HR was planning on a 10% workforce reduction in 2021, however too many psg 20-24s are leaving on their own. RM expects 10 to 15 others by year end. Anyone in san ramon can leave with a 50% pay increase.
As a team lead I refuse to be put into the position of policing my direct reports choice to wear a mask.
As supervisors we're expected to access the EMR Supervisor Portal to run status reports validating the vaccination status of our direct reports. Employees have the option of uploading their vaccination record to the EMR Employee Portal which starts a... — read more

CES Survey
Does anybody find it odd that the bottom three results from the recent pulse survey were work-life balance, simplicity, and survey to action? Would this not be indicative of a false sense of security in the higher ranking categories. It feels to me... — read more
Reorg or Lay off is Approaching
Anyone else feel like either a reorg or a layoff is coming? I can always stay busy, but it seems that managers and leads are handing out a lot of work of questionable importance just to appear like the team is really busy. Makes me wonder if the... — read more
The great resignation
Looks like the post pandemic resignations are starting to pickup. I found about 3 more CVX employees today that just put in their notice. Hopefully they will pay the rest of us more to stick around.
Future for a young petrotech (ocean) engineer at CVX
If I accept a full time offer with Chevron, what is the future like? Will I really be out of a job and looking for work in a few years? I know that many here have been laid off and it’s probably not the best place to ask, but I just need to know... — read more
What schools does CVX recruit most heavily from?
My initial thought is the Texas Schools (A&M, UH, UT) and some in the south. Thoughts?
LinkedIn Video of Michael Wirth??
I've been asked 3 times now if I've seen the LinkedIn video of Michael Wirth. I have no idea what they are referring too. Anyone got a link?
Why won't they admit to themselves that Agile doesn't work?
I don’t know what information they have, but it’s completely clear to most employees that Agile needs to be abandoned. However, it seems to me that they persistently refuse to see the real picture and persistently push for something that definitely... — read more
CVX - One of the Worst Companies To Work For In America
Remember when we were all ask to vote for CVX to one of the best places to work? I think we have crashed to the bottom of the dumpster. My son is an Electrical Engineer at A&M and A&M has advised that based on feedback from O&G alumni, O&G is not... — read more
Not enough younger people
There are still too many older people at CVX who keep holding the company back due to their outdated ideas on how things should be done. This is true from the highest level to the lowest. If we're to continue dominating the industry, we need more... — read more
Were these the worst years ever?
I came here just before the pandemic. My question is for those who have been here for years and who have managed to build a career here: do you remember the harder and more turbulent period that this company went through?
Expat In Covid
Anyone else getting the shaft on benefits because they aren’t converting expat positions into back-to-back? Many Residential positions are no longer allowing families to return because of Covid. As a result, people are stuck in expat jobs without... — read more
When will it become inclusive for experienced workers?
My suggestion is that Chevron finally become inclusive for both people with experience and skillset. I used to work with some of the best experts who were a pleasure to work with. There are exceptions, but today I mostly work with people who are... — read more
Salary transparencie
Successful companies such as Whole Foods disclose the title and pay of every single employee. Why not? Everyone should know exactly what every position pays, no? When will Chevron get there?
It was a good place to start
Despite the negative posts here I have to say that CVX is as good a place to kick start a career. I appreciate the work that at times was challenging and it further added to my skillset. I can’t say that it’s a company you can retire from because I... — read more
CEMREC...
"It will get worse before it gets better" is what they said during the re-org. Half a year in....still not getting any better. New managers and teams selected were not the best people for the roles. Seeing a serious lack of knowledge and... — read more
HR GMs cannot stand each other
Why can't the HR GMs work well with each other? They trash each other openly and two of them got in a heated arguement earlier this week.
Is Chevron on the right course?
