It would take years to replace international manufacturing in the US, plus there are no workers here for those jobs. You think US employers are going to pay US wages for that work… ? Clearly not when we’re all continuing to outsource... — read more 

What a disaster hire. MKW, EB, BK, MN… and now RB, his new boss, might shrug this CES off as poor because it’s layoff time, morale is low, and think that’s the reason. A lot of the same comments on this site will probably show up in the CES... — read more

GM’s announced for capital projects… same as before. And can you guess… MM in the mix! The guy has done nothing in projects, got kicked out of CNE, yet gets a GM job rather than showing the door. That calls in question TK’s biases and decision... — read more 

I’m convinced my department has a secret policy of promoting the most incompetent people imaginable. One senior manager is the absolute worst—no skills, no experience, no clue how anything actually works. Just spews corporate buzzwords like "synergy"... — read more 

4/4 If this is true why some 26s don’t know?

Let’s discuss details in this thread.

If we are going to get outsourced go out fighting. Contact your reps or the media. Embarrass Chevron if needed. Don't train your replacement. "Fight Fight Fight"

So the next layer of the org chart came out earlier this week. In my BU really no news except a different job title, but no cuts at all. Guess they are saving those for the “worker bees” on the low end of the salary chain

If you're thinking about getting out and have a job offer somewhere else, do it. Is the EOI going to last through the job hunt with hundreds of other ex-CVX, XOM and Apache employees looking too? I walked away from 6 months salary to take an offer in... — read more 

Many of us are finding out that other resources are taking over when new people pop up in our calls. No communication or heads up. Shows lack of respect for people. There is no common courtesy any more. So, yeah, be brutal on the CES survey.

The following is the feedback the senior leaders in HSE received either last year or the year before and nothing was done with it. It is based on the perspective of the HSE employees: Incompetent Leadership and Lack of Accountability Concern:... — read more 

The brainiacs at the top think next week is good to send out CES and have a safety stand down. Be brutally honest on CES. Don’t hold back. They need to know how bad this place really is.

Be warned. The folks leading this mess think it is totally fine if you only have a job title, not description, to go by when selecting your three jobs. Not sure what the role is simply by the title? Just guess! They’re going to put you where they... — read more 

I’m done waiting around for this place to cut me loose. Staying here just ki-ls my self-respect - watching this company flail while pretending everything’s fine. I don't even care if I'll be earning as much somewhere else - the stress simply isn’t... — read more 

Which would you rather work for?

Listen, everyone needs to just calm down about the re-org. It’s going to be different this time. But I know what you’re thinking, it the same leaders as last time, with the same game plan. But they’ll get it right this time okay. And if they don’t... — read more 

I am so sick and tired of the stupidity and cluelessness.

Exxon is continuing with their firing of their high cost employees. UK is first to go. Read the Exxon forum for more. This is our future to look forward to. Time to change... — read more 

I heard that we spent millions to work with MSFT to build the exploration AI model. I heard that we spent hundreds of millions buying new data. Will the new leadership turn things around? What are the key challenges in our exploration?

This topic deserves to be addressed openly and candidly. For years, I’ve observed and contributed my thoughts on this site. As a current employee working in a field location for HSE, I’ve witnessed the ongoing deterioration of leadership and... — read more 

Revealing one org layer at a time isn’t helpful. We need to see how many positions are where they are located to understand the impact. Anyone have insight to that? Should be soon. Good luck to the managers that actually look out for their people... — read more 

Who stays and who goes for the following: MCBU RBU SJVBU CTC Ops Managers, Superintendents, Advisors, Team Leads? Drop initials!

The GM’s announcement was underwhelming; lots of same people who are already working with named VPs, etc. How is anything going to change?

I didn’t see PC, the deepwater director, in the new announcement. He is a decent guy.

Timing of next layer of org announcement?

With more than expected people accepting EOI from RBU, GOM, CTC; it looks like we will need to start hiring sooner rather than later

umm okay, how does CE go from managing ops in GOM to IT GM

With the background that LC, KG, and LM (now fired) having never managed an IT ecosystem with the global scope as large as Chevron, LC has just hooked up his friend to a PSG 29 role to manage IT Operations, which is mostly MSP and outsourced... — read more

Transformation was done in one go. How is this more complicated like HR said? It’ll be torture for Wave 2 folks. Plus standing up orgs that aren’t complete. McK or EY probably recommended to drag out their fees. Well done, well done. See you... — read more
