Just heard from my supervisor that #ImagineIT will be slashing closer to 40% of us Blue Badges in ITC and across the function, despite indication it would be between 20-30% range, clearly management is not being transparent and is avoiding the topic... — read more 

Who will win this battle? Colin for most qualified gets the job or Mike for women first, qualifications second. Basically, selections based on qualifications or gender. I want to hear your thoughts.

Sounds like that timeline for the very few returning June 15th has been set aside with no mention of when to expect that first trickle back. I’m thinking it won’t be until after Labor Day or 2021 befor the entire workforce returns, depending on the... — read more 

More than 100k oil and gas jobs lost in the U.S. (-45k in Texas) ⁦ @RystadEnergy⁩ says. It expects a wage decline of at least 8-10% going into 2021. Here’s a completely empty man camp in South Texas last month... — read more 

I agree. Finally, we have a leader that stands up for a single system of selecting the best personnel for jobs. I sat in a meeting with Mike and Colin several years ago where Mike had invited the ex-CEO of Boeing, Dennis Muilenburg to come and... — read more 

Interesting to learn that we keep a significant amount of expats in FGP even after they failed to place the project back on track. Let’s put a metric in place: Expat cost vs. Cost baseline improvement or Schedule improvement. AIR, Supply Chain... — read more 

The first time I was laid off I worked nonstop to get a new job and worried it to distraction. I landed a new position after 9 months. The second time I was laid off I had more in the bank, kids were mostly grown, and I just went fishing. I landed a... — read more 

Does anyone know if they made a decision on Operations & maintenance?

Colin, Thank you for speaking the truth of something I have being saying for years. Diversity can not be a selection criteria. If you use diversity as a selection criteria, you are discriminating. I know you are getting some heat from your... — read more 

I think everyone on the call heard the same thing I heard. Selecting someone for diversity is discrimination. It was said loud and clear. I am not sure why Chevron had that article pulled. It should be an open discussion and if discrimination is... — read more 

Execs first brought this topic up in their videos yesterday as it will affect the selection process during the layoffs. Its a layoff topic. Its a healthy transparent discussion. Let the post run its course.

I recently joined Chevron as a Software Engineer, during the first Townhall I attended, they were talking about a reorg. Now, I'm very paranoid because I haven't proven anything yet in Chevron since I'm new. I was wondering if new hires are affected... — read more 

First full-time job out of college and the first conversation with my new manager I get the lay-off warning. Is there peace of mind working in the oil industry?

Leadership. Can you please tone down your excitement for the transformation? I’ve heard the word excited multiple times in several update calls. We know you are safe but we are not. Please keep telling us the discriminatory practices that will be... — read more 

I thought this was pretty fun - apparently there is a long lost refinery game made for Chevron by the creator of the Sims. Enjoy! https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/k7qwka/sim-refinery-playable-long-lost-maxis-business-simulation

Does anyone know what our Contractor to Employee ratio is. I know at one time, last ROM we were very low but I did see some admin and some technical staff contractors. With that said we have been increasing the amount of green badges. Not sure what... — read more 

I’m considering EOI after being with the company close to a decade. Without going into the reasons, I’ll like to know: Will I qualify for unemployment if I take EOI? I am in CA. Is EOI considered a self / voluntary action, like quitting? The... — read more 

Mike laid out the case for transformational change 2 years ago. He was right then-and now the whole industry/ global economy/social setting has imploded as well. Let's gave an adult conversion. Why do you think the change has been so limited???

What is a fair severance package during layoffs? 1mon/yr? 2-3wk/yr? I have 10 years of service. I am considering leaving industry.

Why do we still have a Management sponsor over age 60 with his little band of favorites dispersed over he world.? Shouldn't we be looking for more creativity and connection with what is needed for real transformation?

despite given many opportunities and recommendations for reading on diversity, they have not had energy to do so

"yeah, all that talk about D&I, just kidding, it doesn't apply to PSG 26+" (i.e., when the stock options kick in) "I believe that good things happen to good people." Therefore, you must be a bad person if something bad happens in your life... — read more 

Wonder how or if recent events in the US (BLM and such) will impact Selections. Talk about a no-win situation for the selection team members! If a large portion of minorities is selected, reverse discrimination claims and if a large portion of... — read more 

Why is Chevron’s executive stance so weak? Are they scared some of those racist employees will EOI?

Keep or Not to Keep & cost to keep?

Why is the ITC accelerated EOI percentage a “secret”? In his townhall, JG said it was 5% for all of TPS, but during BB’s ITC townhall this morning, the ITC HR rep would not share what percentage of ITC people chose EOI.

You should ask yourself, with every decision you make, is this good for the company? Am I helping with the company's strategic vision?

For those high psgs?

What is the point of working in TPS as an SME? The business units think you’re useless and the management cuts you first and most. If I survive this, I’m going to try to move to a BU. Lower rate of cuts and more perceived value to the company.

Any news on when and how many ABU redundancies will be?

Why are all of the comments about TPS layoffs and leadership being removed? Are TPS employees lurking on here? Can’t the “leadership” take any honest criticism?

I swear does this lady ever work? Take a look at the FE Function page and almost every post is hers. She must get paid per post. Geez lady take a break from work social media and actually contribute to getting an oil out of the ground.

If we're going to have major layoffs, can the higher-ups for once get rid of the right people? The ones who barely do anything day in, day out and yet somehow always manage to avoid being laid off? We could actually use some trimming of the fat... — read more 

I personally would without thinking.

It irritates me when the senior leaders at Chevron talk about how difficult it is for them to reduce headcount and deliver the hard messages and yet we all know that they will be keeping their own jobs. Enhanced severance is nice and all but why... — read more 

How is the layoff conducted? 1 on 1 with th emanager? With HR? Is it scripted? Can you talk, discuss? Phone call vs in-person?
