Or did they learn their lesson from the R2 communication that used diversity as a way to spin layoffs?
Notification and Redeployment at 911
Not sure who in CVX made that decision, but this is a terrible date to change or end someone's career. Well, probably nobody will notice or care anymore
Workplace
Who has time to keep posting on workplace? Some people on there seem to have no clue of reality in the business units- too many posts are so happy and optimistic.

Things have changed here

Chevron is doing FAKE Agile, botching SAFe -- prove me wrong
First of all, I don't believe SAFe is actually agile at all. There are some good things with the framework, but as usual, Chevron screwed it up and allowed that growth mindset of not just IT, but also of our key CTC VPs to also scale uncontrollably... — read more

Increasing Workloads
Why is management continuing to increase work loads during a pandemic and a layoff? Its obvious that upper management doesn't care about their employees even though they keep preaching to take care of yourself and our health is the #1 priority.
Anyone in R3 received any communication?
Anyone in R3 received any feedback or communication such as consideration for other jobs, selection confirmation, etc?
