2025 will be 5.5 days a week in the office (minimum). We work better together. 99% of business value is generated by serendipitous conversations at the coffee machine, don't ya know? Please ignore the fact that half your team will be in India for... — read more 

When you realize you can no longer grow, and in fact poised for declines (hellllo non-existent reserves) the only move to increase cost cuts faster than you’re declining. It gives investors the sense of increased margins, while structurally... — read more 

I’m under a lot of stress right now. My wife lost her job seven months ago after ten years, and I’m the sole provider for our family of four. If Chevron layoffs hit me, we’d be in serious trouble. We have some savings, but it won’t last long. I’m... — read more 

I heard it from a solid source, the hybrid schedule is going away in order to push passive attrition. Employees will opt to voluntarily leave the company without severance. I for one will consider this, what will you do?

I’ve been trying to find other options ahead of reorg/layoffs/offshoring, and it’s bad out there. Five offers out of god knows how many resumes sent out, and all of them bad. Just one was worth considering, and it definitely wasn’t an improvement... — read more 

Is there any appetite for a Fire MW Fan Club or Employee Network? Maybe a ELT accountability Club with the focus on take a pay cut before any layoffs?

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/93410/000112760224027549/xslF345X05/form4.xml Absolutely not a good sign at all.

You either PRINT the picture, PAINT the picture, COUNT the number of pictures painted, or FORECAST how many pictures will be painted... zero ingenuity, creativity, or imagination.

I was laid off twice in my 25 years in the workforce and both times I got a better paying job in a better company (Chevron, in the last case) within a month. I'm not saying this is a guarantee, but it's also not unheard of. Ask around and you'll see... — read more 

Unless we are bought or we acquire - period. All indications are, we are leaning out to either defend our position or put us in a better position to acquire. Prove me wrong.

Why are we spending $60+ million on an updating the office to open space concept nobody wants and at the same time shipping work overseas to ENGINE? Is this groundwork to sell the buildings or make it easier to lease floors to other companies?

He sold 164,600 shares of business stock at $160.13 for a grand total $26,357,398.00 but we're cutting cost, employees losing jobs etc..

Now’s a great time to get your Chevron gear, the demand is low. Get it while you can!

Chevron has had zero strategy besides higher returns and lower carbon and very little management effort to shape execution of the vague strategy. Appears the strategy has been 'follow whatever our competitors are doing.' See the lame green strategy... — read more 

If there was a vast untapped resource of Indian brilliance then India would have utilized it.

Realistically, are we expecting January to be when this all goes down? I’m a noob PSG 19 so don’t know jack. If anyone with more experience can help give some insight so my anxiety can calm down a little that’d be greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaat. TIA — read more 

At this point in my career, I admit I’m all about keeping it simple. I show up, get the essentials done, and leave it at that. I don’t have the bandwidth required for anything extra. I used to stress about not giving it my all, but now I’m just glad... — read more

Unfortunately, I’m having health issues and it’s seems likely I’ll need to take a long term leave, and perhaps long term disability. With the coming reorg, I find myself wondering if it’s time to push up my timeline. Worst case for me would be being... — read more 

I would be much less stressed and worried about layoffs if I knew chances out there were good. But they are not, not at all. Most of us are not in the position to be jobless for too long. Knowing that it’s not relatively easy to find a decent... — read more

It keep a goin’ round and round and round and round

Unlikely I know but the company badly needs some juice

We’ve gone from fearing layoffs to hoping for one just to escape the stress. If it weren’t so sad, it’d be hilarious.

Do BK and MN understand that the IT cuts that they’re planning in the US will literally cripple Chevron? It is not just about not being able to hire the talent in India. It’s also how it is IMPOSSIBLE to hire quickly enough in any low cost... — read more

What’s the future with shipping? I’m reading lots about upstream, IT, finance, etc (rightfully so!). Is there a place for our offshore floating assets and ships? How deep will the cuts be?

There is so much mediocrity leading the BU it’s no surprise we’re not where we need to be for a company with all the potential to be a leader in the industry. We do a poor job at hiring the right people. We’re stuck with subpar leadership because... — read more

Do well in a BU, say good things about the function in the center and give them credit for the BU success then you get a PSG 28 job in the function center, keep your empire pumped up and the virtuous circle continues.

Sending out resumes, and hoping for a decent offer. Onshore is a dying company, and I don't want to go down with it. Good luck, Chevron, with finding talent offshore you actually need.
