The Corporate greed is out of control
cvx roughly made $14.43 billion net profit this year. Interest rate reductions are expected. Leadership still wants to perform massive layoffs. Mergers result in less jobs, less choices, and higher prices. Mergers need rejected. Can't compete... — read more
I’ve started looking for other opportunities
Writing has been on the wall for quite a while. Engine, restructuring, more offshoring on the side. I expect a lot of layoffs to come our way, and I don’t want to be here when sh-t hits the fan. I think it will be worse than ever before, and it will... — read more

Nobody's got your back
If you’re still holding onto the idea that CVX leadership has your best interest at heart, it’s time to let that go. And it's not just here. No matter the company, it’s all the same. The harder you work, you keep making someone else richer. The truth... — read more

Engine confirms reorg failure
Given that it takes 2ish years to judge the success of a reorg, and that it probably takes 18 months to plan something like Engine - the failure of the 2020 reorgs must’ve been immediately recognized at high levels. But what I find myself wondering... — read more

How did EB do?
How did she do? Anyone watched her?
Engine = Structural
Seen it in Exxon, when the CEO says structural, he means layoffs. That’s the code word in us analyst community. He needs to show reduction like Exxon did. Exxon went from 74000 employees to 62000, and also grew in cheap countries by 5000. That’s... — read more

My manager is avoiding me
I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if he knows something about the future (that I'm being laid off, for example) and can't face me. He's a good guy and we usually have a good working relationship, so this has me worried. I tried talking to him... — read more
Chevron is way better than BP and BPX.
I left Bpx about 8 months ago to come here. Despite all of the inadequacies at Chevron the opportunity for career growth is way better and the assets are healthier. Bp has invested in pi-s poor returns and a small select few get opportunities at Bpx... — read more

I can’t wait to be gone from here
The Chevron of today doesn’t resemble the Chevron I started working for. Also, twelve years has been more than enough, and it stopped being challenging, interesting or motivating a while ago. The direction Chevron took with absorbing and offshoring... — read more
