No-win situation?
Wonder how or if recent events in the US (BLM and such) will impact Selections. Talk about a no-win situation for the selection team members! If a large portion of minorities is selected, reverse discrimination claims and if a large portion of... — read more
Black lives matter!!
Why is Chevron’s executive stance so weak? Are they scared some of those racist employees will EOI?
Company provided Life Insurance
Keep or Not to Keep & cost to keep?
ITC Accelerated EOI %
Why is the ITC accelerated EOI percentage a “secret”? In his townhall, JG said it was 5% for all of TPS, but during BB’s ITC townhall this morning, the ITC HR rep would not share what percentage of ITC people chose EOI.
Key to securing a long career with Chevron
You should ask yourself, with every decision you make, is this good for the company? Am I helping with the company's strategic vision?
When is the first selection event done in June?
For those high psgs?
Why should anyone work for TPS?
What is the point of working in TPS as an SME? The business units think you’re useless and the management cuts you first and most. If I survive this, I’m going to try to move to a BU. Lower rate of cuts and more perceived value to the company.
ABU Redundancies
Any news on when and how many ABU redundancies will be?
Why are all the TPS discussions being removed?
Why are all of the comments about TPS layoffs and leadership being removed? Are TPS employees lurking on here? Can’t the “leadership” take any honest criticism?
Rename Worplace to TheChristieBrownbook
I swear does this lady ever work? Take a look at the FE Function page and almost every post is hers. She must get paid per post. Geez lady take a break from work social media and actually contribute to getting an oil out of the ground.
Can we at least get rid of the right people for once?
If we're going to have major layoffs, can the higher-ups for once get rid of the right people? The ones who barely do anything day in, day out and yet somehow always manage to avoid being laid off? We could actually use some trimming of the fat... — read more
If voluntary layoff or early retirement was offered, how many would accept?
I personally would without thinking.
Why can’t the sr leaders take a pay cut as other company leaders are doing?
It irritates me when the senior leaders at Chevron talk about how difficult it is for them to reduce headcount and deliver the hard messages and yet we all know that they will be keeping their own jobs. Enhanced severance is nice and all but why... — read more
How do they do it?
How is the layoff conducted? 1 on 1 with th emanager? With HR? Is it scripted? Can you talk, discuss? Phone call vs in-person?
Moved on...
I was let go a while back... Luckily, after all my years of service and socking away a huge nest egg, I don't need to work for anymore. At some point, I will still search for a job, but definitely not in the O&G sector. I'll take my time and find... — read more

Does anyone know when layoffs are expected. There was some talk in the news recently.
SJV 2020 transformation fail and LT failures
How about the LT being accountable for the screw ups and be left standing. All the preaching they do like they make right decisions and the changes need to happen below them. That’s right I am calling out Al Williams for his bad resume that includes... — read more
Best guess for return to work at 100% in your location?
Try to follow it with your location like this to be inclusive: Aug 1st - Houston
How Can I Survive This?
Yesterday JG of TPS stated that only the most qualified people will be selected for jobs. I have 11 years with the company. How can I compete with someone at my same grade level that has 20 to 35 years experience? I see no way for me to survive... — read more
COBRA -
Pros and cons for taking COBRA first and then Chevron retiree health plan when you are 100% qualified for the retiree plan. Any impact to having Medicare part a and b when you are on COBRA.
Future Leaders, TPS and Job Selections
The townhall yesterday for TPS was a little overly positive with so many people about to get cut. I would tone it down a bit. It was bothersome that it was stated that we will have a lot of jobs for people development (future leader jobs). In my... — read more
What is happening to posts on here?
Why the deletion of posts lay-off.com? Your site isn’t that great. Posts not offensive. What is the deal? Cant handle conversation? Time for our IT people to get to work. They will do a better job than you. Can make a few bucks off of adverts.
How many people post and respond on here regularly?
How many people post and respond on here regularly? Respond with a 1 if you do. There are a lot of views but we don’t know if it is the same ten people writing each other. I’m trying to gauge participation.
O&M
What are the rumors on O&M layoffs?
And just like that, the Chevron Hunger Games have commenced
All jobs are open and fair game. I wonder if Chevron’s worried about taking a hit to the company culture. One Team?
% to be higher at more senior levels
Any insight what MW meant with that?
XOM “We have no plans for Lay-offs!”
I find it interesting XOM is Not laying off but CVX is letting go up to 20% of world wide staff ... what is our mgmt not telling us, or what does XOM know our mgmt dont?
Love how LT try and soften the blow but miss the mark
"support each other" "we are in this together" "tips to deal with uncertainty" "unprecedented times" Thanks for changing my outlook by 0%. I'd much rather they stfu on that front, update on how they are progressing to their scheduled outcome... — read more
Job Cuts
Chevron announced today that hit will reduce staff by 10-15%, around 5000-7000 employees. Reductions in staff will commence in June.
Selections
I heard that they will do selections differently this time. People will know who is on the selections team and see what they look like. Why does what the selection team member looks like matter? There will also be someone in the room to “help... — read more
Lots of Shocking EOI News
My boss just told me that a bunch of the HES function leadership took the EOI. Can someone confirm? Did I miss something over the last week? Don't blast me. I am just checking to see if the rumor is true.
What happened to ES strategic research?
Did anybody notice that earth science strategic research seems to be missing from the CTC org chart? Are they eliminating research? Does anybody know what’s happening?
I'm hearing rumors of a mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations as a condition of employment
I'm hearing rumors of a mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations as a condition of employment. I'm having trouble believing this would even be considered given the company's view on safety and a fast-tracked vaccine with minimal testing. I'm not an... — read more
