CTC cut rumors
Go!
This is not going to end well
I cannot wait for the fallout of this reorg. They have the same incompetent people who got us here by hiring other like minded simpletons to represent and restructure everything. It’s really sad but it’s the only way they’re going to learn is by more... — read more
IT Townhall Q&A
Can somebody please ask LC these questions on everybody’s mind on why his exec advisor KG has 100 E&Y “consultants” with the exact same background from GM, HP, Dell at the exact same times as LC. If all of these people quit GM at the same time…... — read more
Townhall TL;DR
To any meaningful questions you might have, our fearless leaders would like to offer you one, or any combination, of the following answers: “We don’t know yet” “That’s still being looked at” “We can’t say yet” You’re all caught up! — read more
🤷🏽♂️ IDK
Stay tuned for next week’s round of layoffs. Where the focus will be focused the next layer of the organization chart…Cause we have no idea ourselves.
I'm this close to quitting without a job lined up
That's how tired I'm of this. I swear, if this whole thing isn't resolved by the end of this month, I'll most likely end up doing just that.
What’s the reason for the new org structure not being posted?
When will this happen? Which roles will stay in each BU?
PRC it’s back
Well not titled PRC, but that’s what it is
Chevron Oronite
I was told who stays and who goes happens March 10?
For my hard working colleagues....
After 10 years in a corporate job, here are 25 lessons I wish I knew in my 20s. If you have a corporate 9-5 job, this one is for you: Negotiate the terms of every job offer The salary, days off & job title can always be changed Take the... — read more
RBU Townhall

Best Question
Whoever asked in Subsurface TH about the value case for an EE to stay. My hero! What other rockstar questions have you heard??
MCBU Town hall
My guess is that they will only announce a couple of more levels of the organization today, not all of them. Thoughts?
Decisions when severed?
Watching the videos on severance and benefits brings up decisions to make. What’s the pros and cons on: pension: defer or pay out? At best, the increase if I wait is a little over 4%. Seems like I could do better if I withdraw the lump sum... — read more
Hunger Games
We need to flip this around. If the leaders want the hunger games, then let’s give them the hunger games. Push and speak up at every opportunity. Use these town halls to let them know that we’re calling their bs. Make their day worse than the... — read more
AEOI Button
Do you think it is a large number of people that pushed the AEOI Button with just a basic severance?
Wells townhall
Heard a rumor that they announced new hires within their first year will be safe from layoffs which was announced at wells townhall. Is this true? Does this apply to other functions too?
AEOI is the only real option for those in SR who do not wish to relocate
In the past people would apply for jobs they knew they had no chance of being selected for, but you can't do that when all someone has to do is walk you in to a Houston job. At that point you're sc--wed. No severance. If your job involves an... — read more
Who’s the real fat around the waist???
Pascagoula is practically untouched, now you know!!!
Write Trump: Tax outsourced engineering
Maybe we should write our representatives and ask that the value of engineering services from India to American companies should be subject to a 200% tariff?
The basics and the staples
Chevron talks big on AI, yet we still have no clue about digital. In fact, let's scale back on digital and fix the fundamentals. How about you, boffins, help Notepad from not crashing now and then?
Town halls
Seems like every town hall is barely more informative than the last. You may only get one tiny tidbit out of each meeting. Hardly transparent or it just means they are being transparent and don’t have it figured out yet which is a whole other... — read more
Are people going to seriously look at Talent Cards?
Why are they going to do, review thousands of those things?
They should add an AEOI counter to the HR page
Let the people see how many colleagues are fed up and hoping to leave.
Accountability
Imagine if the BOD took this stance. You get once chance to get it right (think reorg). If you don't produce after that, you're gone.
what to do if I will be oversea in May and June, but can't take computer with me?
thinking about many people may need to take vacation during summer time
Talent Card Grammar Help
Role refers to a character played by an actor, a part an individual plays in a real-life scenario, or a function someone or something serves. Roll, on the other hand, typically signifies a list or roster, the act of turning over and over, or a small... — read more
4 hours a Week
That’s nice. Working 4 hours a week for the sla-ghtering of 20% of your workforce. At least pretend to care or at use Vas---ne.
What Will Happen to the Land Department?
How deep will the layoffs be?
Select the right employees!
While changing processes, workflows and organizational charts can help, they're not as impactful as having employees with the right personality and performance. If we want strong performers, we should select employees with the highest number of... — read more
Employee in Houston on global contract
What would happen the employees in Houston that are a the global payroll, not the US one ? I think there are still quite a lot of them in Houston . Will they be switched to a US contract ?
How will the actual layoff go down?
Will they call people at home and tell them there badge has been deactivated and somebody will clear out their desk? I don't think IT people will want to talk face-to-face. given how cr-ppy this layoff has been handled.
AEOI for Internatioal BUs
Does anyone know if local employees in international locations (Nigeria, Angola, etc..) received an AEOI email?
Did everyone in IT get AEOI?
Or only specific teams? I see some people on the board did not get it, so just curious.
GO-441-1020 - removing data from network
I AEOI’d today. San Ramon, 20 year tenure, recently (Oct ‘24) promoted to 22. It was a good run but no way am I going to the swamp. Use the GO-441-1020 form if removing personal data from the network. Source in cyber says severance will be at... — read more
Accountability and root cause
We’re talking about accountability. The first step in true accountability is admitting failure and taking ownership of one’s actions. Yet, ELT and Senior Leadership seem to believe that accountability applies only to employees, while leadership... — read more
PSG layoffs
I'm a PSG 19, been with the company 11 years. This is different-ish than the last reorg. Without BU's, does anyone have any ideas how we function without reporting to specific functions?
HESS acquisition
Anyone going over to the Exxon layoff site to read what they’re saying about CVX and the arbitration? It’s interesting.
