After being laid off as a result of EOI can you come back as a contractor and continue to work for Chevron?

Just curious how it works if we receive notification that we are left standing after the last round in October. Do we get paid through the 60 day review period then receive severance?

My strategy is to EOI in round 4. If I wait until the last minute (October 11) to announce my intentions, will I be notified with the rest of round 4 participants that my EOI was accepted? It looks like the 60 day period to accept the severance... — read more 

Out of 12 direct reports: 9 white males 2 white females (one of them is an admin asst) 1 black female (Human Resources, of course) Will there be an article bragging about this diversity coming out soon?

Corporate restructuring is expensive. Those who are laid-off in the energy patch often get generous severance packages, pension payouts and job placement services. That costs the company big money. Productivity usually drops off a cliff during... — read more 

Invest and begin withdrawals, invest and hold until RMDs start, pay off bills, buy a house, or????

Looks like we're in historical low pension segment rates. Novermber/December should be a great time for taking lump sum pension

They are cutting 25% of their employees, 21,000 jobs.

A quick look at the numbers after R2 selection event. Using round number of 200 R2 positions before and 160 after, a 20% reduction. Before Total positions - 200 Men - 160 (80%), Women - 40 (20%) W - 150 (75%) A - 26 (13%) L - 12 (6%) B -... — read more 

I stay dumbfounded as to why employees of a company complain too much about said company. CVX has good salaries (not the top), great 401, great pension (good luck getting one with another company). If you are unhappy why not just leave? You don’t... — read more 

Why is Chevron going through a restructure? I hear they have the best additive company in the business? I also hear they have the best field testing team in the country? I just don't understand.

Chevron D&C Ex, here. I left a year ago as a high pot. No, not to join a "startup." I did not leave because I felt management was out of touch and cared about the wrong things. I left because I saw all of my peers care more about doing things and... — read more

I am not sure of the exact name, but I plan to join the Chevron Retirees group when I retire this year if my EOI is accepted. Does anyone have experiences with the group they would like to share? Do you get much benefit, other than connecting with... — read more 

So many negative posts about Chevron and all for the right reasons. Besides the fake news lets just be honest once and say it the way it is. Is Chevron trull a eFed up company as it looks here? I think it is, but I wanted to hear it from others.

So after this email from RM about the diversity metrics, I can’t wait to see what happens in my selection round. I’m thrilled we have the diversity coaches here to ensure we don’t just pick the most qualified person for the job, regardless of... — read more 

I don’t know about your area, but from what I could see Round 2 was a bust. The same old faces, including mostly mentally unstable old white guys along with a smattering of truly whacked white women. All the losers people expected to retire lost... — read more

Anyone hear about round 3 results? Was it the same chaos as round 2?

/noble-energy or thelayoff.com/noble-energy it's lively over there

Not directly layoff related but only to make the point how CVX is not great at being digital...question is why is skype still up and working like normal after making such a big deal of it going away?

Since the "Transformation" is going so well, might as well through a wrench into things by making an acquisition at the same time.

more and more posts here every day of people complaining about things that are no different than in any other company. yes, we have layoffs. imagine that, a company laying off people in the middle of a crisis to save money. it's unheard of... — read more 

It seems that Chevron is taking months and months to put together a layoff plan and then months and months more to follow through. At least everyone is getting a few extra pay checks.

I resigned voluntarily last to join another company without retiring or giving EOI, but I worked past April of this year. Anyone know the official say in this?

Curious if anyone has received their benefit yet (Severance) and how long process took to get cash? All I have is "one week after final date you get email, you respond, we hold for 7 days, then payment made when prudent"...Thanks.

With renewables and electric car growth will chevron still be around in 3 decades? If not then EOI looks more attractive. What do you think?
