Years ago after being laid off I started looking for ways to cover costs if I was RIF'ed again. There were two things I found, one IncomeAssure won't cover you unless you have held your job for 24 months and and have purchased the coverage 6 or 9... — read more 

While the wait and suspense was agonizing, I appreciate that MCBU prioritized the people who were being let go over those who were offered positions. If I had been let go after people had started rejoicing about their job offers, it would've added... — read more 

Just thinking about all the carnage today and was wondering how many, if any, friends and family employees were let go. Chime in if you were one or know of one.

It's back to work on Monday, just like nothing ever happened. You better work your fanny off and suck up to your manager everyday. Chevron needs maximum effort from all of you until the next layoff this year when you, too, will be laid off.

I magically became a drilling engineer today. BROKE!

The blood letting is over at MCBU's Houston office. I don't have exact numbers but the sense is that approximately 50% of the petroleum engineers and geologists were let go.

I am interested to see how many people are getting to move to a new job. Are there any must moves that have been placed?

I suppose I can use the time to figure out how all this repatriation stuff works. Not like I didn't see it coming, but I am not sure how all of this is going to work out. I guess the expats getting cut are kind of in limbo.

I'm ex Chevron, left a while back for a better job to avoid this situation, the writing was on the wall. Is downstream being cut at this time too?

I got back from my appointed meeting. I got canned. My job position was eliminated, I was told. I bet these a$$holes reinstate the job position within 3 months under another title. Yet I get the axe after 12 years and excellent PMP's and rankings. I... — read more 

Work 6 more months training a contractor to do my job. That's what it will take for me to get the severance package.

The most experienced hands are being shown the door when they are needed most to guide through many changes. An arbitrary rule closed the jobs of anybody here for a year and a half or less. Almost without exception these people are adding little... — read more 

If you didn't get a calendar invite with your ROM rep and HR business partner for 15 minutes today, then it's safe to assume you got a job. The job owner will call you if you're in a different location or will just come grab you and talk to you if... — read more 

Just want to make sure that everyone knows that they are entitled to 6 months of subsidized COBRA medical coverage, and unemployment compensation. Severance pay does not take away your right to unemployment, and getting to pay the same amount for... — read more 

After 43 years in the Oil Industry I am done. My meeting is in 15 minutes. Wishing everyone the best! It has been a good ride, I have no complaints!

I am an expat on home rotation and have not heard a thing. I suppose they don't want to call and wake me up, but there are only a couple of more hours in their work day over there. The wait is killing me, even if I am not a "Must Move".

The whole process was clouded with 'the good ole boys' cronie-ism. Anyone in a remote location was out of site out of mind. The people 'left standing' were some of the best employees I have encountered, but back-room deals were made. There was... — read more 

meetings rooms are booked solid all day ... black cars lined up along 1400 Smith ... good luck everyone

Meetings have been held. Many expats, alot with experience, are told they are not selected. Commence the long march home. Good luck to the rest of you.

15 min meeting on 40th floor Houston with HR. I guess that means I got axed. No word from my supervisor.

Approximately 170 employees were sent today invites for 15-20 minutes long meetings to meet HR on Thu and bring their company belongings. I bet these are EOIs and left standing ones; big axe on expats but US locals also plenty. Those lucky ones... — read more 

Heard we get hit hard. Thanks chevron

Though my faith is yet to be decided, for the past weeks I knew I was not alone. Mentally I am ready for the worst. Even if I am selected to stay on, not sure I will stay very long. I realised that there is life outside work or CVX. Thanks everyone... — read more 

No email including meeting requests as of 7pm. Nothing clear on the website how this will be handled. Will they tell the left standing first and move on to the people who were able to land a job? Will it be the other way around? Will they mix it up?... — read more 

I read on this site that there would be an email this afternoon if you were placed, but so far, there has been no report of that. I suppose it could mean that no one who posts here was selected, but it is unlikely.

Saw a bunch of security guys outside the building as I was leaving. My sister works there.

Finished packing up today. Hopefully everyone got their personal files, PMPs and personal stuff out of the office. Very much looking forward to getting tomorrow over with. This whole ROM process has been so massively stupid and half-baked that it... — read more 

Chevron has hired HR staff to monitor this board and spread propaganda. That's right, they've hired folks to monitor a layoff informational website while they continue to layoff workers. The Chevron Way®

Well, just about everyone should know their status by now, either directly or a gut feeling. What did you think as you are leaving for good or watching others leave? After staring blankly into your owrn thoughts wondering how it has all gonè so... — read more 

Why have the people in scope not been asked to create a list of current items being worked? . What happens with all of the work that they are currently doing? Does this just get dropped? . Why have some people been told they have to be at the office... — read more 

I suppose the invite means they will tell me I've been laid off? I assumed that if I were selected they would have sent an offer letter in the email like they do during the PDC? I already know that one person has been notified and she decided to... — read more 

Iam unable to tie to the Social security offset number that Chevron has in my retirement estimator. The total amount of my career earnings from my Social Security numbers and the Chevron are very close (less than 5K difference). However, the monthly... — read more 

supposedly GOM will do their notifications today instead of tomorrow thru Monday. anyone heard anything ? waiting to see a bunch of cars outside 1400/1500 downtown Houston tomorrow and increased security presence. so far nothing out of the ordinary

Dont feel safe if you survived rhis ESP By the end of 2016 they will get rid of 90% staff the way the costs are blowing out.
