How many returning US expats were placed and how many let go?

Was looking at investor presentations....those numbers....questionable

Has anyone taken advantage of the Chevron Education Assistance for folks who were affected by the ROM/ESP ? Apparently they will pay up to 75% of tuition. Is there a time limit to apply ? what kind of programs qualify ?

What's it mean, who knows. One the thing for sure is Joe Laymon, VP of HR has empowered this man Adam Bellone to lead the review and determine who is left standing or not. I guess it's time to get some tats, do some shots, be female, grab a beer and... — read more
