Layoffs, announcements, anything?

Chevron was once a great company that valued loyalty, years of service and experience. Your 20+ years of service was looked at as an asset that would be rewarded by a career in which you could choose when to retire with dignity. No longer the case... — read more 

It is not worth it! I have seen professionals work until they died and what is the point of that? The stress will ki-l you. Take some time for yourself as you near your golden years. You will also have time to hone your investment skills and manage... — read more 

Lots of reductions in safety stuff. Seems scary? Is it a good thing?

Does anyone else feel like the company is turning a blind eye to safe work practices in order to save money and finish projects more quickly?

Source below: Layoffs are making news across industries, with oil and gas hit hardest. ConocoPhillips will cut up to 25% of its staff, about 3,250 jobs. Chevron is preparing to shed up to 9,000 positions this year. Oversupply and weak demand have... — read more 

I've been applying like crazy and I thought I had a job locked down after signing the offer, but the company just went silent during the background check. No updates, no responses, nothing. Now I'm left completely confused and stressed and feeling... — read more 

What percentage of subsurface is being cut? Hard to estimate as spread over multiple organisations (CNE, Exploration, Offshore, Subsurface etc..) Anyone have an estimate?

What happens between the 2nd and 15th? I believe that is when “selection meetings” begin? So that time in between? Nothing occurs? I’m quite sure advocates have been speaking with job owners during the entire process, especially when the jobs... — read more 

I just heard about the terrible accident in Portugal, and this line from the article struck me: “there's a lack of people with a good memory and who learned from their elders.' 'All of those people have left' I think this is very applicable to... — read more 

Oh, by the way, they offered more. Best of luck in India.

If I make it past this round, I plan to “quiet quit” (do the minimum) next 3-4 years and collect the package next layoff round. If this is how they treat us … this is what they will get. It’s a very rational decision on my part.

I really mean this folks. Look at our HSE LT. Look at the ETC LT. Can this be more of a joke? We have no professionals left. We have no one that has any substantive amount of time in the field. We just have nepotism, DEI and C-Suite best... — read more 

Why? It’s his 5th largest holding. I understand that he wants to diversify into the energy sector but why would he choose to invest in Chevron, as opposed to XOM?

HR people now that jobs are posted how are you feeling? How do you see your future career in HR at Chevron progressing? I’ve been here just a few years but have witnessed the increasing lack of role mobility and chance for growth. The latest... — read more 

Chevron’s CEO is “not happy” with exploration performance. That’s corporate-speak for “we spent a fortune and found disappointment.” But fear not, salvation may be inbound: Hess’s exploration geoscientists are now on deck. Will they bring seismic... — read more 

I’m tired of seeing MW, LC, EB and whoever the name of the week is. They are just receiving orders from the real decision makers: https://www.chevron.com/who-we-are/leadership MW, LC, and EB at least have the ba--s to show their face when doing...

More or less of a dumpster fire now compared to twelve months ago? 🗑️ 🔥

Another MW Fluff piece. The guy says we do culture better than Exxon. The guy is wrecking our culture and made it a dreadful place to work! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/business/chevron-oil-mike-wirth.html

On this labor day I just want to tell all of my employees that I cant wait to lay you off! I wish you would work made up holidays like this as what is most important in life is pleasing the shareholders and me! Get back to work and do better! MW

Just saw an ethics alert posted on Inside, and thought it was for sure about good ole LC. What he has done is far worse than the 3 cases described in the article. What will RB do? MN letting him do whatever he wants does have consequences. Lining... — read more 

9/2 is the date the tool closes. I know they know where everyone going where. The 3 choices are only formality. The new leaders pick their team. A lot of politics involved

For the folks that have been in a PDC previously, are degrees/formal education required after a certain PSG level?

Looking to file a class action. They know information integral to our decision on what to post for, share it with a select few, tell selective lies and half truths to the extent that this reorg is unfair and favors those privy to this information... — read more 

Love to hear your thoughts.

I’ll never understand the people on these threads who equate working from home with not working. It’s frustrating that even the ELT has started to adopt that attitude. We’re three rounds of layoffs in after three years, and it’s not because people... — read more 

Last post deleted... Heard that there will be a PSG adjustment at the end of the year to align us with the industry, anyone else hear this? Heard they are doing salary surveys.

Heard that Chevron, like many companies, are doing salary surveys for an upcoming company wide adjustment to compete with the industry. Anyone else heard anything?
