HAVE ANY OF THE FOLKS WHO WERE LEFT STANDING LAST YEAR AS PART OF THE ROM RECEIVED YOUR CIP PAYMENT ?.
Project manager who blew 100 million
How in the world does a Project Manager who blew over one hundred million dollars on a project still have a job at Chevron. This bozo lied about the status of the project and gave -2 scores to anybody who told him the project was going to fail. What... — read more
Peter principle at chevron
Sounds familiar? Rather than seeking to promote a talented "super-competent" junior employee, Peter suggested that an incompetent manager may set them up to fail or dismiss them because they are likely to "violate the first commandment of... — read more
Time to get medieval
It's time to bring justice to the bureaucratic middle management bureaucrats who have worked so hard to reward their useless pets while stiffing the people who actually do the work. Behind closed doors they are looking at ways to stiff you and... — read more
GATOR IS DEAD!
With great wisdom the leadership team of GOM has killed GATOR. Those insulated in the golden towers so easily forget the blood and lives that caused the need for this. Blood will flow in GOM, lives will be lost, and somehow Chevron will explain away... — read more
Chevron Warn Notice
Why would Chevron have activated the warn notice for Louisiana and not forTexas?
How does one know if they are "Deadwood"?
If you listen to some here, simply being in scope means that you are deadwood, but I think it takes a poor thought process to come to that conclusion. Are you exempt from being deadwood if you are rated a 1? How about a +2? Perhaps we will not know... — read more
In Scope 1's
I've heard of a few people that were ranked a 1 for last year yet they were notified that they are in scope... Doesn't that seem like an oxymoron? With a 1 ranking, shouldn't these individuals have a positive attitude going into the ESP? Or should... — read more

Cox Coverup
The Cox Project is a coverup for a real project, Project Procyon, that Chevron has been working on involving Interstellar Travel. They have built new facilities on the gulf coast, Covington, and Australia that when triangulated will allow teams of... — read more
The Oil Buisness
The oil business has always had up, then down cycles. During the down cycles people get laid off - a fact. If your lucky enough to stay with Chevron for 20, or 30 years this won't be the last down turn you see. If this volatility is too much for your... — read more
GOM SUPPLY CHAIN GOLF OUTING
I wonder who's giving GC and SM another free golf outing today? DNOW, CRAIG, or REDMAN I'm sure it's one of them.
Severance question. Does time spent at CalTex count toward severance calculation?
The benefits page does not count the time with Caltex or before in their calculation. Is this correct? It doesn't seem fair.Any help appreciated, Trying to plan for the worst.
Reorg
I am fortunate enough to be in a closed job for this ESP. I am also looking ahead and understanding that there will be a major Reorg coming in late 16 or 17. Please be mindful of the gossip that is spread this year, could come back and haunt you... — read more
GOM Sell
Tuesday has come and gone. Where's the person who said the deal was to be completed yesterday? Hahaha, that's what I thought. Keep WD, MP and VK flowing. Because it's still for Chevron.
Background Check Inquiries?
Is anyone familiar with how background checks work when finding a new job, going back to schools, etc.? Do they usually contact corporate HR? BU HR Partner? Supervisor? I am taking this industry downward cycle to go back for my Master's. I have been... — read more
Superstore Cloud 9 Manager "Glenn" Has a Lot in Common w/Chevron Leadership
Glenn's behavior on Superstore is an exacerbated version of many Chevron leaders - so incompetent - extremely hard to believe unless you've worked there before. Since I feel this way, why don't I leave? I did leave Superstore (Chevron), and I have... — read more
Greetings fellow ROMulans
How is everyone on this fine Chevron day? I have decided to start calling us ROMulans and see if the name sticks. What do you think? ROMulans from the Enterprise. We could have some fun with this. At the very least, it is better than Deadwood. I... — read more

Is that right? If the current ESP is for 4K to be cut, How many will be laid off after this ESP in April? What some are referring to as Alpha2.
Getting out of oil and gas
How many of you are planning to leave the oil/gas industry to find a position doing what you're doing now in the medical sector? Any information technology folks planning to leave for the IT positions in major hospitals around Houston?
So where did profits go?
so what about all the profits from the years where they were killing it and oil prices from 90-110 bucks? did they just blow it? there is no reason to layoff that many people
ES job numbers for ESP?
Have any BUs been told their job counts that are going into ESP yet? I'm wondering how many jobs will be available in US based BUs like DWEP, Midcon, AMBU, GOMBU, San Joaquin Valley. We are getting no info, just to wait for March 7 postings.
PMP ranking
Were 2-' s given this year. If not 2's will also have to go in this ROM.
Bonus check
Which payroll check can we expect to receive our bonus, sometime in March?
Have surgery while employed, or wait until after ESP
I have had a surgery scheduled for mid-April, and it has been scheduled for almost 6 months. The recuperation time is expected to be 3-6 months, and I do not know if I should postpone it until after the ESP results are in and I either have a job, or... — read more
We are not deadwood!!
I would just like to tell the people who are involved in ESP that you are not deadwood, as some sick individuals on this site say. We are in the midst of an oil price crisis and cuts need to be made. This is not our fault, and those who seek to... — read more
Does the Chevron severance plan restrict former employees from posting on this web site?
When I was laid off from a former employer several years ago, there was a clause in the severance package restricting former employees from saying "bad things" about the former company and also contacting employed managers. Does anyone know if the... — read more
Price in the 30s will prevail at least 5 more years. Chevron has bet the entire operation on the hope that things turn much sooner.
Chevron cannot outlast this storm paying the dividend. Even not paying the dividend, we are vulnerable. Nthe Moody's downgrade is only a sign of things to come. When we are unable to divest assets, the pressure inreases. The divestmest goal of... — read more
GOM SUPPLY CHAIN
Supply Chain should continue to outsource all of its procurement to Manila. Send all of the "Entitled One's", packing and see if any can find a job elsewhere!!
What the hell is up with the cubicle hats?
I've noticed a few on the tops of cubicles in 1600 & 1500. Yeah, I know an individual may have an extream sensitivity to crappy fluorescent lighting, but have you stopped to considered how it looks to have one of those on top of your cube. As far as... — read more

Are merit increases a sign of safety?
Would a merit increase also indicate safety in the upcoming ROM?
Did anyone get a merit raise?
Just wondering if anyone got a merit raise. I haven't had my meeting yet, but so far I haven't heard of anyone else getting a raise. Of course, a 0% raise sure beats unemployment.
