GOM reorg
The factory model is progressing in sprints and there is now talk of how the org looks to support this new model. The question is how long it takes for Chevron to execute this. Any thoughts?
Chevron is not a good employer
I don't care what some of the posters say, this company sucks. The only way I would consider it a good employer is if you only took into consideration the pay and ignored everything else. However, I can't ignore the toxic culture, expectations to do... — read more

Lump vs Annuity
When interest rates were 2% it was obvious that the lump was a much better deal than the annuity, but now with interest rates rising I would guess that at some point the annuity might actually become more attractive (this assuming that high interest... — read more
I will not move from San Ramon to Houston
If they try to force us to move to Houston, I will find another job. Working for Chevron is pretty good, but it’s not worth moving to Houston to keep my job!

Heads if you are planning to retire
Health benefits are brutal. Obama’s health care plan was a complete lie that you would not pay more than $2500 a year. This year open enrollment for Kaiser CA is $1200 a month for two. Anthem Blue Cross is a $1000. Better to stay healthy and put the... — read more

Can we talk???
Beyond words. A CVX talk show? What in the actual _ _ _ _? I can only hope that at some point she’ll offer the Jerry Springer edition of this drivel, because that would at least be entertaining.
How busy are you?
Let's have a discussion about this. Are there really so many people who do double workloads or do most of us do nothing more than the necessary minimum?
Interest hike and more retirements?
The fed is expected to raise the interest rates tomorrow, will thay cause more attrition and early retirement or those who wanted to leave have already left the ship?
Alaska kaput
Another fire sale - news says all Unocal properties in Alaska are on the chopping block.
How did the manager react when you quit?
I really don't know what kind of employee is "good enough" for Chevron, since even stellar employees are constantly criticized here. No matter how productive you are, you will be required to be even more productive. And then the management is... — read more
Stop shaming people for doing their work
Workers aren't "quiet quitting." They're refusing to be exploited for their labor. And they're flexing their muscles for the first time in decades. This is exactly what's been happening and it has been a joy to watch for this old-timer right here... — read more
Are you satisfied with the current benefits Chevron offers?
I'm asking specifically about benefits, not your salary.
Chevron Is Using Captain Planet and Batman Returns to Deflect Blame for Its Climate Denial
At first I thought this was a joke. It's not. Some of the pop culture references contained in the brief are... pretty wild. There’s a cultural reference here for everyone. Did you like reading Calvin and Hobbes? There was a 1987 strip about... — read more
Chevron Permian Pay
XTO aka ExxonMobil Permian employee in Midland here. Curious what Chevron employees are making. I suspect Chevron is paying more. Most engineers mid to lte career at XTO make $250 to $300k. No bonus. 10% premium which could disappear at any time. We... — read more
Merger with Exxon
Hearing that we will merge with exxon soon, the discussions have been restarted from what I hear. If this happens who will stay and who will go? I know exxon is h3llbent in their ways and will not want to close their woodlands campus
Layoff rumors?
With our past experience of our upper management seemingly being obsessed with having layoffs every few years we have to think they are cooking something up. They have no regard for the average employee, so even though they have already put us... — read more
MW’s take on inflation ages worse and worse
Every time I read an inflation report, I’m recalling MW’s comment at the early year town hall that “inflation isn’t that bad historically.” God that take ages worse and worse by the day, and was nonsense in the moment. Interesting to see how they... — read more

Gigs
Can we stop with the gig marketplace.. nobody want to sign up for a gig to give you free work.. if you need a project completed, staff and fund it correctly or assign it as someone’s ongoing duties.
We aren’t even paid enough
Have you noticed that outside of the head of BUs, the vast majority of Chevron staff can’t even live in the best parts of Houston? River Oaks, Memorial Villages (Hunters Creek/Piney Point) and some parts of West University are not affordable. The... — read more

If you're 'quiet quitting,' you should just quit altogether
If you have no personal pride or any work ethic, you should know that you're being a burden to your coworkers. Somebody has to pick up your slack and you shouldn't be okay with letting your coworkers do that. If you're that unhappy here that you're... — read more

I’m retired. Lately I’ve had emails from “ENGAGE” a new health app, apparently supported by CVX.
Is this something that Chevron is promoting for employees and retirees to manage overall healthcare or is this something that “ENGAGE” is trying to promote and lure you in by using the Chevron angle. I’ve no idea whether CVX is actively promoting... — read more
Time in Grade Doesn’t Matter?
I always hear that time in grade doesn’t matter for a promotion….meaning that just because you’ve been in the same pay grade for a long time doesn’t mean you get a promotion. However, I was told today that despite the fact I’m qualified for the next... — read more

Feeling demotivated
I used to love working here and often put my work before my personal life. Not anymore. Considering the amount of work I do, a little raise would be an insult. Seems the only way to get an adequate raise is to leave this place?
