Topics regarding layoffs at Chevron Corp.

I’m stressed out of my mind

I wouldn’t feel this way if the job market weren’t as horrible as it is. If there were a decent chance of landing another job, I wouldn’t feel so cornered and anxious. I hope to keep the job, but I’m fully aware that the likelihood of losing it is... — read more 

Downstream Townhall

Downstream Townhall answered nothing of real relevance for employees. Also, is AW on something? He was red and sweaty and overly hyper. Not the look you want from someone that is as high a PSG and supposedly in charge.

Upstream Townhall

Are we going to get any real info in the upstream townhall townhall or is it more nothing Burger nonsense?

Feel good moment

Nothing makes me feel better about getting laid off than looking in my mailbox to find out 900,000 boe/d puzzle piece. Happy Tuesday everyone. One day closer to working at McDonalds.

Culture is the problem

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - expecting the same people who were too inept to even realize the problems they where in charge wont be, cannot be, the same people who can get us our. Culture is the problem, and this magic bullet org chart... — read more 

New executive org chart

So the new leadership org chart is out. Looks like the 15-20% headcount reduction does not apply to this group but did we actually think it would? I’m sure they are all getting only COL raises this year as well

Part-time Work While Being FTE

Hey, am I allowed to do a remote fellowship or research assistantship for 5-10 hours a week in the evenings while working full-time at CVX? It would help me gain experience in newer technologies that we don't use right now and beef up my grad school... — read more 

Safe career paths

It's 2025 and a lot has changed from offshoring engineering to AI. If I'm unlucky enough to get laid off and decided to get more education to switch to something more future proof: is there any good engineering or STEM based career path that... — read more 

There should be an Enhanced AEOI

“They” can get closer to the numbers they project if they have an enhanced AEOI. This way, those on the fence will volunteer and they can project even better and lessen the numbers competing for spots.

BP also in "green" trouble

Compare and contrast Chevron with BP and Exxon's "transitions". Remember before MW took over how JW implicitly stated that Chevron was in the oil and gas business 'for decades to come', and how he wasn't worried about (investing in) alternative... — read more 

Workday- Military Service

Anyone else get a questionnaire regarding military service in workday? Seemed kind of odd and specific. Had questions regarding disabilities and other types of service. Anyone care to shed some light on it?

AN ENGINE FOR UPPER MANAGEMENT

will probably do better than current mgmt if they believe that an ENGINE is the solution to regain lost positions.... Just move everything there.....

Hachetting of design engineering

If you work in a design/mechanical group that focuses exclusively on writing EWOs, latest rumors circulating is that these jobs will be heavily impacted by the new Engine group. We were told engine wouldn't impact positions but we were also told this... — read more 

PMP’s - why are we bothering?

Why are we even bothering with PMPs right now? Do they realize employees don’t even know what to put on there and we have to re-do it after the re-org (assuming we are still here). I’m so over re-work, paper and processes that don’t add value. I was... — read more 

Competing with Mid-Management?

It is pretty much accepted mid-managers and many advisors are being cut. Will those of us in the lower 20’s PSG be fighting against higher PSG’s for our jobs? Many of them haven’t done our jobs (came up through other paths) but I imaging could BS... — read more 

Chevron is at War

Let’s be honest—Chevron is at war with its own employees. This isn’t just a few disgruntled employees complaining; it’s a widespread issue that I see every day—in the offices, around the coffee machines, in private gatherings, and, of course, on... — read more 

AEOI, should I decline busy work?

Got another job lined up that starts as soon as I have my official end date. My manager is conducting non-critical busywork as an attempt to survive. Do I go ahead with it or respectfully decline as I have no intention to stay.

Yall are unbelievable and tone-deaf

We all know layoffs are coming to thousands of people and yall are are complying that if you survive you’re going to be overworked. The whole reason why this layoff is even happening is because y’all want to be treated like royalty for the job you... — read more 

2025 payscale

Someone has the newest pay scale and ranges? The avg raise was 2% this year, so should I just scale 2024 numbers ?

Competition per open role

From the talk of people around me it sounds like it could be 30 to 40 people in some cases applying to the same role. Maybe more. What have you heard?

Cloud and Agile Benefits?

The company went all-in on cloud computing (Azure) and Agile/Scrum. Cloud is a money waster in the long run. AI is a scam. And almost all IT projects are waterfall (not agile). Are those initiatives surviving?

Chevron’s Dirty Little Secret

Chevron's legal team isn’t just protecting the company—they’re protecting the worst people inside it. Security officers who cross the line, using tactics like the Reid technique (a method banned in many countries for being coercive and leading to... — read more
