Probably not the right forum but…. I got laid off a while back and kept retiree health coverage and life insurance. About to be 65 and move to Medicare, thank God. I’m keeping life insurance however as the cost is pretty good right now. It will... — read more
Chevron Culture 2026
I am not the OP but I agree, this needs to stay on top. The original is posted multiple times below. With nearly 15,000 views, it is definitely resonating with personnel. You don't have to be in HSE to know exactly what this poster is talking... — read more

https://chevron.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/jobs/job/Houston-Texas-United-States-of-America/Strategic-Workforce-Planning-Lead_R000068323 It’s smart that they would wait until after making sweeping changes to the workforce to bring in someone to develop a... — read more
Downward spiral
Next is time tracking… but again. Rules for thee, not for me.. Fk all the execs bringing this sht forward for control. It’s not about productivity or collaboration. It’s control.
PMP
Wait…so we’re going back to a single performance category with “5” differentiated ratings? Like 1, 2+, 2, 2-, and 3? Sound familiar?
Houston unassigned and RTO 4 days
Is Houston completely unassigned seating now in both towers? If so, brutal to absorb that and RTO 4 days all at once. How is it going for everyone? Strong reactions?
Unassigned work
Meeting literally started with ‘we know there are strong feeling, but try to have a productive mindset.’ Translation. We know it’s fkd but we don’t care. Get in line, worms.
HR We have a problem
These layoff instruction documents are like the Chevron incompetence gift that keeps on giving. Does HR do any quality control on their instructions? Maybe the layoffs/offshoring should have started in HR so they could experience their own... — read more

Ergonomics went out the window … RIP
Manila, Argentina, engine don’t have RTO: they are still hybrid. Why? What’s the point in the US to have a free for all “find a place” seating? New spaces are GREAT if you do not care about any ergonomics whatsoever. When are 1500 office workers... — read more
SHOW ME DA $$$$$$
MW lets share these financial results and get the board to vote yes for 2.0 Bonus. It’s the least you could do
A question for the new hires about the future
After being here a few years myself, I'm curious about the perspective of people who joined more recently. Do you view Chevron as a company where you can genuinely build a lasting career? I think the expectations are just different now than they used... — read more

When will we pass this painful kidney stone called MW?
Trump Meeting
Trump's White House meeting of oil execs on Friday to discuss Venezuela just showed the massive difference between Exxon and Chevron. For starters, Chevron's CEO didn't bother showing up, which was an absolute disgrace. Second, when the press was... — read more
Trump, 79, Accidentally Reads Marco Rubio’s Private Note Out Loud

RTO is a sh-tshow
And it's by design. I almost have the feeling that they enjoy making us jump through hoops, throwing all kinds of obstacles and inconveniences at us just for the heck of it. Productivity and performance be damned. Losing top performers, because they... — read more
RTO Applies To Everyone Except Those In SR
I have come in the office every day this week in Houston. My co-workers in finance located in SR have not come in the office one day this week. What gives?
Chevron Culture 2026 (I agree with the OP, this needs to stay as a top topic)
(original post is 11 down) I have worked for three companies before this one. Each had its flaws, but each, in its own way, understood something basic about decency. When I came to CVX, my fourth, I was told, again and again, that the culture was... — read more
Unassigned seating… except for leaders.
Welp, looks like another ‘rules for thee, not for me.’ ‘Select’ leaders will have assigned spaces for ‘business continuity’ It would be bad to give them a widdle inconvenience. Poor babies.
Roles reduced or eliminated in US
In 2026, which job roles will be eliminated or reduced in the US and staffed in other (low cost) geographies? Scrum Master, RTE, Product Owners, Analysts? Interested in opinions here.

HMP
I’m really struggling to adjust to the no assigned seating. It’s really awful and a big downgrade to my quality of work life. This + 4 days in office has me seeking new jobs away from Chevron. But I guess that’s what the wanted
What's happening with layoffs?
Not many mentions lately, is that a good sign?

How does MW and MN still have a job?
If you look at performance metrics over the last 5 years, we haven’t been number one in any of them compared with the other LTIPs. In most instances we’re in the middle or at the bottom. Can’t help but chuckle when MW, MN, and the other ELT members... — read more
Why is everyone going to Exxon?
I just perused my LinkedIn and noticed yet another Chevron contact is moving on to Exxon. This has to be the third person in a month and I don't have a ton of contacts. I don't think I've seen anyone make the move to Exxon before from Chevron (I'm... — read more

Execs are he-l-bent on losing every competent person
We’ve been shedding truly skilled engineers like there’s no tomorrow. I’ve lost several exceptionally talented people on my team. It really boggles the mind.

Is there anything positive at all for US employees at this company outside of having a job? I know the boot lickers will all say be thankful you have a job and accept gratefully every crumb they throw to us, but there is literally nothing to me to... — read more
Venezuela
It looks like Chevron will be the largest benefactor of the change in Venezuela. The only company that stayed after Chavez kicked out all the other companies. Will those companies lay claim to their stolen assets? Thoughts?
