Hearing vague rumors about CEMREC. Any one able to provide actual details?

I’ve read an article about VW going 80% electric by 2030. Does it have to be a considered as a concern for young professionals/college grads who accept offers? (especially from refining/downstream)

Go read the Ford layoff board. Mass surprise layoffs all day long today. Boss pings you on Teams and you’re out the door for good 15 minutes later.

Heard some rumors about folding CEMREC and incorporating their work into other BUs. Any truth to that?

Can anyone believe the Chronicle article that characterized the transition of the oil finder to the energy transition leader. Nothing could be further from fact. How did our image creators get so far from reality. Does it make you worry about our... — read more

I know in the past it was allowed (by special arrangement with mgmt and HR) to take up to six months off as a sort of mental health leave. Is this still possible? Has anyone done it lately? Was it paid or unpaid? Thanks!

Anyone feel transformed yet?

Is “lower looping” a Chevron term? I’ve heard plenty of managers say that word and act like it’s something we shouldn’t never think about doing. It’s a stupid set of words. I like to sit around and complain, why do you think I’m on this board? ... — read more

HR is yet again revamping benefits. They are looking at some California models which allow unlimited paid vacation as long as you deliver your work on time. Apparently employees like this better and actually use less vacation while feeling more... — read more

Ummm…anyone else notice Chevron’s name in the Celsius Ch 11 filing as a “creditor”? Which means CVX: 1) was buying crypto and 2) investing it in what was clearly a Ponzi scheme. Feels a little Enron-like? I’d love to hear this explained. If you’re... — read more
