Two month on payroll
I was a casualty of ROM 2. The company pays for two more months. Can anyone please tell me if we continue to get laid those tow months if we were to find and start another job elsewhere?
Why did management layoff geologists at SJVBU and keep a geologist that didn't even get his Masters? It's a slap in the face.
It's unfair that SJVBU let go of geologists that earned their MS but they kept one that never did. Is it that he's favored because he works KR field?
Is this what we get?
Seems like each year during the boom Chevron kept adding more and more headcount. Rather than adding some work to employees, they hire folks to do 2-3 hours worth of work a day (if that). I mean how many of you truly work more than 4 hours a day?

This is not a pleasant situation for many. It is an imperfect situation. There is fear. There is loathing. There is arrogance. There is sympathy. There will be more. Life will go on.

Please, contact your HR rep or supervisor. Whatever you do, do NOT come here for real information.
