The most experienced hands are being shown the door when they are needed most to guide through many changes. An arbitrary rule closed the jobs of anybody here for a year and a half or less. Almost without exception these people are adding little... — read more
No Invite? You are safe!
If you didn't get a calendar invite with your ROM rep and HR business partner for 15 minutes today, then it's safe to assume you got a job. The job owner will call you if you're in a different location or will just come grab you and talk to you if... — read more
COBRA coverage and unemployment benefits
Just want to make sure that everyone knows that they are entitled to 6 months of subsidized COBRA medical coverage, and unemployment compensation. Severance pay does not take away your right to unemployment, and getting to pay the same amount for... — read more
Adios
After 43 years in the Oil Industry I am done. My meeting is in 15 minutes. Wishing everyone the best! It has been a good ride, I have no complaints!
Still waiting to hear
I am an expat on home rotation and have not heard a thing. I suppose they don't want to call and wake me up, but there are only a couple of more hours in their work day over there. The wait is killing me, even if I am not a "Must Move".
Working for Chevron 25+ years and I am ashamed of the whole ROM/ESP process. The Chevron Way has changed. I don't know this company anymore.
The whole process was clouded with 'the good ole boys' cronie-ism. Anyone in a remote location was out of site out of mind. The people 'left standing' were some of the best employees I have encountered, but back-room deals were made. There was... — read more
Houston - The bloodletting has started
meetings rooms are booked solid all day ... black cars lined up along 1400 Smith ... good luck everyone
Thailand, the expats are walking.
Meetings have been held. Many expats, alot with experience, are told they are not selected. Commence the long march home. Good luck to the rest of you.
Meeting invite 'Attendance Required' for today
15 min meeting on 40th floor Houston with HR. I guess that means I got axed. No word from my supervisor.
Layoffs come to Bakersfield Ca
Approximately 170 employees were sent today invites for 15-20 minutes long meetings to meet HR on Thu and bring their company belongings. I bet these are EOIs and left standing ones; big axe on expats but US locals also plenty. Those lucky ones... — read more
Layoffs in Btown
Heard we get hit hard. Thanks chevron
Thanks CVX Layoff.com
Though my faith is yet to be decided, for the past weeks I knew I was not alone. Mentally I am ready for the worst. Even if I am selected to stay on, not sure I will stay very long. I realised that there is life outside work or CVX. Thanks everyone... — read more
Who will know first April 7th? Left standing or safe?
No email including meeting requests as of 7pm. Nothing clear on the website how this will be handled. Will they tell the left standing first and move on to the people who were able to land a job? Will it be the other way around? Will they mix it up?... — read more
Has anyone received notice??
I read on this site that there would be an email this afternoon if you were placed, but so far, there has been no report of that. I suppose it could mean that no one who posts here was selected, but it is unlikely.
Are layoffs going on in Houston?
Saw a bunch of security guys outside the building as I was leaving. My sister works there.
Good luck everyone
Finished packing up today. Hopefully everyone got their personal files, PMPs and personal stuff out of the office. Very much looking forward to getting tomorrow over with. This whole ROM process has been so massively stupid and half-baked that it... — read more
CVX is monitoring this board
Chevron has hired HR staff to monitor this board and spread propaganda. That's right, they've hired folks to monitor a layoff informational website while they continue to layoff workers. The Chevron Way®
The Last Day
Well, just about everyone should know their status by now, either directly or a gut feeling. What did you think as you are leaving for good or watching others leave? After staring blankly into your owrn thoughts wondering how it has all gonè so... — read more
Why no handover or handover documents
Why have the people in scope not been asked to create a list of current items being worked? . What happens with all of the work that they are currently doing? Does this just get dropped? . Why have some people been told they have to be at the office... — read more
I never been laid off before, its somewhat exciting yet sad as it will be a different routine overnight! met some good folks here.
I suppose the invite means they will tell me I've been laid off? I assumed that if I were selected they would have sent an offer letter in the email like they do during the PDC? I already know that one person has been notified and she decided to... — read more
SOCIAL SECURITY OFFSET
Iam unable to tie to the Social security offset number that Chevron has in my retirement estimator. The total amount of my career earnings from my Social Security numbers and the Chevron are very close (less than 5K difference). However, the monthly... — read more
GOM notifications today?
supposedly GOM will do their notifications today instead of tomorrow thru Monday. anyone heard anything ? waiting to see a bunch of cars outside 1400/1500 downtown Houston tomorrow and increased security presence. so far nothing out of the ordinary
Donr feel safe
Dont feel safe if you survived rhis ESP By the end of 2016 they will get rid of 90% staff the way the costs are blowing out.
Most posts on layoffs
Of all the company lay offs chevron lay off posts are the most. Why is it so? Are chevron lay offs lot more than other oil companies?
VACATION CHECK
To those who have left already, Is the vacation check separate from the severance check? Do you get them at the same time, or does the vacation check come separate? Trying to plan what and how much deductions to take from each. Thanks

I was laid off last year.

Geophysicists and Earth Scientists Layoffs
Are the geophysicists and earth scientists safe or are they at risk as well? I am relatively new to the company and am not American.
Do those selected already know?
I heard that Job offers will be extended to those selected (job owners will reach out them), on Wednesday. With that said, I'm wondering if that means; if you haven't received an offer by Wednesday, you can be certain that when you come to work on... — read more
