I am an external hire and I’m still really trying to wrap my head around Chevron’s operating model. I’ve never worked in a place that had a “platform” that’s comprised of bunch of “product lines” and managed (for a lack of a better word) by a... — read more 

I see hourly workers on here complaining about people working from home and wanting to cut people's pay if they do. I think they should go salaried and work OT for free like we do! We need to be one team on this!

It's a waste of time being in office 4 days a week. Other than ELT going on a power trip it provides little value. It looks like they want to make employees as miserable as possible so we'll all leave. The clowns up top will go down in history as the... — read more 

I have several employees I am close with on medical leave. What happens with employees on leave during a rom? Will they be able to apply for jobs? Will they be given a job when they return? I thought their job was protected?

Well, gotta get those fancy execs some fancy offices, yep. And, just before we start laying off a whole bunch of people to save some money. Those to be let go will remember they were laid off to plush up the space for the execs. Love how they are... — read more 

Majority of the function will be moving to BA or Manilla. Tone deaf leaders went on for twenty minutes (to a crowd of soon to be sacked finance people) about how this is actually an exciting opportunity to save the company some money. Future CEO EB... — read more 

If you are placed in a “transitional” role during a reorg, do you know if you will still be offered a severance after the termination date?

Remember to do the CES and rate Senior Leadership badly. They don't really care but they need to hear it.

The employees should Unite and vote all our shares to fire ELT

Any insight on how to request and likelihood of receiving approval to switch from my current 9/80 schedule to a 4/10 schedule? I’ve known just a few people (mainly in operations) that have had a 4/10 schedule, and am curious if it is generally... — read more 

Any word on cali chevron refineries closing? Will they keep operating? P66 just announced LA refinery closure after new bill signed by Gav. NEWSOM ...

Some HR sycophant just announced that we are heading to Portland to recruit at an “oSTEM” conference. The “o” stands for “out” and the conference is designed to recruit “out” prospective employees. I can’t believe we approve travel budgets for this... — read more 

Other than that HORRIBLE town hall, where has this guy been hiding? Someone on here called out he brought in LM from GM and a couple days later HT sent out a personnel announcement on his behalf about it “make sure to say “hello” to him in Houston... — read more 

SCM should go out first. Too many high level PSG’s not creating enough value to the org.

If so, to what PSG? And how long were you in current role / PSG? Seems like progression is going to slow to a crawl.

I'm hearing it could be 2 or 3 weeks per year of service. TBD

I want to address something critical. I've realized that I have developed an addiction to layoffs, driven by the thrill of cutting costs and restructuring. This behavior is harmful to our company and to all of you. I am seeking professional help to... — read more 

Will our management take a pay cut this time before laying off any employees? Will us average Joe's take the brunt of management failures yet again? I don't think people like MW or MN have a soul enough to do anything to help anyone than themselves... — read more 

Get ready! In line with other large companies like Ford, Chevron is quietly walking back DEI programs and commitments. Expect cuts to DIO employees and affinity groups. Elevate was placed on immediate ‘hold’ last week with no plans to ramp back up... — read more 

In a bold move that sent shockwaves through the industry, Chevron, one of the largest oil companies in the world, announced its decision to outsource its finance department overseas this week. As part of a sweeping restructuring plan, the company is... — read more 

The fun police put the kibosh on that - but let us never forget. Long live mikeymike.

The timelines for IT cuts have been accelerated. Do not be thrown off guard.

They can just stick to layoffs anytime they are in a pickle or don’t want to share profits. It’s simple, right up their alley given the leadership capacity to tackle complex issues, and it provides immediate effects. It’s always a problem in the... — read more 

What happened to many middle to senior level managers? Instead of deeply understanding the business to drive improvements, they are focusing on chairing forums and delivering keynote speeches while our performance suffers. Rather than rehearsing... — read more 

Let’s hear em. Time with company and balance. I just hit a million, little over 16 years. I missed the pre 2008 pensions so I know I’m missing out on a lot but still pleased.

If we get nothing else out of the re-org in progress, we must eliminate these horrible Chapters. They have added no value and simply confuse everyone with excess matrix and overlap. They destroy accountability and most are led by the weakest... — read more 

If you’re an employee from a recent acquisition (e.g. Noble and such) what’s your thoughts on Chevron (culture, leadership, anything). I’d love to know an outside perspective! I’ve been with Chevron most of my career and I really don’t know anything... — read more 

I'll be resigning next week - any idea what to expect? There's no official notice period, do they tend to just escort people out?

I know this is not a layoff topic but need advice on how to address a manager who is exhibiting signs of mental health issues (possibly bipolar). In recent months my boss, who had been a high performing manager, has begun to display very moody... — read more 

Some engine impacted folks have already been notified. Badges data has been shared with management and troublemakers have been contacted. Things are getting serious. They will delete this thread as well because they dont want any truth to come out... — read more 

As restructure and layoffs are on the horizons, what exactly do Platform Technical Managers (PLTM), Release Train Managers (RTE) and Product Line Managers (PLM) do? I am NOT saying they’re not important or don’t contribute to delivery work, but I’m... — read more 

CNBC posted an article a few months ago called "How Walmart, Delta, Chevron and Starbucks are using AI to monitor employee messages". I'm curious if this will be used for sentiment analysis, using metrics to make determinations for stuff like ENGINE... — read more 

I’m relatively new to Chevron, and have no idea how it works here. In my previous company they only cared about your pay and whether you are on the brink of leveling up. Those they could make the easy cuts with were always first to go. Nothing else... — read more
