Dear Noble folks:
There is a lot of snarkiness on this board at times, and I am sorry if this is your first introduction to Chevron employees. We are not all this obnoxious, I promise.
BTW, I hope my comments don’t come across as preachy. :) These are tough times in our industry and in the world in general. I imagine that the transition to Chevron must be particularly stressful and unsettling for you guys, not knowing what will happen to your jobs. We’re in the middle of significant layoffs ourselves at Chevron, and it is demoralizing, for sure.
Try to focus on what is within your control and steady yourselves for what will likely be a bumpy ride. Whatever happens, let’s remember that life goes on. Sometimes a little bit of positivity helps.
Good luck to all — yes, even the snarky folks, because I think a lot of the nasty comments are actually bravado to mask the fear and anxiety that we are all feeling. Well, all except JG and other execs. They’re sitting pretty. #OopsIGotSnarkyMyself!!!
