Target for Layoff's
If there are layoff's in 2024 let's hope this time Chevron does not encourage or push experienced or older people to leave. We need to keep experience for a while after the great exodus of 2020. Layoff target this year should be the lower... — read more

Best place to work right now (BU)?

Coffee Badging
New study reports almost two thirds of office workers have confessed to coffee badging. I suspect it is much higher at Chevron. Do a walk around your floor this morning and tell us what percent occupied offices you see. I got 17% in HOU15.

Leave Chevron if you're unhappy here
