Anyone think this administration that's allegedly "America First" will embarrass Chevron or come to the support of the all those being outsourced?

We already are stretched thin. Many teams have a lot of roles and workers missing already, while the workload remains the same. There’s a constant pressure to work more efficiently and harder. Too much overtime is becoming normalized. Coming reorg... — read more 

Let’s actually use this place what it’s meant for - layoff rumors! I’ll start- all below are things I’m hear from multiple sources: BUs are going away (this one makes no sense to me, but it’s the rumor I’m hearing the most) CTC and its sub... — read more 

I relocated for a leadership role, and I couldn’t regret it more. Despite having strong PMP results, I’ve been denied promotion the last 2 years (I’m currently not even in the psg range for the role). Now there are indications the role may be going... — read more 

Hate on this place all you want, but it’s still leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the industry. We’ve got better pay, better benefits, and a better culture. Sure, it’s not perfect, but compared to some of the places I’ve worked, it’s more than... — read more 

I'm so sick and tired of these corporate robot talking points that are being echoed from the top down about how chevron is being outcompeted. The company is announcing 2 to 3 billion in cost cutting (mostly jobs) over the next 2 years when just over... — read more 

50 positions, did you see them? “Field support?” “Turnaround scheduling?” “PHAs?” How do they seriously expect this to be done from India?

Every 1:1 with my manager nearly gives me a heart attack. At this rate, I’ll need to start medicating for high blood pressure soon with the way things have been going.

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the problems they allegedly have with staffing the ENGINE. Is it true, and if so, how would it reflect on planned reorg and layoffs here? I wouldn’t mind if some of what’s planned here is postponed. It would give... — read more 

I just want to work for a place that values its people. Is that too much to ask for? It’s frustrating to see companies holding onto their top talent because they get how valuable they are, while here, they’re pushing out the most skilled workers... — read more 

Why do they keep deleting every single post about the dude replaced by MN !? Was he the fall the guy?

Unionizing is about empowering workers to have a stronger voice in their workplace. At Chevron, as skilled engineers, we drive the success of the company, yet many of us feel that decisions about pay, benefits, safety, and working conditions are made... — read more 

It would be good to find out where we all stand asap.

Chevron U.S. engineers need to unionize now more than ever, or this mess will continue to happen. Coordinate with USW. Establish salters within the main refineries and get the train rolling. Leadership has already admitted these reorgs will now be... — read more 

What’s with NH and other high level execs stepping down? And why is the company saddled with MN or EB as next CEO? Talk about failing fast.

I don’t expect we’ll hear anything concrete about layoffs anytime soon. Not enough people have quit on their own yet. They’ll keep dragging this out, torturing us until they’re satisfied they’ve pushed out as many as possible without severance before... — read more

Any intel on when February update will be given? Beginning or end? What kind of info are we expecting to get from the update? I’m at least hoping for some sort of timeline and relocation announcements…

To liven things up, lets play buzzword bingo. These are the words you will hear the most this year that are meaningless. Feel free to add more Outcome Output Agile Accountability

Company performance predictions here. Last call to place bets. I think .9

We keep hearing from the ELT and others how they are “accountable” for everything that has gone sideways in the company in the last 5 years (albeit recently, before 2024 this terminology wasn’t used), but what does that actually mean? We have gone... — read more 

May layoffs come and be done with as soon as possible!

There is an old Dakota tribal wisdom, which was passed over from generation to generation. It basically goes like this: “When you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.” This strategy seems to be simple and logical... — read more 

Anyone have an idea if non-US payrolls are in scope this time? If support services and engineering in the US are getting purged and offshored, what about the same roles in places like NMA or TCO or LABU that are local payroll?

But there sure must be better ways to organize than having such rigid procedures, endless meetings and layers upon layers of mostly mediocre management. I can bet you that reorg will not address the vast majority of issues Chevron really has. Massive... — read more 

Are you paid out for any accrued hours? Or is the package purely based on years of service and the vacation hours don’t matter? I need to decide if I should be taking all my vacation in the next few months or not as I plan to volunteer for the EOI... — read more

Leaving the company. Will I get the bonus guaranteed when it’s announced? Or do I have to wait for March 7th before giving my notice?

I think the end game for San Ramon is to be out by end of 2028. The story told in August was to get as many people to leave before they finalized the plans. They know most in San Ramon will not move to Houston. They need to restructure as many... — read more 

.....or no..... What's your expectation from next year?

It is now painfully obvious that the timeline that MW communicated at the SR Townhall will not be honored. It’s also obvious that he already knew what was going to happen with layoffs. So he flat out lied, right? Does anyone see it differently, and... — read more

I’m amazed at how many of you still believe you’re safe here, as if hard work guarantees anything anymore. I’ve seen enough over the years to know better. If you think this place will reward your loyalty, you’re only fooling yourselves. Denial won’t... — read more 

We all know there’s haters for certain functions. But who would hate to see EOI from HR management?

They'll drag out the layoffs until we all go crazy.

I know I shouldn’t be this excited about layoffs, but they’ve kept us in this exhausting limbo for so long that I just want it to be over already. At this point, I’m saying, bring it on! Let’s rip off the bandage and move forward, whatever the end... — read more
