Topics regarding layoffs at Chevron Corp.

Grass, Sometimes, IS Greener

I left Chevron a few months ago. I was miserable. I had a similar story to many of you - pi---d off at how my career was handled despite multiple EEs several years in a row with stellar 360 feedback in a high visibility position. Instead of... — read more 

Union Chevron Oronite

I have been cut three times. I would love to take a retirement package to get out. I’m in the union and we cannot take the salary package, from what I’m told. The union buyout program is not very good.

EOI & Relocation

Anyone else notice in the EOI terms that if you’re offered a job that requires relocation, and decline, no severance…? If I’m in San Ramon I’d hit the AEOI button now as hard as I can.

Scope

They keep saying they will notify those who will be in scope for layoffs. In this case, who wouldn't be in scope???

We need DOGE 2025

It would be interesting to see a “DOGE” style audit of DEI spending and hiring practices. I remember the first time I heard that years of experience does not matter from a manager prior to the 2020 selection process. A lot of brainwashing in my... — read more 

How much are they really saving?

From offshoring to Manila, Buenos Aires and Bengaluru? Doesn't Chevron waste tens of billions of dollars in upstream exploration projects? Isn't that a executive failure that MCP projects go over budget and delays? Why does the axe fall on low level... — read more

Top question was “Future of DEI”

You have to be kidding me. They are announcing layoffs and we are to believe the most asked question was about the future of DEI? Grow a pair and dump it. Get back to the base business of oil production. If all you care about is being protected... — read more

While we’re all pondering the future, I find myself wondering if it’s worth staying. Consider: there will be fewer promotions and upward advancement opportunities. you’ll be in roles longer, making advancement even harder wages increases... — read more 

The dram queens are out in droves

This is but a normal and very predictable cycle in the oil industry. Y’all worried about your cushy jobs should have prepared better.

So this is what it feels like

The end of big oil. Chevron on a glide path to being out of business in 10-15 years. Spinning off oodles of cash as it slowly sinks below the waves.

What changed in the new org?

Looks like the same number of VPs reporting to MW. the boxes underneath shifted. What’s really changed that’s going to accelerate CVX?

A layoff would forfeit stock options

Deferred Severance Packages

Anyone know how/why someone would get an option to defer severance? I saw it’s through Dec 2026 and curious who they would offer that too?

Vacation

I have 6 weeks of vacation. Anyone knows what happens to it if I don’t take and/or if I take all of it now before I EOI?

Who is in charge of this mess? The unprepared few.

There is a very small group running this mess and convincing leaders they know what they’re doing. Of course ES surrounds himself with brown nosers who don’t actually know what they’re doing and walk around with a chip - meanwhile McKinsey makes... — read more 

Control what you can control

We all know that these perpetual layoffs are disruptive and demoralising. We also know that the application process is largely ceremonial and performative motions. We are told to control what we can control. What would happen if, collectively... — read more

Work is about to get cr-ppy. Even if you aren’t fired. Your workload will increase. You will spend your time correcting mistakes by ENGINE Indians. You will train your replacements over and over. Your pay and benefits will be cut. You get the idea. — read more 

Want to make things Change?

If you want to make things change then contact Conservative Media like FoxNews. If they are "America First" then they should embarrass Chevron. It can be a powerful and persuasive thing. The outsourcing has got to stop! Here are a few... — read more
