The "New" Chevron Way
How much time and money is going to be wasted on this BS across the company?
Guidance on PDC success
I was one of the employees left standing after the ROM last year. Was fortunate enough to get a long transition period and have been unsuccessful in the fall PDC (maybe due to the time I had) vs the "must moves". In the off-cycle postings, I've been... — read more
Great message board, Chevron.
Really entertaining seeing what Chevron employees and their work environment is like through this message board. No other E&P major has a board like this one on layoff.com which tells you a big fact, not even close in terms of showing the quality of... — read more

Heard that 13,000 will be reduced by 2019. Anyone else hear this?
Chemical EOR was not economic even when we had $90+ oil price.
I'd be interested to see the achievements of that unit over the past 10 years... they have spent and charged the BUs millions of dollars without a single successful project. They're all better off if they go back to UT and work under that same... — read more
Expats
What is the story with expats? Does Chevron still employ a lot of expats in various countries paying the all those egregious premiums and innumerable allowances? Doesn't make sense when it is making so little money hardly even enough to cover the... — read more

How do you extend unemployment benefits?
I was laid off in May 2016. I’ve sent out so many resumes all over the country and had a few interviews but I think my age is hurting me. I'm 45 years old. My unemployment has run out and I am two weeks away from being homeless. Does anyone know if... — read more

2- in 2016
I got 2- in 2016 but avoided lay off because I was in a producing asset. I am now feeling a little nervous. Should I be worried or if I get 2 in 2017 I could be safe?
Q4 Results
Pretty freakin' awful. CVX Management preaches accountability. Watson and his buddies need to look in the mirror. The "leadership" are not worth what they're paid. Time for a new lay-off, at the Executive level.

FE Voluntary Severance 1st Half PDC
Got an email from the VP and it would appear there is a package in the works for FE. Is this going to be corporate wide or select BUsiness Units? I assume Wheatstone and Gorgon will lose a lot of people. Also interesting was the statement that... — read more

How are you folks investing your retirement savings ?

2017 Salary program and CIP bonus factor
I'm guessing a 1.5% salary program and a 0.9 corporate CIP factor. 2 years without a salary program will cause newer employees to consider leaving. 0.8 CIP (last year) seems low now that commodity prices are recovering. thoughts ?

When does Angola LNG come on line?
It was originally scheduled in 2012. We are almost in 2017. I think Chevron has at least 3 Billion sunk in this and counting. Need to generate some money or deep six it and all the overhead associated with it.
