Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

@4gzk = the Popcorn Troll. Everyone is Popcorn to him. He lives here and has no life yet everyone else is "butt hurt". My the irony.

3drb+1rDXGvO2: Another confirmed popcorn post...Still butt hurt after all these years eating rice and beans because that his all he can afford with the decline in value of his pension annuity payments. Sad really.

I know all the posts by Popcorn because I know his distinctive style and I live on this site 24-7, this site is my life. Sometimes I call other posters popcorn also by mistake, well, in fact that's pretty much all of the time, but please disregard that, in fact I don't have a clue, but I do live on this site.

Popcorn are you still licking your nutsack wounds from the transition operation after you were s-__ canned ten years ago?

By the way Popcorn, how is that pension annuity working out for you these days? Real dollar value is half what it was I am guessing.

@3gkv+1rDXGvO2...Popcorn is that you, you old dog. Still hanging here. It's been what, ten years since you were laid off?

No, that's incorrect. popcorn was a JB fan and promoted DEI and things like that, if I remember correctly. He had taken the lump sum to pay for some operation to transition? the main issue that he would gripe about constantly is having to spend all of his savings for the operation. I'm pretty sure he/she was one of those who always feels someone else should pay for whatever.

The OG Popcorn was likely anti-vax based on his posting style. Maybe COVID got him.

"popcorn" was a frequent poster some years ago, laid off before the pandemic, he was a Trumper with many conceding posts focused on anyone he considered liberal or otherwise unworthy (e.g., millennials in general). His tag line was "ROTFLMAO keep it up until I can make some popcorn". He was a big advocate on taking the pension annuity and other misguided financial advice. I have not recognized him posting in years (his posts were rather distinctive), but he obviously had an impact on some. ;-)

what does it mean when someone says popcorn this or popcorn that? serious question. I see that a lot on this site

Cadet bone spurs is busy using funds for his own defense, can't help right now.

Lord Orange our savior, please deliver us in the name of the father, the son and the MAGA spirit

Popcorn is after RM

Safe to say OP and several people commenting have no clue what they are talking about.

The evil voodoo has to come top a stop. we are cursed by the spirit fit the DEI witch,.

We can’t continue to expect the buy your way into new reserves… we need an exploration program that can actually find hydrocarbons! Get some Sr managers that understands “risk” is not a bad word. Identity some new targets and drill some new holes.

I am sending a note to MW. He should have definitely consulted with the OP; world renowned M&A expert….psg 21 though.

I worked with Exxon leaders in TCO and they cannot be more frustrated from what they have seen from CVX managers and HR.

They were shocked of the quality of the people that we were trying to promote into freaking key positions.

One of them was saying he has no idea how Chevron can be an oil major and how can Exxon be partners with them unless they keep quiet and let Exxon run the show and collect a pay cheque.

The stories about the security team in Tengiz are horrific. They think they are law and order for employees. They use illegal interrogation techniques and multiple locals and expats complained about mental and emotional torture from these guys. One of them said they have one guy who used to work in anti te---r task forces and thinks every employee is a te------t that he tries to mentally break. We heard these horror stories multiple times and many people complained but CVX had dead ears until things started to creep into law suits, criminal investigations and the media.

If you are an Exxon boss who have seen CVX incompetence, why would you ever want to partner with them in your most promising asset unless you can really put them under full control to avoid them middling into how you can run this business. Exxon is doing the right thing to protect its value and we will have no choice but to comply and eat the humble pie with whatever XOM give us. Which could be nothing.

Good approach, but not all barrels are the same. The future value of Guyana production per barrel is probably higher than any of ours. If Esso doesn’t steal it away, it might be a good deal.
