I see myself being fairly useless the next week or so. Anyone else feeling this way? I just want to know what’s next, you know?

Any rumors?

Anyone know if we will hear the round 4 decisions the week of October 26? I heard the selections are taking longer than expected.

So now does our PDR rep have any responsibility to us now or anymore? In other words notification will either come from HR or from Job Owner now? Is this correct? Basically PDR may not know decision made in specific positions???

I see two types of people posting here. Those who hate Chevron and think it's a horrible place to work and those who love this place and will jump down people's throats at even a mention of something being wrong here. There seems to be no middle... — read more 

If so, what’s in it? Would it have your historical 3x3 standing?

Would be nice if we could know early rather then the constant fear of the phone ringing.

Does anybody know how much average. Home prices have decreased?

Anyone hearing any news from the wells R4 selection event that's in progress? What jobs are they discussing so far? Are 25s pushing down 24s and so on?

One “good” thing for this ROM is there won’t be demotions for technical career ladder positions, ie, will be lateral moves even if position is slated for lower PSG range. Does anyone have insight or can surmise why Chevron changed the policy... — read more

700 will be out of Houston office starting Oct 23, that is R3 layoffs, that is about 30% layoff rate. What would be the R4 numbers?

Keep saying layoffs are 15%? Everywhere I look it’s more like 20-30%. Maybe international payroll is lower?
