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?
So…
All the product managers are jumping ship and we’re just promoting whoever. Like, hey you, yeah you, tag, you’re it
Why does everyone care so much about CEO's pay?
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.
Expecting that I will have to work even more
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
Being loyal means nothing at Chevron
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

D&C attrition
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?
Any layoff rumors?
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?
Old timers and the Fed
Know of any pulling the plug soon before they start working for free?
I'm thinking of leaving O&G
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

Sell CVX at $162/share ?
Some of us former employees are holding company shares or options with a nice built-in gain. Thoughts on whether this $162/share price is sustainable or do me sell while share price is inflated due to Ukraine/Russia conflict ?
Peace out richmond
Richmond is among the worst sites to work at within Chevron. Layers and layers of management devoted to maintaining “how we’ve always done it.” Absolutely zero innovation and a lousy culture of people brushing you off when you bring up a new idea... — read more
Lower management has far more power than skill
Not that I think something like that is ever going to happen, but it would be interesting to compare the amount of skills the management has for doing their job with the amount of power they have within a certain organization. I bet we would be faced... — read more
Sharing knowledge
I'm a little disappointed because I expected to learn a lot from my senior colleagues at Chevron. Unfortunately it didn't work out like that. What kind of experts are afraid to share knowledge with those younger than themselves? What are they... — read more

Pre employment medical
Question I know it screens for illegal dr-gs, but do you have to declare prescription medication like blood pressure or migraine medicine?
Why do you want to be laid off?
in several threads folks are saying they can't wait to be laid off. Why? Are you just joking, trolling or do you really have an issue with Chevron? I'm curious to hear what it is if it's the latter. It can't be the pay, since it's among the best in... — read more

News says the greatly anticipated "can't fail" Tres Marias prospect in Brazil was drilled and had shows but nothing more. What a fiasco.
At what age does Chevron start nudging you to retire?
I’m in my mid 40’s, so still got a ways to go. From those that have experienced it, what age do they start asking you when you’re going? Is it 55 or so?
Three more years to retirement
I know older employees are often targeted for layoffs but is that also the case for those who are close to retirement?

Chevron Offering Chevron Kindness

Information Technology
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), how would you rate Chevron’s IT department?
In simple terms, what's the difference in the pension for those hired prior to 2008 vs those hired after 2008?
I always hear people say, "I'm grateful I was hired before 2008 when they made changes to the pension." What does that mean?
Less respect from year to year
After more than 20 years in this company, I feel less respected than ever. I used to want to gain as much experience as possible but today that same experience is just a burden. It's not that age discrimination hasn't been present before, but I... — read more

Anadarko walk away look back
Was that a good decision? I think it was terrible that Chevron walked away. Sure it might have looked good back then, but with current oil prices, we could have had much more diverse portfolio, another LNG in Africa and much more oil production... — read more

Gender Bias in new pay system
Long story short... I am the only woman on the team. My raise (with two EE's) was under the 3%. My manager straight up admitted that that there is a pool and he had to distribute the funds to other high performers. Knowing what we know about the new... — read more
Major cuts in 2023
Many say that this tempo of layoffs is nothing compared to what might come in 2023. Some even claim that big restructure could be on the way at that time. I get that it has never been a moment of peace at this company, but why I don’t get it is how... — read more
