I am sorry for all of you that have to endure this process, that it looks as though there will also be no transparency, and that the company only cares about reducing US headcount t. Just like it was for us in Phase 1. Org charts will not be... — read more
HR Townhall
“We know we’re cutting 30-40%, but we also have no clue what roles will exist so can’t share org charts until the moment before you post…” huh? “Also, the business is investing multiple millions in technology to power the new hr org….. but ignore... — read more
Check out HR town hall recording
40% cuts LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE OUT SOURCING THERE EAP and sending HR to AI and service center. The things that made HR good are going away
Accountability
When will MW and MN take accountability that they are at fault for the state of the company? The answer is never, but they absolutely should. They brought in the non stop changes and distractions since 2020 and they understaffed and crushed morale... — read more
Too many assistants
Can we start trimming them down? We’ve reached the point where someone on the ELT has an assistant who has an assistant who'll probably soo have an assistant of their own.
Mark Nelson’s Update

New CISO named
Anybody met this guy yet? Half of the IT leadership team is from WalMart and Arkansas. Another win for Chevron if the goal is to staff up IT with people who don’t know what a well looks like, or even worse, for a head of cyber who’s never dealt... — read more

Corporate Affairs
Post for Corporate Affairs employees: let's break down this week’s Town Hall… LL is all about self promotion, doesn’t understand our business and has appointed only those with the worst ethics to the team around her. Any decent hard working people... — read more
Esso to gobble up BP
Now you will see why Esso tied our hands on HESS - so they can grab BP without competition. Poor MW. BP has the same revenue as CVX at a third the market cap. A bargain. The new company will be more than 2x our market cap, 2x our production, 3x... — read more
Trump "drill baby drill". Why does Chevron need to lay off?
Oh because SA will increase production so that prices will not get out of the 60's. Even an Iran conflict couldn't keep it above $70. Seems to me when he was in office last time, Layoffs happened too. Is this a pattern? Think about it
JKs Subsurface Town Hall
Anyone inspired after that reveal and explanation? if you are confident that our future is in the right hands then bless your heart
Shell is buying BP we are laying off

The layoffs will continue until morale improves
Welcome to the new Chevron!
Family of Managers Getting A Role!!!?
How do we hold management accountable for transparency on how their sons and daughters kept and job (even their spouses) while many others were laid off. Find it hard to believe that all the family members were just as good employees! Lack of... — read more
HR Town Hall
For those reading this who aren't in HR, understand that many of us in HR have also NOT been privy to the innerworkings of this project, so basically, we're in the same boat as you. With the HR town hall happening tomorrow, top of mind is whether... — read more

Why do people act like it's all over?
What am I missing here?
Can MW recover?
How can ELT win the employees back? This destructive layoff and lack of accountability has crushed any motivation. Outside of badly needed new leadership, how do they recover?
Can we now finally focus on other things?
Like, for example, the issues with internal communication? Half the time, teams don’t know what other teams are doing even when they’re working on related projects. Changes roll out with little explanation with top-down communication either delayed... — read more
Hess and the future
If the Hess acquisition fails will MW and MN finally be fired, aka "retire"? They have completely lost the trust and will of the employees. I would hope the board would wake up and give us a fresh start with hopefully a decent CEO that knows more... — read more
PE PDC
Total of four positions are posted. What a sham. Good luck to those left standing; may the odds be ever in your favor.
All ready PDC!
Here comes PDC, a life saver seen for some. Lest they know its reserved for folks eyed for the positions but who could not participate in wave 1 selections. All rigged.
Activity picking back up?
As the situation in the ME continues to ratchet up, are we going to pick up rigs again in the gulf or US land? If we don’t, our peers will continue to outperform us. Esp if Leviathan gets shut in for an extended period. But if we do add rigs…who’s... — read more
CTC Subsurface team work
Apparently it now takes a small village of Chapter Managers, Hub leaders, Advisors and Coordinators to take credit for work they have never seen, touched or contributed to. Team work at its finest!
Subsurface - A comedy of Errors in the making?
While JK is a smart and well-intentioned leader, his leadership of the Subsurface centralized function has fallen short of business expectations. There is a noticeable disconnect from frontline realities, minimal engagement with customer feedback, if... — read more
Posting in the PDC

Three years ago things were really good
Am I misremembering? Am I looking at things through rose-tinted glasses? As far as I can recall, just three years ago things were really good. Few layoffs, happy workforce, clear direction... How did things go so wrong in such a short time? Were... — read more
