What a joke.
Giving grace
I know a lot of employees are rightfully frustrated with the stress-induced layoffs over the last few years. The truth is that management is honestly listening and trying to do its part to make things better. One of the behaviors that can cascade... — read more
Heart to Heart
Hey MW and Executive Leadership, Man up and address the turmoil and stress you all have caused the company since 2020. Employees are exhausted and morale has hit rock bottom and is still trying to dig lower. Bring some kind of positivity for... — read more
Law function challenge
We have too many in-house counsels and law function leaders. I have seen 2-3 in house counsels in some internal meetings. They are tripping over themselves! The function overall and within business lines has put in place “zipper model” org charts to... — read more
9000 layoffs?
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Oil-and-Gas-Employment-Hits-a-2026-Low-Even-as-Production-Sets-Records.html When did they announce these 9000 layoffs? Where are they? Nothing is mentioned in the meetings they have. Good luck to those... — read more
My manager acted like I personally offended him after I quit
Didn't speak to me for the entire 10 business days. I already knew I made the right decision to leave, but that just cemented it. Been away for two months and never been happier. Folks, there are places with normal managers and better culture if... — read more
This is the minor league
Chevron keeps average players. To compare Chevron to a real company almost made me fall off my chair. You are a minor league company at best ....comparing the business practices of blue chip companies. You are fortunate that Chevron has no spine to... — read more
Kazakhstan Oil Shipments from Black Sea Port stopped due to drones.
Chevron continues to monitor.....
IT Attrition
What do the Attrition metrics for IT look like? I know its by design to get rid of Americans, but it seems much worse than anything ive seen.
SETH
Are we submitting questions or assuming that even with the format pivot we aren’t going to get real, honest answers to questions. Personally, I hope people submit their toughest questions and demand accountability from MKW. It’s been a sh*t couple... — read more
2028 or bust?
A common plan within the ABU is to just wait until 2028. Is it certain that's the next big reorg or can we hope for smaller changes before then?
TPE convo with RB
Best part of the call “is this recorded?” 😜
I've already made the decision that I'm leaving Chevron
The only question is how. I'm still here because I'm waiting to see if I can get laid off with a severance package. I don't want to quit and then find out I could have gotten something if I'd just waited a little longer.
New Leadership
When are we going to be rid of this terrible regime? Any light at all at the end of the tunnel?
CHEVRON WAY
Refine 360,000 barrels and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter, don't you calI me 'cause I gotta stay, have to give another day for the Chevron Way.
I will miss The Goalpost
I think The Goalpost was a really cool idea. It was fun to watch a game with your colleagues on a large screen. This was a great idea corporate had. I will miss it.
How’d you like the Info and Insights meeting?
Ready for the changes?
Chevron Stories
The rain didn't just fall in Houston; it came down like a personal insult, slicking the concrete of the Chevron headquarters with a greasy, iridescent sheen. Down in the lobby, the brass logo gleamed dull and indifferent under the fluorescent hum, a... — read more

I’m still going to hit that elevator button 9 times. Don’t care how many emails they send. IDGAF
SETH
Another shared energy town hall is coming up. Will they remotely mention the employee survey and how miserable everyone is right now?
Technical staff bonus?
Coming over from Oxy board to check here.. People claim that you’re giving technical staff a bonus for retention. Is this true?
When you give resignation notice, do they let you go immediately?
How much notice do you give for resignation? Will they let you go immediately? I want to give my manager notice but I’m afraid he’ll let me go immediately. How have you seen this handled? I am not seeking employment elsewhere.
Energy Tailgate
This new energy tailgate podcast has to be the most comical thing I have seen come out of this leadership team. It’s so bad and embarrassing as an employee.
Business Planning
Who else is enjoying this revamped Bp process as much as I am? It’s so clear and efficient and instills confidence in the direction this company is headed.

Money doesnt buy a personality
Fun fact before I forget visiting this site (got a better job elsewhere); my friend did high end catering in San Ramon area. He did a private house and told me “hey buddy, I think I did an event for your company”. Sure enough I opened website to... — read more

A warning for anyone considering Chevron
I want to say something that might help someone avoid the mistake I made. I bought into all the hype about how great this company was, how it looked amazing on a resume, how lucky I was to be here. Friends and family reinforced that constantly. So... — read more
Law function layoffs
Why is Law experiencing another round of layoffs in 2026 after a previous round in 2025? Why do our leaders continue to demoralize?
Venture Global XOM next purchase. CVX should preempt and make it competitive
Lessons learned from Hormuz conflict is that XOM needs secure LNG and Venture Global is the perfect fit. XOM was slow in January of 2026 where it could have bought it cheap…and most likely paid it off in short term
Open office a place holder for final re-organization?
Like many I am very frustrated by the hunt for a landing spot every morning, and all the noise and confusion that goes with it. Will we get offices again after the reorganization is finalized. That is, is this $hit$how just a holding pattern or is it... — read more
Ex Hess now Chevron survivors please share experiences with Oxy before the big consolidation
Ex Hess now Chevron employees please share with Oxy employees what to expect once CVX purchases Oxy. Any insight on who to outlast and survive?
2020
Was the last year I think the company was a decent place to work IMO. Do y'all agree?
Elevators
I hit the button 9 times just to get an elevator car to myself.. I mean, it takes 10 mins to show up so might as well!
Should Chevron purchase Oxy? Berkshire Hathaway thinks so…
Lots of murmurs from Oxy HQ as to direction and the possibility of some form of consolidation into the CVX umbrella. Berkshire recommends that this transaction occur before 2026 Midterms so there are no regulatory hiccups. What do the CVX veterans... — read more
HMP basically ki-led — props to RB for actually listening to the CES Survey
Just wanted to add my voice here. A lot of the other posts on this board were true. On the positive side, big credit to RB and management for actually listening to the CES Survey and making some real changes. That doesn’t happen often, so it’s worth... — read more
Not Wirth Discussing
Inclusion Summit.
Oxy paid Petro Technicals a very generous bonus! Any chance CVX is still interested?
Why would Oxy pay its Petro Technicals a very generous one time bonus unrelated to yearly goals or performance. Some top onshore and offshore engineers received +60,000 for their efforts.. Your opinions?
Elevators and shirts
I hereby nominate as tribute to the layoff gods... whoever is running the elevator project and whoever designed these stupid 250 shirts. by the gods!
3 days in office starting August?
I’ve been hearing rumors about a 3 days in-office requirement, with Mondays and Fridays remote. Any truth to that?
