Analyzing The Posters On This Site

I am not the OP but I think he/she/they put it on the wrong post so I moved it to its own. I hope that is OK. It was originally posted under, "This Site Is Amazing" Thank you for your note. I greatly appreciate it and am passionate about this work... — read more 

This Site Is Amazing

I reviewed some of the older posts and noticed that individuals who were previously labeled as a "troll" or "hater" was making comments that closely align with the current situation if not spot on. For example, they mentioned that Chevron’s policy of... — read more 

Not a Manager

I am not a manager, but I can only help but feel bad that some great managers will have to let go of good employees, some who they have bonded with and became friends with, along with their families, over the course of their careers. These reorgs are... — read more 

Let's lay off those who deserve it

How many VPs at Chevron have no clue what they’re doing? How many directors hold that title when their skills barely match those of an entry-level employee? And how many managers rely solely on fear to lead, completely lacking any real people skills?... — read more 

Accountability Please?

Hey MW and MN, show some decency and take a paycut to save some jobs. The lose in any environment is what caused this mess and you were the one desperate to have it with your OCD around cost cutting. You are creating a terrible legacy for yourself... — read more 

Modernizing DT offices

Chevron is modernizing the DT offices into full open floor, which nobody asked for and it’s a nightmare to work in due to everyone taking calls next to each other while they do massive layoffs. Makes you wonder where true priorities are, apparently... — read more 

EOI window

I am wondering how many EOI windows do we have. I know in feb/mar there is an accelerated EOI window. Then is it the only chance we have? Will the EOI be opened later in the year?

EOI and unemployment benefits in TX

"Texas law prohibits individuals from qualifying for unemployment benefits while receiving certain types of severance pay. We make a decision on whether the severance pay affects the claimant’s... — read more 

Will new hires be spared?

Will new hires in their first year be exempt from the selection events? If not, safe to say we’ll be the first to be laid off as it will be hard to compete with more experienced folks.

Impact on O&M

Anyone have any insight into how much O&M will be impacted this time around? Specifically in the Permian. We’re still pretty busy but I feel like our teams are way too big to and we hired a ton of trainees the past year.

MW's Failure

In 2020 we had the Winning in Any Environment layoff event. Since we are now laying off again it is obvious we lost in every environment. That falls on our leader MW's shoulders. We have lost the stated Chevron Way because of MW. We have little... — read more 

Preference for Houston vs San Ramon

Do you think Houston based employees will be preferred over San Ramon for a position if qualifications are the same? Do we think CVX will be willing to pay for SR people moves? This is so stressful, I just wish they would have announced the lower... — read more 

Don't relocate for Chevron

Relocating for Chevron might be the biggest mistake you could make in your career - even if they’re offering you a promotion. Think about it, you’d be uprooting your family and likely burning through a big chunk of your savings, all for a job that... — read more 

Please stop posting CVX benefits info

If the information is on an internal website, mention that. All you are doing by giving details here is telling other companies how low they can make offers to Chevron employees they want to hire. I want to negotiate with companies without them... — read more 

Chevron Singapore

Chevron Singapore has been hiring aggressively in the past couple years, taking experienced hires from shell/Exxon and other O&G companies. Any insights on the impact/cut targets for Chevron SG?

ABU - Australia

What is the latest for ABU? I have been off on holidays... Whats the the word at Elizabeth Quay?

Layoff priority.

They should start with the work from home crowd. Those are the most expendable as evidenced by their lack of work ethic.

Severance package

After seeing what Trump did for federal workers, MW should up the package. Who would’ve guessed that the DOGE package would be better than CVX. I knew that I should’ve taken that job with BLM.

Who decides our fates?

This is my 1st re-org at Chevron. Who will be deciding my fate? Is it my boss? Or is it the PDRs?

Hess

It would be interesting to hear what the integration teams are telling Hess employees these days

Grass, Sometimes, IS Greener

I left Chevron a few months ago. I was miserable. I had a similar story to many of you - pi---d off at how my career was handled despite multiple EEs several years in a row with stellar 360 feedback in a high visibility position. Instead of... — read more 

Union Chevron Oronite

I have been cut three times. I would love to take a retirement package to get out. I’m in the union and we cannot take the salary package, from what I’m told. The union buyout program is not very good.

EOI & Relocation

Anyone else notice in the EOI terms that if you’re offered a job that requires relocation, and decline, no severance…? If I’m in San Ramon I’d hit the AEOI button now as hard as I can.

Scope

They keep saying they will notify those who will be in scope for layoffs. In this case, who wouldn't be in scope???

We need DOGE 2025

It would be interesting to see a “DOGE” style audit of DEI spending and hiring practices. I remember the first time I heard that years of experience does not matter from a manager prior to the 2020 selection process. A lot of brainwashing in my... — read more 

How much are they really saving?

From offshoring to Manila, Buenos Aires and Bengaluru? Doesn't Chevron waste tens of billions of dollars in upstream exploration projects? Isn't that a executive failure that MCP projects go over budget and delays? Why does the axe fall on low level... — read more

Global offshoring of jobs

Germany executives must be using the same consultants. Fire and move jobs to India and China is all the rage. https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/germany-faces-year-industrial-strife-companies-go-into-battle-with-workers-2025-02-13/
