I would rather see this done quickly than drag it out like this. If I am to be let go, great, I would like to know that soon.
What should happen this week
Ask the top brass to retire, replace them with capable people, and watch the company prosper. Blame whatever you want on the downturn of oil. It doesn't matter, just replace all the top management and the perception of real change will encourage... — read more

Questions for next month's Global Townhall with John Watson: The Questions You Relly Want To Ask.
We all know too well of the lame softball and pre-screened questions that get asked at the annual Global Townhall teleconferences. Most of us tune in or show up in the auditoriums around the offices worldwide only to find out what the corporate... — read more
We should be celebrating!
We should be celebrating the demise of fossil fuel, not crying about it. Better, more reliable sources of RENEWABLE energy, far less social impact to the environment, decreased dependence on a group of princes that would otherwise be herding goats in... — read more

Armed guards?
I've seen armed guards referenced in a number of posts. I certainly saw more security during the ROM's but I didn't see armed guards. Where was this happening?
The Alpha ROM Assumed $70 bbl
Yet, we won't see $70 a barrel for many years. The next ROM will be out of a cash flow problem. What's BCG doing today? Planning my friend, planning...

MCBU Regulatory function moving out of HES
Rumor in Claydesta is the MCBU regulatory group currently in HES is being moved to another department within D&C or Operations the likely land spot.
Aramco to IPO
The upstream part of the business would be most attractive to investors. At 261 billion barrels, Saudi Aramco’s stated hydrocarbon reserves are more than ten times those of ExxonMobil, the largest private oil company. Saudi Aramco is also one of the... — read more

The money we spend on Chevron Humankind...
The money we spend on Chevron Humankind projects is a big waste of capital. You know the words "Human Energy" we see in posters and banners everywhere? ... The words; Human Energy to me is synonymous with Big Fart. What else is human energy in the... — read more

Ex-Employee.
I'm not a troll but a former employee who was let go after 27 years of unblemished service. The layoff process was humiliating and embarrassing to all who endured. Armed security guarding the "layoff communication rooms" was particularly... — read more
World is changing and not for the better!
All the oil lamp fillers who post on these boards, hat the electric lights. Sorry, but if you do not change with it, you will be in deep poop. Blaming others is childish, it is your fault, if you cannot complete.
one good thing about cost reductions ...
At least one good thing has come out of the 'getting more efficient' drive in Chevron. As of January 1, 2016 D&C employees (at least DWEP) no longer have to submit a mandatory behavior-based safety (BBS) observation per month. While it did make sense... — read more

For Texas residents, how did you report the severance payment (received after signing the release waiver) with the Texas Workforce Commission?
Did you answer "yes" to the question: Did you receive other income from any of the sources below that you have not already reported to TWC? (Additional payment when you left your job other than wages you had earned)
Retiring from Chevron...
Those who chose EoI and then retire are really not being treated with the respect they deserve. After many years of loyal service to Chevron, they are simply shown the door, no thank you no expression of gratitude from Chevron. That is not the Cevron... — read more
Great Material Here
I did not know that Chevron had so many people with a talent for dry, cynical, sharp-witted, bitter and sarcastic humor. This board is better than the movie Office Space. I could use these postings as a script for a new movie. Keep it up. Every time... — read more
Did your health insurance "change" in the middle of last year?
I swear I'm not trolling. Something seemed to happen to my Chevron Health insurance around late July to early August 2015. Before that, claims were all approved immediately. After that, every single claim was denied until I called to have them... — read more
CVX Stock Ended 2015 Down 19.5%.
Our Chevron stock on Dec 31, 2014 was $111.65 and ended today, Dec 31, 2015 at a measly $89.96. That's a difference of -$21.69 or down by 19.5%. Terrible!
GOM Corruption
I've worked with a few BUs, and for some reason GOM has always been the one that gave off a scent of something not quite right, upper executives very friendly with vendors to a fault, and the persecution of the little man for receiving menial... — read more
What's with all the talk regarding dress code?
After all the analysis, evaluation and problems/issues we've had over the last 18 months, what is this big talk about dress code? I've seen many posts from staff and even some team leads/managers about this. Talk of a big drive about projecting... — read more
Chevron Layoffs at Gorgon
Chevron reduced personnel by 1200 at Gorgon. This is probably part of the 6000-7000 layoffs announced recently, which is separate from the various ROM's in Houston. You can find articles about this. Oh, well.
