Is The Chevron Way just a slogan for you? Or do you think it actually has some substance.
Top 20
Per Barrons, Chevron has moved into top 20 valued American companies bc of Iran and analysts say oil will be in triple digits for years. All that value will trickle down to us lowly ants, right? Right?
CIP - Make it Make Sense
Long time lurker 👀 , first time poster ✉️ Received my 2025 CIP payment today, which was graciously received. And it was only slightly less than my 2024 payment where I achieved mostly EEs. Except the difference is that this was laid off end of... — read more
Layoffs delayed
AI isn't working as well as Mike would like. I hear 2026/early 2027 layoffs are delayed by 6-12 months. Mike is not happy. 115m dollars is being deployed to consultants to "make it work".
What is next
What does your crystal ball see? Mine 2027 RIF 2028 Richmond goes to a terminal 2029 It's time to talk about increasing shareholder value - Split Upstream from Downstream etal. Separate companies; oh wait that's being discussed in 2026. Hi BR... — read more
IT LT attrition
LC losing the FLT. Subsurface and C&C GMs both gone. Just the plan he had so he can insert his General Motors cronies disguised as EY consultants. Who’s next to leave? TK? KB? Those are the only 2 left from the original BB crew. Every single... — read more
Reflecting on recent events
Reflecting on the energy sector lately, it’s striking how much the work we do matters ... not just in powering homes and industries, but in doing it thoughtfully and responsibly. At Chevron, there’s a quiet consistency to how things get done:... — read more
Oil and Iran
Hurry before some snowflake complains about a factual statement by our president and they take this down again. DT “The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,”
Offshore California
What will Chevron do now that Trump is planning to restart ops offshore California?
Current Employees Only
Fellow employees, how are you all getting along in the new org? How is the work load? My personal experience is pure he-l to be honest. Triple workload and chaos from management. This may be just my own experience, so I’m hoping to get an idea of... — read more
President Trump’s Statement on Iran and Oil
D. Trump “The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money”
Chevronton
Dearest gentle reader, it has come to this author’s attention that all is not glittering in the oil patch, particularly within the cold, steely walls of Chevron. While the company boasts of record-setting efficiency, measured by colorful scorecards... — read more
No More PDRs?
There are now no more PDRs? What does this mean? Is it just another nail in the coffin of getting a new position/career progression? I guess there won’t be any need for them if there aren’t any jobs to post in a PDC.
Too soon?

Will multiple conflicts prevent layoffs?
As CVX price and bbl go up with the multiple conflicts, will that save us from additional layoffs? Or is this short term?
Any word on Exploration?
My boss has been hinting that there's no longer a cliquey barrier for entry into exploration. I've heard there's a reorg coming. What are the current whispers?
So many opportunities at Chevron
You get to experience favoritism, nepotism, and exploitation. No growth at all. Leaders who only care about themselves and face no consequences for anything. Great place.
Finance Sheet Show
Finance is now a complete joke. Management does not know the inefficiency of these endless forecasts, scorecards, and endless requests on a daily basis. This new op model is half baked at best. They know not, nor care about the chaos they created... — read more
Richmond and El Segundo
The west coast refineries run a lot of Middle East crude slates, their on hand stocks are probably good for a week or so depending on where they on the resupply cycle. Assume there is some business continuity plan for supply disruptions.
IT monitoring
I know Chevron monitors activity. Obviously. But has anyone else received a new pop up to confirm that we understand and agree with our appropriate use policies? I’ve asked around and my peers haven’t received….
IT
What is the deal with the hatred towards IT at Chevron? Its pure he-l working here in IT as you are treated as a 3rd class citizen. We are the first for our ignorant ELT to pick on for cuts all while that advertise around Houston how they are... — read more
it seems that the structural raise for 2025 is 3%
so, I got totally 4.5%, and I got 1.5% beyond structural raise of 3%. below average?
CIP (pro-rated 2025)
My partial CIP arrived in my bank account overnight. This is after an AEOI last year. No sign of a paystub though, and I expect that will arrive via snail mail.
The Algorithm
Algorithm for PMP and ranking. Yes I said it. Now its all new, so there will be considerations. But if AI you can compare across organization and huge data bases. What I am saying, it there are known attributes for high potential.And performances. ... — read more
How does 90 day performance plan work?
If you’re not happy with your current position but the manager has not put you on a performance plan yet, can you tell your manager you want to volunteer to be out then you have 90 days- sounds like severance. Seems like a win- win.
Not that bad
I have to say despite knowing I'll be downvoted into oblivion, this place is fine. Good pay, decent work. If you're miserable here, you'd probably be miserable anywhere.
Thought for the day
This will come as a surprise to Chevron management; respect is earned and not deserved due to title or legacy. It has been a long time since I worked with a Chevron manager who actually earned respect. Management drafts way too many entitled... — read more
The Med
Any concerns about Leviathan and Tamar? Glad I am not on location.
Hearing a rumor there be an opportunity to AEOI in 2028?
Can anyone confirm with certainty?
90 POINTS
Can someone explain the significance of 90 points? Do they matter only for the company contribution towards healthcare premiums or do the 90 points come into play for other benefits?
Bonus for Separated employees
Is the payout usually below the full target? Company prioritizes full payout for current employee only?
Layoffs
Now convinced more than ever that the dysfunction is intentional to get you to quit. Don’t get fatigued. Make them fire you.
LinkedIn is full of scammers now
I've been getting so many fake job offers lately it's ridiculous. You're desperate for a job and thinking it's a lead, but it's just someone trying to steal your info. Please double-check every recruiter before you respond. These people prey on our... — read more
Exploration townhall
Last minute townhall announcement on Friday for Monday at 8 am. Thoughts?
Data Townhall
It’s been a few months. What’s the verdict on the new GM? Are we offshoring all data jobs in the next couple of years? The only takeaway for me was the OE moment. Basically somebody executed some script that ran up a $4m bill in a day. That... — read more
The weight just kind of builds up
Hard to pin down exactly why I'm drained most days. It's just this constant pressure to keep up, never feeling like you're actually ahead. I'm starting to worry this is the future, with no relief in sight.
Promotion Algorithm
Anyone have information on the algorithm utilized for March promotions? Seems to be some odd results of unexpected promotions. Others on the list for promotion heard crickets.
Just replace LT with consultants!
We have highly paid leaders, yet every single decision, metric, business plan, even EP are dictated by consultants. After the mess of 2025, with less people doing more work, our highly paid leaders think its a fantastic idea to have more benchmarking... — read more
Senior manager positions

A public shaming and a we beg you o great one
