Global says the US cuts will be 30% across the board in Wells. Anyone have the percentages for each BU? CTC (UC & ETC), MCBU, SJV, GOM, TCO, SASBU?

I read that XOM is suspending their 7% match starting in October. Odds Chevron does something similar? An 8% paycut would hurt.

Lets just replace all IT and functional Digital Advisors with Amazon's Alexa. Alexa please write a machine learning program to produce more oil from Tengiz, drill faster wells in Mid-Con, and also let me know when I am running out of underwear. — read more

Will they write in candidates for weak slates and for folks left standing (that may be the best candidate)?

Layoffs are not unusual, consequences of bad economic climate, decline in business etc Using layoffs to adjust demographic ratios is not usual or right either For some to win (increase in representation), some have to lose (decrease in... — read more 

I left in 1Q2020 knowing that cuts were coming in 2020. At the time, Wirth, the GMs and the sponsors were planning for a 10-15% reduction, upstream Opcos consolidation based on asset class, and a retooled ETC. I could not justify staying as CVX was... — read more 

Just checked my EOI for R3, and the severance payout date is very tight to push until 2021. Beside playing with date of submission during the 60 days of signing the release, is there any other options to delay the process?

Met with a job owner recently and he kept talking about how this was an optional round for me. I have the right skillset, high scores, and am well regarded. Worried they’re going to pass me over because I have another chance (in theory). Any... — read more

What was the point? All I heard was BS. Just repeating same buzz words with no clear path forward, is the BS ing the pass forward to get promotion? It was total waste of time to listen to those clowns!

Can anyone share the standard salary range or a C.O. of 100% at each PSG level (U.S. based)?

I’m on a team that’s being cut by 20%. We have a couple of late 50s early 60s folks. Still trying to figure out why they don’t want to EOI. They’re already millionaires and have grown kids out of college. No plans to work more than a few more years... — read more

There is a rumor that the company is rushing us to complete this TPS EFI this year as soon as possible so they can achieve "optimization" within the eventual support of this on Chevron's cloud. However, anytime management says "optimization" it... — read more 

Just wondering what you guys think is the most stable part (less frequent layoffs) of a company at a major oil and gas company- Shell, Exxon, Chevron, BP Etc

Hello. Apologies if already discussed. Will ETC layoffs typically happen throughout the selection events? Or will it all wait until Oct 1?

Asset portfolio is determined by our execs. Value efficiency is determined by our execs. If Chevron has declined in value generation over the last decade then the problem is not lack of leadership, effort or skills at the front line level, But it is... — read more 

JJ and his people are all talking about it like it’s going to magically fix the dramatically poor management we have had through the years. Can someone explain to me how this is going to fix anything?

Is there a non-compete clause in the severance?

I took early EOI and my last day on the payroll was 7/10. I haven't received my Cobra paperwork yet. I believe they have 44 days to send it. Any others out there in the same boat?

How many has this been since 2013? Seems like they just cannot figure out the "right size" organization you hear them say every time they have a layoff.

Appreciate any input on the difference in our tax implications for severance payout in 2020 versus 2021. Why CVX push for severance payout in 2020 instead of 2021?

Or will we be like Google and be remote until at least summer 2021?

So glade we are saving some contractor while we lay-off employees who have sacrificed so much to be loyal to this company.
