So, I check this place out this morning and notice several posts are gone (again). Some of them were the usual humorous nonsense. There are others much more critical that are still here. What's up with that? Just let the laid off people blow off some... — read more

The future of Oil
While oil industry people have been fast asleep to the changes going on in the world, not even seeing the biggest oil crash coming, here is what is going on. For decades we've heard that renewable energy was the future, and oil industry people... — read more

2017 Spring PDC 1H
Looks like there are close to 1000 jobs posted to date....any idea as to how those jobs will get filled? Are there jobs available to every person that is coming back from a rotational gig in "must move" positions? Or will this be another ROM in a... — read more

SOTU and Chevron
I watched the SOTU address last night and thought to myself, what if JW could give a company town hall speech like that, only just focused on Chevron. Then I snapped back to reality and realized that JW only cares about dividends for investors and... — read more
2017 LTIP - not feeling incentivized
What's with the changes to LTIP program this year? Seems like in the good old days we got heaps of shares. No so much anymore. Not much incentive, really. Management seems more likely to go after short term actions which can impact the annual IP... — read more
eSAN
A legitimate effort at improved efficiency and cost reduction via streamlined information transfer or a means of team leads to recuse themselves from face-to-face provision of artificially low ratings?
Seeking input on experience using STEP for low PMP rating.
After perhaps my best year ever, my supervisor advised me I'm rated a 2- for 2016. I am gobsmacked! Supervisor I reiterated that that puts me in the lowest 10 to 15% of all performers in my company. The rationale provided was flimsy so I called the... — read more
Tahiti Vertical Expansion (TVEX)
Anyone has more info on TVEX? Just curious, been out of the loop for a while now. No need to post sensitive or confidential data, just chime in if you have general info on TVEX.
Project Delta
What is your general feeling on project Delta? I have worked for Chevron for 5 yeas now. Only once did I try and get a new job through the PDC, however, I was told that I was unsuccessful because there was someone coming back from overseas and they... — read more
CVX lump sum discount rates continue to rise
I heeded the advise I read on this board back in November and cashed out my pension lump sum in December. If anyone still has not acted you should. The most recent January 2017 IRS segment rates published February 16 leveled off from December but the... — read more

Guidance on PDC success
I was one of the employees left standing after the ROM last year. Was fortunate enough to get a long transition period and have been unsuccessful in the fall PDC (maybe due to the time I had) vs the "must moves". In the off-cycle postings, I've been... — read more
Great message board, Chevron.
Really entertaining seeing what Chevron employees and their work environment is like through this message board. No other E&P major has a board like this one on layoff.com which tells you a big fact, not even close in terms of showing the quality of... — read more
13,000 people reduction by 2019?
Heard that 13,000 will be reduced by 2019. Anyone else hear this?
Chemical EOR was not economic even when we had $90+ oil price.
I'd be interested to see the achievements of that unit over the past 10 years... they have spent and charged the BUs millions of dollars without a single successful project. They're all better off if they go back to UT and work under that same... — read more
Expats
What is the story with expats? Does Chevron still employ a lot of expats in various countries paying the all those egregious premiums and innumerable allowances? Doesn't make sense when it is making so little money hardly even enough to cover the... — read more
