New study reports almost two thirds of office workers have confessed to coffee badging. I suspect it is much higher at Chevron. Do a walk around your floor this morning and tell us what percent occupied offices you see. I got 17% in HOU15.
It’s actually just very sad to see something that was great like Chevron sinking into obscurity
Many of the posters on the site worked for chevron for decades and believed deeply in the company. Remember how proud we felt to work for an organisation that we were 100% committed to, with leaders who we felt were inspiring and a future that was... — read more
Not better elsewhere
the problem is not chevron, the oil and gas industry is just a challenging and very uncertain place for a career. Even if a company was very well managed, it would be extremely lean - with possible strong shift to less profitable business at any... — read more

Leave Chevron if you're unhappy here
I'm getting tired of all the negativity from people who work for the best employer in the industry right now. If you think you can do better, just leave already. I just wonder what that "better" company would be, because I sure as he-l can't think of... — read more

Chevron is a slowly failing company made worse by completely demotivated employees
I know there are so many Chevron fanboys here, but none of you can tell me in all honestly that this is the same company it was five years ago, not to mention a decade ago. The complete mistreatment of employees is a newer thing and it will cost the... — read more
CTC raising GA rate???
I’m in a meeting with 7 useless CTC members. They just dropped they’ll be raising rates. They’re now our most overpriced and least effective vendor. Don’t people realize we’re fleecing our core work here?
Simplify the performance review categories
I haven't met a single person that sees any value in the 4 categories we have. It's so odd and weird. Since we need to get better at delivery something like this would be better no? Build Relationships: For leadership, this involves effectively... — read more

Hybrid stays - micro Badging tracking begins in 2024

Does anyone think that the Hess buy may not happen?
What do these ratings even mean?
With the new rating system there is no forced distribution. So is getting 1-2 EE’s the new 2? And then 3 EE’s would be like getting a 2+ in the old system? Etc.. I really don’t know what is normal

Townhall
Execs will keep their high bonus while we get laid off and sh!t on.
Thoughts on the CTC Town hall?
It seems layoffs are coming based on what was said. A lot of good questions asked. What are your thoughts around what was said?
A message to MW and Team
