It's not the best, but it's better than many other companies. With the job market in the state it is, just having a job is a big deal. So Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Today, the last few remaining engineers in ABU IT were stood down, following the end of their transition roles. This brings to an end a horribly protracted period of uncertainty that started early in 2024 with McKinsey moving into 1TE to try and... — read more 

It’s frustrating to watch the same underperformers stay while anyone competent gets pushed out. If we actually kept our best people, constant cuts wouldn’t even be necessary.

So the only groups that get to continue working in 1:1 flex offices are the people who made the decision to turn 1500 into a watered-down version of a college library (the Implementation team) and the reorg henchmen in HR. How poetic. Because no one... — read more 

I was in MW's office and got a glimpse of his game plan going forward to grow the dividend and profits for the company. Its a truly innovative list that we should be proud of! Here is what I saw! Layoffs Make employees miserable Cut... — read more 

Chevron has delivered the worst stock performance of the year among all major oil companies. It’s obvious that Wall Street simply isn’t buying the story. No matter how desperate the ELT appears when communicating their strategy, they clearly no... — read more 

How are your implementation teams going? Talk about useless overhead. The cuts happened, reorg is done. People can figure out how to work again without you working with McKinsey on creating 1000 slides that no one will ever read again. How many... — read more 

I have it on good authority: the plan is first 4 days in unassigned seating, then 5 days. If you don't like it, you'll be asked to leave (as stated in recent townhalls)

With the appointment of a new Vice President of Exploration, who joins us from Total, Chevron’s exploration organization is entering a period of significant transition. Nearly all leadership groups — including ERT, Exploration Excellence, GOA, New... — read more 

“Many of you have embraced this approach.” Wtf they’re insane that’s like saying MW cured cancer. Rubbish. name one fool who embraces it

Is anyone in the company in an area where there isn't chaos and lack of planning? This re-org has been terrible. There is no way MW should still be CEO

Former Hessie in transitional role. It's been 7 weeks and we are abandoned in the Hess building incommunicado. Not a one of us has been contacted by our new CVX managers. Logging on while collecting a paycheck just in case. 👀 I spoke with some CVX... — read more 

That was fast. On another note, I can’t believe we paid over $3B for that business. It’s probably worth $500mm at most.

Google “Chevron Benefits” and navigate to the India section. You’ll see that employees there are offered the option to work from home on Mondays. When you compare this to the far more limited flexibility given to U.S. Payroll employees, it paints a... — read more 

how many times will LC say AI. Drinking game!

If you are working hard for this company, dont. They dont deserve any of our efforts or loyalty. They have to be the most hated group of "leaders" in Chevron history and might rank up there on most hated in US history. They single handedly took a... — read more 

Only 6 more weeks until 4x days WFO. I can't wait for us all to get back to the office - we are better together. This will make us beat Exxon for sure

After how everything was handled during layoffs, I spent every available minute looking for something else. After they kept us in the dark and acted like we were disposable, I knew my time here was done. Now I can finally move on and I’m not going to... — read more 

I’ve heard notifications are going out to folks. Some of my colleagues have gotten an e-mail with a 9/1/26 date to be fully moved to Houston. I haven’t received anything yet. Have you?

Chevron has appointed a new Vice President of Exploration, bringing proven success from outside the company. This is a welcome change, as the performance of most current exploration managers has been consistently poor. Teams such as ERT, Excellence... — read more 

I just found out that the cost for my mental health visits will double in 2026. WTF is the ELT thinking by slashing mental health benefits, especially at a time that employees need this most? MW and the rest of them will have bl00d on their hands if... — read more 

I was today years old when I learned there is such a thing as a layoff merch industry, and it's thriving. What the he-l? Why are people selling layoff shirts, jerseys, cups, and whatnot, and more importantly, why are people buying it? Somebody make... — read more 

hi, if by 11/7/2025 pay, I have reached the IRS limit of total gross income (base + bonus) and the limit for total contributions (before and after-tax from employee and chevron match), what else can I do now to continue receiving chevron's 8% match... — read more

Apache may get 19 billion dollars of assets for a mere handshake 🤝 they only have $350mm cash…and stock is a dumpster fire. How will this affect employees and jobs? Let’s convince MW to intervene

I’m going to leave next year regardless once my CIP hits. Is there a way to EOI so I get severance? What if I just stop working? Will I get severance for involuntary termination? Between a prorated CIP, Cobra, and severance it could be worth over... — read more 

Is this attainable given top line decline rates are 9% MW is promising something like 12% production increases per year to account for production declines and well failures. Is this doable or will more companies need to be purchased? Possibly a... — read more 

We are guiding for an additional billion in cost savings and EB said on the call it would come from the same structural changes (headcount) as the billion we hit this year. Exciting times!

Just curious.... What's your current retirement. I'm 50 and my 401k + Pension combined is $2M.... 18 years with CVX I would like to obtain more benchmarks. Feel free to share. TY

Spill the beans! What’s the new process going to look like?

This centralization will eventually fail. The centralized teams aren’t built from the BUs, and most of the people there lack the capability and experience to understand how things actually get executed in a business unit — let alone run a business... — read more

New restructure key goal: Mentor ENGINE resources and get laid off! Thanks Uncle Chevron!
