Chevron management not well thought of

We need to go fully remote
Why can’t Chevron delay indefinitely like other big companies such as Apple and Expedia? They need to just cut everyone out of their misery and try to retain talent by being going fully remote. Imagine what a great morale booster for their team if... — read more
What destroys morale the most here?
It is noticeable that morale has never been worse. Perhaps these last layoffs were an eye opener to what kind of company this is?

We are not an IT Company!!! We need to RTW in person!
We are an oil company and executive management looks at IT as a unnecessary expense. Hence the recent layoffs of IT and the move to everything Agile and digital. Learn to program or get out. For those of you complaining about returning to work, get... — read more

How much time do you have for your private life?
I thought I would never become what I always despised, a person whose own identity boils down to his job only. The problem is of course work/ life balance. I'm just wondering if you have more or less time here for your life outside of work?
Are you planning to leave?
I keep hearing that a bunch of people is planning to make 2022 their last year at Chevron, is this true? I don't see why anybody would want to leave right now considering that this is still one of the best jobs in the industry, so I would be... — read more
