Dear 2kgv... My my! Such a tough guy with a vocabulary of someone that undoubtedly wants to be the roll model for the oilfield trash stereotype. Take some of your own advice when it comes to acting ALL BAD behind a blob site's anonymity or post your phone number and we can continue the conversation.
And with regard to math... $942 x 52 = $48984. Today's dollar has nothing to do with it other than prove that CVX wasn't very business savvey to be fronting 16 yr interest free loans. On another math front to prove the point, assume a theoretical average $1000 loan x an equally theoretical 70k employee base at ChevronTexaco merger. Shazam... That's $70mm in 2000 dollars. Compound that as an investment and it would probably be a good nest egg to pay off the ESP severance or cover a fraction of the poor MCP performance of late.
Including details of the original loan agreement is quite valid when it comes to deductions. Get over that one!
BTW... I retired under the 2016 ESP so you can drop the vibrado regarding millieals, etc.
Give my regards to JW the next time you report out what a loyal chevroid you are/were. I must have really touched a nerve with the opener about breaking piggy banks and/or accusing you of being in HR. Rest easy tough :)
