After a layoff event people used to take breather and relax, not with this latest one. Feels like hunger games have already started. It must be about the hiring in ENGINE and Buenos Aires.

So what’s everyone doing this weekend to soften the tension? I drove 4 hours for a car show and really tested the abilities of my 72 Triumph TR6 on the highway. Guess what? We aren’t dead yet. Maybe some warhammering Sunday night after I get... — read more 

Quote below not mine. Elevating from another poster. MW, your money can never make you sleep soundly. Know that you garner zero respect from us. And you don’t have the guts to accept any criticism. “For me, the turning point was when the CEO openly... — read more

We are all highly compensated. Do not let lifestyle creep affect you. I've been able to support a spouse that doesn't work and two kids off of my salary. At the same time, I've maxed out the 401k, IRAs and saved a full year of expenses. Do the... — read more 

At Chevron, the HSE department is less of a safety net and more of a loosely tied hammock made of red tape and bad decisions. If common sense were PPE, they'd be working barefoot on a rig made of matches. Their idea of a safety meeting is a coffee... — read more 

So WORTHLESS and his merry band of BOD’s are scheduled to visit Pascagoula next week. Is this where he will announce his retirement and EB named as his replacement? How much do these little trips cost the company? Doesn’t matter because they are... — read more

I am based in Houston and my entire team has been replaced with employees in Buenos Aires and Manila. Does anyone have advice or strategies on maximizing the benefits of in-person collaboration the upcoming RTO changes will offer? /s

The stricter RTO is just part of it. Eternal reorganization, months of uncertainty about what’s coming for each of us - that’s another layer. Teams are in chaos, handling workloads meant for far more people. Managers seem completely oblivious to... — read more

September 18, 2025 A Sincere Letter to Our Valued Team, I am writing to you today with a heavy heart and a clear mind. As many of you know, I've always been a champion of efficiency, of "right-sizing" our corporate structure, and of what I've often... — read more

Unlike most folks here, I liked working at Chevron. Good people, good pay, interesting work… I’m considered a high performer…but I’m so burnt out I don’t know what to do. I’ve been working basically 2 jobs for the last 3 years. I’ve reached the point... — read more 

Chevron has become such a benchmarking company and focused on following others that it seems to have forgotten how to think for itself. Now we’re adopting this outdated ‘hoteling’ concept, where desks are unassigned and there’s less workspace than... — read more 

I hate stock buybacks. I think they are a sign that management has no idea what to do with their hard earned cash flow. In Chevron's case, cash flow created by prior leadership. I get the argument that if you can get a higher return from stock... — read more 

When will we be rid of the worst leadership is company history? I know the board of directors have no brains at all for keeping this clown car of a ELT team we have. Whoever decided MW was the best choice for CEO should be absolutely embarrassed... — read more

For those of you going through Wave 2: It’s been just over two months since I escaped, and even though I wasn’t expecting this outcome, I don’t miss it. It took a few weeks, but I haven’t felt this good in years. The more I look back, the more I... — read more

So just out of curiosity, if one jumps a PSG will that take into effect in May? Or are you looking at another three years as your current PSG? And if one jumps from a 20 to a 21 what is used to determine the pay increase? My apologies I’m still... — read more 

I hear that there will be a lot of temporary assignments. HRLT is expecting 10-15 Psg 22-24 selected people to leave Chevron within the next year.

I hate it here so much that job hunting actually feels like relief instead of a chore. It takes a lot for that to be true for a procrastinator like me.

Came to show it to a colleague and it’s gone. Talked about 20% cuts, busywork and Les only focusing on AI projects?

For anyone close to MW and ELT, what are they saying about the absolutely dreadful morale at Chevron? I'd like to hear their discussions about how they think any of this is good for the company.

Time to stop drinking the blue cool aid. Chevron would happily offshore or turn every job tomorrow an AI agent tomorrow if it would bump the stock price 1/2%. Our core competencies are Wall Street FOMO and slow following tech bros culture. Time to... — read more
