Heard a totally unsubstantiated rumor that JW is on his way out. Anyone hear something more substantial?

Most Oil & Gas boards on this site were fairly dormant over last six months. I've been monitoring HAL, BH, GE O&G, Conoco, etc... Over last two to three weeks all of them seem to be picking up pace, people are posting again. Are we going to see yet... — read more

Anyone know what the message will be?

Selling off CVX in entirety, either in parts or in whole, would seem to be beneficial to CVX shareholders. CVX seems to be more focused on operating assets in order to provide Executive compensation and employee pay checks. That has to change. Too... — read more

Anybody else finds it laughable that Chevron just made the list of best places to work in 2017? Not only did it make the list, but it ranked at fifteenth place out of fifty... — read more 

Look up CVX on Yahoo Finance. Display the chart for the lat 6 months. Plot a trend line. Think now where CVX could be in another 6 months. That's right... further down the abyss. Best case scenario would be just a flat line. Put your money in... — read more

Second fatality in D&C in MCBU in less than 3 months. He is wearing people out trying to make a name for himself. He is way to much in the weeds on everything plus he is trying hard to alienate the Houston and midland teams from each other. He must... — read more

College engineering graduates. Stay away from this company. You have no long term future. Engineers are at the bottom of the feed chain and you will be the first to be layed off. There are many many other companies out there that will appreciate your... — read more 

For anyone who was recently laid off: I signed all of my paperwork via DocuSign on June 3ish. It mentions a 7 day hold and then it will be paid in the following pay cycle. I still have not gotten it. How long did it take for everyone else?

Moving along, most of the shelf have been sold. Look for outlying operations to shut down, including empire terminal.

I'm struggling to follow all the details on retiree medical. Those of you who have retired, give me a clue. Let's say, hypothetically, I am 50 years old. My point situation today gives me 72 points which Chevron somehow works out to a 62% company... — read more

Just heard that the Pennsylvania assets are going to be sold. Does anyone know who is buying them? I

Why doesn't Chevron see a future in renewables? In 2014 they sold Chevron Energy Solutions to OpTerra, and they also recently divested the geothermal operations. Other large players are getting into offshore wind, why not Chevron? What comes after... — read more 

Do expats still get all those extravagant tax free alloances in this tough business environment for oil? It makes a lot of sense to cut back on those.

Everyone currently working for Chevron wants to continue working here. Why? Answer: Why not. The pay and benefits are great, practically exceptional. The job is not overly difficult. The majority of workers don't have to work weekends and holidays... — read more

I see the HES Skype tantrum party thread got removed, thanks mods. If folks on this board choose to call others out by name they should also include their name.

They don't have anything to work on. Just bleeding the company of money. Still dozens of people in it? Why?

Will there be expat opportunities for younger employees desiring career development through international experience?
