1.5 is nice and all but…

We went from the "Chevron way" to "My way" with MW
After watching what he did to Downstream, everyone knew that when MW was promoted to CEO, Chevron was going to be a lot less fun to work for. The cost-cutting and the consolidation we could put up with, what no one predicted was how he completely... — read more

R&A system is terrible

Myanmar exit
After decades strongly supporting a very corrupt govt, Chevron is bailing out now only to avoid the embarrassment of being one-upped by Total who are typically the least sensitive IOC. I imagine Bangladesh will the next at some point.
Future of the Oil Industry
The price of oil is at a seven year high and keeps going up. One would think that is great for the oil industry and it is. However, the political climate has changed that want the world to transition to "Green Energy". One of the requirements for... — read more

They don't care at all what employees think
I used to think that Chevron cared about what employees thought about this company, but now I think that it doesn't matter to anyone anymore. Nobody seems to care about the reputation of this company anymore. Perhaps I'm wrong?

We need to go fully remote
Why can’t Chevron delay indefinitely like other big companies such as Apple and Expedia? They need to just cut everyone out of their misery and try to retain talent by being going fully remote. Imagine what a great morale booster for their team if... — read more
