Feedback rich culture
So has anyone else figured this feedback rich culture out yet? You have to ask all the people you work with for feedback then the TL use that for your feedback. Do we get to give feedback to the TL. No “well unless it’s good feedback” and if you... — read more

Is there any point dialing into the ImagineIT information session?
I'm always hoping we get some actual information. But then it's instant regret when I hear the line "we are making good progress on shaping curves" and followed by the CIO saying 100 words per minute about nothing.
Triple Crown
I'm hearing about a new effort called Triple Crown that ETC is pushing, and it sounds like a mess. Will anything good come of this?
Chevron has more posts on poor management, diversity and age Issues then other oil company layoff sites. Why?
All of these issues come into play in the layoff process.
Is this normal supervisor behavior?
My boss reschedules my 1 on 1 ‘s regularly, has very minimal feedback for me, and never asks in depth questions about what I’m doing. Goes purely based off what is on my workday goals and what a few people tell him. Every time I reach out it feels... — read more

I don’t know about you, but it feels like workplace morale is gone. Bosses and leadership try to be positive but we all see right through it. I’m ready for EOI now, don’t drag it out, let’s just get on with it.
Round 2 is a mess
Word on the street is that Round 2 is a mess. They started at PSG 30 but leaders couldn’t agree on who got the job and who got whacked. They finally compromise by giving some of them PSG 29 jobs. This made things worse at that grade, so a bunch of... — read more

Are employees who EOI required to post for jobs?
I am strongly considering EOI. Am I required to post for jobs if I EOI? Assuming I don’t have to post but the company does not accept my EOI, then am I at risk of being placed in a job that I did not want nor post?
Are future leaders told they have been identified?

Revising the criteria for coming back to the office.. hmm
Did anyone notice they revised the criteria and removed the requirement to have a decline in positive tests? Now it’s in a more vague category. I wonder if this means they’re gonna go forward with stage 3 even with an increase in positive cases... — read more

Most of the jobs are for finance, supply chain, bus.&commercial, IT, etc. i thought we were an oil company managing and developing 3 million boepd?
Just hire the most qualified regardless of age, s-x and race.
This is how our execs and managers got to where they are. If not, then their jobs should be re-posted. The company has already been rocketing less qualified persons into high level positions that they are not ready for. Chevron people are smart. Do... — read more
