Anyone has an idea how much to be cut for supply chain management function?

CVX needs to stop favoring a petroleum engineering degree from Tulsa/A&M over any other random graduate from an Ivy. No offense to those two schools but caliber is more important than degree conferred.

Lot of lifers will cash out and EOI. They’re not dumb. The writing is on the wall in IT. Two more years of pin ball Bill, buzzwords, and smiley Joe pep talks just aren’t worth it when you have money in the bank. Downward pressure in 2021 will only... — read more

Global says the US cuts will be 30% across the board in Wells. Anyone have the percentages for each BU? CTC (UC & ETC), MCBU, SJV, GOM, TCO, SASBU?
