Been hearing that a PSG realignment is now onto voting from big Mike. What do you guys think? Should it be approved? Will this finally make us equal to our upstream and midstream folks?

Does anyone have any experience on working at Richmond CTC? How’s the morale and work life balance ?

Cracks are showing and people are stressed across the operations. Folks are working 6 days a week (sometimes more) and nights while other roles with similar or higher PSGs don’t have that pressure. We keep hearing leadership is aware but have yet to... — read more 

News today is a 70% reduction in our space and staff in San Ramone. ChevPark is ancient history. It will be renamed The Orchards because it was a bunch of pickle orchards originally. I guess Chevron Way will be renamed Dill Drive. No more... — read more 

Seems anything that is real but uncomfortable for the company is shut down on layoffs.com. Time to go elsewhere???

I'm less than thrilled that we're transitioning our Vanguard funds to BlackRock, who mandates the "current thing", aka ESG to companies their invested in, and overemphasizes ESG scores vs. profit in the funds they offer.

Mike Wirth gets a 10% raise: I guess his compensation does not depend on safety performance like the rest of us.

Saw this on TV this morning. Looks like another excuse to not work: "Bare Minimum Mondays" is a term that refers to employees doing the bare minimum amount of work necessary on Monday. This practice is often seen as a way to cope with work-related... — read more 

It's clear that Fad Surfing has had a huge negative impact on Chevron. From Safety, to Efficiency, down to our bottom line. Will we ever stop?

I heard Richmond refinery is bleeding talent due to the strike. Also, Rule 65 is coming for the refineries in the east bay area. Will richmond end up being sold to another company like Shell Martinez was sold to pbf? What will happen to the Richmond... — read more 

Given the high level of one-team behavior demonstrated by Chevron HR it’s only inevitable that our our stock price is about to skyrocket. The only question is how high?

CVX trading at $60 during the pandemic was unreasonable, but it is also irrational to pay more that $100 a share given Chevron’s annual gross profits. As the economy slows I expect Chevron to drop to a more reasonable valuation (maybe $70-90 per... — read more 

Anyone have news about a Thailand fatality?

I have only worked on MCP’s at this company and with that said I have only really been in GOM. I have noticed the project managers on these projects are 100% delusional. They truely believe they know what they are talking about even if they have no... — read more 

Just happened in Thailand. Time to bring back the Chevron Way!

Well, with all the mess in banking system, the WTI is well below $75 mark it was just a week ago. Get r3ady as things do not look promising anymore.

It’s been awhile now - how do we feel about the acquisition? My thoughts: shocked at the amount of wasted time on inward looking initiatives that are low value to actual work the promotion/PDC structure seems built to advance a chosen class, and... — read more 

Rumour has it the axe man is coming for the ABU...

What kind of pay would one receive at the GM / VP level? Are we talking $1mm for a GM? $2mm for VP? Most of these people seem to be living like b-ms if you ask me…

Why do we continue to support the American Petroleum Institute? They espouse such id--tic nonsense that makes the whole industry look stupid. Lately they have been railing against electric vehicles. Such fools. How much do we pay them every year?

Investor Day quietly skimmed over Anchor. Word on the street is problems on the Wells side. No big surprise there given the people involved.

Everyone is talking about the mouse wrigglers that make you look busy when you are not at your desk. Has anyone tried one with our system? Does it work well? Anyone detected by boss at all? Any tips to offer??

I noticed for PSG 22 the new ranges are: 128,400 - 160,500 - 192,600 What are the other new PSG ranges?

REG here but have upstream background at small independent. Am absolutely shocked by all the nonsense corporate and center initiatives I see taking away from focus on core business. Perhaps good intent but wow inefficiencies are insane because there... — read more 

Any updates on CEMREC?

Barton’s posted an article today noting that the pandemic has eased and stock buybacks are no longer a thing. Oil companies are measured by production. Ours is sagging while Exxons soars. Permian is to blame. We have nothing else in the hopper. Dark... — read more 

Nigel is sounding very CEOish. Can’t wait for him to run the company.

Last year many lives were lost. This year just started with the explosions in Kazakhstan RV and the loss of life. Will CVX stop milling people? Can RM and HR performance get finally reviewed and see how they drained the company from its critical... — read more 

Something about us has changed but I can't put a finger on it. Not so long ago we were among the best in preventing fatal accidents, and it seemed like we had a good feel for moves to make. Now it appears that we are among the worst and have lost... — read more 

Just curious hows the promotion frenquency within the company? Heard that some people stay on a grade for over 10 years! Anyone would like to share your promotion experience?

So people talk, of course... and it seems that the biggest beneficiaries of salary increases and the expanded LTIP are people who constantly post on Workplace, attend multiple D&I meetings every week, socialize (that is, suck up) with "mentors" at... — read more 

Those that got the expanded LTIP this year (obviously I wasn't one of them), how did it work? When do the RSU's vest? How many shares did you get? (% of salary?) Do dividends accrue? Tell all.

Format PSG, Salary %, CIP Amount Also anyone know what the floor was?

Anyone here ever been to Kazakhstan, working for TCO/Chevron? How is the work, co-workers, camps, etc? Most jobs look like 28/28 rotation. Pay looks good, weather looks cold.

Folks have been predicting peak oil since the 1960s, but new technology has always pushed the date back: secondary recovery, deepwater drilling technology, fracking, etc. In the last decade, however, conventional reserve replacement across the... — read more 

Bare Minimum Monday’ is the latest workplace trend hitting productivity The newest trend joining the likes of quiet quitting and resenteeism involves putting in just the bear minimum of effort on Mondays.

I'm a new cowboy at Chevron and was curious what it was last year? My man and I was hoping to get a decent amount to go on a men only cruise.

Any rumors of layoffs after a low and disappointing CIP? I know contractors are being let go throughout the organization.
