Anyone applying jobs during work hours? Asking for a friend…

All indicators based on what Mike is saying there will be more layoffs enterprise wide. Didn't he say they weren't going to do that anymore after the layoff to end all layoffs in 2020? Can we trust anyone above our direct supervisor, if that?

Skip the holiday parties. Don’t socialize with leaders that don’t care about you and will fire you tomorrow. Don’t feed their egos. It won’t help you in the layoffs.

There's a lot of IT comments trickled through each post. Let's keep it in the family. I'll start by saying IT has been a sh1t show since ImagineIT. Our great leaders took everything bad about the old ITC model and created something even worse. Here... — read more

Man, I’m really wondering if this time they’ll actually factor in education and experience during the selection process. Feels like there are so many so-called 'leaders' out there with zero legit education or real experience, just making mess after... — read more 

I'm newer to Chevron and still learning the ropes. I assume valuable contribution is basically average or meets expectations and, thus, gets people a 3% raise. But how does exceeds expectations affect your raise? Does anyone ever get exceeds in all... — read more

Through out the entire DEI program, save $$$ there and the rest will fix itself!

What impact will the upcoming layoff announced have on the CIP? Does anyone think differently about their CIP guesses?

Chevron’s 2025 capital budget is about $2 billion less than its 2024 budget. https://stocks.apple.com/AyY6Kk64bTruuYn8rY1gqew

There’s no way they actually execute on $700-900 million in layoffs this quarter, so why put it on the books already?

I know it's early but does anyone know where the EOI will be? Mikey said something like "some locations" - I'm guessing US only?

Well today is the day for some kind of big announcement….. I wonder what it will be….?

If the goal is 600 by end of 2025, they need to get started. Looks like there’s still the same 50+ postings up on the career site.

Tomorrow is the last day with Chevron for most of us in CBU. While I am sad that I’m not leaving on my own terms, or with any choice really, I do appreciate the time I had with this organization. I came in at a good time and was even able to do some... — read more
