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

What's the impact of today's Engine announcement? Does that mean more layoffs are coming?

Hello everyone - came in to get some laughs and get caught up on the BS I left behind. Life is better after 17+ years with CVX and recently hitting a one year anniversary with the new company and new leadership/team. Sorry to gloat but greener... — read more 

Personal leave was announced yesterday. Today he’s missing from the address book… anyone have the tea?

Might have missed it because it was held at engine. Heard some colleagues talk about how bad today’s Townhall was. What’s the scoop?

I btch on here as much as the rest. But credit where it’s due. Thanks Mike.

With the massive profits the company is raking in, it might go a long way with the employees who have hit rock bottom morale to give an additional bonus. I know there's a f a t chance of that happening with MW ,but all of us who have suffered through... — read more

My prediction is our lead message is that we still need to cut costs - no matter the results.

Well, their plan is working. Over the last month two of my most talented colleagues have left for other firms. As predicted by every study, the forced attrition is working through departures of the most talented. The only folks being left behind are... — read more 

When you tell your manager you’re not relocating, will they terminate you or force you to resign? What’s better from a benefits standpoint?

Oh yeah that’s gonna be well attended. What a joke. We know which country is their favorite.

Any supervisors here can confirm what they actually monitor?

Each asset will have to have the bottom 15% (5% of them will be PIP). HR doesn’t know how or what the process looks like. Gotta love Human Energy and The Chevron way right? Those messages are dead. It’s a dog eat dog world. Get the most out of your... — read more
