I don’t know about your area, but from what I could see Round 2 was a bust. The same old faces, including mostly mentally unstable old white guys along with a smattering of truly whacked white women. All the losers people expected to retire lost... — read more 

Anyone ever been? What is the culture like? Safe?

Does anyone know how serious this is? "When maintenance workers recently unpacked the replacement kettles and performed non-destructive testing, they found thousands of cracks in the steel shells, according to sources on the site." "Boiling Cold... — read more 

Interesting round 2 results and some of the names that didn't appear on any of the lists, especially IT.

and what were the reasons?

Who thought a major acquisition in the middle of a pandemic with no end in sight (and guaranteed long term consequences on our industry once it does end) is a great idea? Was it really necessary to do this right now? Can somebody tell me any... — read more 

Let’s hear the good, bad, and the ugly!

Some of the sadder sights back in the days we worked in offices was seeing people with collections of toy gas station cars in their offices. I don’t mean the fabulous Texaco scale tanker trucks, I mean those id–tic Chevron toys with the freaky faces... — read more 

Anyone hear about round 3 results? Was it the same chaos as round 2?

/noble-energy or thelayoff.com/noble-energy it's lively over there

Not directly layoff related but only to make the point how CVX is not great at being digital...question is why is skype still up and working like normal after making such a big deal of it going away?

Since the "Transformation" is going so well, might as well through a wrench into things by making an acquisition at the same time.

more and more posts here every day of people complaining about things that are no different than in any other company. yes, we have layoffs. imagine that, a company laying off people in the middle of a crisis to save money. it's unheard of... — read more 

It seems that Chevron is taking months and months to put together a layoff plan and then months and months more to follow through. At least everyone is getting a few extra pay checks.

I resigned voluntarily last to join another company without retiring or giving EOI, but I worked past April of this year. Anyone know the official say in this?

Curious if anyone has received their benefit yet (Severance) and how long process took to get cash? All I have is "one week after final date you get email, you respond, we hold for 7 days, then payment made when prudent"...Thanks.

With renewables and electric car growth will chevron still be around in 3 decades? If not then EOI looks more attractive. What do you think?

Did anybody, ever have a positive experience with our HR? A situation in which they came out of thinking, "well, that was great and really helpful?" Because I'm honestly starting to think that HR is the most useless department in this company and... — read more 

Anyone knows any of the outcomes of the psg 28-30 round? Everybody’s taking their same spots or were things shaken?

So has anyone else figured this feedback rich culture out yet? You have to ask all the people you work with for feedback then the TL use that for your feedback. Do we get to give feedback to the TL. No “well unless it’s good feedback” and if you... — read more 

Another Sponsor video on how to keep up the charade that is the selection process. They do not even look at CDPs during ROMs, folks.

Must be Chevron’s time soon! BP’s announced so has Shell - must be time. https://www.forbes.com/sites/timtreadgold/2020/07/14/woodside-petroleum-joins-the-write-down-club-with-a-4-billion-charge/#16269ac13ed7

I'm always hoping we get some actual information. But then it's instant regret when I hear the line "we are making good progress on shaping curves" and followed by the CIO saying 100 words per minute about nothing.

I'm hearing about a new effort called Triple Crown that ETC is pushing, and it sounds like a mess. Will anything good come of this?

All of these issues come into play in the layoff process.

My boss reschedules my 1 on 1 ‘s regularly, has very minimal feedback for me, and never asks in depth questions about what I’m doing. Goes purely based off what is on my workday goals and what a few people tell him. Every time I reach out it feels... — read more 

I don’t know about you, but it feels like workplace morale is gone. Bosses and leadership try to be positive but we all see right through it. I’m ready for EOI now, don’t drag it out, let’s just get on with it.

Word on the street is that Round 2 is a mess. They started at PSG 30 but leaders couldn’t agree on who got the job and who got whacked. They finally compromise by giving some of them PSG 29 jobs. This made things worse at that grade, so a bunch of... — read more 

For PSG25, can EOI payout be delayed to 2021 tax year? What are my options to delay the payout?

I am strongly considering EOI. Am I required to post for jobs if I EOI? Assuming I don’t have to post but the company does not accept my EOI, then am I at risk of being placed in a job that I did not want nor post?

I know there has been a lot of backlash about the Future Leaders program on this site... But curious if people who have been earmarked for this program are told directly? And if so, do they tell you how much potential you have (team lead vs... — read more 

Is there a time requirement between getting severance from CVX and starting a new job?

Sounds like we are reducing by 35%, with a good chunk of those being EOI’s. Best of luck to everyone.

when will lay-offs start in ABU? Any updates?

Any insight is appreciated!

Did anyone else watch the June 30th update on the technical center transformation? What a disaster. Chapter leads? A bunch of technical folk running around working on whatever without any prioritization? They honestly want CVX To be structured like a... — read more
