Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

@-2jph, how 'bout you "STICK that post that you keep repeating right up your sorry butthurt A$$!!!! Those are not "FACTS". That is advice for someone to break policy and cheat, perhaps causing him to lose his severance. You are a liar, cheat, and a JACKA$$. STFU.

You made your point, 2jph. No need to repeat it over and over again. You lose respect and credibility that way.

Again, stick to the facts, just do not "resign" and you can pretty much do whatever you want to. After the 60 days they will terminate your employment (lay you off) and you will get the severance package.

From the SESP FAQ:

"Can I leave the company to accept other work before my planned separation date and still get severance?

You will not qualify for severance pay if you quit your Chevron employment, whether to commence a job with another employer or otherwise. However, your management can within its discretion alter you planned involuntary termination date to accommodate you."

Looks like as long as your new employer is OK with you still technically being a Chevron employee at the same time you work for them you can do whatever you like. Or you can ask Chevron to move up your date.

Again, stick to the facts, just do not "resign" and you can pretty much do whatever you want to. After the 60 days they will terminate your employment (lay you off) and you will get the severance package.

I would proceed with caution if you intend in starting a new job before the WARN period has expired. In all cases, however, keep it to yourself and tell no one. After you bank your severance check, all bets are off. Have a celebration party and invite all the Chevron HR staff.

I'm not sure I would take any actions which could potentially have your severance denied. It has happened before quite a few times. If you can afford it and don't need that extra money, so be it. Take it from someone who has been around a while.

Check the policy. Your severance will be less the time they sent you home until mid-June. So, how can they say you can't take another job? This is part of your severance. The WARN Act states a company can not do this, but it's Chevron, no one will challenge

@H6br6Uh-ypp could have just been a typo, which I am sure you never make

Stick to facts, the only stipulation is that you do not "resign" to accept another job. Take the job, even work for the other company while still getting paid by Chevron, hell for sh--s and giggles even submit to HR the "Potential Conflict of Interest" form and really throw them for a loop.

Agreed. We were told that technically you can't even accept an offer while you're still on the Chevron payroll, but as long as you don't go around telling your old coworkers about your new job, there's no way the company will find out if you don't actually start work.

A job offer accepted is one thing, and your start date is another. Accept an offer, but best start your first day after the 60-day WARN period and you are no longer technically on the Chevron payroll.

You can always just ask your new employer to hold your salary until after the 60 days are over.

Warm period? Lol. Chevroid idiot. I'd rather make better use of a 'warm' period by fishing or playing golf, since its nice and 'warm'.

@nma, surely that's your opinion, but I will rely on the advice given by @hxu. I will wait for the job offer first then ask to come onboard a few weeks later. I don't think they will mind, especially with a good explanation of why.

In general your employer will not bother to do the search or check and verify. Your employer let you go in the first place and it will ruin its reputation by going after the laid-off employees who found and started work within 60 days!

I agree with the previous poster. While on the 60-day WARN period, you are still considered a Chevron employee. Be careful. You may be able to "accept" the job offer. Just try to not "start" the new job until after the 60-day period is up. Talking this over with your prospective employer after receiving the offer (not before) would be advisable. Good luck.

We were told that if you accept another job during the 60-day period that you are still on the CVX payroll then you no longer qualify for the severance package, since you will be considered to have quit the company rather than having been laid-off. Don't know if Chevron has a way of finding out or what the likelihood is that they might, but it is a risk. Probably better to wait it out if you can.
