Who is the cost cutter in chief at Chevron? It's seems Executive Management's only strategy is cost cutting and layoffs for the rank and file. Is it truly MW pushing all this or others trying to impress him since he loves a good cut? Anyone know... — read more
Nobel acquisition
Has anyone heard anything positive about the new Russian immigrant manager from Nobel, Sergay SucMenoff?
Is Nobel CVX’s best acquisition ever?
As we approach the anniversary of the Nobel acquisition, it occurs to me this might be the best acquisition ever for CVX. Where would CVX be without NBL reserves and talent? Med assets have been printing money. RBU quietly outperforms MCBU. And it... — read more
RBU Laying Down Drill Rig(s)
Plans to lay down a rig or two. McScuse me?
Obsession with RTO
For anyone who knows executive management or has heard something what is with the obsession with RTO. We proved we can get all our work done from home and people can slack off in office. In Houston there are risks of falling glass especially seeing... — read more
Mixed messages

Ai replacement
Do you think AI will result in just Productivity gains, some job loss, and some new changed jobs? Or do you think millions will end up without jobs? Will engineering jobs be largely gone or underpaid in 10 years? Between that and offshore /... — read more
Leave of absence experiences?
I don't need the comments about "oh yeah the first place I go for advice is the layoff board" or anything like it. I have struggled severely with some mental health issues and I want to explore a leave of absence. I was wondering if anyone who reads... — read more
Chevron and Oxy just a matter of time.............
Buffett buying up Oxy and is now at 30%. I would not put it past him to be behind the scenes talking to Chevron and Oxy CEO's about Chevron buying Oxy. If the Hess deal goes south it might be something that will happen in the next year or two.
2Q FDS townhall
Thoughts? is a re-org/layoff on the way?
CTC idiocy
To ‘reduce’ travel costs CTC mgt want us to book travel costs directly to BU cost codes rather than GO113s. You couldn’t make this s*** up if you tried
Richmond
How much longer until the refinery gets converted to a products terminal? Wonder what untold effects the new taxes will have. Is the city’s cash cow running dry?
You may catch falling glass but come sit in the cafe..
Just stay under the scaffolding, and don’t look up, and wonder at our iconic buildings.
Mikey likes it!
Wow Angola and Australia exploration announced in the same news cycle. Someone in management finally figure out that oil companies occasionally need to explore for new oil if they want to continue raising shareholder dividends?
RTO on The 24
Any bets that MW is praying someone gets destroyed by falling glass so he can lower the CIP even more?
Any news with the new CIO?
Has the new CIO said anything or done any kind of town hall? Is he too busy outsourcing to India to talk?

He’s a big time author. What happened to his post?
RTO Houston
When is RTO?
CES Results
Has anyone seen general CES results? I haven't seen much other than cryptic messaging. Are they really low and no one wants to show it? What's going on?
Will Chevron layoffs be impacted, if this Chevron-related precedent is upheld?

Are we sending work to India? BP does it, Shell does it, Exxon does it. Is it coming ?
Layoffs and CIP
What will MW use this year to justify cutting the CIP and start layoffs? Will the cost of window damage in Houston cut into it? We all know he's going to cut it somehow while boosting his salary like he did this year. Then he'll try to jump into his... — read more

2024 Mid-Year PMP

Houston damage
Does anyone know what floors were damaged? I can’t get any good info on 140 or 150 towers….
Manipulation
The same people who down vote everything that offends Chevron on this site are the same people who manipulate the employee surveys to paint Chevron in a positive light.
When will Tengiz Chevroil start up the new production.
Cash flow long overdue.
Wellness scores
If your group has low scores on the CES for wellbeing, what are your managers doing to address it?
Conoco bags Marathon
Conoco is getting Marathon for about $20/boe proven reserves. A bargain. If Esso ever decides to let our deal go through with the dopes at HESS, we will pay about $40/boe (not including whatever we have to pay Esso...).
Bad manager
I work for a manager who neither delegates tasks nor provides clear instructions, and denies these issues when I try to discuss them. I feel underutilized and want to transfer to another team if possible. I suspect my manager's reluctance to... — read more

Miserable Working Conditions
Does anyone know of management is working to make things so miserable for their employees that they quit? There seems to be few positive points anymore and things consistently get worse. There will be some reason to cut the CIP again while rewarding... — read more
WSJ compares Hess fiasco to Pennzoil suit that sank Texaco
Giant oil companies very rarely fight like this. The loser usually ends up crippled. Let's see.
