Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

@1srz, Do you have "citations and math" to back up your point or do you just demand that others come up with that? Please let us know how the "alleged" $79 billion in approved stock buybacks (provide link) relates in any way, shape or form to your compensation or lack thereof. Please provide Citations, math, links, whatever you have.
We'll all wait. I will get some popcorn.

“ Leave. Leeches like OP are why this company is strugglin”

Please, with citations and math,,, explain to us how $79 billion in approved stock buybacks is any fu--ing way related to badging. Go ahead, genius. We’ll wait.

If you wanna see how basic the badge tracking system is. You don’t have to look hard to see the training video. Data can’t be exported. Badging tracking even in the US isn’t perfect let alone international and forget it if you are going to the field. I mean our computers are tracking location too - that might be a better indicator. But honestly stop worrying about where people are and focus on if their work output is moving the needle. I also wish they’d just come out and say that badging is a real estate and tax issue and not the BS of collaboration etc.. I still spend 90% of my day in teams meetings at my hotel space for the day and like more than half the people are doing the same thing. Myriad of reasons why not the least of which technology in meetings rooms is a crapshoot in HTown at least.

If an employee has a reputation for acting like a kindergartner, then the manager should be working with HR to get them separated from the company.

A huge part of the reason why we’re in the mess we’re in now is because of first level supervisors and managers not being willing to have hard conversations, give bad performance reviews or begin the termination process. HR doesn’t make it easy either and is perfectly happy moving the loser to a new role instead, but it has to start somewhere.

@1wxm+1vQ8cmlE: That is not how the supervisor attendance dashboard works. It looks at your assigned location. It’s a flawed concept for multiple reasons, this being one.

Lol at people who actually believed @nvs+1vQ8cmlE . Badge tracks international offices, so if you were “travelling” internationally and have not badged in any office that’s something else.

Unfortunately many, but not all CVX employees have earned the reputation of behaving like kindergarteners, so therefore, have to be treated thusly. It's unfortunate for those who actually work for their paychecks. Perhaps this layoff will clean out most of that chaff.

The situation highlighted by @nvs+1vQ8cmlE perfectly illustrates the increasingly appalling ineptitude of our senior management who come up with these absurd policies.

However you feel about hybrid and WFH, put yourself in our colleague’s shoes. This is someone who is making sacrifices and working long hours to help CVX succeed, and because of a mo--nic badging policy, he now has a permanent record of a conversation with HR.

If this doesn’t concern you, I don’t know what will.

There is a way to hold employees accountable for performing that doesn’t involve treating us like kindergarteners. Honestly, at times like these I am embarrassed to even share with friends and family what happens at CVX.

Managements ineptitude, lack of accountability, and fecklessness is OP has this approach. MW, MN, BK, and EB are responsible for the poor decisions, poor execution, and poor morale.

Leave. Leeches like OP are why this company is struggling.

I do not want to be in HR record, the future decision makers "may" use that as a flag as part of culling people - it may not be the deciding factor but it could be something they can look at.

Coffee badging folks need to understand that the badge has a date TIME stamp. It is very easy for IT to create a report to show a "time window" in the office with the on-premise system.

The worst part is even if HR clears you after the fact, the HR meeting record stays in your personnel file. Get more than a couple HR file entries and you are red-flagged as a problem employee. Not good with layoffs ahead.

Badge tracking has been a nightmare. I traveled for three weeks straight (two internationally) then took a week vacation. Then HR had the gall to flag me for non attendance for four weeks. I literally spent 20 days away from my family working 12 plus hour days and then had to file a report and meet with HR explaining why I hadn’t badged in.

Talk about a morale ki-ler.

If you don't want to work here raise your hand for the severance. There are more than enough of us here that would be grateful to have your position checked off the list.

Coffee Badgers will be the first to go. There are cameras everywhere. My team is ridiculously busy and already understaffed. While the morale is horrible we are paid professionals. While we may not be inspired we care enough about our team to get the job done. The biggest problem is team members jumping ship as uncertainty is unbearable for some.

So pathetic to think that toiling away at clown car of a company is somehow virtuous. A place that values you so little, they’re going to force to apply for your own job as they contemplate offshoring it to India. You’re confusing “work ethic” and “su---r”. Not to mention half of what we do is bureaucratic fluff, hating it went away tomorrow no one would ever notice/care. It’s like taking pride in digging holes and filling them back in because someone told you to

Everyone I work with is absolutely swamped with work. We don't take Fridays off, we work ends, travel frequently, and work long hours. And they have the nerve to give us trouble about not badging in enough because we are all out taking to other companies and actually making money. The company has really lost its way. It's not the same place I started at 20 years ago. We don't focus on making cold hard cash anymore.

Must be nice, while the rest of us are working our butts off because we are so short staffed and actually have work ethic.

No self respect. Children, go back to kindergarten please and try life over again.
