Word on the street is that Round 2 is a mess. They started at PSG 30 but leaders couldn’t agree on who got the job and who got whacked. They finally compromise by giving some of them PSG 29 jobs. This made things worse at that grade, so a bunch of 29s stole 28 jobs. It is a fiasco. Our leaders can’t make tough decisions,

they usually wait till end of day in california to send anything important out and usually on a friday.
When will the announcement be made to everyone?
@2tac, don't take it personally. they probably did not know you were a manager.
Tuesday will be telling
I understood it perfectly...
Did the OP say “leaders”? Did I read that right? There are no leaders at Chevron. Just followers.
2jpw: A mindless manager takes umbridge
Thanks for the unintelligible gibberish. Does anyone care to interpret the simpleton's word salad? You can tell the simple-minded from the educated. The simpletons like to post in dumbed-down slang-like code to hide their ignorance. In any event, whatever point they were trying to make is lost.
Lots of top shelf ETC talent took the pre-selection EOI. All the BUs are coming in at 30-35% cuts, so that number must be preordained. As the higher grade managers in the new center push out the lower grades expect technical competency to suffer. A big batch of chefs going gatt charts, with no SME and Indians to do the work. I am sure it will all be buffed up with bells and whistles to sound great to senior management .... despite no meat in the pie.
Impossible. Joe pinky promised to monitor all of this closely.
No surprise. Management takes care of its own. Expect them to squeeze the PSG 26+ SMEs out through EOI to make it look like they made their quotas.
It took them two days to get through the least populated 3 psg. Just wait for the next round of 25-27. And when they get to where most people are at 24 and below will be an absolute mess. Unless then let the Managers go ahead and pick out what there teams already looks like.
Example of self preservation by those who can push it to lower psg’s. Meanwhile they keep rolling out transformational leadership verbiage. This post will be taken down soon as its critical of this ‘leadership’ group, but it is layoff related as lower grades will pick up their slack. They must hope no one will notice.
The 28-30 group is special because most report to MDs. They have made a career of bottom licking and are adored by their masters. They can’t be fired, really. The 27s will have to pick up all the slack.
They shouldn’t have allowed this grade group to bump someone out a grade level lower. This is just an easy out to not make a difficult decision. These same people will likely show how ‘strong’ a leader they are by not showing same accommodation to folks in the lower grades.
Why couldn’t OP have been in the meeting? Is this forum limited to lower PSG mortals?
OP fishing for information?.....i have seen that there a quite a few folks who are fishing for Chevron information these days.....
How does the OP even know this? I doubt anyone who is sitting in those meetings is telling others about what has been going on.
@1pg Did you mean lack of progressive thinking? The OP’s point was the inability of leaders to make tough decisions and think progressively in the senior leader level selection event (psg 28-30)
@gbm, Winning in all situations involves decisiveness thinking. It’s the progressive thinking that has us all in the current situation.
I just want to know if they will actually let the bad leaders go. You know, the ones who EAP and Ombuds hears about all the time and who have been the subject of multiple hotline complaints. The outcome of this round will be very telling.
it would be funny if it weren’t so sad.
winning in any environment-only if the environment serves the leaders best and if the environment does not involve decisiveness and progressive thinking.
Great leaders committed to making the tough decisions.
I am not at all surprised to hear this. Wonder how well the “inclusion counselors” are working out. We were told that they contemplated using outside consultants to serve in those roles which would have been better and more objective. Legal and HR probably decided against that when they realized an outsider would see how effed up and potentially discriminatory their selection process really is.
