Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

In other companies, you get hired for a role and you stay in it. If you want growth with better title and higher pay, you move to another company. A chevron, growth really does mean increasing your experience in different roles. Chevron is so segmented that most people can't really keep up with people outside of Chevron where skills are concerned.

@kt - to the upper management, career growth is your ability to gain experience in new roles/locations. Yet, most employees seeing gaining the experience means promotions, increased pay. Yet, then management doesnt pay for the increased experience, so their "growth" is by experience only.

They are halting promotions and are trying to convince you there is still room to "grow"

@gj
Certainly not out loud… it’s bad for the stock price.

@ah Hey you don't say that!

Wow- same people that haven't being doing it now want to focus on it. I remember before 2020 when there were leaders that didn't do it as a directive but because it was important to them. They all left voluntarily and this crop of leaders emerged and have done nothing for 6 years but now want to change. Unreal - Get new leaders that lead and don't follow

They realized that the HESS guys were leaps and bounds better technically and something had to be done.

I've been noticing the same but I thought it was just part of the new PDC process. So there's more meaning behind it than that? I did hear that they're wanting to make more people capable of being able to plug into lots of different spots though. Though that was from an engineer and not a petrotech.

Attrition is that bad. Anticipate another round of departures after March bonus. Ironically, their messaging is tone deaf probably pushing more out the door.

They realized that the younger generation of workers who are left are mostly useless.

They over fired and now have serious gaps that no engine can fix

@OP same in HR
