LinkedIn Video of Michael Wirth??

I've been asked 3 times now if I've seen the LinkedIn video of Michael Wirth. I have no idea what they are referring too. Anyone got a link?

Not enough younger people

There are still too many older people at CVX who keep holding the company back due to their outdated ideas on how things should be done. This is true from the highest level to the lowest. If we're to continue dominating the industry, we need more... — read more 

Were these the worst years ever?

I came here just before the pandemic. My question is for those who have been here for years and who have managed to build a career here: do you remember the harder and more turbulent period that this company went through?

Expat In Covid

Anyone else getting the shaft on benefits because they aren’t converting expat positions into back-to-back? Many Residential positions are no longer allowing families to return because of Covid. As a result, people are stuck in expat jobs without... — read more 

Salary transparencie

Successful companies such as Whole Foods disclose the title and pay of every single employee. Why not? Everyone should know exactly what every position pays, no? When will Chevron get there?

It was a good place to start

Despite the negative posts here I have to say that CVX is as good a place to kick start a career. I appreciate the work that at times was challenging and it further added to my skillset. I can’t say that it’s a company you can retire from because I... — read more 

CEMREC...

"It will get worse before it gets better" is what they said during the re-org. Half a year in....still not getting any better. New managers and teams selected were not the best people for the roles. Seeing a serious lack of knowledge and... — read more 

HR GMs cannot stand each other

Why can't the HR GMs work well with each other? They trash each other openly and two of them got in a heated arguement earlier this week.

Is Chevron on the right course?

Some things have changed in a very short time, the pandemic has opened up some issues and accelerated some processes. I wonder what your opinion is, is this company set on a good course, or could it be positioned much better for the future? Any... — read more 

Horizons Facility Engineer PSG

Hello, I anticipate getting an offer to start with Chevron in a month or so as a FE in their horizons program. Does anyone here have insight into the PSG and the actual starting pay I can expect? I just graduated with my bachelors in ocean... — read more 

Changes coming

To understand our future, just watch what is happening right now at Exxon with activist shareholders pushing to replace board members. Yeah sure Engine No1 is a minor shareholder but Blackrock is a major shareholder supporting the push. All driven... — read more 

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
