Given some of the info that’s trickling out about 2025 layoffs, like the Finance update, did they just straight up lie and set false expectations when they communicated the HQ move timeline? This is wrong on so many levels.

Heard from a Houston colleague that 2025 reorg for the finance dept will result in a 60 pct reduction on workforce. Seems crazy high...

First time going through the year end performance review process. How are the different buckets (A&I, GC, BR and DR) defined / ranked? Are the different buckets weighted? If so, how are they weighted? Trying to understand if two exceeds expectations... — read more 

So there’s gonna be layoffs, but we’re gonna keep spending money to do our names and give gift cards out for Christmas and people will be out of jobs

A few posts here are referencing a hybrid email that was sent but I didn’t receive anything. Care to share who the audience is for the email and who sent it? Thanks!

The program itself is fair, the way that Chevron management will communicate it / roll it out / justify it will not be. They will gaslight everyone into thinking this is a data driven approach when they clearly have seen employee morale is in the... — read more 

I can’t imagine a bigger bonfire of money than EMC. Nothing like marking up consulting costs 15% for no value. I hope they’re cut first.

If you are psg 26+ you should be doing the type of collaborative work where M-TH is required. Let the rest of the folks come in three days a week. I say this as a PSG 26 who would prefer wfh personally.

How much longer do us non LTIP peons have to enjoy hybrid? Or does this mean they’re laying off everyone below 26?

More announcements coming

Anyone applying jobs during work hours? Asking for a friend…

All indicators based on what Mike is saying there will be more layoffs enterprise wide. Didn't he say they weren't going to do that anymore after the layoff to end all layoffs in 2020? Can we trust anyone above our direct supervisor, if that?

Skip the holiday parties. Don’t socialize with leaders that don’t care about you and will fire you tomorrow. Don’t feed their egos. It won’t help you in the layoffs.

There's a lot of IT comments trickled through each post. Let's keep it in the family. I'll start by saying IT has been a sh1t show since ImagineIT. Our great leaders took everything bad about the old ITC model and created something even worse. Here... — read more

If you're just starting out at Chevron, you need to learn right away that office politics run the show. Forget meritocracy - it’s been out the window for ages. If you want your career to take off, you have to learn the art of playing the game. That’s... — read more 

CVX is a multi-billion dollar company that is run off of siloed excel spreadsheets. These sheets are reinvented every 2 or 3 years as managers and staff are rotated from positions they have just barely started to learn, to positions they don’t know... — read more 

I really believe MW words about the need to change in culture and I think they are serious about it. Unfortunately, it took too many losses and even fatalities to come to this conclusion. The DEI only helped three categories, white women, black women... — read more 

Everyone can agree we have WAYYY to many PSG 26-27 directors and advisors with no direct reports and extremely fuzzy matrix-style duties. Most can not show they added any business value in any given year but that they gave their two cents on some... — read more 

Man, I’m really wondering if this time they’ll actually factor in education and experience during the selection process. Feels like there are so many so-called 'leaders' out there with zero legit education or real experience, just making mess after... — read more 

I'm newer to Chevron and still learning the ropes. I assume valuable contribution is basically average or meets expectations and, thus, gets people a 3% raise. But how does exceeds expectations affect your raise? Does anyone ever get exceeds in all... — read more

Expecting a new job offer on the table soon. Pay slightly higher than CVX. Similar benefits, etc. Should I turn it down and wait to cash in that EOI and then look again? Hate leaving the cash on the table…feels like giving them what they... — read more

Through out the entire DEI program, save $$$ there and the rest will fix itself!

What impact will the upcoming layoff announced have on the CIP? Does anyone think differently about their CIP guesses?

Chevron’s 2025 capital budget is about $2 billion less than its 2024 budget. https://stocks.apple.com/AyY6Kk64bTruuYn8rY1gqew

There’s no way they actually execute on $700-900 million in layoffs this quarter, so why put it on the books already?

I know it's early but does anyone know where the EOI will be? Mikey said something like "some locations" - I'm guessing US only?

If you have been in charge for years at any level and now the mantra is a cultural reset surely it is you, dear leader, who is the problem? The bloated org structures, poor processes and lack of direction are not revelations to anyone nor the lack of... — read more 

Can’t wait to what new heights of apathy and complacency we hit in 2025. My boss is already so deeply checked out. And I’m doing only the bare minimum until I found out if I have a gig. Just coasting until k smash that EOI button
