ENGINE Engineers
Hi Ya’ll. No layoff news here nor any cheap shots at anyone-just a general concern. There are colleagues that I’ve become close with and genuinely care about at Chevron. I am scared for them and myself to work in/on/around anything that is designed... — read more
Post EOI blues
Will there be an impact if those of us who want out, miss out on the easy money? Will be morale be affected if we see others get paid out but we remain?
Reorg will lead to nothing but loss of our jobs
Chevron will continue being as dysfunctional and visionless as it is now.
EOI numbers
The unhappiness here us at all time highs as MW unleashes his grand vision of Cost Cutting to Win. I personally think the number of EOIs will be extremely high and this re-org will finish the company off after the last crippled it. Who here is going... — read more

Does the list already exist?
I can’t help but wonder if they already know who’s going to be laid off, if the list is already made and my manager knows but isn’t saying anything. The only reason I’d want to know in advance is because I’ve been job hunting. I wouldn’t leave... — read more
CTC 30% cut
You heard it from here
I can’t say I would regret being let go this year
I’ve been with Chevron for almost ten years now, and I’m exhausted. The work environment is increasingly toxic, work is becoming unrealistically demanding, and one still has no sense of a professional achievement. There are no career opportunities... — read more
Operations and Maintenance are the heart and soul!
I will throw in certain support staff also. We have government like layers of management. These layers of management are unnecessary in pulling and processing oil and yet they think it’s their bars and graphs and incessant meetings and speeches... — read more

Stay strong all… keep your head up
Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad. Orwell, 1984
When can we finally get back to business as usual?
This whole mess is getting exhausting.

HOU Days in office regardless of snowpocalypse
Dear Chevron management: why are you requiring days in the office this week in Houston? HRCMC asked people to work from home due to Snow and the amazing Chevron leadership teams are asking people to come in and do their required days. wtf
DEI is gone
Come on Mike admit it. The disaster DEI has created In our once great company. It happened on your watch and you need to follow the government approach shut down all DEI activities from close of business today.
Is this intentional?
Unrealistic expectations are driving people away in droves. Deadlines have become brutal, leaving even seasoned pros struggling to keep up. Goals are so far-fetched, it feels like employees are being set up to fail. To make matters worse, leadership... — read more

Downstream/Midstream. Manufacturing. Coincidence?

If Trump is successful driving down energy costs, we all realize that’s bad for us, right? All this ENGINE nonsense just to have Trump crater our stock?
I decided not to wait till mid-Feb
Only to participate in a dragged-out, stressful reorg, wondering for god knows how long if I’ll have a job or not at the end of the process. I’ve spent almost 20 years in the industry, more than 10 of which were at Chevron, and I’ve decided it’s been... — read more
PM revamp
I like what I’m seeing so far: goals tied to business objectives, deliver results as primary focus, use AI to draft your goals to avoid wasting time. We’ll see if leaders are actually serious when it comes to ranking. Either you delivered and it... — read more

Ice Collaboration to Win?
No notice on if they want us in office during a winter storm. Maybe if we get stuck in downtown we will all work together for over 24 hours. Ice issues are worth it for in person!
