Interesting round 2 results and some of the names that didn't appear on any of the lists, especially IT.

The CIO says we have great attrition rates overall even though one of the GMs quit cause of this upcoming S-Show likely. Does he mean voluntary or involuntary attrition? Cause this year it will be hammered Dog-S. mo–ns. Maybe Alexa can be the next CIO, would check the diversity box and would have more brain power then this clown.
GM of Business Engagement?! F'ing mo–ns! More BCG c-ap infiltrating our company from the outside in. How about GM of non-technical r—ds?!
JG is gone, along with SN in IRSM. I welcome these changes. SG was a good leader, and not many were used to the german style of leadership. He was abrupt and condescending, but he got stuff done.
@9xvc+163QJCp0 True & JG is going to burst a vessel.
Anyone noticed that IT invented the GM of Business Engagement position? So much for prioritizing technical talent. Every IT FLT member got a job who wanted one. IT PLT favorites will keep jobs regardless of competency and steal jobs from Round 4. SG is onto bigger and better things because he is smart enough to know a sinking ship when he sees one. CIO will be out in two years since IT won't get all the ImagineIT savings it promised JG and operational reliability will go down the toilet because the "foundation" is outsourced. AG will be the next CIO.
If you think one IT FLT member, even if most innovative and connected to business leaders, matters at all to Chevron... wait until next year. He’s not doing anything today but trying to understand ImagineIT like everybody else who is confused. They’ll get the costs cut because JG wants it. Next year, you’ll start to see the impact when more and more people leave. CIO will say we are OK, because the strategy is to outsource everything again. It is a shame that we even have that many PSG 28 positions announced. There are many other companies managing contractor companies who get paid less than half as much. No wonder SG is leaving. The guy does not have that in his DNA. If Chevron wants to give him more than double our salaries to leave, why not. Smart decision IMHO.
@3dii - He is absolutely right on this history of it.
Wrong on the FWEP part, that team is garbage, built alot of dumb sh– for UC that nobody uses. My buddy works on that team and even he knows their products are a sh– show and no engineers want to use it. Also, bold must be a relative term bro. Bold in Chevron is a dinosaur in any other company, but i suppose thats the best we will get. Too bad he is on the autobahn out of here.
@3yjc, you might be one of those ETC r—ds that screwed up that delivery group or a clueless TSS planner awaiting layoffs. If you know the history of how he brought in those contractors, it dated back from ITC business analytics to cnaep to upstream IT. He handed that gift over to ETC because the previous useless CTO needed a win on his belt, just to see them screw it up when they started building all the heavily centralized junk that nobody uses. Field workflow mobile apps and everything good that IT actually produces were as a result of the guy being bold and pushing the dinosaur of an organization along.
Are the initials of this German IT Exec guy, “S.G.” by any chance?
@3dzl those eastern Europeans were actually part of ETC and had nothing to do with his organisation or decision making.
He also owned the IT business plan, and was the one who suggested to JG that ImagineIT should happen and we should cut whatever amount we are cutting today. So in a sense, yeah, he s—s and is the reason we are going through this. The planning group was under him. He did the IT cost benchmarking work, and they knew those numbers. those plannings are the also people who are at the most risk of not getting a job in October. Cut and bail. Cool.
IT might be wasteful, but he was not the culprit of waste. I remember his unbeatable $30/hr Eastern European developers who delivered great stuff for CNAEP. If anything he was probably the cheapest IT leader that you will meet at Chevron.
I remember him being great at wasting money and claiming he saved millions in data science dollars. Any chance CVX needs a Commodity It Officer (CIO)?
If you think this is a good leader who left Chevron IT, just wait until you see him take others with him. High flyers attract high flyers. The domino effects will be seen with each round. Check back here in November.
Hoping some of the incompetent managers under the TSS guy will leave too or get cut in R3.
Joe is hot and has great hair.
Glad to see the TSS guy gone... the rudest guy in upper management. He is not as great as he thinks.
I heard SpaceX or Microsoft for the German guy. Some VP role I understand
The German is on to bigger and better things. IT can’t even publish a f—ing org structure in a timely manner, much less digitally transform the company.
@1mvm. I am not surprised. A smart, competent, disruptive, direct, results driven, white German guy have no business in CVX and I am surprised it took him so long to get it. CVX is not designed nor ready to have these kind of leaders. He would've been a perfect replacement for Billie the boy but I guess the "diversity" play and politics worked as intended. Some things never change at CVX and never will.
He will do very well in Silicon Valley where he truly belongs.
No one cares about IT except the IT dorks that post here.
@1bpy - the old leader of TSS? He’s leaving Chevron. Sent out an email yesterday. Don’t blame him for wanting out.
likely EOIs that haven't been announced
Who did you expect in IT and wasn’t named?
New Chief Analog Officer
