Any ideas?

There are a lot of cuts going on a lot of reorganizations. Are layoffs coming? We are doing well as a company but MW does seem to want layoffs often here so they have to be coming soon to quench the layoff thirst.

Earnings release was published the same time as executive changes. Earnings aren’t scheduled until Friday. Someone messed up, someone in Investor Relations is going to get it.

It bothers me that Chevron is no longer the innovative company it once was. Whatever happened to this company's innovative spirit, where did it go?

If you’re over 50…how much have you saved? How much is stashed and saved and how much expected from pension or lump sum? Are you close to being ready for retirement? How much is not enough to continue putting up with the B$#@!S&#@%#?
