...Pressured by the prolonged swoon in oil prices cutting into profitability, the San Ramon, Calif.-based company has looked to cut costs. Chevron has said it would cut about 8,000 jobs—up to 12% of its workforce—and slash billions of dollars from... — read more 

What to expect? Hopefully no more layoffs for this year.

I guess the key is to be able to say down the road we increased the dividend every year, even if the whole company needs to be burned in the boiler to make this stream. Hummmm ... Let me guess what metric defines top level management bonuses.

I was let go in July. I got a better job last week by downplaying CVX experience. I told the interviwer CVX is a crap company who let go good pople. I also said CVX is soon going to be in big mess as it invested in major projects assuming $90 price... — read more

What the hell am I missing? Charging $21 at the office for a flu shot!? We can go to a free clinic, or a retail clinic for $9 or free with insurance. Chevron should expect high absences due to flu this year. This is beyond ridiculous.

I work with CVX from time to time on onshore and offshore JOA issues. That land department is a clown show and has been for years. Some of these people have been around since the dark ages and have no idea what they are doing or any concept of Ops... — read more 

Chevron needs to get to that $10B in asset sale for 2017 to maintain its dividend. Where do we stand now?

Well, the price of oil is up to $51.74 today. Just think, if all of the MCP's, especially Gorgon/Wheatstone, had not been so screwed up by Chevron management, many people would not have been laid off. The Permian basin is projected to produce over 2... — read more

Next round of lay offs round the corner. Get ready to leave in style from an abysmal company.

This guy is gone because of bad PR - blaming the regular employees and holding the management innocent of wrong doing. How long before JW kicks him off the Chevron board? Who will replace him?
