Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

For those of you who survived the last two years of layoffs, don't go resting on your laurels so quickly. Go back in your memory to those weeks and months where you lost sleep worrying and praying to God to keep your job. Those dark days are not quite over. No time to be laughing it off like you just dodged a bullet. You may have only received a brief respite to catch your breath and reassess your financial situation. Better take the present to plan for your future with Chevron. These could be your last weeks and months. At least take it that seriously this time.

5ehy, Wow, you are so right indeed. The grammar policing on this thread is ridiculous and shows that no one actually has a legitimate rebuttal, and the post being picked on is more truthful than not. After all, who in God's name would accidentally hit a key twice?????? My Lord!

To 2qnu, making the cut was a random combination of age, pay, group, politics, and head count. I personally know of several outstanding people who were laid off and some real d---beat slackers who stayed. It is often just a matter of chance.

2bbe - 'Do yourself a favor and go to the store and buy yourself a a clue. Or don't - your choice.'

Then this guy goes off at someone else for their grammar and punctuation.

Only at Chevron.

Actually, BBE is correct about one thing. new grads are not likely to surf these types of sites. Don't believe that? Ask one. You most likely know someone who is a recent graduate. And if they did, they would know the nature of the comments coming from people who didn't make the cut and got let go. Do you think that all new grads are not smart enough to figure that out?

That would be like going to MSNBC for news.

2vls, I am not the poster you are insulting hiding behind the safety of your keyboard, but most readers find childish and cowardly anonymous posters on this board like yourself not amusing, but quite miserable and pathetic. i.e. - you say finding someone else "not happy" is amusing. Just for the record.

What's the deal with people repeating the same posts from other threads and using it to start a whole new thread when it has already been beaten to death in other threads? I've seen this same comment in many and it didn't make much sense then and still doesn't. Is this the Dead-Wood butt-hurt guy striking again? What would an engineering graduate be surfing a layoffs website for anyway? I know I never did when I graduated a few years back. I was looking for who was hiring, not laying off. Just a thought. Cheers!

@1uic, (one and the same as -1zcj and -1qlp), Wow, your narcissistic patting yourself on the back is quite the entertainment source, however the message is 100% false.

NEW GRADS DO NOT FREQUENT THIS WEBSITE- period. They haven't even heard of it. I know many and talk to them frequently. Do yourself a favor and go to the store and buy yourself a a clue. Or don't - your choice.

PS. take an English course if you ever get a chance. Your grammar, choice of words and misuse of punctuation is so pathetically incorrect, juvenile and assuming that it's laughable and you're embarrassing yourself. Most people don't care to read poorly written posts by obvious "kiddie wannabe's" such as yours and move on to something else, as I did.

@O1c2jAB-1qlp -solid gold.

1ytw - Your contribution is astounding! Do you have any other deep insights to share? Any further advice you can offer will be appreciated by all. Hee Haw !

What a loser repeat plagiarized post by the same JackA$$ simpleton who copies other posts all the time and has no original thoughts of his own. To begin with, young, optimistic, passionate, career-minded graduates are not reading this "layoffs" site along with you, loser. Because of that, they will never see your pathetically inaccurate and misleading whining rant.

I concur if the statement provided above. Stay way from chevron if you are planning to have a long term career. You will be in the chopping block if you are at the age of 45+ during hard times.

I disagree. If you are looking for a stable career, look elsewhere, but if you are looking to get your foot in the door in the oil and gas industry, Chevron is a great place.

If you are looking for a long time career that will reward you for showing up and provide you pats on the back constantly, Chevron will be able to fill all of those roles, except the long time career part...

..seriously, "Pays for your MBA" then lays you off...what a horrible place

Results? No problem, Chevron values you for being you and everyone knows how awesome you are, who needs results when you are awesome?

"Ask not what you can do for Chevron, cry about all the things Chevron should be doing for you!"

"Stay away from this company".....stay away from this industry....Change your major why you can. It may require an additional semester or two but it will well worth it. This industry will not provide you a career opportunity. Those days are long gone. Nothing but a layoff factory.
