Technical management in Surface is not technical and talks in circles. Never commits to anything… we keep doing the same stuff even though we say we want to be builders. 10 years in and I’m done with the frustration. That’s the top issue. Then Amazon... — read more
Return to Office

What's it really like to work for Chevron?
I guess I don't really work for the company yet- I'll be working as a PE intern this summer for my 3rd internship, and I'd like to get hired on full-time after graduation. A lot of family friends in the industry speak highly of CVX, in comparison to... — read more
Chevron is not a good place to grow your skills
When I joined, I was excited to grow my skills and learn. That was one of the main reasons I joined. However, soon I discovered that training is sparse and mentoring nonexistent. I had to figure out stuff on my own which added hours to my workday... — read more

Cafe incident
So yesterday I was in line for the salad bar at 1400 when this admin-type lady comes in, all agitated, and asks to pick up a pre-ordered salad. They workers give her a blank stare and she hisses "it's for Bruce N*** and he is in a hurry, if you know... — read more
When is the IT townhall?
When will the IT townhall be held?
Good advice
For those with exceeds and low raises, you need to be talking to your supervisor about a promotion. If they can’t get you all promo, you need to post for jobs with a promotion. The new system will punish people that are exceeding expectations within... — read more
Ghost town
Is it just me or is 1400 a ghost town today? Seems as though 50% made some excuse to stay home. Chevron take notice......this is RTW week 1.
IT townhall now requires SSO for pollev
The stated reason is transparency? This makes 0 sense. It's a boycott on questions. Our management are such cowards. Don't be a coward Bill. I guess folks who leave should boycott their 2 weeks notice and just walk and enjoy the time off.

If you’re going to force us to be here, can you upgrade the internet? My computer has been performing like 💩💩 for two days now…
Salary and bonus treatment
How did everyone do?
Going back to the office is trauma for a lot of people.
So this is a rant and I'm going to ramble. If you don't want to read it or engage, or if you want to engage in a negative way, I truly appreciate you just skipping this one. Seriously, if you want to engage in a negative way, pat yourself on the back... — read more

Calling out a Spade for a Spade

Overseas Jobs
Man, what a time it was to work overseas making a 50% premium and 30 days off at a time compared to working the normal work schedule. Those days are dwindling and if you didn’t take advantage of it you should be kicking yourself!

What are GMs and Supervisors saying and being told about RTW?
From what I understand LT have been in supervisor meetings about RTW. What sort of questions are being asked and what answers are being given? For example, are supervisors being judged on how many of their employees badge in/out and how often? ... — read more

It seems to me that the attrition has slowed down
Or at least not one of my colleagues has left for a while now. Either that or it just seems to me that the attrition has slowed down because all those who could have gotten a better option have already left?
MW on competitive Salaries
What do you all think about MW on competitive salaries and non-record breaking inflation? To me it was like an old man saying "I used to walk 30 miles in the rain and snow to get to work" kind of response. Im expecting low raises not even close to... — read more
Diversity at Chevron
Honestly Chevron is slowly becoming less diverse if you look at the definition of diverse. Slowly but surely there are fewer and fewer white individuals in many positions. Having many different races represented is great and I support it but if there... — read more
General Managers - our weakest link
My observation is that Chevron is typical in having hard working staff and great supervisors trying to align to corporate strategy outlined by qualified executives. But, in between we have a massive layer of mediocre to terrible entrenched middle... — read more
