Is MW the most un-American CEO in Chevron history or is he the most American with the way he's acting?

After nine years with cvx, I am planning to move on. I just have a perhaps stupid question: since our pension is vested after 5 years of service, will we get all the lump sum number shown in total awards webpage if we choose to take it out? and if we... — read more

Is the strike gonna happen?

Yeah, Chevron spends too much on consultants - totally agree. But since this genius reorg there's no one left to do the actual work. Now ELP has to be the guardians of anyone and anything who may use a consultant - oh, except for all the exec... — read more 

No one has any faith in the employee survey. No actions are going to come from it.

Wouldn't cutting MW's salary amd other ELT be a great move? Consultants like McKinsey basically run the company so why pay for expensive ELT?

Why are we paying MW over 30 million a year when he can't make decisions and just hires multimillion dollar consultants like McKinsey to run the company? Maybe fire MW and we'll really save money!

Absolutely no point in taking the survey or participating in anything Chevron related. Its a completely dead company so who cares. Back to operation bare minimum effort!!!
