Here's a link to the Australian Tax Office's latest case against Chevron on it's dodgy interest claims. Great news for the Australian tax payer. Note that She'll and Exxon have been more prudent in their loan structures and what they have claimed in... — read more
Chevron employment openings
Well, I just checked the Chevron website to see what is happening with employment openings. All of these stupid news reports about the big upswing in oil industry hiring does not feel quite right. Probably 95% or more are for field workers, not... — read more
DWEP-GOM merger
Any word in the DWEP-GOM merger?
Laid off from Chevron, would I be able to rejoin as contractor?
Would someone be able to help me answer this.
Negativity
Saw this on a different board - it's a good one... I'm always reminded of this guest lecturer I had in college. He was a buddhist monk that was giving a talk about external forces and influence. He made the point that everything outside ourselves is... — read more
There will be more employees laid off at Chevron in small numbers here and there as this downturn trough drags on.
No one who has lost their job is deluding themselves into thinking that they are content and happy. It is more that they have accepted the reality of their situation and are adjusting their lifestyles accordingly. Well, at least most people. Sure... — read more
There is a lot of grey between good and evil
" It's just the right thing to do. It's very simple"... that just about says it all. If money falls off a truck and nobody is looking do you keep it or return it to its owner. If you can shoot a person in the head and grab their money with confidence... — read more
Chevron pension annuity payment
Last month on May 31, 2017, I received my Chevron pension annuity payment. For the 24th straight month, Chevron direct deposited $8,778 in my account. Again, this is double the $4,389 amount I'm supposed to be getting. Ever since the first double... — read more
It will take Chevron a decade to recover from this Watson fiasco
Chevron has developed a Mba mindset that engineers are commodities. The brain pool that has been released is unbelievable. 35 year employees with masters from MIT, West Point graduates, engineers with multiple patents. Chevrons new mentality is to... — read more
Chevron AGM in Midland
Why was the annual general meeting held in Midland this year rather than California? Is it to do with the resolutions that were voted? (Climate change, lobbying, business in conflict prone regions, independent chairman). Or performance issues, voting... — read more
Beware. Don't click on any ads on this website!
It seems to be true. Clicking on an advertisement on this Chevron Corporation Layoff board traces your real IP address. If you are using a VPN client app to circumvent detection of your IP address, making the mistake of clicking an ad will trace your... — read more

Some Jackass is starting new threads
Some Jackass is starting new threads just to complain about others starting new threads to expand on old threads! Go figure ;-).
Some Jackass is Reposting as New Threads!
Don't reply to the clown who is copying replies within threads and creating new topics. Childish.
Watson is so far out of his depth it is beyond belief.
He has no concept of the value of technical expertise in complex projects like Gorgon & Wheatstone, so he casually reduces technical staff to "save money." I wonder how many technical experts you could employ for how many centuries with the money... — read more
The chickens are coming home to roost
The chickens are coming home to roost. But Watson will retire before the shinola hits the fan, and he'll blame it on something that was out of his control. What a joke Chevron has become.
Working Hours
Why not have a 9 hour work day M-F and have a 4 hour day every Friday? That way, everyone will come to work every day of the week and still have free time on Friday to take care of personal business. Ultimately, it is up to the managers and... — read more
Age Discrimination
I fail to see the significance of so-called "age discrimination". I am convinced that the so-called "age-discrimination" phenomenon is simply another excuse for incompetents to seek some type of retribution, and for them, it is strictly monetary and... — read more
Expression of Intetest (EOI)
I requested from my PDR (Ops Manager) interest in requesting the early retirement package. I have worked in GOMBU for 25 years. I was denied having access to the EOI because according to my PDR my job was critical to the success of our project. Many... — read more
Gorgon Shut Down (Again)
Well, it seems that the crown jewel project of Chevron is having more problems. Train 1 (aka production line 1) will be down for a month to repair a faulty valve. This won't be the last time a shutdown happens because of poor engineering, poor... — read more
Kill the 9/80 to cut cost
The 9/80 work week was great 20 years ago when it started and nobody cared about business as prices rose. But we can no longer afford it now that low prices are here to stay. It wipes out at least one work day per week, which is 20% of our... — read more
DWEP to Covington?
All consolidation was headed to Houston. I was shocked when I heard this news, being a former employee. Any truth to this?
HR Question
My position was eliminated in October 2015. I had health insurance coverage for through April 2016. Should I have received a 1095-C form to show that I had coverage? I am asking because HR said to contact Kaiser and Kaiser said to contact Chevron... — read more
San Juan?
So what is going on with San Juan ?
Create Value for Shareholders - Spin Off MCBU as a Separate Company!
Think about how much MCBU could be worth as an independent, without the burden of Chevron Management and processes. Lower drilling costs, lower opex, less red tape. Heck, it could double its Proved reserve base right away by following standard... — read more
PDC
Free at last, free at last, thank gawd almighty, free at last! No more b---s--- CSOC feedback or BBS, or ant other Corp crap .
CVX, KPMG & my crazy 2016 expat taxes. (Advice Please!)
So I just received my 2016 taxes from KPMG and a bunch of red flags got thrown up. There are some real inconsistencies with previous years and some numbers that just made me scratch my head, especially considering I only worked overseas for 4 months... — read more
Chairman's Message for April 2017
John Watson talking to Pat Yarrington and Joe Naylor - does anyone have any confidence that anyone in this San Ramon trio has a clue about the oil and gas industry? This Chairman is very out of touch and if he thinks the employees relate to Joe... — read more
Turning of the ship
As unpopular as some of executive management's post-2014 actions have been, you have to tip your hat and give them credit for an amazingly fast "turning of the ship". It has and continues to be painful in terms of the human aspect. However, this kind... — read more
No class action suit of any merit exists.
No class action suit of any merit exists. Just a bunch of butthurt loser cry-babies who don't understand the real world. The world doesn't owe you a living and Chevron or any other company doesn't owe you a job for life just because you worked there... — read more
SJVBU
Why do folks at SJVBU put up with so much abuse from management? We work so hard here and instead of recognizing this, management keeps "optimizing" and not giving any career development opportunities. I have so much respect for my colleagues and the... — read more
Earnings
Odd, decent earnings reported and the board is silent? Figured I would see a few comments the only reason for profit is that assets were sold.
PDC Question
Could someone please shed some light on the PDC process, precisely the notification part, do all applicants get notified? Or just the ones receiving offers? what about those who receive no offers, do they still get notified? Thanks
MCBU or Pittsburgh
I was layed off from Chevron just over a year and a half ago. I am in my 50's. I actually separated from Chevron to take care of my wife. She had 1 year left as her ALS was killing her. I had to focus on her and making her comfortable for end of life... — read more

Layoffs in Legal Dept
Anyone have any historical information on how often layoffs hit the Chevron legal department?
ExPats and ROMs
Lot of ExPats are getting jobs in home countries because they truly are versatile high performers. That is how they became ExPats in the first place. Being successful in ROMs and PDCs really does have a lot to do with networking, networking, and... — read more
