I love how they (JJ and MB) just had to send out these emails about the selection process for the upcoming layoffs. I guess they just couldn't wait until after the holidays were over. I cannot understand the timing. Everyone knows it is coming... — read more 

word on the BP layoff site is that BP will merge the lower 48 and GOM with Chevron.

I was reading this posting at the COP site https://www.thelayoff.com/t/EKqpEOr#replies The part about committees and team decisions, etc., sounds so much like CVX. Poor / weak management that hides behind this teamwork / committee approach. It's not... — read more 

The job creators are the middle class and poor, there represent 90% of all consumers. Without customers, no business adds any jobs, when all gains from growth go to the top, the overall economy suffers. That's what's happening right now.

Saw this CVX news posting. Did they lay off another 1200 this week, or is this old news? http://oilpro.com/links/26468/chevron-slashes-1200-jobs-western-australia

Is that possible in the upcoming layoffs in 1Q2016? inputs appreciated.

.....are the excellent, top 1% of society, Chevron employees who are left going to get us back to being the best? Like the fantastic job we've done on Gorgon and Wheatstone? Or how about AMBU, that's a proud example of excellence? I was thinking we... — read more

Fear not you over 50 types because your company has a strict policy on non discrimination. Hope HR reads this before the ROMs in 2016. http://careers.chevron.com/global_operations/country_operations/united_states/docs/eeoletter.pdf

There goes 2016 productivity. The 2015 ROM was a massive distraction and time sink. Might not be any point in having ETC if they layoff any more people. We got rid of a lot of low performers in the first ROM but lost quite a few good employees too... — read more

Anyone have a figure for how many of the 6-7k have already been laid off so far? Do we include contractors in the 6-7k?

HR should get cut. Does anyone really know what HR does? Hell, they don't even know what they do. They're worthless. They have no impact on getting barrels out of the ground, but if you ask them they talk like they run the place.

What do we know so far?

List them!
