I don’t know about you, but it feels like workplace morale is gone. Bosses and leadership try to be positive but we all see right through it.
I’m ready for EOI now, don’t drag it out, let’s just get on with it.

You supervisor would be happy for you. There are no restrictions on where you work from whatsoever. Most of management is at their second (or third) home enjoying life. You will be given weeks or months of notice in the event it is ever safe to return to the office.
My morale is great since my supervisor has no clue I’m working from home from Barbados. Hint: Teams works great with a fake background and for WebEx my camera doesn’t seem to work due to poor bandwidth.
My morale has been fine, as has that of most of those I work closely with. For me personally (and I suspect this to be true for a lot of people) this has less to do with any sort of confidence in my job security, or faith in the company and how they are handling this situation, and more to do with the fact that I have ridden this ride too many times to let it effect my well-being, performance, or interactions with others as adversely as it may have the first time I experienced a re-org. I see a lot of younger people (folks in their 30's, 20's even) who have already sat through numerous restructuring events in their short careers. My advice for anyone going into this for the first time is to stay focused on your job, keep your personal life separate, and keep your own wellbeing as priority one. Thats all you can do, period. These events can be fickle, chaotic, and random and it is easy to be overwhelmed. I have seen a lot of people let stress and bad morale snowball out of control, and have their career and family life suffer far more than needed. This is a bad situation, and I can only wish the best to everyone.
We should convene another town hall to discuss this.
Management’s “inspiration” In a downturn is - ‘you’re lucky you have a job’. Those who remember that move on when prices come back. Those who don’t complain the rest of their career at Chevron.
They should replace Leland Jordan with Leslie Jordan. BTW, my workplace has great morale - family, dog, flex time, shorts, and occasional adult beverages, like the bloody Mary I had at my breakfast telecon.
Leland Jordan just posted more inspiration for y'all
