The BUs are being asked to slash operating expenses while the oil price is high and company is generally performing well. While CNE and Central orgs are spending like mad on perks: free breakfast/lunch, coffee barista and mock cocktails in the... — read more 

The morale is at the bottom right now

We are making a lot of money yet employees are getting squeezed left and right. With high oil profits layoffs should not remotely be talked about. The executives get paid big money yet the employees keep suffering. Things are falling apart her fast... — read more

A Layoff Too Far?

Was the Transformation that has broken Chevron? People reminisce about the good days before the times now. Did MW ask for one too many layoffs and got more than he expected in the dysfunction thats going on now? Will more layoffs be the companies... — read more

Horrible industry

Horrible industry. No company loyalty. Not a lot of good bo-m cycles left. The industry is not going away but the “ways” of the US majors in the last 10-15 years will. 20 years ago the ways were different they wanted people to make decisions and play... — read more

Great CTC

Joined CTC for a month. I cannot believe the level of competition, backstabbing, wasted effort and time for funding, recognition, visibility among chapters within the same department. Everyone is doing 10% on useful stuff and 90% on useless stuff... — read more

$68 M and $35 M

That’s what MW made in 2021 and 2022. Remember that when you have PMP, CIP, and pay discussions in the next few months.

Latest Rumors - Go!

I’ll start - heard fewer promotions this year and a reduced salary adjustment pool.

ROMs going on?

Are there ROMs going on in specific BUs right now? Management keeps saying no company wide layoffs but reading between the lines there will be layoffs in some groups. Anyone have news that management is hiding amongst the corporate talk?

Permian collapse

Chevron quietly increased Permian spending by one billion dollars (25%) to meet production targets and over come "well productivity issues". Do the math.

Strike in Australia

Looks like Chevron in Australia is going on Strike. The employees are starting to get tired of the lack of care for the employees world wide. MW needs to wake up and start treating people decently. He needs a paycut.

Will management truly address low morale?

Morale is the lowest I've seen in my many years here. People are waiting for the next layoff since job security is all gone. In the townhall they seemed to imply coming into the office will fix the stress and morale. That will only further cause... — read more 

Closeout PMP time is upon us?

My boss says her travel and vacation schedule will be hectic this fall and we should schedule our final PMP closeout in the next two weeks. Is this normal? Holy cow.

Focus on layoffs

The question about when is the next layoff coming is asked in most of the townhalls. Employees are constantly watching for when the next layoff is and that's terrible for morale and productivity. Since the morale has dropped we've seen more safety... — read more

Layoffs in CTC?

Based on what MW said in the townhall it seems like he's coming after IT again to cut costs. We are already extremely lean in IT as it is.

Travel Cuts

We saw some meetings being switched to virtual just within the past 10 days and now MW is asking us to not travel. Here we go again.

Intense Cost Cutting

It seems like Chevron maxed out the credit card on extreme dividends and the employees are being punished for it. Morale continues to be bad!

The Townhall

Will MW address the intense budget cuts going on? Will he announce some kind of nice sounding initiative like "Transform to the Max, Give people permanent vacation without pay"? Will he address the brutal morale?
