That was fast. On another note, I can’t believe we paid over $3B for that business. It’s probably worth $500mm at most.

Google “Chevron Benefits” and navigate to the India section. You’ll see that employees there are offered the option to work from home on Mondays. When you compare this to the far more limited flexibility given to U.S. Payroll employees, it paints a... — read more

I was today years old when I learned there is such a thing as a layoff merch industry, and it's thriving. What the he-l? Why are people selling layoff shirts, jerseys, cups, and whatnot, and more importantly, why are people buying it? Somebody make... — read more

We are guiding for an additional billion in cost savings and EB said on the call it would come from the same structural changes (headcount) as the billion we hit this year. Exciting times!

Just curious.... What's your current retirement. I'm 50 and my 401k + Pension combined is $2M.... 18 years with CVX I would like to obtain more benchmarks. Feel free to share. TY

Spill the beans! What’s the new process going to look like?

New restructure key goal: Mentor ENGINE resources and get laid off! Thanks Uncle Chevron!

Anyone got their document pack yet? It’s been over a week since last pay check.

Anyone completed their pension rollover after being axed. I am wondering how long it takes to hit your IRA account after getting your notice that it is being rolled over?

Looks like they really are taking the training wheels off the managers and letting them manage a little. It's funny though to watch them try to continue all the garbage McK generated simply to have projects to charge time against. Maybe now they... — read more

1 Nov is here. Anyone got PSG promotion? Or are we now altogether moving to March?

Let’s start with the heart of it: their employees. Chevron loves to slap “safety first” on their ads, but the reality? It’s a revolving door of near-misses turning into nightmares. Just this year, in June 2025, their own CEO, Mike Wirth, had to send... — read more
