whole place is a mess... — read more 

Got the gas station clerk today I put my goods on the counter and he rings them up. He proceeds to tell me that the total is seven eleven ($7.11). I look at him sternly and reply, "no, this is Chevron". He wasn't nearly as amused as I was.

Oil prices are up 30% vs last year and all our competitors are taking victory laps with massive first quarter earnings. BP tripled. Exxon shot way up. Chevron? Downstream collapsed entirely and Upstream somehow managed to produce less even after... — read more 

More and more promotions are going to people who don't even know how to perform their core jobs, not to mention anything beyond that. What they do know is how to kiss the behinds of anybody who is above them on the 'food chain.' This is ki----g our... — read more 

Another RM town hall advertised, another Workplace poll request...instead of an anonymous tool like every other civilized person uses for those things. Does she expect anyone to be honest when their name is tied to their question? What happened to a... — read more 

If after 5 years of IT bi-----g to WFH wasn't enough, it took a F#$%ing pandemic to finally get Chevron to let us WFH with execs lying when they said we are "the same and if not more productive". Now a year later we see this email come out from that... — read more 

Way to go on going backwards. Company works very well for a year remotely but management decides sitting in a cubicle with a mask on is more productive. So much for higher returns and lower carbon. Can’t lower carbon if you are stuck in hours long... — read more 

How many people from competing companies do you think are now looking for a job at Chevron? It is impossible to know, but I would love to know.

Dissolving the Co into existing BUs. 20% staff reductions. But where?...

For private reasons, I’d love to quit from Chevron for a while, but I’m worried that the company wouldn’t hire me back in due course (if I wanted to come back here). Is there anyone who can give me some useful information that I should know if I... — read more 

Has anyone finished their 6 months UI and continued on in the extension territory? I guess as long as UE is high in Texas, we all get to stay on the gravy train. Would be great to have it all year. I need more toys!

Let me preface this by saying that I joined Chevron a year ago, I like my job, I enjoy doing it and I'm good at it. My biggest issue is navigating through all the politics and backstabbing. Honestly, it's exhausting and it eats up all of my energy... — read more 

Chevron shouldn’t allow anyone back in the office or work around other employees unless they’re vaccinated...And they get vaccinated every six months or as recommended by CDC or other Health Org of whatever country the employee is from. Change my... — read more 

Has anyone heard about being interviewed for the most recent hiring?? It has been roughly a month since I applied. Just curious how long it takes to hear back.

There are few things more ridiculous and time wasting than the idiotic weekly reports we have to submit. People put all sorts of nonsense on those reports. Some kiss ups think it is a good place to make it sound like important progress is occurring... — read more 

How many synergies are going to realized through layoffs?

How are opportunities looking in the DJ Basin office?

The next layoff won't be a: real "layoff, they just fire your ass, no severance. You only hear about it piecemeal and the rumor mill. Severance is reserved for the big high profile -15% reduction where they have everyone play musical chairs (Re-org)... — read more 

I got laid off in February and still haven’t found a new job. It all ended at the interview stage and a friend pointed out to me that maybe I shouldn’t mention in the interviews that I was laid off because it causes a negative perception of the... — read more 

For those remaining in ABU post your thoughts, feelings etc. Would be interested to know how people are feeling.

Chevron no longer even tries to make an effort to retain or attract talented employees. Am I wrong? It is impossible to keep quality employees if they do not feel respected and appreciated here. There is no trust. Advancement opportunities are less... — read more

Any news coming out of the Spring IT PDC?

A new article recently leaked that Chevron's most expensive platform had a major incident this week resulting in it collapsing and being thus rendered a junk asset waiting to be written down. The "IT Foundational Platform" as it was referred to, was... — read more 

Fidelity advised to put my lump sum pension in a SMA (Separately Managed Account) within my IRA account. It's a managed portfolios of actual stocks or bonds. Has anyone used it and any pros and cons.

What business problems do you encounter while working from home? Teamwork is very important to me and despite all the opportunities we have now, it is lost when we are not in the office. Working from home, we function less as a team and that makes my... — read more 

With the current pace, I am guess by June 1st there will be at least 75% allowed to come in person.

How much does your group spend on social things each year? Ours has like a few retirement lunches and aN afternoon Christmas function and that’s about it. Rather boring, I must say. I miss the old days.

The severance was an unexpected parting gift for retirees and a welcome several hundred grand for most. Will you keep it, invest or spend it? Ours is invested since November and already up 25% which nearly covers the income tax withheld. We will take... — read more

IRS segment rates shot up again. December remains as the lowest rates ever recorded, pushing lump sums to all time highs. Hope you all caught that wave.

I'm curious since we get posts from both sides of the aisle. On other companies' forums (I checked Exxon and Occidental, for example) pretty much everybody is in the miserable category. Is CVX really better than those places or is HR simply more... — read more
