Topics regarding layoffs at Chevron Corp.

SR Townhall was a dumpster fire

Very limited space so vast majority couldn’t attend. Teams invite/meeting didn’t work for first 20 minutes and crashed. Audio beyond poor, couldn’t hear what was being said. What a train wreck.

We are bad at A LOT of things

We don’t hold anyone accountable to their “deliverables.” From the field all the way to upper level management. Instead let’s use this woke feel-good bandaid called Human Performance and say it’s the system because be don’t want to upset anyone... — read more 

Dividends and share buybacks

“Chevron Sent Shareholders $50 Billion Over the Last 2 Years (and There's a Lot More to Come)” How much was spent on exploration/building future reserves?

Reorg/layoffs are just a quick fix

Unless they are done strategically by competent people who know what they are doing. I can’t remember when was the last time I saw such top manager or heard of one. Whatever comes next must be strategically done by mgmt who has vision grounded in... — read more 

What Are We Bad At?

First, this is not a "layoff" or "I dont want to go to the office" post. This is a post that hopefully some upper mgmt reads aside from some bi-annual or culture survey. For years now, the mantra has been we have to compete with our competitors... — read more 

Move to Houston or Leave & No Severance

Way to deliver a giant f*** you to San Ramon employees! I do not trust ANYTHING that comes out of MW’s mouth at this point. True Chevron leaders like Ken Derr or DJO are a thing of the past. It’s not for me to judge you. I can only hope that karma... — read more 

Any hope?

Is there any thing that beings you hope? Any chance that we are able to end the year better than we are right now? Or is there any hope that cvx will end 2025 better?

new news about the bad news

At least MKW delivered this 1st round of bad news himself. With PB gone, didn't have him to throw under the bus. . . way to 'be a man' MKW. Ok, next round of crazy - on or around 8/12, might be: Death of hybrid. This is short-term thinking... — read more 

We're losing too many good employees

Too many people with experience and valuable knowledge are going to our competition because they're getting better offers. I'm yet to hear about any of them getting a counteroffer once they give their notice. Does this leadership really think we can... — read more 

Transform To Lose

2020 was the year that destroyed Chevron. The cuts were far too deep and destructive. I don't think MW has learned from that. You can layoff to win!

Say bye to hybrid?

With all the blood baths today I cannot help but think hybrid is gone. I know many hate RM but she did give us hybrid. Now she is gone so MW and MN arent gonna take it.

Bad numbers today

We can celebrate people in leadership being punished all we want. But we know we are going to pay the price for all bad decisions and incompetent management. Reorg, layoffs and other cost cutting which will impact us are coming. And we can only... — read more 

Time for MW to go!

Hes destroyed chevron with all his extreme cuts and layoff obsession. Need someone with a heart as CEO if that exists now days!

RM to the history trash bin

Finally, some common sense prevails. Unfortunately, this realization comes a bit too late, but better late than never. The destruction caused by RM incompetence and social engineering agenda is irreversible, and it will take decades to recover, if... — read more 

A Bit of Good News

On a day like today, let’s celebrate this bit of good news: we are finally getting rid of our Oprah wannabe

MW feeling the heat?

With the sudden “retirements”, move, etc seems like maybe the board told Mikey to get his act together…DO BETTER

Houston

People from Houston, what do you like and dislike about living there. Let's say I have to move there from NorCal, what would you tell me.

Another Downstreamer in charge of Upstream

I know he’s just there to swing the Axe for Mike, but still need to run the business in the meantime in what needs to be a critical time for exploration success. Can’t have anymore short term margins thinking.

Major Question

What will MW do with his prized California boxed seats? Will he still use them or use the boxes in Houston? He won't be able to give up luxury.

Earnings call

What a disaster performance, ExxonMobil earning is up 17% and we are down, that sets the stage for yet another horrible CIP and justification on another huge re-org and layoffs. Good luck to all, it is always working bees that will be thrown under... — read more 

Will xom buy cvx

These announcements show how bad our executives are and the pool of future executive candidates... we are in a real trouble.

Scrum Master Layoff

In IT scrum masters are being laid off. Anyone know if that effect blue badge scrum masters? Are they being replaced with overseas labor?

The problem with manilla and india

The problem I've seen with India contractors and our own manilla engineers is maybe 20% are good and the rest are terrible. All their work has to be redone correctly and not really sure what they are contributing. How long will it take for them to... — read more 

San Ramon HQ Getting Axed

How many of you are impacted by the decision that's coming out soon around San Ramon HQ moving to Houston? How many of you will not get severance packages for choosing not to take your role in Houston? How many of you will move...? It was a good run... — read more 

Offshoring nearshoring layoffs

I've heard people say all IT and other jobs will eventually be in manilla, ba, and india. Just trying to determine if there's still at least some hope of having a job hear in ten years considering they are pumping money into the Houston offices to... — read more 

I no longer recommend Chevron as a good place to work

I stopped a while ago. I know there are plenty of those who disagree with me, but I've been here for several decades and I've seen with my own eyes how much working conditions, culture, and work environment deteriorated over the years. I can't wait... — read more
