Getting ready for Exxon

Re-org the same way as Exxon. Move the HQ to where they are. Clear out the C-Suite. Do all the hard work for them. Is the deal already done? Give it a a year or two and get it closed before Trump exits.

Actions have consequences

The longer we wait for layoffs, the worse my work ethic becomes. You don't care about my mental health? That's perfectly fine. I don't care about my productivity. I'll start late, I'll take long breaks, I'll ignore my emails for as long as I can. I'm... — read more 

Motivation is hard to find

CTC has become a depressing place to work. How are we supposed to plan and create valuable goals when our leadership’s goal is to eventually eliminate your job. My manager is helping feed this fire by making more “business” related requirements for... — read more 

Oil Industy is Toxic

The Oil industry has become an awful industry to work in due to CEOs like MW and DW at Exxon. The greed and disregard for employees is at its peak. Soon everyone will be outsourced in the industry other than big whilst. Field workers at some point... — read more 

Asset classes make no sense

Every re-org for decades Chevron has managed to amp-up the matrix element of the organization which blurs lines, confuses priorities and vastly adds cost and complexity. Asset classes is the ultimate matrix and looks to be the ultimate disaster. ... — read more

Older and paid well?

Your chances of surviving this reorg are minimal. The whole thing is about cutting as many of us in that category as possible. They'll toss in some younger folks too (age discrimination is illegal, at least for now), but we're the real targets. Why... — read more 

Full Return to office

I heard at SETH they’re going to “rally” us to come back to the office 5 days a week.

Fabulous comment on SETH

+36 There’s going to be an obnoxious animated video updating us on the wallpapered operational successes around the enterprise. Then there will be a few je-ks in a circle about how Chevron has “made strides” to some goal like Engine or CNE. He... — read more 

Fork in the Road

POTUS came in to office Jan 21 and all Federal Workers got their EOI letter already. How long can it take our HR guru's to draft something up? lol

Best News from SETH

CVX Swamp Creatures

I saw a post on here about the worst of the worst are at CTC. 5 will get you 10 there are more bottom feeding swamp rats at CPP. Seen it all in this gang of miscreants. Nepotism, good ole boys, juiced in untouchables….. you name it. Thoughts?

IT 3 days

Don't get it twisted, waiting till June to have IT in the office 3 days a week is not to be nice and give you time to figure things out. It's to give them time to wipe out IT, we'll have plenty of space by then. Also, how long do you think it will... — read more

Only three more sleeps until SETH - who’s excited? It’s either going to be a cataclysmic event or a complete nothing burger of vagaries and superlative platitudes. Let’s get the party started in here!

Slow to execute

Chevron always take so long to execute reorganization. They have a history of deciding they need change then take 2-3 years to execute the supposed cost savings. These periods of uncertainty lead to low productivity. If you are going to make changes... — read more 

RS the Snake ITFP Volunteer Day

Mike Wirth On Landman

It’s honestly laughable that Mike would even be asked about the Paramount series "Landman" and act like he’s got any real knowledge of the oil fields. I’ve known Mike his whole career at Chevron. The only time he’s ever set foot in an oil field was... — read more

DEI is to Blame But Not Why You Think

DEI has ki-led this company, but it isn't why you think. Sure, it helped usher in plenty of undeserving advancements or check the box hires. But let's be honest AA has done that for decades and there also are some great people that came via that... — read more

Selection committee??

Any idea of who will be determining our fates? I’ve heard it may be people who don’t even know us which is why we were instructed to update our talent cards.

I'm most likely gone

I joined less than six months ago, and I’m already convinced I’ll be out of a job once the reorg kicks in. I’m so pi---d. I turned down another offer for this. I actually thought I was lucky to get this opportunity. Yeah, right. I might be young, but... — read more

Advantage to Chevron’s slowness

Watching how quickly layoffs happened at Salesforce and Workday for once, makes me glad that Chevron is so slow. At least we have a chance to prepare for layoffs. Get your resume ready and start applying. The job market is tight and getting tighter... — read more
