Chevron - Once a great place to work now taken over by corporate greed. Why is anyone loyal to these companies anymore? For most people, the pay is good but is it life changing? No.

Back when I was early in my career, I made the mistake of being the “reliable one.” I took pride in stepping up during chaotic times - worked unpaid overtime, solved problems others didn’t want to deal with, became the go-to person for managers to... — read more 

Welcome to the MW and MN s****show possibly in the near future. Dont know how Hess is but Chevron is miserable right now with low morale due to constant poor management decisions and changes. Not the same company before the MW era ruined it.

Working to rule means doing exactly what your job requires. Nothing more. No unpaid overtime. No covering for three people. No 12-hour days because leadership didn't staff or plan properly and sent jobs to inexperienced and incompetent people in... — read more 

Now they say Barrow Island Field has unfixable gas leaks. So much for environmentally sensative operations.

So the Hess deal didn’t go through, right? I mean we would have heard something by now if it did. Now they are just waiting until the earnings call to announce that we’ve moved on?

Speedy recovery to the injured parties. Wonder if they will activate the accountability model yet. https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/four-injured-after-fire-at-chevron-pascagoula-mississippi-refinery-local-media-reports-4136301

They keep calling it a "transformation," but from where I sit, it feels more like disarray with a shiny label. We've been through wave after wave of reorgs - and still no real change. Just new names, new charts, same confusion. The transformation... — read more 

A report came out that MW is the second highest paid executive in Houston. All while he lays off thousands. They expect those who are left will work longer and harder to make up for the lack of people and the poor quality of The Engine. Don't, just... — read more 

I feel completely checked out at work. I know I should prep more, show up better, but I’m just not motivated. Then I end up doing poorly on calls or projects, which makes me feel worse and even more disconnected. It’s this loop of burnout and... — read more 

I keep checking different boards that are active on this site. There are tons of companies with issues, but it seems like we and Exxon have the busiest ones. I know our folks are vocal, so that probably explains a thing or two, but I’m still... — read more 

Seems like the opposite. Maybe good people but no experience in the jobs they got. Why??? What’s the vision here.

Over the past decade, our company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) has suffered a sustained decline, putting us behind our competitors. Key transactions, such as the HESS deal, remain unresolved after two years, and mounting legal challenges across... — read more 

I bust my a-s every day at this place. I hit every single deadline, put out fires, and keep my work clean. But nobody seems to care. The only ones getting promoted are the loudmouths who never shut up about themselves, even when they barely pull... — read more

With a new president who looks after all NOJV including Canada, is CBU gone? I mean will they cell Chevron Plaza and close it down? It seems hard to believe. I spent 32 years in this building except for few international assignments. It is hard for... — read more 

It’s funny that the ELT thinks that AI can easily replace individual contributors, but not themselves. MW has been warming seats on the ELT for over 15 years though multiple layoffs and out TSR is where it is. I’m pretty sure that ChatGPT, Grok, or... — read more

Who is the bigger bell end?

Is it when too many critical roles are cut? When we lose so much in-house expertise that we can’t function? When too many jobs are outsourced and everything starts to fall apart? My team has already lost so many people. There are barely a few left I... — read more