Some things have changed in a very short time, the pandemic has opened up some issues and accelerated some processes. I wonder what your opinion is, is this company set on a good course, or could it be positioned much better for the future? Any... — read more
Horizons Facility Engineer PSG
Hello, I anticipate getting an offer to start with Chevron in a month or so as a FE in their horizons program. Does anyone here have insight into the PSG and the actual starting pay I can expect? I just graduated with my bachelors in ocean... — read more
Changes coming
To understand our future, just watch what is happening right now at Exxon with activist shareholders pushing to replace board members. Yeah sure Engine No1 is a minor shareholder but Blackrock is a major shareholder supporting the push. All driven... — read more
Better companies in this industry?
Of course, Chevron has a lot of things that need to be fixed. However, we should be realistic, there is no company in which there are no problems and in which all employees are doing great. I used to work for only one company from this industry... — read more
Agile: "It's normal to have this level of chaos and confusion for the 1st year"
Please give me the approved answer when asked by the business if I think that we've moved to something better in this latest transformation. I'm not good at selling customers the invisible magic undercoating.
Leaders defined by spouse behavior
It has been interesting interacting with the spouses of many our leaders. Of course, the great majority are women who don’t work. They are at least as driven as their husband with most taking up major charity roles in the community. It is normal and... — read more
Job requirements
With the latest crop of "managers," it seems to me that the job description for any of the positions in the management comes with a "no experience required or needed" disclaimer. Actually, having experience seems to be a detriment since I've seen... — read more
Your personal sacrifices while working here?
It all depends on the priority. For some, Chevron is a dream come true because they are mostly motivated only by the pay. I would very often give up portion of the pay, if only I could have at least a little work/ life balance. I missed a lot of... — read more
Chevron mask policy from the workforce email
Let's put these rumors to bed. Chevron will apply this guidance to its global workforce effective Monday, May 24th, 2021 except where superseded by applicable law. To work without a mask in the... — read more
Chevron is destined to fail
Despite what many company cheerleaders here think, Chevron is not as great as they'd like to believe. This company is old school through and through. It's stuck in place because it does not allow innovative or out-of-the-box thinking. You either do... — read more
Chevron BOD and Exec Diversity
Board and upper management diversity is quick and easy to achieve since requirements can easily be met. If you want to know where the corp is headed on diversity in leadership, just look at the board of directors - 50% white male 40% female 17%... — read more
The most toxic work environment
If there was a ranking for the most toxic work environment, I have no doubt that CVX would land at the very top. Just look at the posts here. So much hate, so much lying, so much bullying...and this is regular employees. The entire management is a... — read more
2021 PSG Salary Bands, LTIP factors, etc.
Can someone post it please?
What's your value added?
I started reading the comments here during the 2016 layoffs (which miraculously I survived), and still return here from time to time to see what's "trending". I complain about work as much as the rest (maybe even more than my share). I am getting old... — read more
What would reduce employee turnover?
What do you think would currently prevent employees, especially those with great expertise and experience, to leave Chevron? Of course there are ways for the company to keep them, but I clearly doubt Chevron is ready for that. It seems to me that... — read more
Chevron has instituted a database of all vaccinated employees
No lie. Non-vaccinated employees will be required to wear masks.
HR GM call
RM is unhappy with people leaving Chevron and the offers that they are recieving. So, tomorrow her GMs will be calling all PSGs between 20-24 that they think will be regrettable losses and have discussion. I guess we will find out how much Chevron... — read more
I Don't Understand Why You Focus On Me
I have always had an open door policy and am willing to listen to anyone that has an issue with my organization. Simply call me or stop by my office. I am available. If you want to focus on a family, focus on the Luquette/Boroughs Dynasty. — read more
HR receives another notice today
7th person since transformation to jump ship without a severance. RM should take notice, more to come as these individuals are sharing their recruiters.
Doozie of a townhall
First Mike mishears the inflation question thinking people are worried about how the company is managing procurement vs. employees actively getting poorer after terrible CIP and salary adjustments compounded by rising CPI. And then he goes full... — read more
