Tenets of operation " the Kool-Aid"
My first (okay not really my first) inclination that the Chevron Way and the tenets of operation were not the way the company really believed was the a project alpha email that indicated we "over delivered to our customers". Ummm hello management... — read more
The Truth
The Truth is that what we are seeing from Chevron is the inevitable result of having an accountant instead of an engineer at the helm. Watson listens far more to the analysts and Wall St than he does to those of us who actually understand the oil and... — read more
GOMBU asset sale
I heard today that many staff will go to the new company who is purchasing the assets. I guess this will reduce the number of people who are laid off. I wish the best for those who are transferred to the new company with the assets.
An "old" Chevron hand, here,

CHEVRON IS NOT LAYING OFF ENGINEERS AND SCIENTIST.

It is time to stand up and seek for clear answers about the future of the Company,
everyone knows that 1500 reduction of workforce won't solve the Company's cash flow problem. Company needs major overhaul in management who led us into this mess, and we don't see any changes in management. They can let go of all the workforce, but... — read more
