Many projects are now a mess
Poorly conducted and poorly thought-out reorgs mean projects get stalled because new teams don’t communicate, and knowledge gets lost in the shuffle. Deadlines slip, and no one takes responsibility. Meanwhile, leadership pretends it’s all about... — read more
Lakeside San Ramon Advertised for Sublease
“Chevron has listed for sublease all of the approximately 400,000 square feet of office space that the energy giant occupies in San Ramon at the Executive Parkway location, which is perched at an eye-catching location next to a lake at Bishop... — read more
Town halls
Every single town hall in the past 12 months could’ve been an email. Nothing but a colossal waste of time.

What happens to teams that are gutted?
I'm talking truly gutted, left with just a few people standing. Do they get reassigned to other teams or something else?
Scotland office collapses
So, Aberdeen is finally closing. I'm surprised anyone was still there since all they were doing was filing emails from BP about declining Clair production. Thoughts?
End career salaries for petroleum engineeers
When I started my career at Chevron in mid 00’s it was common to see the end of (technical) career look like this: retire in late 50’s/early 60’s with 2-3 expat assignments and the last 5-10 years at grade 26. Now we are faced with a layoff (or... — read more
HR and ELP incompetence
You put the workforce through the most horrible experience, whether they got jobs or not. And on day 1 of go live, all the org charts on workday aren’t even correct. We have people with random direct reports, wrong job titles. I’ve personally seen... — read more
B&c pdc results?
Do you know when they’ll call people who received offers? Heard the pdc ended today but not sure if they will call people today or tomorrow.
CES
Are they going to be accountable and face the music of what we think about them?
ABU severance pay
During transformation in 2020, it was 4 weeks for every year of service. For 2025, several previous threads mentioned 3 weeks. Others mentioned 4 weeks. Which is correct?
I get being frustrated with Chevron, but wishing for it to fail?
That just hurts everyone. Better to push for real change than cheer for collapse. A lot of families rely on this place, even if it’s far from perfect.
I'm out
This reorg’s a mess, they’re mostly making it up as they go. The early heads-up actually did me a favor, it gave me time to really think about whether I still saw a future here. Turns out, I don’t. That clarity pushed me to look elsewhere, and I... — read more
Feeling like I’m worth nothing
I’ve been left standing and waiting for the PDC results. My boss has already been promoted to be a higher manager and hasn’t said a word to me. And the new manager hasn’t communicated anything to me. My new team has already had kick off meetings... — read more
safety updates???
Been quiet. Update on Colorado, Africa and Ames? Where next? Other safety incidents we’re not being told about? Hard to focus, MN, when stuff is falling apart around us. Antipathy is vengeful.
PSG Grade and Salary Ranges
Can someone post the PSG ranges and respective salaries
“OPEN TO WORK” on LinkedIn?
Some of our HR groups have a pretty good idea that we will not have jobs, there will be not boxes for us. I’m curious if putting LinkedIn open to work status as public could hurt at point? Ideally, I would like to land a role inside Chevron, so I... — read more
Workday PDC job status
Anyone know if there is any way to check the status of a job and if workday provides any update during the selections?
Why bother trying?
We've reached the point where all the promotions go to buddies, benefits shrink yearly, and job security’s turned into a joke. My manager literally said a while ago that quiet quitting is the new normal. So now I do my 9-5 and log off. Not my fault... — read more
PDC after being left standing
For the BC unit, I'm curious about how many folks who were still around in transitional roles actually went for the PDC? As for me and a couple of my coworkers, we’re done with it! Just counting down the days until August. There were over 100 jobs... — read more
Could they have ballsed this up any more?
Can you picture a more colossal clusterf*** of a layoff process? Announced way too early Town hall after town hall with no new info Tone deaf leaders extolling the virtues of the abomination being built in the third world to disappear your... — read more

The Disconnect Between Leadership Roles and Exploration Track Records at Chevron
It is concerning to observe that within Chevron's exploration organization, particularly in the Gulf of America (GOA) and the Exploration Review Team (ERT), there appears to be a recurring trend where individuals with limited technical... — read more
Training less qualified replacements
How’s it going training less qualified replacements? I’m done July 1st. They can figure it out on their own like I had to.
Learn to say no
It’s the weekend, and I feel like offering some advice to the newcomers since I keep seeing the same mistake repeated over and over. Early in my career, I made the classic mistake of always saying yes. That extra project, covering for a colleague... — read more
The job outlook is bleak
I’ve been on LinkedIn looking for work because I am 90% sure im losing my job.. There are so many posts stating that jobs are not real. The companies are just posting them to increase their traffic. They seem to have some evidence to back it up... — read more
LinkedIn Jobs Galore
Anyone else think it’s hilarious that Chevron went through this reorg thinking people cared enough about the company to stay.. then they saw results.. now posting jobs externally on LinkedIn.. how embarrassing
CNE Reorg
It looks like we didn’t completely put this out of its misery. JBG is a toxic, passive aggressive narcissist. While there were few tangible results, it seems he systematically dismantled the leadership from the one group that delivered them. Most... — read more
Wave 1 layoff didn’t seem that bad?
So for IT, with the exception of San Ramon and other edge locations, the layoffs didn’t seem to hit Houston that bad? I was expecting layoffs of almost apocalyptic proportions, but it seems most people I know kept their jobs. Or am I missing... — read more
HUMAN ENGERY Oxymoron
MCKINSEY titles are ridiculous. Someone with grad w #1 in world tech school and ivy post f grad.now called shift leader. Watch that person leave for EOM.
Hess rumors
Anyone have any updates on our side? I have a friend over at HES that says it’s full steam ahead for them as if the merger is going to go through.
layoff % in petrotech
What’s the layoff percentage for subsurface roles? Some high-level manager told me ~10% after EOIs. I haven’t seen many impacted in exploration, and it looks like a number of people getting transitional roles in MCBU. Do you have a sense of the... — read more
1H Transition Jobs
Did a lot of people in 1H get left standing with transition roles, or did they forget to include all the people in the announcements? I know a lot of people in 1H that weren't on the announcements that are still working. I'm not asking. They aren't... — read more
What is the definition of termination date
What is the definition of the "termination of employment date"? Assuming July 17, 2025, is the date listed in the email received, does it mean you are employed until 11:59 PM on July 17, or does it mean you are out by the end of July 16?
ABU
