Networking often feels like a farce. If you’re too visible or make too much noise with your initiatives, it can backfire. It just proves that corporations behave like people—fickle, inconsistent, and driven by ever-changing, often contradictory... — read more
What BUs are working from home tomorrow?
I’ve heard it varies.
What would you do different?
As we’re reflecting on our time here and looking toward the future, left standing or chosen, I find myself wondering what I would do differently. What I would tell my younger self on my first day at Chevron, knowing what I know now. For me, it’s... — read more

CSOC feedback tool
What on earth has happened to the anonymous feedback tool? I used to love that for blasting people, at all levels (especially below me!) in compleat anonimity. Thanks advance
What's taking so long?
The lack of any notification, or even communication by the Job Owners / Selection reps is absolute agony. However, it doesn't seem that they care. Sadly, I've come to expect this from CVX during this re-org. The callous disregard for the... — read more
How Many EOI'ed?
I hear many wild rumors that in the shale and tight space, many people EOI'ed. Is this true? Do we have a vacuum to fill because a lot of people chose not to continue with the reorg?
Leadership Failures
I can't help but think that our leadership is an epic failure. This company pays hugh salaries to supposedly smart, educated people, yet pay millions to a consulting company to structure our organization. Does that mean our leadership can't... — read more
Notification thread
Who’s been notified? How are you notified? Is it the result you wanted? Wishing all the best and know we’ll all come out ok no matter what happens. More to us than work.
When are the meeting invites coming out?

Conversely, who will contact you if you did get a job?
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond.
I'm as prepared as I'll ever be
Let's get this over with! And then we can hopefully move on and focus on work once again. Nobody can convince me that the wait hasn't affected productivity companywide significantly.
Win Employees Back?
Will ELT try to win back the employees that are still left after this disaster? Productivity, safety and morale are all in the dumpster due to ELT's actions. What will they do of anything to build back trust and any kind of care for the company?
Thanks & Good luck
Thanks everyone for the last few months of rumors, humor, trolling, and distraction. I don’t think I would have been sane without venting on here (sure wasn’t going to call the Chevron narc line for help). Good luck tomorrow. I hope everyone... — read more

Green Badges have more insight than Blue Badges
Why is management openly telling green badge employees what is fixing to happen to blue badge employees without telling the blue badges themselves?? It is fu--ing bull sh-t that consultants are more in-the-know than we blue badges are!
CHEVRON STOCK
I will no longer be with Chevron, should I sell my Chevron stock or do you think it will increase in value after all the cuts? Not really a stock person, need help.
Can I back up my photos on my personal computer or will that get flagged?
I’ve backed them up before on my iMac, but it’s been awhile and I don’t want it to be a problem. All my photos are personal, yeah I know…but it’s the phone I always carry with me.
WFH Monday
What is the exact reasons specifically for having everyone work from home Monday? Is it just they are worried about people going postal after being let go, people being safer with their families rather than at the office or driving home, or what do... — read more

fun times
really fun to go through the last few days of "working". I was supposed to work through June 11 and off payroll July 1....well, my access was revoked on June 6 with no warning. And when requesting it be reinstated so I could complete transferring... — read more
The silence is the loudest part...
the clearest thing to me is that decisons have already been made, people know where they stand-theyre just waiting for the call. some teams have been told to work from home, others told to show up in person, and we’re all trying to interpret those... — read more
Their plan is working
A third of my team is gone. They left on their own, tired of waiting for this mess to resolve itself. Now the rest of us are overworked, there’s no chance they’ll backfill anything, and Chevron saved on severance. If you’re wondering why things are... — read more
