Those of you who might frequent downtown building in H-town might have noticed today that crew were working in the second floor to set up more tables. Sounds like everyone will be back in office before the Thanksgiving.

Has anyone heard who got selected to what roles? I am hearing they have 5 or 6 jobs that they cannot fill. We should have been notified by now.

Rolling out second week of October m

I am like WTF?

I have been fighting with them for 2+ weeks to rollover my 401K. 6 phone calls, each gives different answers. Oh, I need two days to liquidate this. Oh, I need two days to liquidate that. Oops, we didn’t consider this or that. Finally on last... — read more 

Who is working successfully in an exotic location far from home and office? I know a lady who left her Houston apt and is working from Scotland. She is up late, obviously. I heard about some San Ramon people who have Maui condos. Others?

DP….gone. Is HSE better off??

I was laid off 2016. I have maintained my pre-65 health insurance as a positive benefit. I have also been contributing to life insurance premiums as part of that package. I just turned 60 and my premium went up about 30%. To me, sunk cost in... — read more 

Curious to see if anyone else is seeing less flexibility in their work schedule (such as 4/10 not being honored) or very strict office hours. Seems like the maximum flexibility that was spoken about repeatedly has gone by the way side.

RM has had her job for about 4 years. She’s wrecked the HR group. She has done nothing to hold a group of awful leaders accountable - HR for sure but also enables DP’s mess. There isn’t one thing can point to that is better under her watch. Maybe... — read more

If you read the Corp Exec bios, most were hired by Chevron. There four or five Unocal alumni and only one heritage Texaco. The Texacoids have essentially been run off and kept out of management. The Chevron people always looked down on them.

Curious what most folks who post here regularly go to for their news. No explanations needed, just post your news source!

Get ready, a lot of disappointment in the HR PDC. They are trying to shuffle as many jobs as possible to create movement, but the managers and PDRs do not know the capabilities of the employees. Far fewer promotions are being approved and the "lets... — read more 

When compared to our other integrated peers, we don’t talk much of our Chemicals portfolio which is delivering higher returns than rest of CVX especially the petrochemicals and Oronite BU.

$9.5 billion, sold to ConocoPhillips. I though MW told us that the Permian was the answer to everything - why is Shell getting out?

Any truth to the rumor that sjv will be going through yet another reorg? 50% drop in production without a commensurate reduction in opex. Town hall the other day hinted at drastic measures. What's coming?

Just wanted to provide some perspective to you Chevron lifers who seem to think this place is the pinnacle of employment. Now that I’m with chevron: Had my bonus almost cut in half. Lost 2 “personal” personal days PTO Have worse health... — read more 

It is sad that Chevron doesn’t do failed leaders a favor and fire them. If they did they might go on to more successful careers at places where they fit better. Instead, Chevron puts their career on permanent pause and keeps them around another... — read more

Has anyone worked at Chevron Phillips or know anybody that works there? Is this a good company to work for? Good compensation? How often are the layoffs there? Thanks I know they are a JV with Chevron and Phillips 66

nothing ground breaking plastering the word "renewables" all over the place some doubts on the carbon stuffs what does everyone else think?

I consider it, if it's available and competitively priced. I usually end up at Costco or Shell. What about you all?

Believe me, I don't have any strong opinions on the matter, but I have to wonder now how all the anti-vaxxers are going to handle this (also, how do you 'weekly test' WFHers?). I also have to wonder how this has any impact when 80+% of the company... — read more

Chevron to sell Eagle Ford. Nobile’s Denver basin is next. Then the Permian. You don’t need the overhead of a major corporation to factory drill shallow wells. The question is where will the moneys be reinvested?
