Is it time to have a conversation on who was a worse CHRO? RM or MG? Entire organization is falling apart while looking head on to more layoffs.

I’m coming from a different industry and recently received an offer from Chevron for a design engineering position. I’m hesitant to accept the offer, even though the compensation is slightly better than my current company. My biggest concern is... — read more 

Or is it useless to even try?

What’s Chevron India actually doing? Any big successes? Genuinely curious.

Looks like the space may be sub leased. Are those of us remaining moving? Where?

I thought we were “not copying Exxon” This is a direct copy and paste from the Exxon playbook

Keep hearing rumors about working from home on Mondays getting approved. Anyone have any updates?

I have never seen anything official announcing that a PIP process would be enforced on the lowest ranked 5% in the new performance system. Where did this all come from ? … or is it all rumour mill ?

Hey man we just want to let you know ELT how we all feel about you. If you are truly like Ted Lasso then you should open your ears and eyes and actually hear what we are saying and how we feel about the company right now. You all are the most hated... — read more 

Anyone else see the instagram post where MW claims to be inspired by Lasso? Cause that tracks.

Does our "leadership" have any other ideas other than obsessive cost cutting? What is with MKW's addiction to laying people off non stop? No one should enjoy doing it so much. How did he get in the position as he's as toxic as you get.

It was confirmed that instead of "lumpy" layoffs every 4-5 years that they plan to reduce headcount yearly in a "less lumpy" and "more smooth way," whatever the he-l that means. There was a lot of time spent explaining this. Any other areas of the... — read more 

You all actually thought you had a long-term career in the oil industry and with this company. Oh, well.

Who will get 2- and 3?

Hypothetically if we started posting elsewhere, what would be the top 3 other companies you would want to work for? Asking for a friend.

The company is hiring in offshore locations but not in onshore. Townhalls are in India. PIP is in action with more to come. Why are you training your replacements? How do onshore employees see a future here? I’m not seeing it. Help me understand... — read more 

So now it’s finally time for the attorneys to get their chance at the hunger games. May the odds ever be in your favor!

When I first joined, there was a real sense that people cared about the work and about each other. That's mostly disappeared now. Years of changes have completely stripped away whatever it was that made the place special, and we're now at the point... — read more 

Hows the politicking going on in our most political function?

What does that look like? Can you volunteer to be on it? Can you get unemployment afterwards?

I am getting ready to head up to 1500 in a couple hours for the IT Town hall at Engine watch party. Anyone else coming? 1500 floor 17! I for one am ready to hear what LC has to say!

You Chevron haters are just deadweight. You’re pretending to work while hating our company and contributing to cr-ppy morale. Why don’t you just leave? If you’re so unhappy here… Just leave? We don’t need your Dunning–Kruger effect, grandiosity and... — read more 

Here’s a cleaned-up, more coherent version that keeps your original tone and meaning: Rumors started about 60 days ago of a possible CEO change, a bonus for employees after a record quarter, and Mondays working from home. I’d been hearing... — read more 

What was even the point of SETH today? Another town hall that seemed like a total waste of time.

We are never getting free of him. That SETH answer was pretty much “I don’t want to retire, the board is happy with me, your happiness doesn’t matter, take your extra money and shut up”

Blue suit and black socks….poor choice Mike

You heard it here first

I've had years of promises, and zero results. I'm tired of all the lies and watching incompetent people get ahead.

Just one more opportunity to AEOI please! - Mike, ELT and HR are you listening? If most of us knew how bad it was going to be we would have put our hands up right away. Some of us need the cushion before making our next move.

Will MW be man enough to discuss the dysfunction and terrible morale he's caused at Chevron?

If you aren’t relocating, did they term you? I was asked to fill out the form and the only option was voluntary resignation. If they term you would you qualify for unemployment? For the CIP? It’s hard to interpret the plan documents.

LC is absolutely the worst CIO imaginable. A sack of trash would do a better job. Who ever hired him should be fired as they are terrible leaders for getting such a bad leader. We all know its MW and he's terrible himself.

I have a few times. Worst cases of Chevron derangement syndrome, they usually had pretty mediocre jobs but were addicted to the power point lifestyle . I dont know what it is: a lack of confidence that they cant find a new job, too far Chevronized... — read more 

If you are 1 to 5 years at Chevron and trying to navigate your career path, it might seem foggy but there is a method to the madness. You have not fully built your network yet while everything seems to be changing fast. My advice is collaborate more... — read more 

Between the brain fog, fatigue and confidence taking a hit, did anyone feel HR or management quietly decided you were “past your prime”? Did you tell HR, or did you keep it to yourself? Curious if anyone’s been through this.

Why is it any time I talk to any chevron employee they hate their job? Why is it every time I talk to a Chevron subcontractor they hate working for Chevron? Seems like Chevron doesn’t give a fu-k about any local community. Let alone their own... — read more 

Anyone ever heard of someone who survived a Chevron pip?

I’m in a research group. My research was fully funded for the last three years and deviated in a direction from my normal work. I did this because (1) it was requested of me by my manager and others in my unit and (2) too much friction with another... — read more
