Third quarter question
What do you think the COLA and average pay raise will be this year?
Looking forward to meeting our Buenos Aires replacements this week
They're in town this week for "cross-training". Best of luck.
I gave up on this place
If I'm still at Chevron in 12 months, someone needs to check my pulse. I honestly thought I'd retire here but this place stopped being part of my long-term plans when it all went to he-l about a year ago. Staying would mean I failed myself. Time to... — read more
Explain Chevron's view on employees in one sentence.

What's with Chevron's leadership?
Watching this company operate in the last few years is like seeing a three-year-old try to assemble IKEA furniture: no clue what they're doing, but damn sure they don't need instructions. Meanwhile, the rest of us are stuck holding the pieces... — read more

When do 26+ candidates find out their fate?
The selection meetings were supposed to happen this week. Do they already know their outcomes? I have a couple friends who applied but I don’t want to ask directly in case it’s bad news
How do y'all put up with this?

New Low in Manila
With the move away from dedicated desks in Manila, even locker space will now be shared—two employees per tiny unit. Meanwhile, the GM has his own office and a dedicated conference room.
