How we keep hiring in flashy new areas while cutting basic tools we rely on every day? It makes no sense and the teams that keeps this place running feel constantly undermined. A lot of people are openly frustrated because the decisions seem driven... — read more
Worst CIO
How did we get the worst CIO in not only out industry, but in the country? A used car salesman would do a better job. At least he might have a shot at convincing us of the lies being told. He must have wrecked GM IT. He makes BB look like a super... — read more
Benchmarking the leaders?
Since we benchmark everything else, why don’t we benchmark our leaders as well? If we had, we likely wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in today.
Toxic Mike
It is astonishing how far Chevron has fallen under MW. The culture is absolutely toxic. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing what ive done to so many people, but then again I still have a soul. LC is almost worse than MW as he not only... — read more
Stop the BS
L3s and the rest of the C level just need to stop with the BS. Just say you are coming in the office, that's it, if you want to get a paycheck get your A$$ in the office. This fake caring how we feel or how we work is more annoying than anything. We... — read more
It's not over
Just when all thought waves 1 and 2 are done, and we are told to get on with it, it is not done. MK & big consultants are waving their magic wands to move more jobs to Engine. More announcements coming soon

Quiet Layoffs
Those in management circles what are you hearing about the quiet layoffs going on? Management seems intent on making things so bad for employees with the wirthless 4 days in office, benefits cuts and sheer arrogance from leaders. This American... — read more
Hasta la vista Argentina !
2026 Capex allocations are now of public domain. Absolute zero reference of Argentina, which can be interpreted in 2 ways: next divestiture candidate idling at minimum for the next few years until the Permian peaks and start to decline. Curious... — read more
Unassigned seating - TLDR: If you’re in a 2 hour+ meeting you should give up your space so someone else can sit at the desk.
That’s pretty much it. What a joke.
IT Holiday Party
How was the party? Did anyone show up? Did LC pat himself on the back for being so great like in the town hall?
PMPs are worthless
Had my PMP this morning, and my supervisor confided that he felt I deserved 2 EEs, but that he’s discouraged from giving 2. When I asked what i could do next year to improve my odds, he said nothing, that’s it’s essentially not allowed. Welcome to... — read more
Chevron has become a job hopping company only
Chevron is a great company to work for if you want to impress others with your résumé. Do not work for Chevron if you want job satisfaction. You are not a human. You are just a number and you are disposable when they want to pay the stockholders... — read more

What are your ratings this year?
Digital Core
Honestly, who are these supposed ‘professionals’ working on the SAP projects? It’s the same bunch who managed to turn all ERP projects into a complete shambles, isn’t it? Quite remarkable, really — not a shred of backbone among them. As for... — read more
ABU TOWN HALL- comments, questions, review
I will start. What do you want to know/hear? Engine? CIP? Next cull?
Your chance to vent, maybe we’ll get to see the real CES results this way

Taking an MW
Like others I dont give an MW about Chevron anymore. Taking an MW in the nasty restrooms in 1500 is more productive than anything else now days...
Have to let go. Can’t care and survive.
At this point CV is polished, will bide my time. Still putting in work but only until something that looks better comes up. Thankful to be on the ship but this place has given and taken so much, the new lack of leadership is literally ki-ling me... — read more

Anyone know what the criteria was to determine the automatic lists of people eligible for promotions this year?
How many do you think are moving to Houston, TX from California?
How many do you think are moving to Houston, TX from California? I know of a few people that are g concerned regarding selling their house in the Danville,CA area. This is a tough market to sell a house. I took the package and I am... — read more
Guessed on CIP and Structural increase?
What's everyone's guesses on this? Do you think anyone is getting anything bigger than the structure raise?
HMP - unassigned seating fails
ABU was among the first business units to move toward modernization and, in the process, implemented unassigned seating. The experiment failed spectacularly, creating widespread frustration and ultimately forcing a reversal back to assigned... — read more
Indian office benefits >> US Office Benefits
Chevron India is offering their people 2x days a week in the office. I just heard that they plan to keep these, even as US Payroll are being forced to work 4x days a week in office. So much for "better together" ... personally, if the I'm going... — read more
TAMU Lost - Time for a Wells Leadership Change?
Just saying…
Pension funds
Has anyone received there Pension?
Today, I'm thankful I work at Chevron
It's not the best, but it's better than many other companies. With the job market in the state it is, just having a job is a big deal. So Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
End of an Era - ABU IT
Today, the last few remaining engineers in ABU IT were stood down, following the end of their transition roles. This brings to an end a horribly protracted period of uncertainty that started early in 2024 with McKinsey moving into 1TE to try and... — read more
Useless people keep surviving layoffs
It’s frustrating to watch the same underperformers stay while anyone competent gets pushed out. If we actually kept our best people, constant cuts wouldn’t even be necessary.
Modern Workspace
So the only groups that get to continue working in 1:1 flex offices are the people who made the decision to turn 1500 into a watered-down version of a college library (the Implementation team) and the reorg henchmen in HR. How poetic. Because no one... — read more
Game Plan!
I was in MW's office and got a glimpse of his game plan going forward to grow the dividend and profits for the company. Its a truly innovative list that we should be proud of! Here is what I saw! Layoffs Make employees miserable Cut... — read more
Worst YTD performance
Chevron has delivered the worst stock performance of the year among all major oil companies. It’s obvious that Wall Street simply isn’t buying the story. No matter how desperate the ELT appears when communicating their strategy, they clearly no... — read more
Is everyone activated yet?
How are your implementation teams going? Talk about useless overhead. The cuts happened, reorg is done. People can figure out how to work again without you working with McKinsey on creating 1000 slides that no one will ever read again. How many... — read more
RTO
I have it on good authority: the plan is first 4 days in unassigned seating, then 5 days. If you don't like it, you'll be asked to leave (as stated in recent townhalls)
A Turning Point for Chevron’s Exploration Division

CRE Unassigned seating for IT office hours
“Many of you have embraced this approach.” Wtf they’re insane that’s like saying MW cured cancer. Rubbish. name one fool who embraces it
Stability
Is anyone in the company in an area where there isn't chaos and lack of planning? This re-org has been terrible. There is no way MW should still be CEO
Transitional employees left in the lurch
Former Hessie in transitional role. It's been 7 weeks and we are abandoned in the Hess building incommunicado. Not a one of us has been contacted by our new CVX managers. Logging on while collecting a paycheck just in case. 👀 I spoke with some CVX... — read more
