Good luck getting employment
Well I was lucky. I started looking for a job last spring and got one in late fall, outside of O&G. I was with Chevron for 4 years (worst company I have been apart of) and 8 years with a service company. The other half of my career was diverse... — read more
Expats. Are they sending them all home?
Why is CNAEP bringing home 1,500 ex pats. Are all of the expats currently in DWEP, SJVBU, GOMBU, CBU and MCBU going to be sent home so that we can make room for the return US payroll folks?
A question in Fixed term contract
When should we expect the contract to be renewed if contract end date is June 2016. Do HR give advise the timing. So far they dont give any advice.
ABU Perth Layoffs
1) Does anyone have any updates on ABU layoffs? We aren't impacted by the US ROMs (Alpha/Beta) but what does Roy have planned for us? 2) I'm a 12 year employee in the ABU IT department. An RFP has been sent out to outsource the majority of the IS /... — read more

HPD in the house.
Uniformed HPD has been stationed in the downtown Houston offices since Wednesday. Just 2 or 3 guys hanging around the sky ring. I thought they were just here for Watson, but they are still here today. Not escorting people out or anything, but... — read more

Anyone else having problems collecting unemployment?
My state shows no record of unemployment being paid by Chevron for me. Been contacting HR for help for weeks now and keep getting run around of proof where it's at.
The Godfather
Where did The Godfather land? I did not see him on the ROM 1 Leadership list or the Leadership Retiree list.
Watson's State of the Company Townhall
So the numbers are in. About 3500 layoffs last year and currently about 4,000 in progress. He did not show the number of contractors. The most vague slide was the Horizon's slide. Not much detail on what made up that chart. I would like to see what... — read more
Estimated last day if left standing after ESP?
Will that be April 1 or April 15 or some other date? Could anyone who has gone through the process chip in?
Chevron considering capping severence to 26 weeks.
Nice kick in the balls as the kick our ass out the door.
So Watson quickly dropped a bomb about a salary freeze and quickly continued his speech...
But what does that mean? I'm assuming the PSGs will remain flat for 2016 but we will still receive merit increases based on rankings. That is what Shellenbarger seem to imply when he visited SJVBU. And yes, I'm assuming on still on the payroll April... — read more
CIP bonus for 2015 RAE/ROM ex-employees?
Will the folks that got the axed in 2015 get the CIP bonus? While doing the exit paper work with HR I thought I was told that we would qualify for it! Has anyone else hear this?
The problem with IT in chevron specifically within MCBU
I know we are an engineering company and by and large the business side is being hit hard by the impending layoffs. From an IT standpoint, this company is a joke. It takes far too long to run through the precious CPMS processes to garner any value... — read more
All blue badges will be green badges in 2016!!!

2016 Oil and Gas Layoffs

The Petrotech bonus is likely to disappear
The Petrotech bonus is likely to disappear too - currently at 8% per paycheck. Laying off people shouldn't require an 8% bonus to keep them, so that is likely to go. Yes, corporate is 0.8.
Chevron Indonesia closing down?
Is Chevron Indonesia closing down? People are freaked out, rumors are flying, who knows more about this?
2015 CIP???
Anyone have news update about this? It was supposedly announced today.
When will Oil and Gas recovery happen?
Remember, they do not ring bells at tops and bottoms. The recovery will start once every single us us here has capitulated. Once even the most convinced believers accept the capitulation and once you start hearing things like 'it'll never go back'... — read more
Is COED (customer order entry and dispatch) still around?

Townhall drinking game rules
Just start drinking and don't stop. I've heard HR will be checking for hidden bottles at the door. If you don't have one, you'll be given one. “Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.” ― Ernest... — read more
Dependent Care Spending Account (DCSA) not qualified by IRS
Chevron just sent an e-mail to all participants of the Dependent Care Spending Account (DCSA) the the plan was not qualified by the IRS for 2015, presumably because too many highly compensated employees participated. The issue is that now the pre-tax... — read more

ITC Still Screwed up
So when are they going to run off CIO Bill and most of those over paid GM's. I do not have faith in any of them anymore. They have made one bad decision after another with Chevron's money. Louie's wasted money on the Data cneter that is so over... — read more
HR Clueless
