Just went through R1 and hindsight is 20/20. I am fearful that some of us depending on organization will have to go through this again in 2016 if oil takes another dip but I wanted to put some tidbits out there as there was some confusion between... — read more

In 4 days, oil went back up 25%. So are we going to be back to 80 and 90 later this year? So, Chevron's cash flow problems are solved, done and over. No more ROMs RAEs BCG etc. etc. no need for this board either. Thing is we just don't know if this... — read more 

I think we all know Chevron is the definition of broke. I am on the Big Foot TLP project team and it will be years before this project even gets deployed after the fiasco in June. I am in my 30's and with Chevron for 5 years. I am now ensuring I... — read more 

I've been trolling this place for some time now, more out of morbid curiosity than necessity, and have seen topics range from fairly legit to outright bizarre. Human beings are interesting creatures as they tend to act more like flies than birds when... — read more 

When will the new Organizational Chart for the GOMBU be posted.

Well Chevron still is totally absent and has no sense of urgency. This is of huge national interest in Australia as it will hurt foreign investment. It is all over the news. It is also all over the news that Chevron seems "unorganized" to handle this... — read more 

I strongly urge you Chevron folks to create awareness around this "www.thelayoff.com/chevron" forum / site. Make it public, encourage your folks to participate and bring in objective and yet unfiltered feedback. You will be surprised. So much good... — read more 

I hate to use names here, but i could not have said THAT any better. The boy believes that he runs the world. H has no clue what he is doing, buy has no trouble telling you what YOU and I are doing wrong. The Sean show

The "Way Of The Weasel", my friend,... the way of the weasel. Not saying Chevron's loaded with more weasels than any other outfit, but will say I've never witnessed as MANY weasels in any of the other (four) energy companies I've worked in, as I have... — read more 

Poor performance starts with Leadership and procurement forcing us to use the current piss poor service providers were using now.. Bad attitude is our response when their is nothing we can do about it. Meanwhile our issues cannot be raised, or your... — read more 

Sooooo you will find this interesting. Chevron Commissioned a business case study on SC. It looked at cost and efficiency and at the end that the contractor was effective in getting safe work done (competing the task). This was a very good deep dive... — read more

25% to 35%. I am not sure they can layoff 1/3 of the work force in one layoff. This is much worse than I anticipated. I knew it was bad, really bad. But Chevron is going through a catastrophic business cycle. I was going to try and ride this out but... — read more 

No ungrateful employees here, brother! What we have here is an ungrateful company. Get your perspective straight!

If this happens put a pin in it! There is no way to accommodate the new workers first off and just to onboard and train it will be months. And after months they won't be ready. They are seriously talking about bringing in flotel Europa. EVERYONE just... — read more 

How does one even know if they are a "hi-pot". Does this nomenclature apply across the company? BUs, ETC, HR, etc? Thanks!

So sad to read through the comments. I understand there has to be layoffs. I get it. However, whatever happened to "Human" in "Human Resources?" They should be fighting for the employees. Just do the right thing by these employees. Give them they... — read more 

The ROM brought hope, but the same inadequate people were left in leadership roles. There are many talented and experienced people with global Chevron experience who work under these horrible L2 and L3 leaders. Nepotism at its worst. Wish I had a... — read more 

If this place was still Atlas we would be drilling 350 wells like the rest of the independents here. Atlas also did not kill employees. Chevron hired fast food kids as well site managers. I was at Atlas for 7 months when Chevron bought them. After... — read more 

I may have to move to AMBU. The common perception is that the BU is a bunch of hillbilly mouth-breathers. Is it that bad?

Moved less than 2 years ago by Chrvron. Severance package states they will move me back. Now they say no assistance. Contract time was bridged for health and welfare eligibility date. Now they say that no longer applies. Working for Chevron has been... — read more

Speechless

Chevron's cashflow problems are huge. And I don't think oil is done going down.

From 1996 to 2006, a group of scientists went onsite at Boeing to study what happens when a company is inundated with layoffs. They wrote a book about the study - "Turbulence: Boeing and the State of American Workers and Managers". They claim that... — read more

Any news from IT Function ROM round 1?

I am finding that the IT Function ROM seems to be getting rid of the 50+ people as usual. I better see some 20-40 age people going out the door or it will be class action on Age discrimination. It is time Chevron gets a very large class action... — read more 

Other companies are cutting IT pretty deep. Anyone have any info on what positions are getting cut the most here?

A year ago, CVX share 130 --- $30 more than XOM. These are all per share values. It is clear who is outperforming whom handily. Market has spoken without any doubt. Shame on you Chevron management. Wake up!
