In the OPG townhall it was mentioned that in 2019 we were #1 and then after 2020 we dropped to where we are now. A good lesson that layoffs and all the constant change has crushed the business. Our current management strategy is try more of that with... — read more 

Makes any sense at this moment? You guys expect layoffs in the coming period? I lost a job in the industry last week, and am trying to figure out where to start looking. Thanks for any info/advice.

Let's go! Great music to start with. Good music to be laid off to.

Does anyone actually believe that? We definitely don’t.

They think too much of themselves and continue to waste BU time and resources. Zero accountability for BU success and use us as a science experiment. Chevron is probably better off letting go half of them so they cause less trouble for the... — read more

Any thoughts?

Who comes up with our ROM names? We had Transform to Win and now Leading Performance. I love the snazzy names that make me feel good as everyone is being let go!

Myself and a few others I know got sub 1% raises. Less than inflation increase. Isn’t there a 2-3% minimum?

When will layoffs begin for Leading Performance? Anyone have any idea how much the cut will be this time? Will this layoff allow is to Win in any environment?

how long does it take to move to the next PSG ? Is it true that if you hit the median salary range for a given PSG, there's really not much of an increment unless you move to a higher PSG?

Mike Wirth, this week in Bloomberg, “In 2023, Chevron produced more oil and natural gas than any year in our company’s history”. However, you, my fellow employees, got to do f$&@ing better because daddy wants a bigger yacht.

Does anyone have any insight on how the process goes down for someone under psg26 getting the extended Ltip? Just curious if there’s a certain percentage cap on who gets it and the approval process once a supervisor nominates someone.

If you were MW, what would you do to right the ship. Who would fire first? (Group, person, department) What would you buy? What would you sell? What’s one thing you’ll do to fix CVX

Does anyone have any trust left in our executive management? This is not the same company I hired onto 15 years ago. Its become a disgrace how its being run and how employees are being treated. Leading Performance = Transformation 2.0. So with the... — read more
