Did anyone notice they revised the criteria and removed the requirement to have a decline in positive tests? Now it’s in a more vague category. I wonder if this means they’re gonna go forward with stage 3 even with an increase in positive cases... — read more

Anyone know anything about the 6/30 Functional Transformation update? MP mentioned significant changes. Are we more f—ed than we were before?

Most of the jobs are for finance, supply chain, bus.&commercial, IT, etc. i thought we were an oil company managing and developing 3 million boepd?

This is how our execs and managers got to where they are. If not, then their jobs should be re-posted. The company has already been rocketing less qualified persons into high level positions that they are not ready for. Chevron people are smart. Do... — read more

Did HR really send out an email titled “your summer of fun starts here”. You have to give them credit for the pure irony of it all. Looking forward to the leadership team reading “how daddy lost his job the Chevron way”.

I am in finance. I am not part of the MBA program but I do have an MBA. I am treated like a second class citizan in this group because I am not one of the anointed. There are just some jobs that I will never be able to apply just because a manager... — read more 

I want to personally thank you for standing up to Mike Wirth and Mark Nelson for pushing the culture of Chevron to edge of distruction. Creating false slates is wrong. You should only allow people that want to post for a job to post and not force... — read more 

The future leader program is like confederate statues. They are arcane and relics of the past. They are exclusionary symbols. How can we preach inclusion when we have programs that are purposely designed to separate personnel into buckets and... — read more

Who will win this battle? Colin for most qualified gets the job or Mike for women first, qualifications second. Basically, selections based on qualifications or gender. I want to hear your thoughts.

Sounds like that timeline for the very few returning June 15th has been set aside with no mention of when to expect that first trickle back. I’m thinking it won’t be until after Labor Day or 2021 befor the entire workforce returns, depending on the... — read more

Colin, Thank you for speaking the truth of something I have being saying for years. Diversity can not be a selection criteria. If you use diversity as a selection criteria, you are discriminating. I know you are getting some heat from your... — read more 

I think everyone on the call heard the same thing I heard. Selecting someone for diversity is discrimination. It was said loud and clear. I am not sure why Chevron had that article pulled. It should be an open discussion and if discrimination is... — read more 

Execs first brought this topic up in their videos yesterday as it will affect the selection process during the layoffs. Its a layoff topic. Its a healthy transparent discussion. Let the post run its course.

Mike laid out the case for transformational change 2 years ago. He was right then-and now the whole industry/ global economy/social setting has imploded as well. Let's gave an adult conversion. Why do you think the change has been so limited???

What is a fair severance package during layoffs? 1mon/yr? 2-3wk/yr? I have 10 years of service. I am considering leaving industry.

Why do we still have a Management sponsor over age 60 with his little band of favorites dispersed over he world.? Shouldn't we be looking for more creativity and connection with what is needed for real transformation?

despite given many opportunities and recommendations for reading on diversity, they have not had energy to do so
