All these posts the last few months really confused me. I left Jones in 2023 after being there about 5 years. Easy job but no real money, went to FinTech and TC is three times my Jones pay. Jones is a glorified pyramid, everyone in the finance industry knows that. That's why they only get people from Citi, the worst bank in the country, they just come to get a piece of the pie off the back of the FA's before it's too late. Calling it a "partnership" when nearly all of the profits goes to the GP's, OK partner. You do the grunt work, they make all the money. If you've been there years you already know that so why be so surprised now? You thought being at the bottom of a pyramid made you matter? You thought eventually you will be at the top too? If you don't get hired from the outside you will never be promoted unless you are a white woman, they get a little DEI without getting too dark around there. Don't be mad at people at the top, they were not hired to be good, that's what YOU are for. You work, they take trips..
THE BOTTOM EXISTS TO FEED THE TOP. If you aren't smart enough to leave just make your pennies before the place implodes when someone really investigates it

No more DEI type managers. Got them nowhere. Unfortunately it looks like they are positioning a token.

Terrible…
Less benefits…
Less PTOs…
Sweat shoppish management …
Job cuts…
No diversity and that means not a single American in any layer above me or even around me…

Ohh wait that was the similar in ELV IT too.

IT had layers and layers are Indians. Several of them totally not competent by far. Speak English in a weird way with disregard and disrespect to grammar, pronunciation and several times etiquettes. And worst they keep hiring Indians ONLY. How? They bring cheap -ss Indians as contractors and then convert them. Companies like UST are partners in that crime.

They don’t even want to engage with white Americans nor do they want you around. They keep talking to each other in their mambo jambo local language and keep warming smelly food in the kitchen.

yeah damn it, this happening in USA.. not in Bangaladore.

The tech team’s culture is a masterclass in exploiting the need for networking in the field while treating actual engineering like a thankless chore. Most “management” here are too busy kissing up to non-engineers and flaunting their “connections” like they’re auditioning for a C-suite reality show or getting a millionaire customer on the books. The company leans hard into the field’s obsession with who-knows-who, we-ponizing it to reward political players at HO over producers. Meanwhile, engineers who grind out solid code and keep the systems humming? We’re just background noise, expected to bow to the schmooze gods. Skip a “networking” DEI event to debug a critical issue? You’re “not strategic.” It’s a ridiculous game where pleasing non-techies and chasing clout trumps building anything real. Time to value the code that drives the business, not the connections! 😅

For full disclosure, I am a white male that got let go earlier this year after 20 years with the company and yes, chatgpt helped rewrite my rant in the following professional manner.

Chevron’s Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) organization was once the benchmark of operational excellence, a “Platinum” model respected across the energy sector. Backed by deep technical expertise and field-driven leadership, it played a critical role in upholding Chevron’s reputation for safety and discipline.

Today, that reputation is that Chevron is plain and simple, get the job done with the cheapest way possible. HSE is an afterthought.

Insiders and industry observers say the HSE function has lost its edge, evolving into a bureaucratic arm focused more on compliance optics than real safety outcomes much of what was seen in 2019 and repeated over and over again including this year. Chevron HSE Moto was White Males not wanted. Look at today's HSE demographics. Experienced white male professionals have been replaced or sidelined in favor of internal favorites and corporate climbers, with leadership roles increasingly filled by those lacking field or technical experience.

Chevron’s recent cultural pivot, including a strong emphasis on DEI initiatives, has sparked a rash of incidents. When qualifications and expertise take a back seat, especially in high-stakes functions like HSE, the results can be damaging.

The shift is already visible: incident reviews are increasingly sanitized, technical audits feel performative, and institutional knowledge is quietly being kicked out the DEI no white males allowed door. These are all my opinions rewritten by ChatGPT.

The layoffs are a’comin! While they be right before Christmas this year? Will they admit their DEI initiatives have failed? Will they keep the unproductive drones?

I've seen so many posts on here that seem to rally against the DE&I efforts at the firm. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion should be a good thing! The issue which I think is often misconstrued on here (and yes there are quite a few bigots on this platform as well) is that there are so many people at the firm that appear to be FAKE when it comes to DE&I.

I have the numbers on a spreadsheet, but not the names.

I can only hope that the DEI folks who celebrated 'sacrificing everything' to 'believe in something' dominate that list of 3.7%.

Good riddance.

People outside of tech just do not get it.

It's a tsunami of Indian workers now, more then 50% of the Americans are gone.

Since H-1B is 34 years old, many who got here that way are now doing the hiring in these companies and hire Indians.

What's saddest to me is you lunatics out there who think merely mentioning the world 'Indian' makes this racist. Uh, no.

They massively abuse the system and are way overrepresented in visas - when we supposedly have country limits. They have violated the intent of our immigration system so thoroughly.

Even if we don't cut the numbers, we have to send 75% of the Indians in tech home. Even the green card holders.

Otherwise you will have an Indian run and staffed IT sector. If you are okay with that, you're insane.

Patterns look strange. It almost feels like the “biggest risks” for employees are:
• Being a woman
• Turning 40+
• Taking maternity leave
• Dealing with serious illness

If that’s what our “business-driven decisions” end up looking like…

is this really a board-approved standard, or just how it played out this time?

Every day I walk into my new Lenox location I can barely contain the smile that is chiseled on my face from smiting that nothing loser Legg. He really thought his virtue signaling, progressive plan was a slam dunk to get rid of me and my kind. Wrong again pompous a-s! Like the rest of the C-Suite millionaire misfits, you failed to remove me from the ranks with the musical chairs and hoop jumping hunger games.
You took your shot and now it’s our turn to make a monkey’s a-s out of you. Please share with us if you had to provide updates with Stink and tell him the bad news about how much it would cost for building out the offices in Atlanta. I bet that didn’t go so well did it? You may have assumed more of us would fold but now we’re sticking it to your worthless power point slides. Best of all, gone is the dream of adding “DEI Warrior” as accomplishments now that Trump is in office. The shiny gold DEI star must now be removed with the attempt to scrub your RTO follies from the internet to hide the dirty agenda. Not on our watch monkey.
