No hard feelings here. I don't hate Chevron, I'm just ready to move on to the next step of my career. If I can do it with the help of a nice severance package, even better. I know a few others who feel similarly to me, so hopefully all of us get a... — read more
MW Can’t survive without the employees
If enough employees wanted to get rid of MW and MN, they could not produce for a while to show that the leadership has lost the company. The board would make changes.
Survey results
Why the heck did they ask us all to submit feedback surveys on culture and leadership and everything which McKinsey sent out - just to turn around and say at least 800 jobs are going to India. F* cked up if u ask me. If I didn't feel like it would... — read more
at least parking will be easier
I won't have to drive around all these stupid a*s $100k trucks with trailer hitches sticking out in the parking garages when all the engineers are offshored.
Stock Unload
Better unload stock before the whales do.
ENGINE: When all else fails, copy Exxon
I’m still astonished that today’s email so flatly states we were doing this because Exxon/others already have. It’s such an amazing admission of inept leadership. There isn’t a way you can slice this that does show poor leadership performance. We’re... — read more
Engineers
Does anyone know what engineering jobs would move to India? Someone just give insight if you know already.
Do we have a clue how many will be cut overall?
I’m polishing my resume right now. Also, I’m not training my replacement. I would if they would pay me extra for that, consultant fee per hour. I’ll make sure I’m already having another job lined up by then.
Congress
If you are tired of this stuff contact your congressman. Only way this stuff will stop some day. Only takes 5 minutes. https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
Pressure Time
The board and employees need to start pushing for Executive pay cuts. The company could save a lot of money without their bloated salaries. MW makes like $31 million in total compensation. Before people are outsourced let's outsource their massive... — read more
What % will survive Houston
What percentage of Houston IT will remain in the next 2 years? 50%? Less? Make your guess at how drastic a change this will be. Or for any other BUs or engineering
MW is Un-American
With the announcement of ENGINE maybe the media needs to get involved with the Un-American leadership we have.
Competitive shouldn't equal backstabbing
What's with so many Chevron employees who think that to be competitive you also have to be a backstabber? I understand you want to get ahead, but you can also do it through hard work instead of stepping on people in an effort to speed up the process... — read more
Engine
Welcome to the battledome. It's going to be a tough season for engineers. Way to support American jobs MW.
Alleged Big Announcement
Been hearing all over the place of some big announcement. Anybody with any credibility know what's going on? Will the announcement be as un-American as the rumors say?
Exxon announces layoffs
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/exxon-mobil-issues-layoff-notice-in-texas-amid-60-billion-acquisition-deal/ No surprise here - every big acquisition has a big layoff. Chevron would be this year as well if Exxon hadn't held up Hess in... — read more
Worst CEO?
For those who have been around a while who is the Worst CEO you have worked under? For me its MW. His legacy is destroying the morale of the company and layoffs. He seems to want to double down on this. The board needs to make a change now!
Any updates on Cbu sale process & layoffs?
Going to happen this year?
Value centers - where ?
In the townhall it was mentioned more use of value centers. Greater use of existing centres in Manila and BA but sounded like there might be new ones set up too. Are we just talking about India here ? Wonder if anyone has the scoop
MKWI Is Unlucky #13
Demetrius G. Scofield (1911-1917) Kenneth R. Kingsbury (1919-1937) William H. Berg (1937-1940) Harry D. Collier (1940-1945, 1950-1966) R. Gwin Follis (1945-1948) Theodore S. Petersen (1948-1961) Otto N. Miller (1961-1974) Harold J. Haynes... — read more
Idea on When Requirement to Houston will Occur
If I have a solid year, I’ll hold off on job hunting, but definitely will have my eyes open.
Outsource Wirthless!
This should be illegal all the outsourcing. MW must not stand for his country and only his rich buddies. He is one terrible person. Anyone who says we need to catch up to the other companies who are ruthless must have no s oul either.
Why hiring
Why are we hiring anyone from universities if all jobs are leaving the us?
What are they cooking?
There was no conclusive decision in townhall other than accountability and simplification and focus on execution, but what are they cooking for the employees? Someone please spill the beans, there is something being planned behind the door in SR.
Who misses big Joey G
I do 😞
Message from MW
The US employees aren't as good as overseas employees. Doesn't have anything to do with costs. I think we need to have a higher quality CEO that is overseas!
MW Hinting at heavy loss of US jobs
The comments sure make me think he's looking to send corporate functions overseas
Shared Energy Town Hall Thread
Let’s get this party started early! I predict doom and gloom combined with Dom asking questions.
How many hours do you work on a typical day?
I'm curious, considering that so many say they're overworked.
Anchor
How is this project? Seems quite small (only 75K-bbl/day) How was the execution? I didn’t see any cost escalation in the quarterly reports, was it hidden away?
DSC
Anything related to the center, drop it here. This should be interesting.
HR changes
Any other changes you’d expect to see in next few months with HR?
Layoffs are inevitable
I hope all of you are preparing for that certainty and not just hoping for the best.
Promotions - anyone getting them this year?
From what I hear leadership is going to be very strict with promotions this year. They used to hand them out easier from what it seems.
Condition of the WCs
The conditions of the WCs is a tale tale sign of how the morale of a company is doing. The WCs seem to be wrecked and falling apart. We really need to get the BE in chief out of here.
NH Leaving for new opportunities?
why does NH retire? any inside stories?
Does Chevron do PIPs?
Or do you get fired right away if you get a bad rating?
SR to Houston, No severance package.
What's the over/under that many in SR will accept the "job offer" but never move? Will that give them about an extra year or so to skill up and look for another job? Does CVX put any contingencies into these offers to keep this from happening?
Trim the Fat
Call out any deadweight you want to see go.
OPG ROM?
What’s all this about the brass announcing an OPG ROM verbally at the SR town hall ?
