but the very attributes that make it stable ( access to large low cost resources in Permian and Tengiz) make it less attractive for employees. The company does not need a large pool of high cost technical employees going forward. It is going... — read more 

Is there a non-compete clause in the severance?

I took early EOI and my last day on the payroll was 7/10. I haven't received my Cobra paperwork yet. I believe they have 44 days to send it. Any others out there in the same boat?

I've read a number of CVX posts that are insensitive and offensive. I hope these 'contributors' are not my colleagues, whether I'm at Chevron or some place else. If you have any potentially useful information, share it. If you move on to something... — read more 

A little over two months left to the main portion of this maddening event. I wish you all luck, mental and physical health.

My fellow Chevronoids, just grow a pair and get out while you still have time. I didn't even wait for the EOI. Just took a job at Spacex propulsion division in LA. Mechanical engineer here. Great salary, tons of stocks and relocation paid for. ... — read more

How many has this been since 2013? Seems like they just cannot figure out the "right size" organization you hear them say every time they have a layoff.

Appreciate any input on the difference in our tax implications for severance payout in 2020 versus 2021. Why CVX push for severance payout in 2020 instead of 2021?

Or will we be like Google and be remote until at least summer 2021?

What kind of screwed up process is going on here. The reorganizations that I have seen in other companies just happen in one week and are not dragged out for weeks like it is here. It seems like a very stressful situation for all of you. Good... — read more 

Rumor is that it’s brutal? ~180 roles for ~250 people? Close to 600 people can apply globally if you count 24s? How bad will R4 be?

So glade we are saving some contractor while we lay-off employees who have sacrificed so much to be loyal to this company.

It really seems like Chevron and other oil & gas companies are far more concerned with pleasing their shareholders and protecting their dividends than they are about protecting their employees. Here is an interesting article I found on the subject:... — read more 

Hello been working at CVX for about a year. I am a 23 yo engineer grad 2019. I paid off all my debt from school last year. I make 99k a year. Apart from saving my money how can I retire early. Any tips help. Thanks

Since only people in scope for Round 3 have access to details, can anyone share what they have learned from the jobs that were released this morning? I’m in Round 4 and I’m curious what the PSG ranges are for Managers vs Team Leads, what kind of... — read more 

Their costs seem to range from ,4 to .9 % of assets managed. That can add up to big yearly amounts. Do you think the cost is worth it?

Was it shared at what time the positions will be available in the tool?

So if we are playing these games every few years, why should I collaborate with my teammates? I want to always manipulate and take all the credit and undermine my peers. That will place me better next time around.

Why would one not elect to take subsidized COBRA for 12 months if EOI is accepted before enrolling in the retirement medical at the end of the 12 month COBRA coverage? Isn’t it much less expensive?

It will likely show the layers of growth of non-essential activities (fluff) that have creeped in over the years. These new organizations with new high level psg’s will just be shrunk in the layoff but will not go away. Do you know of any?

It’s a company that needs to focus on shareholder value, I get it, no problem. Why all this long “open” transition spanning over a year, during a pandemic for Christ’s sake. No discussions of what the future should be or open engagement except... — read more 

Just found out that our business unit will endure about 12% layoffs. I suppose, if you're like me and want the EOI option, it's not so bad. But our BU, one of the top, if not the most profitable & highest production in the country, taking a 12% cut... — read more

Reading between the lines, why am I getting the impression that all the “job owners” in the new tech center’s round 3 positions are the secretly selected new Chapter leads? I guess all will be clear Monday.

Does Chevron pay unused sick leave if you are laid off?

Throwing out org charts without psg ranges is chicken sh*t. If your job still exists, you don’t know if you qualify for it. This is an effort of not being transparent to keep people working even if they don’t have a shot. Thoughts?

in this layoffs are they targeting 55 plus workers?

So it looks like I am at a 40% chance of getting laid off. Wish I had a 99.6% change of not being laid off. Wonder why we worry about some thing and not other.

I am in round 3 and will take EOI. The notification will occur the week of September 7. My question: is it possible to postpone the severance package to 2021 for tax purposes?
