I just read an article on Yahoo that Amazon is changing its forced rankings of employees. They call it the Hunger Games approach to performance ranking. I wish Chevron would do the same thing. Pitting employees against each other is terrible for... — read more 

I was laid off last June and will be off subsidized COBRA on January 1. I am 58 and have a spouse and 2 children to support. I have 36 years of service and qualify for 100% Chevron medical contributions and I was planning to move onto a Chevron... — read more 

"ExxonMobil Is Digging Its Own Grave" http://finance.yahoo.com/news/exxonmobil-digging-own-grave-150000943.html

Already retired from Chevron and working elsewhere, time has come for me to take the pension lump sum. A December payout has the lowest interest rates, and thus largest lump sum, used in the calculations since at least 2003. With the 0.1% increase in... — read more 

Been a month and still no results. The feedback must have been horrible.

When I sent some paper work to Chevron HR service PO box via certified mail, the tracking status says delivered to Agent, anyone know what that means ?

The news today reports only about 15% of US oilfield workers have lost their jobs in the current slump. That means 85% have stayed fat and happy. For those of you on the far side of the mountain, what do you think led you there? What tips do you have... — read more 

As I write this, the price of crude oil is $43.73, down 93 cents. It was $51.60 on October 19. There will be no permanent agreement on a production freeze or cutback among major oil producing countries. Many recent news articles are projecting the... — read more 

Just heard they will be closing the doors this year at Covington

This is not CVX specific (so no doubt some sad twat will chastise me for that...), however in a number of posts I detect a resentment towards those who have not achieved the stereotypical success admired by many - namely accumulation of material... — read more 

I am getting ready to move my pension what are the pros and cons of leaving it with Vanguard. I am taking a lump sum. If you are under 59.5 have you done a 72T. I have had my 401K managed by Vanguard. Have you found better rates and options out... — read more 

How has life for folks who have retired from Chevron since 2014 ? . Happy, Bored, financially Secure or Starting to miss the Paycheck ?

...Pressured by the prolonged swoon in oil prices cutting into profitability, the San Ramon, Calif.-based company has looked to cut costs. Chevron has said it would cut about 8,000 jobs—up to 12% of its workforce—and slash billions of dollars from... — read more 

What to expect? Hopefully no more layoffs for this year.

I guess the key is to be able to say down the road we increased the dividend every year, even if the whole company needs to be burned in the boiler to make this stream. Hummmm ... Let me guess what metric defines top level management bonuses.

I was let go in July. I got a better job last week by downplaying CVX experience. I told the interviwer CVX is a crap company who let go good pople. I also said CVX is soon going to be in big mess as it invested in major projects assuming $90 price... — read more 

Heard a rumor that there will be some significant headcount reduction in 2017. Anyone know more about this?

Insanity in individuals is something rare. But in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule. - Friedrich Nietzsch I would add "annonymous layoff blogs" to that list

So I read today that Chevron, aka 'The Chev' will spend 1 billion dollars to upgrade the Richmond Refinery (in California) to meet the gasoline requirmeets of that state. It seems that the land of nuts and fruits has unique gasoline blends to meet... — read more 

So last of the shelf is being sold, nvr mind all our efferts. Wonder how much they got for selling us out to Cox and Arena. How can they make money and we cant? M-F-ers

At $50 oil price it will take 2 years for filing bankruptcy in my opinion.

What the hell am I missing? Charging $21 at the office for a flu shot!? We can go to a free clinic, or a retail clinic for $9 or free with insurance. Chevron should expect high absences due to flu this year. This is beyond ridiculous.

I work with CVX from time to time on onshore and offshore JOA issues. That land department is a clown show and has been for years. Some of these people have been around since the dark ages and have no idea what they are doing or any concept of Ops... — read more 

Chevron needs to get to that $10B in asset sale for 2017 to maintain its dividend. Where do we stand now?

Well, the price of oil is up to $51.74 today. Just think, if all of the MCP's, especially Gorgon/Wheatstone, had not been so screwed up by Chevron management, many people would not have been laid off. The Permian basin is projected to produce over 2... — read more
