It’s just a job, not a family

Shale and Tight Post Layoff Mess

Inspiring Sign
Anyone notice in 1400 the sign saying "Inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers and problem solvers" and think like everything else our leaders are tone deaf? Do they mean inspiring the next generation of Indian Engineers?

Are we satisfied with wave 2 outcomes, or have we been beaten into submission?
Our ranting and ravings, mine included, have subsided. Are we tired, ambivalent, still working through the results? I myself am not looking forward to dealing with the mess we will be left with.

It’s starting to feel strange just surviving another day here
The reorg has dragged on so long, and conditions have gotten so bad, that some of us almost hope to be let go, and feel no relief when we aren’t. Clearly, nobody at the top gives two sh--s about how this drawn-out anxiety is grinding us down. On a... — read more
GOA Exploration—A Masterclass in Missed Opportunities
Let’s talk about GOA exploration. Or rather, let’s talk about whatever this slow-motion implosion is pretending to be. Because calling it “exploration” at this point feels like calling a flat tire a transportation strategy. The whole thing is a... — read more

Be grateful you have a job
Just imagine being laid off and having to deal with a job market that's incredibly hostile to employees. Yes, Chevron su-ks. It's not the company it once was. Working here is far from great. But at least you're working. A former coworker who was laid... — read more

Hunger Games have already started
After a layoff event people used to take breather and relax, not with this latest one. Feels like hunger games have already started. It must be about the hiring in ENGINE and Buenos Aires.
Happier Times!

I Agree With Everyone On Here - Chevron Has The Worst HSE Organization A Major Company Could Have
At Chevron, the HSE department is less of a safety net and more of a loosely tied hammock made of red tape and bad decisions. If common sense were PPE, they'd be working barefoot on a rig made of matches. Their idea of a safety meeting is a coffee... — read more

Looking for guidance on RTO changes
I am based in Houston and my entire team has been replaced with employees in Buenos Aires and Manila. Does anyone have advice or strategies on maximizing the benefits of in-person collaboration the upcoming RTO changes will offer? /s
Leadership is actively trying to make us leave on our own
The stricter RTO is just part of it. Eternal reorganization, months of uncertainty about what’s coming for each of us - that’s another layer. Teams are in chaos, handling workloads meant for far more people. Managers seem completely oblivious to... — read more
