So far the AEOI’s I’ve talked to are not people you want to leave this company. I know this is my anecdotal experience, but there is a difference between losing people who probably won’t have a job and people who are going to leave a gaping void when they leave. The ones I’ve talked to so far fall in that second category.

@10t, then why are you here instead of your better place, do you enjoy a reason to snivel and whine like a pathetic loser?
Identical to 2020. So much experience walked out the door. In 2015, the best-and-brightest left on their own, sensing that Chevron's future wasn't good. Chevron is no longer an admired or sought-after place to work.
The only people who would AEOI are people who are ready to retire, successful and saved a lot, or are extremely talented and marketable. We lose experience work ethic and talent
Some of the best colleagues I’ve worked with, all in their 30s, are leaving with our without AEOI. They have options and they took the options
They should offer AEOI again
We see this every layoff: The good get going, and the deadwood sinks in place. Why do you think we can't find oil anymore?
Chevron's approach to layoffs is consistent with their broader management failures. They take a "soft" approach to running the business and try to take the easy way out.
The decision to offer-up EOI is rank with adverse selection challenges. Good companies don't offer such structures. They trim the bottom and pay to keep the top.
But of course, it's easier and more friendly to offer people to leave... even if it is worse for the team and business at large.
OP is making the observation that AEOI and EOI just help with numbers, not quality. Without preferential terms, it doesn’t encourage people near retiring to accelerate things. You just get good people who are tired of the madness who feel confident they can get a better shake elsewhere. Or they don’t want to move. That’s a real thing.
OP, I’m not sure what the point of your statement is. Chevron doesn’t care who is left behind to clean up the mess of ENGINE. As soon as we all realize that these days will be easier to digest.
The people I know that are leaving just don't want to move. They're not necessarily anything special. The sun doesn't rise and set with their roles or experience. Chevron will be fine.
A lot of people realize what they are going to lose when I leave. Not only do I bring experiences on multiple levels but I also bring sanity and truth. Truth that upper management never liked but I have been able to be a bright spot to lots of people who have had to deal with n@rccisist “le@ders”! Good luck and there are those around you that get it!!
Nah, I’ve found a mix of both.
The people with the most options are the first ones to jump from the sinking ship. No surprises there. Your experience is not only anecdotal, it is statistically factual
