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.
Does Design Engineering (DE) that support refineries fall under Operations or Facilities Engineering?
A bit confused on the new org chart for DMC vs TPE
Upstream Townhall
Are we going to get any real info in the upstream townhall townhall or is it more nothing Burger nonsense?
If our execs worked as hard on business as they do on reorgs we wouldn’t need reorgs
Just what I said above in the title. It’s all so absurd.
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.
Are those on maternity/paternity leave safe?
I don't think I can get fired for being a mother, but there isn't anything legal to prevent myself being laid off for a made up "poor performance" right...
Still numerous Chevron Bengaluru positions still advertised after 6 months… any feedback?
Regarding the relevant experience, quality of the candidates, suitability of the role positions and basic English of the current selected candidates?
CVX needs to go to the "TOP of it" and not to the "BOTTOM of it"
If they want something meaningful after this ANOTHER REORG . How many so far? Way too many without results! They just shuffle people or positions around. Move this guy there, the other over there and move around this position from here to there... — read more
Why no information on EB and finance?
So where is EB and her finance team? All moving to service centers?
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
CVX Houston just hired a Security Advisor/Executive Protection
I guess they’re scared employees might riot when they start getting those termination letters and talks. They will need how to evacuate the ELT from the masses lol
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

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
Imagine getting asked this simple question - "what they got done last week"

Give a break! The way yall complain about anything end everything going on wrong in your lives in spite of all laws and rules being made for and by white straight christian men is ridiculous. Anyone would think yall were the oppressed enslaved... — 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?
Serious question - will Talent Statements even be looked at?
I mean there will be THOUSANDS of these reviewed. How much good can they possible do?
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
AEOI runs from Feb 28 through Mar 10. Our IT town hall is Mar 5
Then there are another layer of town halls after LCs So basically we have maybe 2-3 days to decide on AEOI if we want to have any kind of information on what the new org is going to look like. How thoughtful of them to wait and do these town halls... — read more
Selection Process?
