So far I haven't been able to get a better offer, but I am surprised when I hear from people how much more they are paid in other companies in the industry. Sometimes people like to exaggerate, so I wonder if it's really true that there are... — read more 

Team Leads & Middle Managers are a big problem and an absolute waste of money for Chevron. For the most part they do not work. Most of them are on the internet all day and watch videos and play solitary on their personal iPads. They are mostly... — read more 

hi what is the chance to get promotion as proposed by supervisor and supported by PDR approved this year? seems smaller than last year as oil price is lower, thoughts?

Yet somehow, employees are still underpaid and we still have to worry about layoffs. Go figure.

I’ve seen many recent cvx hires who were ex-chevron, went to work for another major for a few years, and now are back with chevron. Can anyone share what chevron rehire policy is? I am ambivalent about working with these people.

Chevron has been seeking this 'profitability shift' since MW started asset sales in earnest in 2018. Translation: we sell long-term but low-margin conventional assets, particularly 3rd world stuff, and plow the money back into North American UCRs (to... — read more 

Phew! Looks like the green wave has dampened a little. For another year we can fool around with hydrogen and biodiesel, and pretend we're "transitioning".

Any thoughts on how long the transition will be post close for the back office work (accounting, production, DO)? Assuming everything goes pretty quick since its not your first rodeo.

It’s been 10-15 minutes since chevron embarked on some sort of restructuring; will the PDC acquisition turn into an “opportunity to adjust what we didn’t get exactly right in functional transformation”...?

Anyone here has experience working in 2 or all of these companies and can share ? Is it a lot less bs than CVX? Which one is more about business rather than social engineering?

What are y’all’s predictions in regards to staffing levels and profitability of CVX given the current administration (and EPA rule proposals, not to mention individual state regulations) vendetta on reducing oil consumption? Mike states that only 25%... — read more 

Any ideas on if CVX counter offers to those who leave? Or is it generally a quick and easy sayonara? Or is to a select few ie hi pots?

The “Baroness” Dambisa Moyo, who is on the CVX Board of Directors, has been invited to this year’s Bilderberg Meeting. Dambisa has hardly any real-world experience; a few years at several banks when she was not working on her PhD or writing books so... — read more

Natural gas prices have really plummeted. Rig counts are falling faster than ever. What's next?

I retired a few years back just as the Chevron Way was transforming into the new Agile Way. Is everyone now working faster and more productively than ever before? My impression of the whole transformation was that it was a useless waste of time... — read more

No. Chevron does not value its (few and far between) successful oil explorers. Want proof? Just ask your Chevron recruiter or your contacts there if they can name just 4 or 5 current and successful oil explorers in the company. Maybe the... — read more 

I wouldn't be surprised if Chevron continued its outsourcing strategy this year. So many companies are laying off at this time that it would draw very little criticism and bad publicity. I might be wrong about this, but do you think our leadership... — read more 

Ever since I read “The Prize” in middle school I have dreamed of becoming one of the great oil explorers. Now that I started my master’s degree in geology I am wondering if Chevron would be a good employer to help me fulfill my dreams.

What will happen first: DM takes CN’s job or DM has heart surgery? Poor guy is gulping for breath on every town hall Poor us if they keep promoting him

Why does Chevron have such a huge office in Midland compared to XTO?

With more high profits I just don't understand the budget cuts and laying off contractors in many departments. Why continue to make life worse for employees when we have been put through so much since 2020? No wonder retention is a major issue here. — read more 

Word on the street is SR and Houston will be moving to once a week in office schedules in an effort to make it a more attractive place to work.

What does having your 90 points actually get you?

Chevron website lists all kinds of awards from diversity/wokeness organizations. Draw your own conclusions.

Disappointing production news in the 1Q23 earnings report. It has fallen and we are back under 3 million BOEPD. Terrible. Apparently Permian growth it not what was hoped. Royalty production is now forecast to be flat all year. Gads.

Been hearing that a PSG realignment is now onto voting from big Mike. What do you guys think? Should it be approved? Will this finally make us equal to our upstream and midstream folks?

Does anyone have any experience on working at Richmond CTC? How’s the morale and work life balance ?

Seems anything that is real but uncomfortable for the company is shut down on layoffs.com. Time to go elsewhere???

I'm less than thrilled that we're transitioning our Vanguard funds to BlackRock, who mandates the "current thing", aka ESG to companies their invested in, and overemphasizes ESG scores vs. profit in the funds they offer.

Mike Wirth gets a 10% raise: I guess his compensation does not depend on safety performance like the rest of us.
