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 

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 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

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 

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 ?

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 .

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 

Hiring in MCBU

I was waiting in line for security last week at Midland International Air (and Space! lol) Port when I overheard two recruiters with Airswift discussing hiring they were doing for Chevron in the Permian with two other gentlemen. They seemed to imply... — 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
