I have a few times. Worst cases of Chevron derangement syndrome, they usually had pretty mediocre jobs but were addicted to the power point lifestyle . I dont know what it is: a lack of confidence that they cant find a new job, too far Chevronized... — read more 

If you are 1 to 5 years at Chevron and trying to navigate your career path, it might seem foggy but there is a method to the madness. You have not fully built your network yet while everything seems to be changing fast. My advice is collaborate more... — read more 

Between the brain fog, fatigue and confidence taking a hit, did anyone feel HR or management quietly decided you were “past your prime”? Did you tell HR, or did you keep it to yourself? Curious if anyone’s been through this.

Why is it any time I talk to any chevron employee they hate their job? Why is it every time I talk to a Chevron subcontractor they hate working for Chevron? Seems like Chevron doesn’t give a fu-k about any local community. Let alone their own... — read more 

Anyone ever heard of someone who survived a Chevron pip?

I’m in a research group. My research was fully funded for the last three years and deviated in a direction from my normal work. I did this because (1) it was requested of me by my manager and others in my unit and (2) too much friction with another... — read more

What's the impact of today's Engine announcement? Does that mean more layoffs are coming?

Hello everyone - came in to get some laughs and get caught up on the BS I left behind. Life is better after 17+ years with CVX and recently hitting a one year anniversary with the new company and new leadership/team. Sorry to gloat but greener... — read more 

Personal leave was announced yesterday. Today he’s missing from the address book… anyone have the tea?

Might have missed it because it was held at engine. Heard some colleagues talk about how bad today’s Townhall was. What’s the scoop?

I btch on here as much as the rest. But credit where it’s due. Thanks Mike.

With the massive profits the company is raking in, it might go a long way with the employees who have hit rock bottom morale to give an additional bonus. I know there's a f a t chance of that happening with MW ,but all of us who have suffered through... — read more 

"Surging oil and gas prices drive Chevron to $12 billion in adjusted earnings, quadrupling last year's results." Come on Chevron, invest in employees...they are doing more for less and still making pre-covid wages! What is the incentive for... — read more 

My prediction is our lead message is that we still need to cut costs - no matter the results.

Well, their plan is working. Over the last month two of my most talented colleagues have left for other firms. As predicted by every study, the forced attrition is working through departures of the most talented. The only folks being left behind are... — read more 

When you tell your manager you’re not relocating, will they terminate you or force you to resign? What’s better from a benefits standpoint?

Oh yeah that’s gonna be well attended. What a joke. We know which country is their favorite.

Any supervisors here can confirm what they actually monitor?

Each asset will have to have the bottom 15% (5% of them will be PIP). HR doesn’t know how or what the process looks like. Gotta love Human Energy and The Chevron way right? Those messages are dead. It’s a dog eat dog world. Get the most out of your... — read more 

What a joke.

I know a lot of employees are rightfully frustrated with the stress-induced layoffs over the last few years. The truth is that management is honestly listening and trying to do its part to make things better. One of the behaviors that can cascade... — read more 

Hey MW and Executive Leadership, Man up and address the turmoil and stress you all have caused the company since 2020. Employees are exhausted and morale has hit rock bottom and is still trying to dig lower. Bring some kind of positivity for... — read more 

We have too many in-house counsels and law function leaders. I have seen 2-3 in house counsels in some internal meetings. They are tripping over themselves! The function overall and within business lines has put in place “zipper model” org charts to... — read more

What do the Attrition metrics for IT look like? I know its by design to get rid of Americans, but it seems much worse than anything ive seen.

A common plan within the ABU is to just wait until 2028. Is it certain that's the next big reorg or can we hope for smaller changes before then?

Best part of the call “is this recorded?” 😜

The only question is how. I'm still here because I'm waiting to see if I can get laid off with a severance package. I don't want to quit and then find out I could have gotten something if I'd just waited a little longer.

When are we going to be rid of this terrible regime? Any light at all at the end of the tunnel?

Refine 360,000 barrels and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter, don't you calI me 'cause I gotta stay, have to give another day for the Chevron Way.

I think The Goalpost was a really cool idea. It was fun to watch a game with your colleagues on a large screen. This was a great idea corporate had. I will miss it.

Ready for the changes?
