Immeasurable Damage
Monday 9th, 8:00 AM, I am sitting at my desk, I am supposed to be in one of our “important” meetings. The truth is, I just don’t f**kin’ care anymore. I am void, gutted, ataractic. Previous employers had managed to insult me, exploit me, humiliate... — read more
Midland Field
Are they moving Midland field workers out of Midland and closer to Pecos?
Promotions
What’s the plan/status for doing PSG career ladder promotions this year? Still happening or will be paused for 2025 given all that is going on?
Colorado
Anyone in Colorado hear any news yet? Seems we are short staffed across the board out in the field so hopefully everyone who wants to stay gets placed somewhere.
Pre-selection meeting outcome
Has anyone been informed of the outcome of the preselection meetings held last week?
Chevron explained perfectly
This explains Chevron to a dot. Haha. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKds9n6sIyx/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
Anyone apart of MCBU heard anything early?
I know official details come out the week of June 16th, but has anyone gotten new info already? It blows my mind that meetings weren't required to happen last week and that there's a 3 week gap between when jobs closed to when people are supposed to... — read more
This Is a Good Thing
Chevron needed to u load low performing people. Even if they delivered results and were well respected, it doesn’t emulate the business needs of Chevron. All of those people trying to improve and innovate are only getting in the way of keeping a... — read more

Winning again, just like Hess https://www.yahoo.com/news/chevron-hit-massive-fine-court-111534839.html
You can’t blame MW, EB and MN for this but I’m glad it’s happening to them. But MW and MN were here when this was still active. https://www.yahoo.com/news/chevron-hit-massive-fine-court-111534839.html
CEO od Rolls-Royce turn around strategy
Interesting post about Rolls-Royce CEO, what a big difference in mindset of a man who was a former BP executive compared to ours: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/rolls-royce-ceo-fired-managers-050000297.html

Confirmed - it's rigged
I'm scheduled to go through this "fun" in wave 2. I've been speaking to some leaders, trying to see where I might fit in or be able to compete in the new org since we can't really see much of it. One high level leader told me directly that despite... — read more
Can't wait
I'm excited about getting laid off and severance from Chevron. Who would want to continue working for this company? Take it as a blessing if you get it
Chevrons Strategy
Mike, the CEO of Chevron, is leading the charge in a reckless campaign of layoffs, with Mark, his loyal yet misguided sidekick, right by his side. Their approach is brutal and blind, focused solely on cutting costs without any real consideration for... — read more
You can't reason with some people
My retired uncle still thinks Chevron walks on water. Try explaining today’s reality and I get called ungrateful at best, or hit with a few colorful words at worst. Some folks just can’t accept how much workplaces change after they’re gone. I wish I... — read more
No layoffs this month?
Somebody mentioned there shouldn't be anything before July at least, is that true? I could really use a breather, to be honest.
Mckinsey conflict of interest?
Is mckinsey in conflict of interest if you hear them in the hall laughing and talking about shorting chevron stock? Asking for a friend.
Has anyone read Chart B on the Severance Release Forms?
Am I interpreting that chart correctly? The sum of the second column on Chart B is the total number of people that AEOI’d but are not yet eligible for severance? That is a MASSIVE number who hit the button if so……
Cuts proportional across PSGs, as MN stated??
Absolutely not!! As a reminder, he said the cuts would be proportional across PSGs at the Town Hall that kicked-off this whole re-org. Look, I’m not here to whine and gripe about needed cuts and a wholesale re-org. This is clearly needed and I... — read more

Finance psg 26-27
EB announced her 26-27 chosen few. Some names are surprising, and several promotions. If this is what that is left for 26-27, the cut in finance, save for shared services, is going to be minimum 50%
Hess
With the layoffs taking so long, what are chances it’s a stall tactic in order to wait for the Hess arbitration to finish? Is the plan to save seats for the Hess employees?
Chevron is down and for the first time ever, I’m hoping they go down and stay down
Chevron is down 16%, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I hope they go down and stay down and Chevron loses Hess and three amigo executives go down in the oil books as sh$t leaders and fat roasted forever as what not to do. ... — read more
How do you fare with a job search?
I’m becoming really worried. I started scouting for other options months ago, just to give myself some peace of mind ahead of the reorg. But it’s made me more anxious instead. It really isn’t good out there.
Has anyone heard their job outcomes yet?
I've been hearing that individuals have already had interviews for a possible position or have been told of their new position in the re-org already (PSG 25 and down) If you're in this psg, have you heard anything? Wondering if I'm considered left... — read more
Does severance agreement disqualify for unemployment in California?
For those that have received their severance agreement in CA, does the agreement disqualify us from seeking unemployment? I think since it's a lump sum we're ok on that front but does it mention anything about voluntarily resigning?

Downtown Houston -700
New this morning reported CVX notified the Texas Workforce Commission of 700 job reductions in Downtown Houston.
Will June be a layoff month?
How are things looking on that front?
Patriotism
Chevron should be called out for its lack of loyalty to the country that has made them rich and successful. The company is making plenty of money but Chevron and most companies have lost their way and only care about shareholder wealth. Its not true... — read more
