Chevron Needs Culture Change
This place is a he-l hole of poor decisions and sh-----g on good workers. This place can get sc--wed. Any good workers should go where they are valued and can feel worthy. I'm looking for jobs and it is tough, no doubt... I think I am going to... — read more
Pros / cons of posting above or below PSG?
Since you can go one PSG up or down?
Some teams are becoming understaffed beyond what’s manageable
Mine has already been reduced to bare bones, and apparently, more cuts are still coming. We’re exhausted—and exhaustion leads to mistakes. The overtime is relentless, and none of us have had a chance to catch our breath. At some point, productivity... — read more
EOI - Next Wave
Is there a way to guarantee a severance at this point or did that ship sail? I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to EOI, I was on the fence, but recently I had some life changes that have now solidified my decision to leave Chevron. My question, is... — read more
Empty parking spaces = laid off?
Anyone else notice how many of the “reserved” parking spaces are empty in the Houston parking garage? Are those 28+ that were let go and can’t be bothered to come in any more? Saved for people from San Ramon? Hess management? VIPs too busy to drive... — read more
How can you fail a dr-g test and still climb to 28 level without corruption in the system.
Catching up on th site, Can't believe a GM failed a dr-g test which was covered up and has continued to climb in the system, For most of us a big night out and an unlucky random test would be the end of us, Why is there a double standard?

Thoughts on WARN Act Issues?

North American lubricants ?!
So do we exist ?? The psg 26 org chart came in and everyone but North America and Canada is not listed within the chart.. I hope they do not plan on wiping out an entire BU all though many leaders are taking the EOI or just quitting. Sad days ahead... — read more
I'm constantly wiped out
Working at Chevron never felt like this before. Every day feels like an uphill battle with no end in sight. By the end of the day, I'm exhausted both mentally and physically. I don't know if it's the recent constant threat of layoffs (at least before... — read more
Wave hoppers
Has anyone heard about employees being offered to participate in a different wave than the location/department is initially designated for? For example ctc being allowed to decide if they want to participate in wave 1 or wave 2?
Please Sir, May I have some more?
Let’s pretend… I keep my job. Are we doing PSG bumps in 2026? Kinda done after in same paygrade for 2 years (especially displaying competence in current paygrade and up to two paygrade ahead).
It’s win win, at least for the winners
Another week, and set of crazy macroeconomic surprises. Black swans falling from the sky like passenger pigeons. This whole reorg exercise is supposed to be about competitiveness. At least as measured by short term financial metrics. But it’s such a... — read more
Cost Cutting....but
So cut costs but.....Chevron executives travel to and attend on mass to the Super Bowl and very recently the Masters at huge cost, but let me guess, this is essential business......tone deaf.
Most Notable Departures?
Who are the most notable departures so far? Who left that we wish would have stayed?
Closed Positions
Has anyone already been told they are in a closed position? Some people on my team have but I haven’t, but I suspect it’s because we have different PDRs.
New Emerging Technologies within the organization, I’m excited are you?
Chevron is ushering in a revolutionary era with the integration of emerging Indian technologies to support our plants and facilities. Our new Engineering and Innovation Excellence Center (ENGINE) in Bengaluru is a prime example of this monumental... — read more

Do NOT Move to Houston!
If you're considering making the move to Houston, do not do it. It is next to impossible to get Homeowners Insurance here. I've gotten rejected multiple times and one quote is over $8k and requires inspection to confirm insurability. If you already... — read more
What are the IT changes now that 26 up is out?
Now that the 26 and up postings are out, what are the changes? Are there agile positions? How much of a cut is there? Are you meeting with job owners?
Feeling Optimistic
The prospect of redundancy is like being offered a lifeboat before the captain and crew have even realised they’ve hit an iceberg. And on a doomed vessel, that’s about the best outcome one can hope for.
How much does this all cost?
Wave 1 BUs are in selection paralysis. No one is working, just whispering in hallways and behind closed doors. The other groups are stopped watching the train wreck. How much does all this lost productivity cost Chevron? I wish it was just money. But... — read more

PSG 28+ in wave 2?
Is there PSG 28 + positions in wave 2? Or they have announced all the high level positions. For example, I didn’t see any details in finance or css, does it mean we don’t have other 28+ positions except the VP?
PSG 25 and below population
Does anyone know the current population of the 25 and below psg’s? Four days to have selection meetings seems like the powers that be would have most of the boxes penciled in.
Is this a sane way to run a company?
At well-run companies, poor performers are let go on a regular basis. Chevron is different. For a period of 4-5 years it’s impossible to get let go, no matter how much you are just phoning it in. Then, like clockwork, it’s time for a... — read more

Chevron should increase severance pay beyond 2 weeks per YOS
Job market is bad. An increase in severance will help those ride it out longer if need be. It will also make the company look good and may help retain ongoing and future talent.
Soon at Chevron: Fake job seekers are flooding U.S. companies that are hiring for remote positions, tech CEOs say

Cramer?
What is Cramer's obsession with MW? He praises that he's amazing and doing great things. What has he done that is even remotely good? Is there something more going on here?
CVX return since MW became CEO
86% Compare that to any of the last 4 CEOs. Even JW was better. Remind me why we gave this guy an extension beyond 65?
$CVX down 20%
Remind me how much we contributed to R’s last election cycle.
Drill baby Drill
Oil is now less than $60. Tired of winning yet?
