Seems we’d have more success and better buy in on performance, culture and vision if everyone received even a small amount of stock as part of comp. As a relatively newer employee I wonder why this was never done for all? Being a global enterprise... — read more

No one wants to live in Midland
Another MCBU Midland Leadership is leaving the company. When will they listen to the employees that no one wants to live here. At least relocate the office employees to Lubbock or up the PEP. #G-nsUp

Layoffs 2025
Will layoff be based on employee performance?
Chevron feels like a dying animal
At least from the perspective of an employee. I’ve been with Chevron for a long time, went through a lot of cr-p and good times too, and it never felt like this before. I started at the time when there was still a prospect of actually having a career... — read more
You’re stuck
Look around colleagues. Wherever you are right now, is where you’re going to be in 5 years. Paltry raises. Almost zero chance for promotion. Fewer and fewer roles, and more going overseas. It’s like working at a big box store Just before... — read more
CBU packages
The word on the street is packages are coming from some folks who were not taken by CNRL. Any details? Why some and not all will get it?
EOI Fast Track
How can I get on the EOI fast track? I have several offers and would like to take the package and move on?
Realistic Layoff Timeline
Yall im just a new grad and don’t know much, so can someone with more seniority / connections help me understand the axing timeline? I’ve heard Chevron gives 3-6 month heads up if you’re impacted, but can’t help but feel like things will be different... — read more
Isn’t it kind of weird how we’re laying off now?
During the last two reorgs (Alpha in 2015 and Transformation in 2020) we were losing billions and oil was below $40 bbl. Now crude is in the 70-80 range, the economy is strong, and we are raking in billions with all time high FCF. And this reorg... — read more
It’s such bullsh-t to call WFH people slackers
If someone didn’t do their job, that’s on managers. I can bet you that the same percentage of people slack in the office and at home. RTO/hybrid has been introduced for one reason only, and that’s attrition. With a need for direct, creepy kind of... — read more
Hybrid Christmas Parties
Didn't know it was going to be a Hybrid Christmas party. They only had seating for 1/2 the attendees. And what's with the drink tickets to get a Coke? Were so hard up we're limited the soft drinks? Guess they made it up with the Parking Fees.
Number of 3+ exceeds
What is the percentage limit on the number of 3 or 4 exceeds that can be given this year out of the overall population? I heard that there was a limit established this year. Worked really hard this year and have tangible results to show with strong... — read more

IT Holiday Party....
Did AG have an entire roll of drink tickets that she used up. Calling people out, hollering into the microphone all to get people to dance. Then we have MC LC for five minutes to show up say hi, happy holidays, go home after this and then exited... — read more
My guesses on culture reset
I think nobody (including leaders) are ready for candid feedback, that needs to change. 2. We have a culture on paper (the CVX Way) and we have our real culture which is where the majority of leaders don't exhibit it and are generally rewarded... — read more
Angola?
Are we safe in SASBU? So far did not hear anything here.
California Time Away Benefits Call
Is anyone else listening to the dumpster fire Teams call about California time away benefits? Not only are they not recording the call, which is incredible, given how important and complex this topic is, but the presenter has exhibited a truly... — read more
Foggy reorg
I’m beginning to think that they still have no clue how to do the reorg. They know how they will cut the costs. Not really a difficult thing to do when you target employees first and look at just how much each one of them cost the company. Merit... — read more
Waiting for the fallout
I’ve been working non-stop, taking on the tasks of multiple people for over a year. If they let me go, my team would be scrambling, and they’d need at least two people to fill my shoes. Truthfully, I wouldn’t mind if it happened. Watching everything... — read more

Hooray for Bollywood
Rumors suggest that there's a chevron inspired remake of the lord of the rings. Apparently they're arguing over the precious representing dividends or managers bonuses. All are aligned on filming in India to save costs.
Folks working in Refineries what's your thoughts on 1 barrel 1 refinery
Folks working in Refineries whats your thoughts on 1 M barrel 1 refinery theme .. seems like Cut most of jobs except Operations and Maintenance. Rest all shared across Refineries ?
Reality for San Ramon folks
Thought exercise. If the reduction target is as high as other post suggested, probably most if not all of the cut would be from San Ramon to save on relocation package.
Commercial: slash and burn
Anyone have any idea of the cut targets once they combine D/S, M/S and Chems commercial and VCO groups? Axeman may be sharpening his blade right about now.
OO Townhall
Looks like the 30% number for finance was accurate (for the US). 10% overall including FSS. Sounds like they’re trying to eliminate BU finance and centralize anything that’s not “decision analyst” support. Curious how they define that. Overall a... — read more

The company is a disaster right now
High performer here who has been through other layoffs here and I am as down as you get around here. Its absolutely miserable working here and it's ELT's fault for the way this place has become. I don't know a single person who isn't stressed and... — read more

What are everyone's guesses on structure % increase and CIP with the information we have right now?
UK expats on the block?
How can we justify having UK expats in Houston during a massive layoff? I get it, the base salary is roughly 70% of US payroll at the same PSG. However, when you add up the other benefits of UK payroll (eg. car allowance, 20+% contribution to... — read more
Corporate Affairs Future?
Many posts about IT and Finance -- any ideas of how Corporate Affairs will fare in the reorg and layoff game? More centralization? Less focus on legislation with Trump in office? How will Chevron fight changing public opinion?
Worst CEO and ELT Team?
Is our current ELT team the worst in Chevron history and and in the industry? When layoffs and outsourcing is your only lever to pull we have terrible "leaders".
Cratering morale and efficiency - welcome to the land if unintended consequences
I had 3 hours of unplanned discussions on reorgs with coworkers yesterday, as reorgs details dribble out from various town halls. It was literally unavoidable. I’ve never seen morale this low, or people this checked out here before. The next 6... — read more
