Money doesnt buy a personality
Fun fact before I forget visiting this site (got a better job elsewhere); my friend did high end catering in San Ramon area. He did a private house and told me “hey buddy, I think I did an event for your company”. Sure enough I opened website to... — read more

If your having a bad day, just remember that MJW sold $51+ Million worth of shares this year. https://chevroncorp.gcs-web.com/static-files/e169f39f-f489-492a-9fe5-258683ebe303
A warning for anyone considering Chevron
I want to say something that might help someone avoid the mistake I made. I bought into all the hype about how great this company was, how it looked amazing on a resume, how lucky I was to be here. Friends and family reinforced that constantly. So... — read more
Law function layoffs
Why is Law experiencing another round of layoffs in 2026 after a previous round in 2025? Why do our leaders continue to demoralize?
Venture Global XOM next purchase. CVX should preempt and make it competitive
Lessons learned from Hormuz conflict is that XOM needs secure LNG and Venture Global is the perfect fit. XOM was slow in January of 2026 where it could have bought it cheap…and most likely paid it off in short term
Open office a place holder for final re-organization?
Like many I am very frustrated by the hunt for a landing spot every morning, and all the noise and confusion that goes with it. Will we get offices again after the reorganization is finalized. That is, is this $hit$how just a holding pattern or is it... — read more
Ex Hess now Chevron survivors please share experiences with Oxy before the big consolidation
Ex Hess now Chevron employees please share with Oxy employees what to expect once CVX purchases Oxy. Any insight on who to outlast and survive?
2020
Was the last year I think the company was a decent place to work IMO. Do y'all agree?
Elevators
I hit the button 9 times just to get an elevator car to myself.. I mean, it takes 10 mins to show up so might as well!
Should Chevron purchase Oxy? Berkshire Hathaway thinks so…
Lots of murmurs from Oxy HQ as to direction and the possibility of some form of consolidation into the CVX umbrella. Berkshire recommends that this transaction occur before 2026 Midterms so there are no regulatory hiccups. What do the CVX veterans... — read more
HMP basically ki-led — props to RB for actually listening to the CES Survey
Just wanted to add my voice here. A lot of the other posts on this board were true. On the positive side, big credit to RB and management for actually listening to the CES Survey and making some real changes. That doesn’t happen often, so it’s worth... — read more
Not Wirth Discussing
Inclusion Summit.
Oxy paid Petro Technicals a very generous bonus! Any chance CVX is still interested?
Why would Oxy pay its Petro Technicals a very generous one time bonus unrelated to yearly goals or performance. Some top onshore and offshore engineers received +60,000 for their efforts.. Your opinions?
Elevators and shirts
I hereby nominate as tribute to the layoff gods... whoever is running the elevator project and whoever designed these stupid 250 shirts. by the gods!
3 days in office starting August?
I’ve been hearing rumors about a 3 days in-office requirement, with Mondays and Fridays remote. Any truth to that?
True CES Results
I haven't seen any true metrics shared from the CES. Just high level messages from leaders saying "we are good at safety" or "there is no trust for senior leaders". Anyone in the know, what were the true results? I have to imagine they were awful!
Severance Package Question - HR are you here?
I don’t care if you downvote me.. but please can you confirm if another opportunity to AEOI with a package will become available again? It’s not bad enough to leave on my own, but I will gladly volunteer if the option becomes available again (to help... — read more
How to sc--w employees via forced ranking
So did everyone get the message that forced ranking will apply, meaning if you’re in a team of stellar performers, someone will still end up in one the bad categories. Way to motivate the workforce! Of course this is all to get those who are bottom... — read more
Am I Alone?
Is anyone else feeling a deep sense of dread and depression about the current state of things here? It feels like the soul has been completely su-ked out of the place under the current direction and leadership. Shifting goalposts, corporate decisions... — read more
Network performance issues
I assume we can thank the brilliance of the reorg for the absolutely abysmal network performance?
Bright future
Chevron signs 20-year power agreement with Microsoft for West Texas data center HOUSTON, June 22, 2026 — Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today announced that Energy Forge One LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, has signed an agreement with Microsoft... — read more
Toilets now flex-space
In order to distract from the decline in maintenance needed to achieve minimal bathroom standards we will be classifying all restroom facilities as flex space. If you find a toilet non-functional simply go to another floor.
Promotion Cycle
I’ve lost track, when is the promotion cycle these days? Supervisor/PDR nomination? Approval? Notification?
Wondering about the next round
Does anyone know when layoffs will resume? I thought we were safe for a while but now I'm not so sure.
How will MW pivot to LNG and Gas? Shell and XOM are looking for gas reserves and LNG
How will MW react to industry pivot toward LNG and natural gas domestically and Asia market specifically? Does CVX buy another company and artificially boost the companies staff as genius like they did with Hess exploration team.
MW approval down to 54% on Glassdoor
That's pretty pathetic. How can you be an effective leader of a massive corporation like Chevron when half the employees no longer respect you. Even DW at XOM has a higher approval rating. Nearly every performance metric and benchmark set by... — read more
Snack-gate: What Actually Happened?
TP&E gets assigned offices and, apparently, the refrigerated snacks vanish at the same time. Honestly, I'd take a dedicated office over free snacks every day of the week, so this isn't really about the snacks. I'm just amused by how often we hear... — read more
IT LT+1
It goes without saying that LC has lost the whole function. Only 10% of the 150 or so people responded to his survey. Hardly anybody shows up to his in person townhalls so they’re just all virtual. I just browsed around that list and also... — read more
What happened with ENGINE
I’ve literally heard nothing about engine in my functions for months. Anyone have insight into it? Is it working? Or is it like agile, and we’ll just all forget it, and it’s associated magical thinking, ever happened?
ATS: Unqualified to lead pilots
Somehow, political maneuvering was allowed to empower ATS to fully control all technology pilots in S&T. They, and CTV sitting on the same floor, don't know their a-s from a hole in the ground, trusting vendors at their word and using CoPilot to... — read more
Maintenance and Cleanliness
Are we making major cuts in these areas too? Things are falling apart and getting nasty! The bathrooms are especially rough! I know when morale gets bad the bathrooms take a beating!
Chevron's Rank - WSJ - The 2026 Best Companies for the Future
The Wall Street Journal evaluates how leading US corps stack up in 6 areas: AI readiness, innovation, talent readiness, financial fitness, resilience and agility. Chevron ranks #185 overall with an Overall Score of 52.5, which is above the Energy... — read more
Upcoming retirements
Besides the obvious MW and MN in the next 12-18 months, who are the others?
Again?!

Lost
Walking through the buildings this morning that has become an endless and never ending corn maze of “improvements”, it dawned on me, Chevron is lost. From elevators, escalators, college dorm style offices, orgs that don’t work, consultants ripping us... — read more
How much wealth is enough to call it quits
Or in other words, what is your number? How much is enough for you to go to your boss and tell FU you won't see me in the office tomorrow. My number if 5M, what is yours?
Great World Cup Atmosphere
Be part of something bigger than yourself and enjoy this once every four years event. It is a privilege to have the World Cup in our backyard
World Cup fan center in the mezzanine
Why is there a massive fan center set up in the mezzanine? What a giant waste of money and time. The office is a place for working, not watching meaningless soccer matches under the guise of finding oil.
We knew it was bleak but doing the math make me even more sad...
Looking at the 146 jobs open today, only 18% are US based and 5 of those US based jobs are mariners and a pilot. We all know the reality, but seeing the actual numbers is pretty sad for a company that once prided itself on its US legacy/heritage.
