For purposes of layoffs, what is considered a “high at risk PSG?” I’m late-mid career and was part of a merger where I accepted a lower position and subsequently assigned a PSG that fit that lower position, not necessarily my experience in the... — read more
MW, EB, MN and BK need to go
Enough is enough
I can’t wait to see fantastic reorg ideas
I’m sure that, in the long run, not much will change—except that many of us will end up jobless. C-suite don’t really have a clue about what they want to achieve beyond cutting costs. When cost-cutting becomes the sole focus, the company has no... — read more
Freezing temperatures in Houston
For those who just arrived from California, freezing temperatures in Houston cause the power grid to collapse here, so it is best to start booking flights to Cancun today! You can just leave your dog in the frozen house with a bag of food until you... — read more
I Got Told That I Will Not Have A Job In MCBU
Given how quickly things are changing these days, I guess I should’ve been more prepared for this conversation. I consider myself to be a decent employee—I get my work done, and if you recall the old system, I was always a dependable 2, no matter the... — read more
Reorg in the RBU
Already started. Someone got the news for “reassignment” and the deck chairs are starting to get rearranged.
Take it from a long ternured employee
I’ve seen this one too many times. Reorg gets announced > people panic > reorg commences > I don’t lose my job > everything returns to normal. Based on m that, everything will be fine because I NEVER lost my job. Why would it happen now? Continue to... — read more
McKenzie here
Could you please develop a flow chart of every detail of your job, and post it here? We would like it very much.
If you were CEO, what changes would you make?
What would be your goals and what would you do to accomplish them?
Malaise and apathy
It’s everywhere. The whole company has quietly quit. Good luck getting an email returned or call answered - particularly from any support function. I’ve been through a lot of these at this point in my career, and I’ve never seen it quite this... — read more
Healthcare costs
That's my one worry if I'm laid off. Everything else I can deal with. I've looked at all the options, and honestly, there isn't a good one. Not when you have a chronic disease. That's the part that’s been keeping me up at night, running through... — read more
BP announces layoffs
BP continues to struggle, lagging all competitors with horrible financials and is now planning to fire quite a few staff. This won't help the already very difficult job market for unemployed oil and gas workers.
We must work TOGETHER
CORPORATE DOESNT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS: if you like and share this by MIDNIGHT, the reorg MONSTER will pass over YOU and give you an automatic PSG bump!!!!! I just did it and WOW $$$!!!
Layoffs of 60% in FSS (Finance Shared Services)
FSS states 60% reduction in USA employees while moving positions to other countries. In my opinion, the number of positions available for most teams will be significantly smaller than current staffing positions in the USA. I believe 30%+ and some up... — read more

I’m EOI-ing and nothing is holding me back
18 yrs with the company and truthfully it’s been disappointing. Misleading career opportunities and unfulfilled promises. I’m a PSG 20, yes you read that right, I’ve only received 2 promotions my entire career. My last promo being 6 yrs ago because... — read more
Asset vs Business units
Bit of a noob here, so hoping someone can explain how it would be different for us if we move from a BU structure to an asset structure. Aren’t the BUs functionally based on assets? What am I missing?
Any ideas?
How can we make sure everyone at chevron reads these posts?. They are great and help regular cvx employees understand the root cause of our problems, that it has to do with the elt and not with how hard we work.
I'm numb
This has dragged on for so long that Idgaf anymore about what's coming. Getting laid off? Cool, I’ll deal. Staying? That's fine. I’ve been so stressed about it that I’ve done a full 180 and ended up not feeling anything. Not sure if that’s better... — read more
The only reasonable plan is to be prepared, and not be anxious
I stopped investing myself in Chevron. I’m looking at it like just another job with a short expiry date. I’m not doing any extra hours if I can help it (and I often can), I’m not trying to be constructive and helpful, nor I’m signaling that I’m... — read more

which websites you use to look for a job
linkedin, indeed, any else? which is better for oil & gas industry?
structural raise
while thinking of reorg and layoff, I heard about this year's structural raise is 2%, have you guys heard anything different?
Pension money
If left standing can we choose the last day of employment as pension start date and cash it out? Even though you are no where close to normal retirement age?
just enough
I’m no longer going above and beyond. No more working 9/80’s, vacation days, sick days, before hours or after hours.
Succession Planning
Not a good look that MW and his ELT are ineffective at succession planning. The number of external hires that are being made to assume executive positions is a) morale destroying for those within the company who have aspirations of highest levels of... — read more
Need external ceo
MN and EB need to go as part of this reorg. Need external executives. MW has no capital left with employees. The man is vain. Too busy giving promises to th the street, while the company struggles. Id--ts promote id--ts. MW promoted id--ts such as... — read more
I can't think of any reason for the RTO other than attrition
There have already been studies conducted on RTO policies in other companies, and they all reach the same conclusion: RTO reduces productivity and morale, creates widespread frustration, and, most importantly, leads to the loss of talent. The most... — read more

When we together (in person) amazing things happen
A core message of the upcoming SETH is that: We all need to return to the office, because when we are together "amazing things happen". Please let's not bring up how this directly contracts us offshoring 20-30% of our people to India for cost... — read more
New VP
Nothing like an outside hire to reassure everyone that if they work hard, put in the time, and drink the blue/red Koolaid you’ll be rewarded in the end. What an insensitive thing to do at a time where everyone is wondering if the time and effort... — read more

Any word on 3/3/3
Hearing some rumors about 3/3/3 offering for EOI? But no real explanation what that means, not a date though.
Looking forward to next week

Reorg Timing and Details
So what’s the plan and when will it be executed?
To ELT - Accountability
When is ELT going to be accountable for the problems in the company? Before a single person is laid off MW, MN, EB and the rest need to take a pay cut and apologize for the mess and stress they have put the employees through. It was the... — read more
