Does anyone know if the office was further destroyed? Maybe it's a sign to management to stop being obsessed with RTO

I'm tired of being surrounded by sycophants who keep claiming that everything is just perfect. People on this board give me hope.

We can all agree this was tech induced fomo performative nonsense and move on now, right? I’m assuming that the fact we NEVER here about from the C suite anymore means they understand it doesn’t work and we should get back to our lives.

Who is the cost cutter in chief at Chevron? It's seems Executive Management's only strategy is cost cutting and layoffs for the rank and file. Is it truly MW pushing all this or others trying to impress him since he loves a good cut? Anyone know... — read more 

Has anyone heard anything positive about the new Russian immigrant manager from Nobel, Sergay SucMenoff?

As we approach the anniversary of the Nobel acquisition, it occurs to me this might be the best acquisition ever for CVX. Where would CVX be without NBL reserves and talent? Med assets have been printing money. RBU quietly outperforms MCBU. And it... — read more 

Plans to lay down a rig or two. McScuse me?

For anyone who knows executive management or has heard something what is with the obsession with RTO. We proved we can get all our work done from home and people can slack off in office. In Houston there are risks of falling glass especially seeing... — read more

Buffett buying up Oxy and is now at 30%. I would not put it past him to be behind the scenes talking to Chevron and Oxy CEO's about Chevron buying Oxy. If the Hess deal goes south it might be something that will happen in the next year or two.

Thoughts? is a re-org/layoff on the way?

To ‘reduce’ travel costs CTC mgt want us to book travel costs directly to BU cost codes rather than GO113s. You couldn’t make this s*** up if you tried

How much longer until the refinery gets converted to a products terminal? Wonder what untold effects the new taxes will have. Is the city’s cash cow running dry?

Just stay under the scaffolding, and don’t look up, and wonder at our iconic buildings.

Wow Angola and Australia exploration announced in the same news cycle. Someone in management finally figure out that oil companies occasionally need to explore for new oil if they want to continue raising shareholder dividends?

Any bets that MW is praying someone gets destroyed by falling glass so he can lower the CIP even more?

Has the new CIO said anything or done any kind of town hall? Is he too busy outsourcing to India to talk?

He’s a big time author. What happened to his post?

When is RTO?
