Too many people with experience and valuable knowledge are going to our competition because they're getting better offers. I'm yet to hear about any of them getting a counteroffer once they give their notice. Does this leadership really think we can... — read more
Transform To Lose
2020 was the year that destroyed Chevron. The cuts were far too deep and destructive. I don't think MW has learned from that. You can layoff to win!
Say bye to hybrid?
With all the blood baths today I cannot help but think hybrid is gone. I know many hate RM but she did give us hybrid. Now she is gone so MW and MN arent gonna take it.

Bad numbers today
We can celebrate people in leadership being punished all we want. But we know we are going to pay the price for all bad decisions and incompetent management. Reorg, layoffs and other cost cutting which will impact us are coming. And we can only... — read more
Time for MW to go!
Hes destroyed chevron with all his extreme cuts and layoff obsession. Need someone with a heart as CEO if that exists now days!
RM to the history trash bin
Finally, some common sense prevails. Unfortunately, this realization comes a bit too late, but better late than never. The destruction caused by RM incompetence and social engineering agenda is irreversible, and it will take decades to recover, if... — read more
A Bit of Good News
On a day like today, let’s celebrate this bit of good news: we are finally getting rid of our Oprah wannabe
Production: Permian vs PDC acquisition
Someone check my math here, but isn’t nearly all of the increased production from PDC? Related, how embarrassing weak is organic growth…
MW feeling the heat?
With the sudden “retirements”, move, etc seems like maybe the board told Mikey to get his act together…DO BETTER
Houston
People from Houston, what do you like and dislike about living there. Let's say I have to move there from NorCal, what would you tell me.
Another Downstreamer in charge of Upstream
I know he’s just there to swing the Axe for Mike, but still need to run the business in the meantime in what needs to be a critical time for exploration success. Can’t have anymore short term margins thinking.
Major Question
What will MW do with his prized California boxed seats? Will he still use them or use the boxes in Houston? He won't be able to give up luxury.
Earnings call
What a disaster performance, ExxonMobil earning is up 17% and we are down, that sets the stage for yet another horrible CIP and justification on another huge re-org and layoffs. Good luck to all, it is always working bees that will be thrown under... — read more

The problem with manilla and india
The problem I've seen with India contractors and our own manilla engineers is maybe 20% are good and the rest are terrible. All their work has to be redone correctly and not really sure what they are contributing. How long will it take for them to... — read more
San Ramon HQ Getting Axed
How many of you are impacted by the decision that's coming out soon around San Ramon HQ moving to Houston? How many of you will not get severance packages for choosing not to take your role in Houston? How many of you will move...? It was a good run... — read more
Offshoring nearshoring layoffs
I've heard people say all IT and other jobs will eventually be in manilla, ba, and india. Just trying to determine if there's still at least some hope of having a job hear in ten years considering they are pumping money into the Houston offices to... — read more
I no longer recommend Chevron as a good place to work
I stopped a while ago. I know there are plenty of those who disagree with me, but I've been here for several decades and I've seen with my own eyes how much working conditions, culture, and work environment deteriorated over the years. I can't wait... — read more
All the MIT SE grads
Should have created a massive change in the company by now, right?
Rumors of IT layoffs
Other than the town hall that was vauge has anyone heard anything or know when it's coming?
How are the mid year PMPs looking fam?
Remember: valuable contributor is the new exceeds expectations
Don't Trust Les no More
It's obvious based on his town hall performance that he's looking to get out of the US and send everything overseas. Time for all the US based IT people to leave. Don't stay to train your replacement.
4 years since "Transformation to Win"
Someone said in another post that it's been 4 years since "Transformation to Win" and any failure is on Execute Management. They are absolutely right. The employees have dealt with multiple layoffs including some going on now, the outsourcing of some — read more
So Long Scrum Masters.........
It's been a pleasure to work with some of the Scrum Masters over the years that actually helped make a difference. Agile isn't popular, but some of the SMs here really did a great job. I do find it odd that our leaders can't even tell the SM's... — read more

Agile was a complete waste of time
Yes, Agile was a complete waste of time and a major distraction. A short-term, micro-management focus for technical, long-term, capital-intensive projects should have been recognized as a huge mistake before it was even proposed (let alone adapted)... — read more
MKW SETH = Layoff Notice
MKW doing a town hall in the middle of the year. He has sharpened his axe. Let the hunger games begin!
Business Woke Casual
RM fawning over a Super Bowl ring (heart flutter) and a bunch of trite pablum from some nobody. Is this really worthwhile? What is the point, other than a vanity TV show nobody cares about.
CBU layoffs
These will be the next round, they don’t need to wait for this new survey’s results, just for the sale to close…..
Chevron has found a more efficient way to shed employees
Layoffs and firings have become too costly for Chevron. Instead, the leadership has found a new way to push employees out. They keep piling on work, stress, and criticism until people just can’t take it anymore and leave on their own. And it's... — read more
Anything positive other than having a job?
Has anyone remotely had anything improve recently? All I ever hear is management making decisions to anger the employees and drive morale lower. Not a great way of raising productivity. If the rumor about hybrid is true then it will be another... — read more
