I've never been laid off in my 20+ year long career (granted, I've been here for 15 of those years) but a lot of people I talk to say they've been laid off from some of their previous jobs. Some have even been laid off more than once. It never... — read more 

Despite higher than expected revenue from the surge in prices ($140/bbl), earnings were well short of expectations once again. Spending is up 50%. Permian production bumped up almost as promised, but the rest of the world down due to lost... — read more

Many are disappointed. Do you also think that this dividend is not enough?

The grass is certainly greener at some similar companies, that’s not a secret. What I would like to know is what are the reasons that you are staying at the company? I mean, in the conversation with my coworkers I can heart that most of them are... — read more 

I am lucky that Chevron has given me a second chance. My first experience with Chevron was great and this experience is something else. I worked in Midland from 2012 to 2013 and then had to resign to take care of family issues. I got hired back 6... — read more 

How frequently should we expect a psg bump? Does it differ across orgs? I’ve been in the same psg for years and am not sure if this is normal for non hipo employees?

I thought I would adapt to company culture much faster than it turned out. I was surprised at how “protected” some colleagues here are by the managers. I couldn't even imagine that I would want to leave Chevron so soon because I thought that this... — read more 

Very few of the new hires are staying here longer than a year. It's a real problem for my team. Just when people finally start doing their jobs properly without the need for constant input and help they are out the door. Then we have to start from... — read more 

Thoughts?

So it seems SG (Upstream N.A.) is retiring this year (or early next year) noting years cap……who goes behind him? And, JJ (Upstream Czar) is almost certainly retiring next year given he is about a year older than MW and there is a need to stagger... — read more 

Hearing that some companies are giving employees extra time off, some calling it a mental health week? Will CHEVRON consider offering this? People are burned out.

Hey, any thoughts on chances of "health holiday again?"

It seems that people over a certain age are being pushed out, one way or another.

For those interested, the IRS published the March interest rates used for pension calculation. For those that are thinking of retiring within a year or two and are considering to take the lump sum distribution, you’d be wise to pay attention to... — read more 

This applies to HR, HSE, Security and Property. It looks as if more outsourcing options are being reviewed for these organizations. With each of these functions significantly over budget (major red flag is HSE), the cost saving of outsourcing is... — read more 

I've found working at different oil companies that things seem disorganized, understaffed and a lot of politics go on. Is this common in the oil industry and those who have worked out of the industry is the grass greener on the other side?

How much longer does the SR office have? I hope the last one out remembers to turn off the lights.

Chevron is currently one of the best employers in O&G, that's simply a fact. I can't understand where are all the people who are leaving (and there are certainly a lot of them) going? What are the places that offer better pay, benefits, and work... — read more 

How is Recruiting nowadays? is it hard to find candidates?

In the open offices, anyone hear of Covid spreading amongst the workers? Are people coming to work sick?

Is there any explanation for why they think so? Most jobs can be done perfectly well from home, so why will working remotely never become the norm?

I know my direct manager has no impact on these decisions and just enforces the orders that come from above. In what tier of management is this decision made and what criteria do they use? It can’t bee as simple as we think that whoever has a bigger... — read more 

Is it possible to get an out of cycle raise or move 2 psg's in a year? I am badly underpaid and receiving offers other places for 30-40k more. Don't really want to leave but feel like I will never get where I need to be at 1 PSG per year. Help!

How is SJVBU doing now a days? Is the business unit stable or at risk of reduction?

Anyone else see MW in Ukrainian garb showing his support? I'm for one thankful he runs this jo--t.

Two years ago a large number of Sr petro-techs with 25 plus years experience took the package, essentially completing the “great crew change” caused by the baby boomer demographic bulge and the lack of new hires during the 1980-1990 oil price... — read more 

I really am interested what is the beer and food of choice for those out in the field? When a layoff is coming what beer do you turn to?

I know MWs diversity videos are all the rage now days but I really enjoyed that amazing drone video before the town hall where he really took a lot of tough questions. How cool was it to see him from many feet up in the area. Cutting edge technology... — read more 

Any thoughts on whether the hybrid work model is here to stay or are they just “transitioning” us back into a five day in office again?

All the product managers are jumping ship and we’re just promoting whoever. Like, hey you, yeah you, tag, you’re it

I really don’t care how much the CEO is paid, as long as I’m happy with how much I get paid for the work I do and the effort I put in.

I don’t know if Chevron has ever had so much trouble filling positions after employees left. It wouldn’t surprise me if no one wanted to apply for those positions. Another possibility is that Chevron is waiting to see if we can cover all that work... — read more 

All these self-righteous employees who come here to attack anybody who dares say something against Chevron need to realize that they're nothing but a number to those on top. They don't care about your loyalty. You will be cut if they deem you to be a... — read more

I got laid off from CVX D&C in 2020. Recently a buddy of mine got contacted for a contract position at CVX D&C. This tells me attrition is picking up. Can someone confirm is this the case? Shall we see any permanent positions posted soon?

We all know MW loves and dreams about a good layoff. He's got to be starting to get antsy for another one. Any rumors or talks of more layoffs or cost cutting or is the attrition good enough in that area?

Know of any pulling the plug soon before they start working for free?

I’ve been at Chevron for a little over a decade. After oil surged above $100, I changed my mind from transitioning to renewable energy jobs and decided to stay here for a while longer. Is there anyone else who's decided to wait a little longer with... — read more
