What I have Learned At Chevron?

Well, today is my last day at Chevron and as I look back over the last 12 years, what I have I learned: If you are going to stab someone in the back, make sure you can blame it on someone else. Tell your manager that they are great no matter... — read more

Year in Transformation Lookback

The new transformation is a huge mistake: One that management will never undo because they all have too much skin in the game of blowing hot air up to the level above. The Chevron Way is terminated. Forget "time to do it right" and focus on the all... — read more 

Not worth it anymore

I don't get how so many people continue to sing praise to Chevron as a great place to work when it hasn't been that for years. I've been trying to find my way out for the past six months because this ridiculousness is not worth it anymore. Why... — read more 

Omicron Variant

The formula for success here

Sometimes I'm really not in the mood for fake smiles, and fake smiles are often valued here more than skills. If someone asked me which qualities are most desirable here and what is the formula for success at Chevron, I would say 75 percent brown... — read more

Working hard was never enough

Tech Ventures Head Run Off

We have an overdue change at the tech ventures company. If you read the press release it is vague about what was actually accomplished by TV in the last decade or two. Can anyone think of anything worth noting? I'm not aware of a single truly useful... — read more

It’s not easy being a contractor either

Aside from the fact that being a contractor at Chevron is generally not the best thing that can happen to you, I think as a contractor I have never felt worse and more despised by direct hires than I do here. Why so much animosity towards... — read more 

Reviews are worthless...

Chevron has gone to $h**. Reviews are worthless. Promotions decided by people who have no knowledge of your success or failures. They don’t care about you or your family. They only care about if you are in their social network. Not about what you... — read more

Have fun and look busy

It seems to be a winning combination of how to avoid burnout and succeed at Chevron. The most important thing here is to pretend to look busy. If you’re not one of those pretenders, expect them to just bury you with work until a total burnout. — read more

This is the future

It doesn't matter what we do. We are like tobacco and coal mining companies now, perhaps worse. Even if we make great profits, we will be hated and the stock price will droop lower and lower. Management will despair and resort to layoffs as their... — read more

No time for side gigs

If this is true, I'm not sure what to think about it: 69% of full-time remote employees say they have a second job, new survey shows. It’s another reason for CEOs to be paranoid about WFH. Second jobs are widespread, a survey suggests. -... — read more
