If you scored expanded stock options instead of a comparable raise in the past couple of years, just a heads-up: the severance FAQ says that if you get laid off or there's a divestiture within three years of getting the grant, you'll lose the whole... — read more

Will EOI payout be based on current salary or salary as of separation date?
This month we all find out if we got raises and what our new salary will be. If I take the EOI will it be based on my salary today or my salary as April or whenever my last day is?

Deferred Severance Packages
Anyone know how/why someone would get an option to defer severance? I saw it’s through Dec 2026 and curious who they would offer that too?
Vacation
I have 6 weeks of vacation. Anyone knows what happens to it if I don’t take and/or if I take all of it now before I EOI?
Who is in charge of this mess? The unprepared few.
There is a very small group running this mess and convincing leaders they know what they’re doing. Of course ES surrounds himself with brown nosers who don’t actually know what they’re doing and walk around with a chip - meanwhile McKinsey makes... — read more
Control what you can control
We all know that these perpetual layoffs are disruptive and demoralising. We also know that the application process is largely ceremonial and performative motions. We are told to control what we can control. What would happen if, collectively... — read more
I’m the bad combo
Approaching 50 and working 3 days in office. I've been looking for a low-key consultancy role with a smaller company. Peace and quiet, suitable for my very old age of 48. I think I may have come across an offer that works—lower pay, but a way out... — read more
Exxon had 80K employees a couple years ago, and now below 60K.
Crystal ball not needed. This is where we are headed and Exxon continues to cut.
MW Office
I overheard a convo with a group of colleagues behind me attending the retirement reception at Lakeside in the new San Ramon office that MWs own staff is never in the office, and we could potentially be transitioning back to 5 days in the office. we... — read more

I’ve been through this with Exxon before I quit and came to Chevron You will train Engine employees 2 about the time they start to be competent they will quit Repeat
If you stay prepare for a worse experience
Work is about to get cr-ppy. Even if you aren’t fired. Your workload will increase. You will spend your time correcting mistakes by ENGINE Indians. You will train your replacements over and over. Your pay and benefits will be cut. You get the idea. — read more

Great job everyone showing that WFH is viable. You have convinced the executive ruling class that Indians can do your job! Bravo!
Indian Expats to USA
Get ready for ENGINE Indian employees to be offered expat roles in the USA as we fire Americans. Need to train them. Happening at Exxon as we speak in Houston and the Permian.
Midland office resuctions
Next up will be reducing the number of employees in Midland. Just look at what Exxon and others have done to cut headcount in Midland by hiring Indians. Forced relocations to drive resignations of people who don’t want to move. That office is way... — read more
If you are younger than 50 leave
Based on Exxon experience if you are younger than 50 leave while you can. This is just the first round. Older employees will continue to be targeted and replaced by Indians. Get out now. Age discrimination is real and you don’t want to be older than... — read more
Round 1 / Round 2
would it make sense for Round 1: roles less impacted by the Hess aquisition and Round 2 - roles more impacted by the Hess aquisition ? this would allow time for the arbitration ruling before the selections are made i have no inside knowledge on... — read more

Can you still get unemployment benefits from the government if you EOI? Can anyone share how that works?
severance package
The severance package was shown on workday this morning but by afternoon it was removed…. Anybody know why?
BP Acquisition?
Here’s one heard at the water cooler: this layoff is priming the pump to look as cheap as possible for an impending acquisition. By BP? Is that even possible? Seems monopolistic.
Why only 2 weeks per year of service?
When Dwight Schrute fired Jim and Pam (as a curtesy in the final episode) he offered them a month for every year of service. Even Dunder Mifflin, a company with limitless paper in a paperless world, offers a better severance package. What a joke…
Well, No Work Got Done Today
More people in my group showed up for work today than I have seen in a long time. It was just to catch up on the gossip and try to figure out what the he-l was going on. Talk about confusion. I don't think much work will be going on for the next... — read more
Young Engineers Do Not Come to Chevron
I am old and close to retirement. We have gone through layoffs every 2 years since 2018. As a young talented person, you would be better served at ExxonMobil or BP. They will tell you it's the industry, but our management cannot get it right... — read more
RTO
rumor has it that we will go to 4 days in office starting in June. Can anyone confirm this ? Sounds like there are groups that already switched to 4 days in office.
No mention of health benefits (COBRA) in the new HR site
I'm glad we are getting severance pay. But there is no mention of health insurance benefits. Do you think CVX will pay for this or will this be employee expense? During the last ROM, I heard CVX paid for it. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks
AEOI No takers
Can't see the point in anyone going for AEOI unless they have another job to jump to sooner. Note to HR: Sweeten the deal with 2.5 weeks per year or guarantee to stay on payroll through June. I think many more would take it if they weren't getting... — read more
The severance pay compensation on Workday has been removed
The Dynamic Calculated severance pay in Workday is no longer available for me to see. Wonder why they removed it.
Fire Americans and hire India s
Considering the hiring going on in India the number of Americans who will be fired starting now is going to be a big number. Also once you train your replacements in India the firing will continue. This isn’t survive one cut. Get ready for annual... — read more
Chances of Chevron IT Horizons employees having EOI approved?
As the title says, I am wondering if anyone has any insight on whether horizon's members are just as likely to be approved for EOI. Generally, horizons employees are thought to be trainable minds that will help shape the company's future. That... — read more
Thank you Chevron
For a couple decades of good pay and benefits, a fat pension, work travel for me and my family, and then cap it all off with a very nice severance package. I was lucky to go to work for this Company, very lucky. Thank you Chevron!
Shale and tight in round 1 selections
Source: supervisor transcribing leadership meeting notes.
If you know where to look MOST of the AEOI info is out.
I'm guessing there will be an email sent to US payroll employees by EOD today. Key points: US Payroll only 2 weeks/yr 52 weeks max AEOI window starts Feb. 28 Last day on payroll as early as 4/21 if approved Time for you kids to go hunting.
Tax withholding strategy for taking EOI
Any tax strategy so that I won’t be withholding too much tax if I take EOI?
Good news…only 6 more months of this
Taking the better part of a year for a reorg, in the name of efficiency, is the most chevron thing I can imagine. Wanna know how I know this is going to fail? This is what leadership thinks efficiency looks like. Meanwhile, morale tanks. Incidents... — read more
