The real problem with the lay-off's we are seeing at Chevron and all oil and gas company's is just a symptom. The real problem is the huge debt Chevron and others has gotten itself into anticipating oil's continually rise.Where do you think all this... — read more 

They are not directly Chevron Employees but many contractors were laid off in Wafra today. That is just another sign that the PZ dispute is not headed for a resolution anytime in the near future. More Chevron employees will be displaced and added to... — read more 

It's embarrassing to me as a CVX employee how many of these posts are full of horrible spelling and grammar. There have been some really thoughtful posts, but most make the author look like a real idiot. Learn to communicate like a professional and... — read more 

Th current group of senior executives have so terribly mis-managed, mis-fired and totally missed the ball on every 'decision' that collective group has made. Good ole team full of MBA's, politicatal geniuses, prideful & power hungry ego's are the... — read more 

Anyone know the near future for drilling engrs? Seems with the current oil price the slowdown will be dramatic on staff and DSMs. Anyone?

How much of a pay cut could I expect if I had to leave the o&g industry? I don't think any other industries have 9/80, do they? Example, if I made $100,000 in o&g, what is realistic in the real world?

Pennsylvania Layoffs: They started cutting people last year, so layoffs are nothing new in Pennsylvania. Lots of people went up for management positions (a lot, but definitely not all) to further their career and ended up getting screwed because that... — read more 

I would not be surprised if we see major cuts by the end of the year, 2016 will be even worse given the projections

Any news from DWEP? I am just changed to this business unit, I heard they were in the RAE and some got let go but I am wondering about a DWEP ROM or other cuts. Has anyone heard if there will be a ROM in CNAEP or more specifically DWEP. By the press... — read more 

I hope this post doesnt turn into a bunch of smartass remarks from you know it alls. 30 years ago we worked together for each other, now it seems some of your good managers kept thier mouth guarded for fear of firing them while protecting some good... — read more 

I’ve followed this forum very closely for the past few days. In late 1999, Chevron was accumulating as much $$ as possible to acquire Texaco. My whole group was eliminated in 2000 under a downsizing program called SITE (special involuntary... — read more 

I am hearing about BU ROMs in this board. When will it be at SJVBU?

If someone can accurately explain this process.. Will all employes who were not affected by the RAE have to apply for their current jobs. Does the ROM just involve the employees from the RAE applying for open positions. Not sure I understand the ROM... — read more 

RAE/ROM in the GOM i wish they would offer my husband something so he could be OUT!!! Chevron has been great to us for 37 years…. time to move on to our next adventure….when are they gonna ask for volunteers….

The RAE in SJV BU for example resulted in some 55 people being let go. Is that the extent of it or there is going to be a ROM or a project Alpha focussed on BUs like SJV this year? This is all a bit confusing and hope someone can enlighten us.

How many "must move"s among the expats? Each expat is at least a million dollars in cost. Eliminate 500 expats. That is at least 500 million. Could be even more. Will pay 25% of the next dividend obligation.

Does anyone know the actual count for AMBU RAE results? I can't imagine it was high since AMBU was just ROM'd.

They posted new land jobs in coraopolis. Why do that if intending to nojv? If being absorbed by mcbu, it looks as though they would still want physical representation in pa while reporting up to mcbu.

How safe is supply chain management?

Non technical employee here of 11yrs, not in scope for alpha...got an offer elsewhere for about 10% higher base. Ride out this downturn as superiors keep saying it's cyclical or take offer to start fresh in a completely different industry? Obviously... — read more 

No doubt a lot of angst and some well deserved ribbing of Chevron. BUT, the reality is that the main factors in Chevron's problems today are the price of oil (out of Chevron's control) and poor execution of MCPs (in Chevron's control). While this is... — read more 

If ambu became nojv, what would that mean? Would any jobs remain? If ambu was absorbed by mcbu, would jobs remain in pa?

The whole premise of a dividend is to return earnings to the shareholders. Does it make any sense to borrow money or sell assets to be paying the dividend? Who in the hell does that?? Chevron Executives do it!!! Earnings were a paltry $550 million... — read more 

That's the word in the street, as shareholders wants their checks and current employees are paying attention about Chevron's being able to honor it's pension program. If dividends go belly up, shareholders flee. But are our pensions protected?

I left Chevron 2 years ago because of piss poor leadership. I just found this board. We are also having massive cuts. I have to laugh at my Shell guys. They think favoritism ranks high here. Shell is not even close to the debacle they call Chevron. I... — read more 

Someone suggested that we may need to file for BKO restricting. I don't think that will happen. We will keep divesting and then some entity or group of entities will buy us. But who?

We have about 61,500 employees, excluding gas station employees, Monday this week. How many will we have this time next year?

Any word if SJVBU will undergo ROM this year? Next year?
