Is Chevron really freezing raises?

Is Chevron really freezing raises [not receiving for 2025 performance] or will we find something out this year during goal setting for the 2026 performance year? I hope this is just a nasty rumor - throwing it out here for serious replies.

And yes… mgmt is making it difficult for people to continue to love the chevron they joined years ago - we can’t change that.


Unionize in Home & Community / navihealth /Optum

Many nurses and therapists working in Home and Community care have seen their roles change significantly over the past several years, especially since the buy out of naviHealth within care coordination roles - consisting of OTs/PTs/SLPs/RNs. Productivity goals have increased to a point that is unattainable due to increased demands/goals/administrative tasks within paid working hours.

At the same time, raises have failed to keep pace with inflation, effectively reducing real wages despite growing workloads and responsibilities. Raises have fallen well behind inflation, effectively resulting in pay cuts for experienced clinicians who are carrying heavier caseloads and greater responsibility than ever before. For a workforce that is highly trained, licensed, and essential to patient outcomes, this trend is deeply concerning. These challenges are not isolated—they are systemic. Raises are consistently 1-2%, with 2% being a rarity.

These issues are not isolated to individual teams or regions. When issues are systemic, individual advocacy has limits.

This raises an important question: Is it time for nurses and therapists in the Home and Community line of business to unionize? And if so, has anyone considered leading this effort?


Literally 0 benefit going beyond bare minimum

Guys don’t work after 4-5, don’t go in early, don’t give up nights with your family, don’t respond to emails outside of work hours, don’t be proactive. Can’t tell you how much I have given up for this company over the last few years and what is there to show for it? No hope for promotion, 1% raises, took away my bonus, reduced 401k all for leaders to tell me I should be grateful I have a job. Sorta falls on deaf ears when your compensation is going up and ours is going down. All that to say, do the bare minimum guys, this company will not reward you for your efforts. On the contrary you’ll probably get laid off.


Why the fu-k bother working hard anymore?

Used to grind: stay late, extra projects, crush it. Reward? Emoji thumbs-up, 2% raise (lol inflation), then piled with more work.
Meanwhile minimum-effort crew dips at 5 and skates by fine.
Loyalty’s a one-way scam; hard work = free labor.
Fu-k going above and beyond. Act your wage, do the bare minimum, guard your sanity.
Who else quit hustling and started coasting?


Review Process Corporate

I just need to blow off some steam. Anyone else think the review process is fu--ing stupid? I’m so tired of it. Every year, EVERY YEAR, they change the god damn format and make it more difficult than the year before. They move the goalposts on our evaluations so we receive the bare minimum increase on top of our bonuses. I’m tired of being held responsible for things that are outside of the responsibilities of my position. It’s bullsh-t. I’ve submitted my review twice now only for it to be sent back bc I was missing some things. No explanation, no direction. Just forwarded emails. The review process in this organization is fu--ing stupid and ridiculous and honestly? They don’t even look at them. They just want them completed so they can sign off on them. I know this to be true bc I’ve used the same verbiage in my personal comments for years now. They don’t look. They only care about paying the least they can pay. These reviews are a fu--ing headache.


Merit raises are right around the corner!

I can't wait to see what my rating is, and I really look forward to waiting till July to get my increase. It is fun waiting and getting another opportunity to have a second touch point with my boss instead of getting my raise at the beginning of the year.


Does anyone believe their division head has pushed for higher raises for the staff?

Does anyone believe their division head pushed RV and the executive committee to provide higher raises this year? No need to name the division head, just name the division. It will be interesting to see if anyone believes their division head pushed for higher raises.


Just an FYI

Raises don’t save you from layoffs. I got a raise a few months before getting laid off and I was certain I was safe because of it. I mean, they gave me a nice raise, that must mean they value me as an employee and will make sure to keep me, right? Wrong. In the end, it didn’t change a thing. Just so you know.


Raise without promotion?

I've worked and pushed extra hard for my in-seat promotion all year, after years on team and at same low C-level trying to get my AVP which I see as finally earning your stripes within Citi.

I've done pretty well with raises the past couple years and pretty sure I've got to be maxing out my salary in the undisclosed 'salary band(s)'. Been getting signals that it's looking pretty positive for this new year also, but no sign or mention of promo.

Is it possible to be earning within the next band without the badge?


If you are young person, you need to look externally

Older folks can try to ride it out. But if you are younger person you need to look externally for opportunities. Going from 4.5 to 3.5 % is a ~23% cut on 401k match, plus any lost compound interest. Also factor in medical premium increases for next year. Your financial position is now worse, it doesn't make financial sense to continue here (which is obviously what they want so they have to pay less severance). Yea the job market is tight and not everyone can find another job, but financially, you owe it to yourself to look around as you are doing same work for less $. I am not even going to get into bonus and raises because we all know that will be close to 0.


Watching all the good people leave

It's getting pretty empty around here lately. Several of the sharpest people on my team just left for much better offers. And if they managed to get better offers in this job market, you know they're good. It's frustrating because a simple, competitive raise probably would have kept them. But I guess that kind of forward thinking is asking too much from this place.
