Technical skills and decisiveness have been replaced by social skills and likability. Performance is not tied to delivering results.

I have some concerns about the new Subsurface and Exploration org charts, which seem to be adding positions just to keep the same number of GMs. Both organizations have not been delivering meaningful value and are imposing processes that are burden... — read more 

They notified the next org layer (30-28) this week starting Wednesday. All those left standing were locked out of office

To the auditors that failed our BU last year, Thank you for ruining our lives and causing fear. You say you understand how we produce oil, but that’s a lie. So make everyone happy in 2025, and press AEOI.

This is a friend of mine who helped me find a business to own so I’m in a position to EOI. Another option to finding another w-2 job. Advantagefranchisebrokers dot com. Good luck everyone.

What is the most recent cvx discovery that cvx developed? Farm-ins and acquisitions don’t count. I want accountability in the new exploration organization. 1 year. No commercial discoveries. Burn at the stake after 1 year of failure.

For people in the Houston area who are looking outside the company for new opportunities, there is a company that recently opened an R&D center in Katy, Texas. They are looking to hire process/chemical engineers, data scientists, SCM, etc... — read more 

Interesting how half the posts here are purely IT focused - as if anyone else in CVX even cares. Honestly, have zero patience for this division of the company. Every request for help is met with stonewalling, re-routing, or an overkill response... — read more 

If it helps, I used ChatGPT to help me decide. In the end the AEOI button was the only option. Hopefully CVX does the right thing, supposedly that’s what they always do and lets me go by August. Navigating Chevron’s workforce restructuring requires... — read more 

It seemed like he was being groomed to be successor for BB. Then they brought this robot LC whose sole expertise is offshoring jobs. Then he puts the same people in the boxes below him that got us into this non-peer leading performance. What a... — read more 

Decided to take the AEOI offer/option and it feels wonderful! Hoping there is enough like me that can get out of the way and lessen the blow on those who need to stay. Not a lot of confidence in the latest re-org since it’s the same LT in charge... — read more 

I’m located in San Ramon and I’ve been with Chevron for 10+ years my challenge is, we’re all professionals, we’re still paid to do a job even though this ROM has been handled ludicrously, but I’m really having hard time focusing and getting my work... — read more 

Completely full of sh-t or smartest bod in the industry

Relocating to India doesn't necessarily result in significant cost savings. In fact, the overall estimate might be higher, and the quality could be lower, leading to increased maintenance requirements. Furthermore, Chevron's culture has deteriorated... — read more 

One townhall explicitly stated that performance ratings would not be used in selections… But we want to keep the best..? And if you say performance ratings are biased, then why do we even do it? Just as a farce to power raises? Or lack thereof? — read more 

That gave us the wildly successful chapter/platform model and Imagine IT design? This time will be different?

In past reorgs, there was some cutesy name for cutting folks, Transform, Accelerate Downstream, etc. I have not heard a name for the current culling. Anyone else?

I believe about half of IT operates this way—they’re glued to PowerPoint, Excel, or tools like CMDB ServiceNOW or other checklist tool. Their main job seems to be pestering others, asking them to do the work of filling out checklists, like... — read more 

10 years ago we had nearly 65k employees. Then it dropped to a 50k range. Then we got to the 40k range and it's trending even lower. What's the end number we're looking at here? How many people do they think they can run this place with while still... — read more 

Why they couldn't get done with quicker .. Make it easy for everyone.. don't pretend you are going to look at Talent card and sh-t.

It's crazy how the IT town halls start out with how amazing our org is and how we crushed all the metrics. We delivered their 200MM cost savings request in 50% of the time allotted. The reward for good work is supposed to be more work. In this case... — read more 

Of course they know what’s going to happen. Of course the org charts are already finalized or at least very close to it. They can’t announce what they are going to do specifically because it’s is going to be pretty horrible for the workforce in the... — read more 

Given all the town halls today, I'm surprised this board isn't more active with new info. Guess there isn't any. Surprise, surprise.

Right?

Funny that he says he has stayed at Chevron so long because of the Chevron Way behaviors, even though he doesn’t use them!

here we go!

Summary of HSE TH: we have 6 positions defined. That’s as far as we got. If you’re in HSE, you’ll be in 2H event, unless you’re in STAC. Also, if you’re an FE, you might be in both 1H and 2H. If you’re a project professional, we’re not sure yet. If... — read more 

The lack of leadership transparency and town hall continual excuses is frustrating…. I am sick of it!

Imagine how bad it would get if they didn't consider us family.

As I sit here my heart hurts and I wanna vomit. With 20 years even with the bad there has been so much good. Coworkers have become family. This reorg feels different. I just want to wish everyone the best in what happens or choice you make. I am... — read more 

Any news on new damage to Houston offices?

Will MG deliver and tell us the truth that they don’t know what they’re doing? She will be poised for sure, but honest? We shall see…

So what do we call this layoff cycle? The crews making the new are have shark names … so where is the chum???!!!!

Why couldn't they just mention that and not be scared. We all knew the axe man cometh.

Heard some people are hosting celebrations. For those of you who officially said goodbye and pushed eject on this mess, how does it feel? What’s next? Do we think they’re likely to make us leave right away on the ‘minimum’ date or force some to... — read more
