Gender Bias in new pay system

A company where you can be lazy and get away with it
I have worked in several companies in the industry. Chevron has some of its own specific issues, but I don't think you can work less and get more pay at any other O&G company. Moreover, lazy people here don’t even have to pretend to work hard. One... — read more

New employee
I have a fidelity auto managed portfolio which doesn’t allow me to buy chevron stock. Is there another way I can register in a stock purchase plan so that way it pulls from my paycheck? Any help would be cool
CVX @ $200
So we can assume that CVX will rise to abnormal levels during this crisis, and then crash back to something more sustainable. The question for many is what will be the peak “sell” point. My bet is it will hit $200 in the next 4 months and then back... — read more

How often do you work a full day and do absolutely nothing?
I’m not talking about the days when you sit in meetings all day, or when you try but get nowhere. I’m wondering how often you have a day where you are at work, but you don’t even lift a finger to try to do any work. I get about 2 of those days per... — read more
