When I look at my 401k in my online Fidelity profile, I see another entry for "Chevron Retirement Restoration Account" with a nice chunk of change. What is this? How did I get it? Can I manage how the money is invested? How is it taxed?

I'm tired of playing the game
I believe it's not particularly different in other big companies in the industry, but I'm really tired of constantly playing the game. I don't mean climbing the corporate ladder, I'm just talking about making sure that the company doesn't squeeze... — read more

Are new hires getting paid more than existing employees?
Some say yes and I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone who was just hired earns more than an employee who has been loyal and dedicated to Chevron for years. However, I still refuse to believe that this is true... Perhaps it's true for very rare... — read more
Is anybody else constantly getting more work added to their plate?
I like my job and I’d like to continue doing it, I just don’t know how much more I can handle thrown my way. I understand people are leaving but why exactly is Chevron not backfilling? We sure as he-l can afford to make competitive offers to new... — read more

GOM reorg
The factory model is progressing in sprints and there is now talk of how the org looks to support this new model. The question is how long it takes for Chevron to execute this. Any thoughts?
Chevron is not a good employer
I don't care what some of the posters say, this company sucks. The only way I would consider it a good employer is if you only took into consideration the pay and ignored everything else. However, I can't ignore the toxic culture, expectations to do... — read more

Lump vs Annuity
When interest rates were 2% it was obvious that the lump was a much better deal than the annuity, but now with interest rates rising I would guess that at some point the annuity might actually become more attractive (this assuming that high interest... — read more
I will not move from San Ramon to Houston
If they try to force us to move to Houston, I will find another job. Working for Chevron is pretty good, but it’s not worth moving to Houston to keep my job!

Any thoughts on today's townhall and leadership responses?
Heads if you are planning to retire
Health benefits are brutal. Obama’s health care plan was a complete lie that you would not pay more than $2500 a year. This year open enrollment for Kaiser CA is $1200 a month for two. Anthem Blue Cross is a $1000. Better to stay healthy and put the... — read more

Can we talk???
Beyond words. A CVX talk show? What in the actual _ _ _ _? I can only hope that at some point she’ll offer the Jerry Springer edition of this drivel, because that would at least be entertaining.
How busy are you?
Let's have a discussion about this. Are there really so many people who do double workloads or do most of us do nothing more than the necessary minimum?

The fed is expected to raise the interest rates tomorrow, will thay cause more attrition and early retirement or those who wanted to leave have already left the ship?
Alaska kaput
Another fire sale - news says all Unocal properties in Alaska are on the chopping block.
How did the manager react when you quit?
I really don't know what kind of employee is "good enough" for Chevron, since even stellar employees are constantly criticized here. No matter how productive you are, you will be required to be even more productive. And then the management is... — read more
Stop shaming people for doing their work
Workers aren't "quiet quitting." They're refusing to be exploited for their labor. And they're flexing their muscles for the first time in decades. This is exactly what's been happening and it has been a joy to watch for this old-timer right here... — read more
Are you satisfied with the current benefits Chevron offers?

Chevron Is Using Captain Planet and Batman Returns to Deflect Blame for Its Climate Denial
At first I thought this was a joke. It's not. Some of the pop culture references contained in the brief are... pretty wild. There’s a cultural reference here for everyone. Did you like reading Calvin and Hobbes? There was a 1987 strip about... — read more

Hearing that we will merge with exxon soon, the discussions have been restarted from what I hear. If this happens who will stay and who will go? I know exxon is h3llbent in their ways and will not want to close their woodlands campus
Layoff rumors?
With our past experience of our upper management seemingly being obsessed with having layoffs every few years we have to think they are cooking something up. They have no regard for the average employee, so even though they have already put us... — read more
MW’s take on inflation ages worse and worse
