I was just told by someone who would probably know that technical writers are going to be replaced with ENGINE employees. Imagine being stupid enough to think that could possibly work out well. Chevron leadership is full of id--ts. McKinsey or... — read more 

The Chevron of today doesn’t resemble the Chevron I started working for. Also, twelve years has been more than enough, and it stopped being challenging, interesting or motivating a while ago. The direction Chevron took with absorbing and offshoring... — read more 

At the offices and on this website I see a lot of talk about CEO MW and COO MN and EB and on and on about how they’re ruining the company and will drive it into the ground. We need to get rid of bad managers and PO and Global Advisors and... — read more 

Hey consultants, leadership, Blackrock, ‘powers that be’….. as you’re chipping away at the company, I suggest you take a close review of all managers, esp. those in the same cushy roles going on 15-20+ years … then look at the turnover rates below... — read more 

Less than 100 positions to remain in San Ramon. Could be less after all the US cuts that are going to come in 2025. People will start to be notified in early November if their role is staying in San Ramon or moving to s***hole Houston. Minimal... — read more 

I have no issues with the Engine. There is exceptional talent in India and combined with exceptional talent in the US it COULD be an amazing thing. The issue is the lack of clarity for the US workers. Make it clear to your current work force that... — read more 

It looks like Philip 66 is going to close down… News reports are out today that Valero may leave the state of California as well… Any good stories about Richmond and El Segundo? Does Chevron plan to sell to an investment group? Will they close it... — read more 

Let’s gossip! Who has good intel on any rumors? I’ve never seen a place so tense, which tells me people know things - big things.

Do you all remember that time when MW tried to blame employees for Chevron's woes? Lol... and then the managers had the audacity to tell employees to work harder

Since Chevron is investing in “affordable geograhy” in India, how soon will layoffs occur as Engine comes online?

Is this true?

Can supervisors and direct reports be the same psg? Just wondering if HR allows this

I joined up during the Bill O. days. We had a healthy pipeline of new discoveries and projects, executed on MCPs relatively well, real turnaround on safety culture and empowering the workforce, we focused on running the business well and supporting... — read more 

I’m just hanging around for the severance at this point. I can’t wait to get out of here. The sooner the layoffs come, the better. It’s pretty much the only thing keeping me from leaving right now. This is nowhere near the same Chevron I joined over... — read more 

If we really want to return value to the shareholders and cut costs we should send all the Executive positions overseas. They don't add much value other than to their own pocketbook. Getting rid of millions in salary a year with just MW alone will be... — read more 

You all who worked with or for EB. Give us the first hand information who she really is...

Bring CBU back to the top as active layoffs are happening. Any new updates?

I do not see any possible impact on our jobs in Angola at least in the near future. Yes, we have some made up roles but it seems pretty stable here. Did anyone hear anything else?

Does anyone know how many people will go by department? I know its 30% is that across board or more to go in some departments than others...

I keep seeing 30% headcount states here. Anyone know the source? That seems….wildly implausible. Nothing works now. That kinda of cut and it would all just grind to a stop…

“ Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Gets $30 Million Pay Raise Amid Year of Massive Gaming Layoffs”… given MW seems enamored with Nadella, I expect he will ask for the same bump in compensation.

Lately, the stress at Chevron has been relentless, it feels like six months have stretched into six years. Every week leaves me more drained than the last, and it's taking a toll on my health. And the fact is things are only going to spiral further... — read more 

Has this been confirmed? We all know that reorg = layoffs. It would be nice, for once, to get heads up.

Someone said that JG indicated 50% cuts to his org in US. Some jobs moved to ENGINE and some just gone altogether. Honestly I’m not sure how much value that org adds to probably about time.

Hybrid is just about done. Announcement coming out next week.

IT is going to cut 500+ US jobs. IT ELT to be informed on Monday. Workforce communication should come out shortly after.

What’s this big email coming on November 1. Or this is just rumor mill at full speed

Are we celebrating The Engine in 1500 today?

It has been a good ride of multi employment. If WFH goes away I will have to decide which job to quit.

Chevron Corporation plans a $66.5 million renovation of its downtown office …. Chevron is renovating its restrooms on floors L31-39 for $2.93 million. So I guess the executive gold plated toilets in SR are real. I don’t mind getting laid off if my... — read more 

Where is Les, Mike, Mark, Michelle and other leaders? We are hearing absolutely nothing. Guess they are too busy counting their money and planning to destroy the employees.

It’s becoming obvious something major is happening; finance is being offshored (never dreamt that would’ve happened), IT has always been dealing with offshoring but it seems these cuts will be deeper and longer, CBU was sold and our colleagues were... — read more 

Why do we not have a office staff union? We are being decimated by ELT. Can't do a thing alone but all together have more of a chance fighting MWs greed.

Will the OPG reorg mean that no jobs will be posted in San Ramon, since the HQ move has already been announced? So the OPG reorg likely accelerates the timing of the decision to move to Houston for SR based employees, right?

How honest are you being with CES?

EB ruins a perfectly functioining BU, TCO by implementing agile and replacing processes that worked before. Now everyone is confused about their roles and responsibilities and it is more difficult to get things done. Then EB is given the opportunity... — read more
