Job security or job certainty?
Chevron management has no problem trashing people openly
How is this okay? They sit around and share negative opinions about specific employees without any shame. Word gets around fast and now nobody trusts anyone and everyone is scared of being next. That's not leadership. That's bullying, plain and... — read more
Promotion Cycle this year?
We used to do them in June, are they now switched back to March?
Authority is overrated

Dysfunction, Dysfunction, Dysfunction: Bring Back the Chevron of 2010
I have been with this company since 2009. I started when it was HES and watched it transition into HSE (because someone's favorite thought it sounded better). I have worked across multiple parts of the function, including remediation and operations... — read more

Meaning, has anybody heard anything about layoffs lately?

The damage that bad managers leave behind
I have worked for some difficult people over the years, but the two worst managers I ever had were both at Chevron. I am still dealing with the anxiety and stress that came from working under them, and I am not sure I will ever fully recover from... — read more
Reduce processes by 50%...
This top 5 goal is a major change, easily categorized as transformative if anything close to that is achieved. Has anyone seen any metrics / reporting of progress on this? I don't think achieving progress on this goal is realistic without senior... — read more
We the unwilling . . .
To reframe an old adage for the ongoing disasters being inflicted on our companies: “We the unwilling, led by the uninformed, guided by the blind, are kept busy by those incapable of recognizing value-adding results.
Engine is a joke
I love how my project team is in Houston India Manila and BA. How the F are we supposed to accomplish anything.
Building maintenance and general decline
I don’t know if it is general lack of maintenance in HOU150 or a decline in “you see, you own it” reporting, butI’m seeing sinks that won’t drain, toilets that won’t flush, and a tolerance of broken things that would make Goodwill blush. What gives?
What's Next
Anyone have any idea what MW and the Legend of Doom are cooking up next? Benefits are what they will come for next so what are they coming for? Anyone have any insider knowledge? When will the monster retire?
What are they doing with the skills assessments?
There’s a push to complete the skills assessment. What are they doing with them? I don’t trust them with any information. We no longer have a training goals so they’re not upskilling
Compliance Terminations
Anybody notice an increase in compliance related terminations. I have seen both announcements on bulletin boards about disciplinary action. The company is taken against people for various things recently as well as hearing about individuals who have... — read more
Care less and live happy
It’s really so simple. Once you start to care less is when the job gets better. Remember you will be replaced one day whether it is retire, die, or laid off. This company does not care about you more than the next person. Take care of yourself first... — read more
Grow a backbone
I read a lot of posts on here about MW and senior management and middle management and culture and Chevron is the devil. If you feel so strongly about it, either tell them directly or leave. If you do nothing you're honestly worse than you think... — read more
When is Chevron divesting Hess Gulf of America trash assets
When will Chevron simplify its GoA business unit? Too many assets at varying levels of profitability and liability. Some Hess assets certainly qualify for divestment or decommissioning. Note to Chevron LT ….get some NYSE bonus points by reducing... — read more
Out of here
AW in his TH in Asia Pacific is so full of himself. It just goes to show how out of touch the leaders are. Employees, you are nothing but a commodity, like a cow or horse for sale. Imagine telling the entire population who were present that your wife... — read more
Dr-g Testing Policy
Sounds like management is going to start up dr-g testing everyone again to find out who’s using, since all their sellers EOI’d
Character
How much of a lack of character, conscience and morals do you have to be a leader at Chevron? The way it seems you cant have any and only care about yourself. MW and team see all the hardship, chaos and stress they are putting this company through... — read more
HMP Elevators
Hey guys, I had to post because the new elevator system that just rolled out with HMP is awesome. It creates even more chances to run into people from other teams and keeps that great collaborative energy going all day long. Im all in on the open... — read more

Finance is destroying us
15 hour days and weekends. No breaks. Leadership does not care.
Has anyone heard anything about more cuts?
I've been hearing whispers for weeks now, but nothing official. If anyone has any real information about whether another round is coming, please share what you know. The silence is making me nervous.
Why didn’t he retire?
The new head of strategy was supposed to retire after the Hess integration. Why didn’t he? Is it because we don’t have anyone else capable?
CES
Will we ever see the results? Will MW ever address the fact that he's completely lost the workforces trust and that we hate him?
Anyone post that is more than 12 sentences is an AI post
I don't care if the post is anti/pro vaccine, Trump/Biden, pro/anti America, RTO/WFT, pro/anti AI, racist/woke, right/wrong. If you are writing THAT MUCH F-ING TEXT you aren't a real person, shut up, stop wasting the time of people here to read... — read more
A modernization that actually makes sense.
Since we’re soft focused on speeding things up, how about knocking a hole between the two garages so that people can enter the building faster. It would also be safer for those taking the street after 6pm.
Focus on science
As an academic looking at industry, it appears that Chevron’s attendance of petrotech science meetings is way down the last few years. Does this reflect a shift in focus to other technologies (AI?), or just a declining investment in R&D and staff... — read more

Excessive R&As???
What’s with the ethics alert about excessive R&As. Why bother slapping the wrist of teams using budgeted amounts? If my team is awesome, who cares if I give them all of my $500.. what a waste of time
Is anyone hiring?
I've been applying for two months and I've gotten three calls back. Is anyone actually hiring right now or is everyone just posting fake jobs?
