I know there are so many Chevron fanboys here, but none of you can tell me in all honestly that this is the same company it was five years ago, not to mention a decade ago. The complete mistreatment of employees is a newer thing and it will cost the... — read more 

I’m in a meeting with 7 useless CTC members. They just dropped they’ll be raising rates. They’re now our most overpriced and least effective vendor. Don’t people realize we’re fleecing our core work here?

I haven't met a single person that sees any value in the 4 categories we have. It's so odd and weird. Since we need to get better at delivery something like this would be better no? Build Relationships: For leadership, this involves effectively... — read more

Where did the PMP post go? Censorship on this forum, you know someone’s watching it

I’m in ops, one of the more challenging roles in our BU. PSG in the realm of 22-23. Complete mixed bag of rankings: VC’s, EE and EM! Lol. I have no idea how to interpret these. As I said, our Team Lead roles responsibilities and pressure to perform... — read more 

Are we about to start the year with a round of layoffs? I do not like the rumors that have been circulating lately...

Only tiny % shows ou to office more than 1 day a week. To resolve that, we all got new badges that will easily be tracked by HR and supervisors so they can use it to check if you are at work or at a parlor chatting and mingling!

So MW has all his lackeys roll out bad news, and then he sends out today’s email filled with cope around how successful we are. It makes them look so disconnected. Perhaps an over correction? Notice not a single reference to the doom messaging that... — read more 

Does anyone think that the Hess buy may not happen?

With the new rating system there is no forced distribution. So is getting 1-2 EE’s the new 2? And then 3 EE’s would be like getting a 2+ in the old system? Etc.. I really don’t know what is normal

it seems contradictory to this site but Bill Braun said there is no layoff in IT! Can we trust his words?

who nominate and what is selection process

Is he humble or is that just an act?

Any info on what structure

Execs will keep their high bonus while we get laid off and sh!t on.

It seems layoffs are coming based on what was said. A lot of good questions asked. What are your thoughts around what was said?

I think the fact that I post this here and not on Workplace or some employee survey speaks volumes. For over 20+ years I have been married to Chevron, for better or worse. Honestly most of it, 99% of has been for better. We have not always agreed... — read more 

“Upstream spending in 2024 is expected to be about $14 billion….two-thirds for Permian shale … about 25 percent for Gulf of Mexico”. Wow, what will we do when west Texas is toast in the next five years?

The coordinated downvote activity has all of a sudden disappeared.

Todays DT&S Town hall announced a re-org. Question was asked about potential for headcount reductions. VP (CJ) answered vaguely enough to not confirm scope but stated it was likely. Good luck everyone. Let the 5 year cycle begin!

That is the best Chevron exploration can do this days, a step out from other companies exploration successes? Sort of sad really. There once was a day when we were exploration leaders.

Dear Downstreamers, What's going on with all the leadership changes at the refinery (won't name it)? Too many senior leaders have suddenly left this year with no notice? The latest one is a big surprise.

The only question left now is when will layoffs start, not if there will be layoffs. Well, that and how bad it will get.

We all saw PB's email. Are we seeing the fruits of Agile with these results? Is Agile to blame for not achieving top quartile performance?

Damage control?
