The company is hiring in offshore locations but not in onshore.
Townhalls are in India. PIP is in action with more to come.
Why are you training your replacements?
How do onshore employees see a future here? I’m not seeing it. Help me understand the logic to stay.

Why don't we swap out the executives to someone in India? why only outsource at lower levels?
AK talking about scaling AI from ideas to production was quite poor. Talking about it with the population at ENGINE is like the blind leading the blind.
“Always” having a human in the loop for ALL agents, even for little low risk scrips of code that we call agents. No wonder she’s building a kingdom in India. Let’s have thousands of people build “AI agents” that don’t work so you still need those thousands of people watching over those agents. What a home run hire for Chevron.
When r they closing the doors to the SR offices?
@a1
I understand how you feel. I not in that situation but I empathize with you. I hope things work out for you and you are not sacrificing more than what you gain.
@OP
"....the logic to stay..." is 1) the wages are good, 2) The pension is a plus, 3) other benefits are good too.
for people with 10+ years and 45+ years old the reason is pension
- many in the USA will never make it to retirement of 65.
for a horizons person, they should get their 5 years of work experience before they move but definitely plan to move on after Horizons is over.
The US economy is not expanding with new job positions, so many people are best to wait to move on.
a good guide in life is a book named, "Who moved my cheese?"
- simple and entertaining and can be read in 2 hours.
you will discover the mindset you have in the your view of change. I am the mouse that is always looking for his next cheese. I am never secure that my cheese will last forever, so I continue to look for new opportunities.
But I am not planning to leave Chevron until I am laid off because of my current requiremnts. Everyone should know their requirements before they make a decision to leave. I dislike this phrase from HR during the reorg cycles, but it is true, "Focus on what you can control."
you cannot control everything at work but you can start to look for a job and you can control your attitude to the situation you are in. That is the mouse I am in the book. Everyone should focus on their families and themselves at work. Leaving Chevron may be inevitable but plan and prepare. Things work out even when you are forced to make changes.
I have completely checked out.
@OP I’m starting to regret my decision to relocate for the company. I’m paying double the living costs- the rent and flights have gone up in price. I’m still making money but I’m missing out on life events at home. I know it takes time to adjust but this had better be worth it. Hoping the layoff rumors are not true or this would have been for nothing.
