@4gxe, it's so abundantly clear that Chevron is not a real EEOC company. It's so evident they discriminate against employees because of their age that the example you cited had been seen time and time again. They don't give a sh--.

I applied for a job that I was overqualified for, as I had worked in that group previously. At the end of the round, the job was not filled. It was posted again in the next round and filled with a younger employee with no qualification for the job. They even said, they don't know why they were put in the job, as it was something they had never done. You tell me that this isn't manipulated and they know who they want to go and who they want to stay.
Yeah, I was an incumbent for my role, and the company chose not to fill my position nor anyone else on our team (the group was eliminated.
It sucked because as an incumbent you must select your current role in the ROM, as it cannot be deleted. At least I was fortunate enough to see it coming and lobbied for another role, but I feel bad for all those other people that chose my position without knowing the inside scoop.
There really weren't any positions that were truly "open" this time around. We had already scraped the barrel last year with Alpha and Tiger. Almost every listed position in ESP had a strong incumbent. I feel like the logical thing to do is to just send people to the house without going through a 4 month game of musical chairs. Exxon doesn't do this sh--. You never hear about them having to lay off 4000 at a time because they chop off their bottom 10% every year, so I'm told. Different mgmt. philosophy.
Sometimes, the open positions that were suddenly closed could have happened to allow a younger person on the "left standing" list to be given an "internal job". It was the OPCO's intention from the start to skew the demographics of those being let go. They want to cut the older workers but have to deal with the demographics stats to avoid lawsuits. They include younger workers and protect classes in the original layoff lists but after the lists have been prepared, the older workers are let go and several younger lesser paid folks are afforded an "internal job" that bypasses the more rigorous selection process. Typical Chevron Way tactics.
To make sense of a process, you have to presume there is logic in the way it rolls out. But ROM/ESP is nothing but chaos. So what's there to understand? We have to learn to move on.
I don't understand why they would "Open up" positions that aren't really open. Why not just list the positions that are actually open? That way we would post for jobs that actually exist.
