I have worked in several companies in the industry. Chevron has some of its own specific issues, but I don't think you can work less and get more pay at any other O&G company. Moreover, lazy people here don’t even have to pretend to work hard. One... — read more
If the pay doesn’t keep up with the inflation people will leave.
Let’s be realistic. Most of the people working at Chevron have other options in terms of finding another job. If they refuse to pump up the pay so it is aligned to the inflation and the rise of living cost people will leave for greener pastures. .. — read more

Once the crash happens...
It will be bad. I hope we won't see the oil prices crashing for a long time?
What day of the week is your team meeting?
We meet Tuesday because Mon is too traumatic. Thur is popular also. I was in a management team for a couple years that met Fridays!
Return to office
How has return to office been for you all? So far been a waste of time the past several weeks. Just sitting at a flex desk doing teams meetings with still no face to face collaboration. It all can be done from home so we can have better work life... — read more
CVX Employees in Russia?
Hopefully CVX is sending any expats at Chevron Neftegaz home. Reports that other US company staff are being threatened in Russia is quite concerning.
New employee
I have a fidelity auto managed portfolio which doesn’t allow me to buy chevron stock. Is there another way I can register in a stock purchase plan so that way it pulls from my paycheck? Any help would be cool
CVX @ $200
So we can assume that CVX will rise to abnormal levels during this crisis, and then crash back to something more sustainable. The question for many is what will be the peak “sell” point. My bet is it will hit $200 in the next 4 months and then back... — read more
MW and inflation
Boy those “inflation isn’t a record level, so don’t factor that into your raise” comments haven’t aged well…
Dr-g Testing at the Houston Office
So I’ve been working for Chevron on a contract basis, but I think I am going to get put on the team as a full time member. Does anyone know if I’ll have to take a ur--e test or Hair follicle test? I ate an edible a few weeks ago and didn’t think this... — read more

Crude Oil Over $120/BBL
You would think higher oil prices are great for the oil industry and they are. Just look at the stock prices. The real winner, however, will be green energy. When people start paying an arm and a leg to fill up their gas tanks, they are going to... — read more
Is it closed?
Does anyone know whats going on off campus? The doors were locked and I couldn't get in. Its usually open today!
How often do you work a full day and do absolutely nothing?
I’m not talking about the days when you sit in meetings all day, or when you try but get nowhere. I’m wondering how often you have a day where you are at work, but you don’t even lift a finger to try to do any work. I get about 2 of those days per... — read more
How is your group doing RTO
My group about 20% came last two weeks
Leadership: Visible at Shell
The CEO at Shell, Ben van Beurden, posted on LinkedIn how (and why) Shell is breaking business alliances with Russia, and how they're willing to lose (big) money doing so. Here's the Shell link: https://lnkd.in/dZpC3A4V. I had to wonder if our... — read more

ABU Reorg

Angola LNG
Must be making tons of money now. Tells you how short sighted MW is. The upstream industry is like this, losses year after year but then it suddenly rains and then it pours cash!
CVX stock
Stock is on a tear. How high will it go before taking the inevitable fall?
Are we going to follow the example set by BP and Shell?
Or am I going to have to start hiding where I work? I'm ashamed of this company right now.
PSG and CO
Is mid point (100% CO) for PSG 23 174k? Just trying to see if I should work towards a promotion or a job outside of CVX.
I'm not sure
Is Chevron now preferring attrition or is our management not indifferent to the fact that the best are leaving the company?
BP Collapse
BP has been terrible for a long time. They just lost half their reserves and a third of their production. Someone will buy them soon. Probably Shell.
SJVBU reorg
SJV still going through MFO. They released first phase results which indicates deep cut in projects, production, maintenance. Any news or expectation on the new org coming soon?
How does this industry plan to recruit from colleges going forward?
I don’t get it when I see college students studying petroleum engineering, geology or land. Why would anyone want to go into an industry that won’t have domestic positions in the next decade. The narrative is against the industry and I doubt they... — read more
Toxic company and toxic people
Stay away if you can.
Biodiesel
Chevron is finalizing purchase of a biodiesel maker. Pretty exciting stuff.1
Exit interview
I intend to leave very soon and I would most rather avoid the exit interview..... After all the stress I've experienced here for a long time, I don't think I need that extra stress where I'm going to have to be careful what I say and how. However... — read more
