If you don't relocate, are you still eligible for retiree medical? They are coding it as Voluntary Resignation. Does it matter what HR codes it in Workday? I'm on my wife's plan currently, but we would like to use Chevron's medical when she... — read more
WFH Mondays are back in 2027
I heard it from the Big Man himself. There will be announcement late November stating that WFH Mondays are back 1/1/2027. The main motivation is all the feedback in the CES
I was in the last round of Chevron layoffs
And I couldn't be more grateful. That place is a disaster, and getting out was the push I needed to find something better. Being let go feels like a punishment when it happens, but with time you realize it's a gift. Go find something that doesn't... — read more
So long Angola….well at least parts of you.
I guess those assets in Angola we are selling off aren’t technically being layed off. But, probably a good thing to get out from under Chevron while they can. Who’s next. APAC?
IT Strikes Again
Why do all internal websites now take ages to load?
Exec and other senior leaders… next ones up?
Who replaces MKW? Obvious choice right now is EB Upstream CN? BK, RB? CFO EB -> JG Downstream AW? Subsurface JK? Wells JS? Turnaround, Capital Projects, FE movements probably not from retirements as those guys are pretty young still MN and ES... — read more
HR Townhall
What was that.. 12 mins of content circleje*k with no updates or results and 40 mins of questions that don’t tell us sh1t. Basically confirmed future reductions and refused to even acknowledge the question about what quartile cost we’re in now..
Time to have a conversation
Is it time to have a conversation on who was a worse CHRO? RM or MG? Entire organization is falling apart while looking head on to more layoffs.
Refinery offer Design engineering concern
I’m coming from a different industry and recently received an offer from Chevron for a design engineering position. I’m hesitant to accept the offer, even though the compensation is slightly better than my current company. My biggest concern is... — read more
Can a PIP be survived?
Or is it useless to even try?

What’s Chevron India actually doing? Any big successes? Genuinely curious.
Are the San Ramon offices sub leased?
Looks like the space may be sub leased. Are those of us remaining moving? Where?
5% employee staff moved to PIP
I thought we were “not copying Exxon” This is a direct copy and paste from the Exxon playbook
Is Monday WFH happening?
Keep hearing rumors about working from home on Mondays getting approved. Anyone have any updates?
PIP ??
I have never seen anything official announcing that a PIP process would be enforced on the lowest ranked 5% in the new performance system. Where did this all come from ? … or is it all rumour mill ?

Hey man we just want to let you know ELT how we all feel about you. If you are truly like Ted Lasso then you should open your ears and eyes and actually hear what we are saying and how we feel about the company right now. You all are the most hated... — read more
Ted Lasso?
Anyone else see the instagram post where MW claims to be inspired by Lasso? Cause that tracks.
New Ideas
Does our "leadership" have any other ideas other than obsessive cost cutting? What is with MKW's addiction to laying people off non stop? No one should enjoy doing it so much. How did he get in the position as he's as toxic as you get.
Wells TH
It was confirmed that instead of "lumpy" layoffs every 4-5 years that they plan to reduce headcount yearly in a "less lumpy" and "more smooth way," whatever the he-l that means. There was a lot of time spent explaining this. Any other areas of the... — read more
So Happy I Don't Work in the Oil Business Anymore
You all actually thought you had a long-term career in the oil industry and with this company. Oh, well.
Let's introduce PIP for the ELT
Who will get 2- and 3?
Best energy company to work for?
Hypothetically if we started posting elsewhere, what would be the top 3 other companies you would want to work for? Asking for a friend.
IT Townhall in India
The company is hiring in offshore locations but not in onshore. Townhalls are in India. PIP is in action with more to come. Why are you training your replacements? How do onshore employees see a future here? I’m not seeing it. Help me understand... — read more
Law Function ROM
So now it’s finally time for the attorneys to get their chance at the hunger games. May the odds ever be in your favor!
I don't recognize this company anymore
When I first joined, there was a real sense that people cared about the work and about each other. That's mostly disappeared now. Years of changes have completely stripped away whatever it was that made the place special, and we're now at the point... — read more

Hows the politicking going on in our most political function?
PIP Severance
What does that look like? Can you volunteer to be on it? Can you get unemployment afterwards?
IT Town Hall
I am getting ready to head up to 1500 in a couple hours for the IT Town hall at Engine watch party. Anyone else coming? 1500 floor 17! I for one am ready to hear what LC has to say!
a Chevron Derangement Syndrome
You Chevron haters are just deadweight. You’re pretending to work while hating our company and contributing to cr-ppy morale. Why don’t you just leave? If you’re so unhappy here… Just leave? We don’t need your Dunning–Kruger effect, grandiosity and... — read more
I'm excited about our future.. lol
Here’s a cleaned-up, more coherent version that keeps your original tone and meaning: Rumors started about 60 days ago of a possible CEO change, a bonus for employees after a record quarter, and Mondays working from home. I’d been hearing... — read more
Purpose of SETH?
What was even the point of SETH today? Another town hall that seemed like a total waste of time.
MW will still be CEO 10 years from now at this rate
We are never getting free of him. That SETH answer was pretty much “I don’t want to retire, the board is happy with me, your happiness doesn’t matter, take your extra money and shut up”
Office attire
Blue suit and black socks….poor choice Mike
EB will be announced as the new ceo today
You heard it here first
Can anyone without connections actually get promoted?
I've had years of promises, and zero results. I'm tired of all the lies and watching incompetent people get ahead.
Any hope of another AEOI opportunity?
Just one more opportunity to AEOI please! - Mike, ELT and HR are you listening? If most of us knew how bad it was going to be we would have put our hands up right away. Some of us need the cushion before making our next move.
SETH
Will MW be man enough to discuss the dysfunction and terrible morale he's caused at Chevron?
Not relocating, will they term you?
If you aren’t relocating, did they term you? I was asked to fill out the form and the only option was voluntary resignation. If they term you would you qualify for unemployment? For the CIP? It’s hard to interpret the plan documents.
LC Worst CIO
LC is absolutely the worst CIO imaginable. A sack of trash would do a better job. Who ever hired him should be fired as they are terrible leaders for getting such a bad leader. We all know its MW and he's terrible himself.
