Pretty sad that a layoff site is Chevron's best source of information for those people who were not laid off. Even more sad is Chevron HR monitoring and trying to influence in a positive light when they have no light to shine. Is this not the... — read more

How’s it going for everyone? I ended with a mix of EE/VC. Can’t complain.

How many of 'em are B.S.? What exactly goes on "in the room?"

On average, US payroll employees cost CVX about $350,000 per year. So, every 3,000 or so layoffs saves $1 billion per year. That is a magic number in the company and for MW. Every initiative has to meet a billion dollar goal. Our entire global... — read more
