Does anyone know how many people will go by department? I know its 30% is that across board or more to go in some departments than others...

Definitely some fat to cut in the middle management SCM who are more interested in self promotion and profiling with their yes men around them than truly adding value or being leaders.
@2qsj+1vbYL9sw If ABU SCM were a band, they'd be The Pretenders, but only in the 'pretending' part... the 'producing' part seems to be lost in translation. All of their teams seem to be carrying 70% of bloat.
What was announced at ABU? Can someone share more please?
Anyone who says SCM could not accept a 30% cut with little impact is a liar, but where is the incentive for management to try? Chevron is run by greedy self interested types not those trying to improve.
what about ABU HR?
There effectively is no ABU IT anymore since the transformation back in 2020. It all got shifted back to the central platforms save a handful of roles
They have lots of room to cut in supply chain and other back office functions. Way way bloated and inefficient if you ask me

It will be lower than 30% in government relations, legal and supply chain. Almost zero in operations and wells. It will be very high in finance, IT, asset management and exploration.
I feel this round will be a case of basic % reduction, plus complete departments moving to Engine. If the majority of your "work flows" can be done in India, they will be actively working when that can transition. Technically, every role not one site could go Engine, so the billion dollar question is "where do they stop?" Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the governments in any country are intervening any time soon.
