Some HR sycophant just announced that we are heading to Portland to recruit at an “oSTEM” conference. The “o” stands for “out” and the conference is designed to recruit “out” prospective employees. I can’t believe we approve travel budgets for this... — read more 

Other than that HORRIBLE town hall, where has this guy been hiding? Someone on here called out he brought in LM from GM and a couple days later HT sent out a personnel announcement on his behalf about it “make sure to say “hello” to him in Houston... — read more 

SCM should go out first. Too many high level PSG’s not creating enough value to the org.

I'm hearing it could be 2 or 3 weeks per year of service. TBD

The timelines for IT cuts have been accelerated. Do not be thrown off guard.

What happened to many middle to senior level managers? Instead of deeply understanding the business to drive improvements, they are focusing on chairing forums and delivering keynote speeches while our performance suffers. Rather than rehearsing... — read more 

Let’s hear em. Time with company and balance. I just hit a million, little over 16 years. I missed the pre 2008 pensions so I know I’m missing out on a lot but still pleased.

If we get nothing else out of the re-org in progress, we must eliminate these horrible Chapters. They have added no value and simply confuse everyone with excess matrix and overlap. They destroy accountability and most are led by the weakest... — read more 

If you’re an employee from a recent acquisition (e.g. Noble and such) what’s your thoughts on Chevron (culture, leadership, anything). I’d love to know an outside perspective! I’ve been with Chevron most of my career and I really don’t know anything... — read more 

I'll be resigning next week - any idea what to expect? There's no official notice period, do they tend to just escort people out?

I know this is not a layoff topic but need advice on how to address a manager who is exhibiting signs of mental health issues (possibly bipolar). In recent months my boss, who had been a high performing manager, has begun to display very moody... — read more 

Some engine impacted folks have already been notified. Badges data has been shared with management and troublemakers have been contacted. Things are getting serious. They will delete this thread as well because they dont want any truth to come out... — read more

CNBC posted an article a few months ago called "How Walmart, Delta, Chevron and Starbucks are using AI to monitor employee messages". I'm curious if this will be used for sentiment analysis, using metrics to make determinations for stuff like ENGINE... — read more 

I’m relatively new to Chevron, and have no idea how it works here. In my previous company they only cared about your pay and whether you are on the brink of leveling up. Those they could make the easy cuts with were always first to go. Nothing else... — read more

The new CIO LC seems to be bringing in his bff's from GM and Dell as contractors to be his advisors on contracts, wonder how the other GMs are feeling?

Keep or sell?

What all leadership and organization changes can we expect as FGP goes online?

Any news how they are going to handle Hess employees ? They have a higher compensation package, they will just keep making more?

Significant re-structuring coming. NOJV-ing material parts of the DB in particular. Headcount reduction of 30% expected. We just can’t COOP like we used to.

I would appreciate any insights or theories on what the SLM email means to FE, OPS, and Maint. Kind of sounds like letting the fox watch the h-nhouse, but maybe it’s better. I sure do t believe BM will step up or even rock the boat.

I’m not sure what to make of the SRS email. Any insight or theories on how this affects the folks? I don’t think BD has the ability or will to protect them.

Any concerns on Duvernay sales

Looks like we brought external hire as Engine IT head. Canary in coal mine. Same will happen for all departments and all our jobs will move offshore. Let the hunger games begin

I hear that hundreds of people have been selected in the latest org chart. Should I be nervous that I have not received a phone call? Are they going to do quick cuts then LDs cuts in 2025?

I’ve been with Chevron for around fourteen months now, and I can’t help but wonder if I should even be worried about being laid off in the coming round. I've seen it mentioned here and I’ve read in several places that companies often target older... — read more
