So what happened to the little stickers for our displayed badges to prove it ok not to ware a mask? I have been to work several times over the last few weeks but have heard nothing about it.
Amazon doubles base pay.
Will this accelerate attrition at chevron and O&G overal?
Townhall and any layoff talks?
What do you all think MW will have to say this week? I hope no layoffs but I always worry about MW getting desperate for another round of layoffs since he seems to enjoy them. I'll be listening for more code words like "transformation" or some new... — read more
Remote Work Double Standard (A Tirade For Fellow Cynics)
Executives want everyone back at the office. Putting aside the meaningless allusions to “collaboration,” which wasn’t happening in offices prior to Covid, they’re not entirely wrong to want people back there. The double standard comes from the... — read more
So Long Colors Program - How Could We Have Spent So Much Money On This Stuff?
I am so proud of my wells supervisor. Wednesday of last week, my supervisor took a vote and then passed a small trash can around. We were all asked to toss our colors bands in it as it was one of the biggest waste of time and money. Everyone... — read more
Raises as Chevron v. Shell
I work at Shell and we just learned what our raises are for 2022. The vast majority are getting ~2% while a few whose performance ranked "higher" may be getting 4%. Last year we ALL got 0% so most people have gotten, on average, ~1% increases over... — read more
Ambitious, but still here?
The fact that someone still works at Chevron does not mean that he or she lacks ambition. Whoever claims otherwise is simply wrong. There are still many people here who have enviable talents and great skills and who are very ambitious, but, despite... — read more
RTW Protest
So what do you think will happen if we just stay home and continue working? Don't really think they'll fire us all. But will only work if no one shows up on the 14th.
Covid & Return to Work
Anyone else think MW is mad about that 1.5 bonus and wants us in office so their can be an excuse for 2022 to be .75 due to a bunch of Covid Deaths?
RTW
Okay you want everyone back to the office.... Leadership all the way up to the b--ch MW should be in the office 100% of the time!
Why should we care about "field" workers?
I keep seeing field workers talking about how tough they have it compared to the city slickers. I don't see why we should care about what GED red.necks have to say. You wanted to get a manual labor job so you could spend your free time drinking bud... — read more
Houston Threat Level
Houston is still in the highest transmission threat level… why are we rushing back into the office? We just posted record results so we know WFH is working. So much for basing RTW on science and decreasing trends… and thanks for the 1 week notice… — read more

IT Talent Management??? Or Outsourced
Who saw the strategic focus area of building a powerhouse of IT talent? Are we really still on that fake bold goal? Chevron IT doesn't pay enough for IT to be a powerhouse of IT talent. I'm not sure what that Talent Manager is saying half the... — read more
Retirement Healthcare was a Shock
If you are staying at Chevron to get your points for healthcare, it is not worth it. $1200 a month for the retirement Kaiser CA HMO for married couples and almost a thousand for the medical PPO. Too bad Obamacare forced everyone to get insurance. It... — read more
RTW
so HOU back 2/14…. Yes let’s go back when it’s in the thousands instead of November when it was in the hundreds. More fantastic logical CVX decision making
Happy Valentines Day
I am headed on vacation for the next 10 days. See you on valentines day.
1.5 is nice and all but…
Anyone who is elated over their CIP just put a price on their self worth and dignity and proved that the golden handcuffs still work. No doubt it’s nice for the short term and good for personal cash flow but let’s see how we feel after the next PDC... — read more
Exxon profit tops estimates as oil and gas prices soar; shares rise
Exxon knows how to under promise and over deliver, to the delight of investors. They trounced analysts estimates by almost 10%. The stock is up sharply today and has outperformed CVX during the past couple years. At Exxon if you fail to deliver... — read more

We went from the "Chevron way" to "My way" with MW
After watching what he did to Downstream, everyone knew that when MW was promoted to CEO, Chevron was going to be a lot less fun to work for. The cost-cutting and the consolidation we could put up with, what no one predicted was how he completely... — read more

R&A system is terrible
The R&A system has been broken as long as I have been at the company. It is id--tic. It is unevenly applied with award sizes all over the place. People split the atom and get nothing. Others present some powerpoint slides and get $1000. And why... — read more

Changes Since MW took over
Most people I talk with seem to believe that things at Chevron have changed for the worse for employees since MW took over and things were much better in the past. Some of this is industry issues but what changes have you seen that have happened... — read more
Good news from our CDO!
Josetta is finally in-tune with us. We are understood! "I need to stay current on issues faced by our...white male colleagues." Things are looking up for middle aged white men at Chevron again. I think I will buy that new Ford pickup after all... — read more
Interest Rates Rising
Is anyone contemplating leaving next year due to rising interest rates? Now is the time to start watching your Lump sum value!
Myanmar exit
After decades strongly supporting a very corrupt govt, Chevron is bailing out now only to avoid the embarrassment of being one-upped by Total who are typically the least sensitive IOC. I imagine Bangladesh will the next at some point.
Future of the Oil Industry
The price of oil is at a seven year high and keeps going up. One would think that is great for the oil industry and it is. However, the political climate has changed that want the world to transition to "Green Energy". One of the requirements for... — read more
The great resignation
I keep hearing that people are planning on resigning from Chevron after bonuses are paid in March. I know many that are actively recruiting. IT, HSE, and HR seem to be the most likely to leave quickly as they have transferable skillsets. Anyone... — read more

It's the Economy Stupid
The mid-term elections are fast approaching and the economy is suffering primarily due to the government response to the pandemic. Voters are unhappy. Watch the narrative change soon, so that the pandemic will actually end this March allowing the... — read more
Pre-65 retiree (laid off) medical premiums

Turn off your email at work?
I am an email fanatic and check mine almost every time a new email arrives. Like to keep the inbox clean and tidy. I've had a couple co-workers who basically don't do email. They don't open the inbox unless someone calls them or comes to their... — read more

They don't care at all what employees think
I used to think that Chevron cared about what employees thought about this company, but now I think that it doesn't matter to anyone anymore. Nobody seems to care about the reputation of this company anymore. Perhaps I'm wrong?
What's the most desirable skill at Chevron?
I'd say 'managing up'
Corp Factor for CIP
Anyone care to share their thoughts on the over/under for the CIP corp factor for this year. I’m thinking 1.3…
