I'm okay if they show me door. But I really wanna stay. Where are y'all?

I can’t change what will happen, and I know I won’t have any influence on the decision, especially when costs, not performance, will almost certainly be the deciding factor in these layoffs. I’d rather save my energy for whatever comes next... — read more 

I participated in a marriage counseling session with my spouse yesterday and will share with you some words of wisdom. If you feel like you have tried everything reasonable to improve things but still feel like you are in a relationship that does not... — read more 

Is it typically your direct supervisor, one level above them or two levels above them? How does it work?

What is the over/under for % of folks who EOI'd? Has the TLO sphere experienced a lot or a little murmurs of folks EOI'ing?

There have not been any WARN notices posted in either Texas or Alaska. Is the company serious about this or just trying to get people to volunteer ahead of the layoffs.

I’d bet money on this. They are deleting messages.

Letting us wait like this, creating unnecessary stress, having the entire workforce worry about our jobs... No way in he-l this is not intentional and aimed at getting some of us to quit. Their goal is to create atmosphere so stressful, so chaotic... — read more 

Who do we know that have gotten notified so far?

How many years of human carnage do you require to get it?

On the day of the lay-off please keep your cool and don’t burn any bridges. You may need these contacts going forward. Just remember it is probably not within your immediate supervisors control to decide who gets laid off. It is likely the next... — read more 

How much of one of your last paychecks have you been pressured to give to UW?

The Houston-based oil company announced it is cutting nearly a quarter of its global workforce by the end of this year. That means between 2,600 and 3,200 employees will be impacted. Company leaders say the decision comes as they look for ways to cut... — read more 

The whole industry is facing rough times, so layoffs are going to be a given for a while. At this point, I’d welcome the severance and use it as a chance to switch into something with at least somewhat better prospects over the next several years... — read more 

Anyone notice in news articles a date for the layoff was given???

IT is a given. Easiest to offshore. They’ll probably go after the hardworking, skilled, and experienced people too. Wouldn’t want efficiency or knowledge getting in the way.

Fire the CEO to control costs!

Just cut the rest of MRO, Shell's and Concho staff and bob's your uncle. I mean, that was the plan all along right ?

Millions spent on consultants making upwards $500K each to tell the ELT the answer to our problems is to cut GA costs. Nothing innovative there. By the way BCG told Chevron management the same thing. Big whoop.

Would there be any benefit to submitting an EOI at this stage, or have the decisions already been finalized?

If the creation of a new org chart is created based on feedback from leadership, why bother recreating when part of the problem is leadership? Filtered feedback and no one hears about the inefficiencies experienced from those doing the day to day.

Can anyone give information on who decides and how it’s determined if an employee is approved for EOI? I am a younger employee and have done well during rankings in the past. I would like to put in for EOI but I am nervous that if I am not approved... — read more 

A meeting starts with a DEI moment?

Layoffs are spreading across industries, with energy companies hit especially hard. ConocoPhillips plans to cut up to 25% of its staff, or about 3,250 jobs. Chevron is preparing to eliminate as many as 9,000 positions this year. A glut of oil and... — read more 

Can someone post the text of the notice that the news says went to Texas employees, please?

Why has a date for the Layoff not been communicated to employees? Why do the news articles state a date of November 10th?

Ryan noted 20-25% but that's an average arcoss the company. IT layoffs will be a much are higher %. If you are in certain groups then you've already seen the contracts being lined up for contractors to replace entire groups and even orgs IT. The... — read more

I am embarrassed at the moaning and groaning from people who claim to be employees. Anyone who looks at this site must think we are a company of sensitive crybabies. Now there is even an anti-vaxxer having another cry a hundred years later. Who... — read more 

Did nexgen actually do anything other than waste hundreds of millions of dollars and su-k at rollout? Last I heard everyone on that project got 1’s and nice differentials to save face. Then were shown the door for that disaster.

I got an offer. It’s not a better job, not better pay, and honestly not even in my lane. But I refuse to sit through this endless uncertainty, with stress piling up until it’s finally over. With a 20-25% headcount cut hanging over us, my chances of... — read more

Chevron Employee here who just went through all the layoffs here. I bet they are going to send IT and other functions overseas. If you are tired of this garbage contact your congressman. It might not help but they need to hear about it.
