With the announcement of ENGINE maybe the media needs to get involved with the Un-American leadership we have.
Competitive shouldn't equal backstabbing
What's with so many Chevron employees who think that to be competitive you also have to be a backstabber? I understand you want to get ahead, but you can also do it through hard work instead of stepping on people in an effort to speed up the process... — read more
Engine
Welcome to the battledome. It's going to be a tough season for engineers. Way to support American jobs MW.
Alleged Big Announcement
Been hearing all over the place of some big announcement. Anybody with any credibility know what's going on? Will the announcement be as un-American as the rumors say?
Exxon announces layoffs
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/exxon-mobil-issues-layoff-notice-in-texas-amid-60-billion-acquisition-deal/ No surprise here - every big acquisition has a big layoff. Chevron would be this year as well if Exxon hadn't held up Hess in... — read more
Worst CEO?
For those who have been around a while who is the Worst CEO you have worked under? For me its MW. His legacy is destroying the morale of the company and layoffs. He seems to want to double down on this. The board needs to make a change now!
Any updates on Cbu sale process & layoffs?
Going to happen this year?
Value centers - where ?
In the townhall it was mentioned more use of value centers. Greater use of existing centres in Manila and BA but sounded like there might be new ones set up too. Are we just talking about India here ? Wonder if anyone has the scoop

Idea on When Requirement to Houston will Occur
If I have a solid year, I’ll hold off on job hunting, but definitely will have my eyes open.
Outsource Wirthless!
This should be illegal all the outsourcing. MW must not stand for his country and only his rich buddies. He is one terrible person. Anyone who says we need to catch up to the other companies who are ruthless must have no s oul either.
Why hiring
Why are we hiring anyone from universities if all jobs are leaving the us?
What are they cooking?
There was no conclusive decision in townhall other than accountability and simplification and focus on execution, but what are they cooking for the employees? Someone please spill the beans, there is something being planned behind the door in SR.
Who misses big Joey G
I do 😞
Message from MW
The US employees aren't as good as overseas employees. Doesn't have anything to do with costs. I think we need to have a higher quality CEO that is overseas!
MW Hinting at heavy loss of US jobs
The comments sure make me think he's looking to send corporate functions overseas
Shared Energy Town Hall Thread
Let’s get this party started early! I predict doom and gloom combined with Dom asking questions.
How many hours do you work on a typical day?
I'm curious, considering that so many say they're overworked.
Anchor
How is this project? Seems quite small (only 75K-bbl/day) How was the execution? I didn’t see any cost escalation in the quarterly reports, was it hidden away?
DSC
Anything related to the center, drop it here. This should be interesting.
HR changes
Any other changes you’d expect to see in next few months with HR?
Layoffs are inevitable
I hope all of you are preparing for that certainty and not just hoping for the best.
Promotions - anyone getting them this year?
From what I hear leadership is going to be very strict with promotions this year. They used to hand them out easier from what it seems.
Condition of the WCs
The conditions of the WCs is a tale tale sign of how the morale of a company is doing. The WCs seem to be wrecked and falling apart. We really need to get the BE in chief out of here.
NH Leaving for new opportunities?
why does NH retire? any inside stories?
Does Chevron do PIPs?
Or do you get fired right away if you get a bad rating?
SR to Houston, No severance package.
What's the over/under that many in SR will accept the "job offer" but never move? Will that give them about an extra year or so to skill up and look for another job? Does CVX put any contingencies into these offers to keep this from happening?
Trim the Fat
Call out any deadweight you want to see go.
OPG ROM?
What’s all this about the brass announcing an OPG ROM verbally at the SR town hall ?
SR Townhall was a dumpster fire
Very limited space so vast majority couldn’t attend. Teams invite/meeting didn’t work for first 20 minutes and crashed. Audio beyond poor, couldn’t hear what was being said. What a train wreck.
Anyone notice the intranet site no longer allows comments or likes?
I guess the feedback rich environment is no longer a thing.
We are bad at A LOT of things
We don’t hold anyone accountable to their “deliverables.” From the field all the way to upper level management. Instead let’s use this woke feel-good bandaid called Human Performance and say it’s the system because be don’t want to upset anyone... — read more

Who’s buying SJV?
CRC?
Dividends and share buybacks
“Chevron Sent Shareholders $50 Billion Over the Last 2 Years (and There's a Lot More to Come)” How much was spent on exploration/building future reserves?
Reorg/layoffs are just a quick fix
Unless they are done strategically by competent people who know what they are doing. I can’t remember when was the last time I saw such top manager or heard of one. Whatever comes next must be strategically done by mgmt who has vision grounded in... — read more
What Are We Bad At?
First, this is not a "layoff" or "I dont want to go to the office" post. This is a post that hopefully some upper mgmt reads aside from some bi-annual or culture survey. For years now, the mantra has been we have to compete with our competitors... — read more
Move to Houston or Leave & No Severance
Way to deliver a giant f*** you to San Ramon employees! I do not trust ANYTHING that comes out of MW’s mouth at this point. True Chevron leaders like Ken Derr or DJO are a thing of the past. It’s not for me to judge you. I can only hope that karma... — read more
Any hope?
Is there any thing that beings you hope? Any chance that we are able to end the year better than we are right now? Or is there any hope that cvx will end 2025 better?
new news about the bad news
At least MKW delivered this 1st round of bad news himself. With PB gone, didn't have him to throw under the bus. . . way to 'be a man' MKW. Ok, next round of crazy - on or around 8/12, might be: Death of hybrid. This is short-term thinking... — read more
