Attrition is good for employees. When the market is hot and staff are jumping ship for better jobs, salaries rise. If attrition gets up to 10% per year or so Chevron will boost salaries quite a bit or bring back the perto tech bonus. That was... — read more
Completely disconnected
This is still a much better company than others in the industry, however, sometimes I get the feeling that top dogs don’t even know what the situation is like among ordinary employees and what problems they are facing working here. Of course, they... — read more
Chevron exiting Canada? New CBU President
Does anyone else think it’s a red flag they’re sending Balaji Krishnamurphy to CBU as the new president? After the other guy has only been the president for a few months. As far as I can tell, based on the only experience given in his introductory... — read more

Attrition
I posted something on chevron attrition, why did it get deleted? I did not identify anyone or say anything offensive? Btw ... the attrition train rolls on, I see more today
HR is a disaster
RM should be ashamed......but i will take 4M a year to destroy moral for the 1100 that are left. When is the announcement for the remaining 20% that has posted over a year ago? I cannot wait to "be in scope again".
The last great migration
The move to Texas reminds me of when Chevron retained 300 HQ staff in downtown San Francisco and when Union had a similar small top staff hideout in Los Angeles. Then one day the whole HQ closed up and moved. Those selling California real estate will... — read more
Prior Job At Chevron and TheLayoff.com
One of my prior jobs at Chevron was to monitor layoff.com and plant crazy stores in order to discredit the site. If employees started posting items that hit home really hard or items CVX did not want to discuss, I would start posting crazy topics... — read more
Personality Surveys
ABU asset development has been trying to figure out our personalities since the beginning of the last decade. First it was e-colors then it was Myers Briggs and now it's the "Print Survey." I found that a reading the personality traits based on... — read more
Employee Monitoring at Chevron
Curious what other employees know about employee monitoring levels at chevron? I imagine that, if the company really wanted to, they could technically and legally monitor anything and everything that occurs on company-owned devices (Keys pushed... — read more
The meaning of boring meetings?
I get most tired in meetings that were very unnecessary. These are the type of meetings that later I have to try to figure out why they happened at all, and there are too many of such meetings. They almost never have a strict agenda and of course... — read more
DP- Vaccines required for business travel.
During the HSE open mike, DP announced that vaccines will be required for business travel. Funny how quickly they forgot that they said they will not require it unless the law required it.
Why Would You Want to Work For Chevron?
If you are white male, why would you ever consider working for Chevron. Read the WSJ concerning the CEOs comments on pushing more women into leadership positions. Look at the recent reorg and count the number of white males released on a percentage... — read more
Is Chevron hiring at the moment?
I interviewed there a while ago and at the time pay and benefits seemed more than decent. I choose another company then but now I'm rethinking that choice.
Attrition
Looking at my LinkedIn timeline, people who I thought would be hi-p-t are leaving the company. Even hi-p-t females are either leaving or signing up for MBA’s (plan B).
I'm told the gyms have received quite a few cancellations after the policy change
It took 3 days to receive a cancellation confirmation email. They must be pretty busy processing cancellation requests. It's very sad. I've been paying all this time hoping that I would see the same people when we returned. Thanks DP.
Why are people so quick to defend Chevron?
Whoever says something negative about the company gets downvoted into oblivion and don't even get me started on the comments. Why would people be so against calling out the company on legitimate issues? It's not as if somebody is attacking you or... — read more
Chevron Nepotism
I was shocked when I read this article in Forbes about a Chevron Executive and how he was removing the barriers to move this daughter up in the company. Read for yourself. I guess this is just the world we live in... — read more
DP should have consulted with CVX legal before instituting vaccination passports. It's illegal under Abbott's EO.
Chevron accepted $3,000,000 on 6/25/2013 from the Texas Enterprise Fund for the creation of 425 jobs. Governor Abbott's EO blocking Covid vaccination passports clearly states that public companies that have received tax payer dollars through a... — read more
job offer negotiation
hi everyone here, this is not about layoffs. Actually I've got a job offer few days ago for an Engineering entry level position based in Houston. I really like Chevron from the technical point and the role offered is exciting, but compensation... — read more
DP announces covid vax will likely be required for offshore/ship operations
Well there it is. As part of the People and culture town hall, dp discussed forced vax policy around ships and offshore facilities. Forced vax now officially begins. This will slowly creep into all facilities. Good luck to everyone who is taking a... — read more
Noble Midstream Integration
I thought today was the day you were either fired or receive a new job offer...what's the hold up??
The culture at Chevron is the worst I've ever seen
I swear, I thought it couldn't get worse than at my last workplace but I was very much wrong. At least at my last workplace, it was just my department culture that was awful, but the company was relatively okay. Here, the whole place is a mess... — read more
Jokes about CVX
Got the gas station clerk today I put my goods on the counter and he rings them up. He proceeds to tell me that the total is seven eleven ($7.11). I look at him sternly and reply, "no, this is Chevron". He wasn't nearly as amused as I was.
First quarter earnings disastwr
Oil prices are up 30% vs last year and all our competitors are taking victory laps with massive first quarter earnings. BP tripled. Exxon shot way up. Chevron? Downstream collapsed entirely and Upstream somehow managed to produce less even after... — read more
Undeserved promotions
More and more promotions are going to people who don't even know how to perform their core jobs, not to mention anything beyond that. What they do know is how to kiss the behinds of anybody who is above them on the 'food chain.' This is ki----g our... — read more
HR doesn’t really want your honest feedback
Another RM town hall advertised, another Workplace poll request...instead of an anonymous tool like every other civilized person uses for those things. Does she expect anyone to be honest when their name is tied to their question? What happened to a... — read more
F-Hybrid RTW
If after 5 years of IT bi-----g to WFH wasn't enough, it took a F#$%ing pandemic to finally get Chevron to let us WFH with execs lying when they said we are "the same and if not more productive". Now a year later we see this email come out from that... — read more
Cr---y WFH policy forward
Way to go on going backwards. Company works very well for a year remotely but management decides sitting in a cubicle with a mask on is more productive. So much for higher returns and lower carbon. Can’t lower carbon if you are stuck in hours long... — read more
Hiring people from competing companies
How many people from competing companies do you think are now looking for a job at Chevron? It is impossible to know, but I would love to know.

Chevron is unforgiving if one quits?
For private reasons, I’d love to quit from Chevron for a while, but I’m worried that the company wouldn’t hire me back in due course (if I wanted to come back here). Is there anyone who can give me some useful information that I should know if I... — read more
Extended Unemployment?
Has anyone finished their 6 months UI and continued on in the extension territory? I guess as long as UE is high in Texas, we all get to stay on the gravy train. Would be great to have it all year. I need more toys!
Has it always been like this?
Let me preface this by saying that I joined Chevron a year ago, I like my job, I enjoy doing it and I'm good at it. My biggest issue is navigating through all the politics and backstabbing. Honestly, it's exhausting and it eats up all of my energy... — read more
Covid Vaccine Should Be Required

Chevron’s recent hiring
Has anyone heard about being interviewed for the most recent hiring?? It has been roughly a month since I applied. Just curious how long it takes to hear back.
Weekly management reports
There are few things more ridiculous and time wasting than the idiotic weekly reports we have to submit. People put all sorts of nonsense on those reports. Some kiss ups think it is a good place to make it sound like important progress is occurring... — read more
