Happy World Mental Health Day!

Next year bonus
Hi everyone, Quick question, does anyone know if someone who leaves Chevron this coming November would still be eligible to receive the bonus payout in March 2026? I've been with the company for over five years. Thanks in advance!
Trust and Morale
MW did not answer how he's going to try to win back the employees who have absolutely no trust in him and any of the leadership at Chevron. Morale is at the worst its ever been. The RTO mandate does nothing to help this either and comments that we... — read more
I don’t work for MW. I work for a higher purpose.
We can’t control who leads Chevron. What we can control is our attitude about our sphere of influence. Nothing you do to improve your skills or deliver results is without merit. At the end of the day you work to provide and honor the one that has... — read more
This isn’t a reorg - it’s a corporate demolition
Tearing this bi--h down to the studs ya’ll. It ain’t the company it was 5 years ago. He-l, it’s not the company it was 5 months ago. Welcome to the soulless corporate su-k.
California refineries
Due to the fire at el segundo and the move from San ramon, does it look like we will be shutdown? MW seems to be wanting to sell assets. Is Richmond and El Segundo for sale? After the waves it feels like a lot of folks lost their jobs in... — read more
Big changes for anyone using the Chevron Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Plan
For those that use or have family members that use the Chevron Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Plan be aware that it is being discontinued as of January 1st, 2026. In the announcement, individuals that regularly use these services are... — read more
Wow
I was coming on here to vent but I see that the current employees are doing a better job at the hatred and digs. I actually feel sorry for everyone - and I mean everyone. This is sad, pathetic and a waste of my time and energy. Good luck to... — read more
Our Workforce… the very best in the industry…. Does he hear himself?
In today’s SETH opening remarks, MW’s finished talking about all the great work underway by saying that “what underpins all of this is our culture and workforce, the very best in our industry, and I wouldn’t trade them for anybody else’s.” When he... — read more
CES is no longer required

The only competency our current execs have: SELL ASSETS
And even that is poorly executed.
EXPLORATION ENDS..... LIZ RETIRES......
Liz is retiring from Chevron, and the Earth itself may need a moment to recalibrate. After 36 years of finding oil in places most people wouldn’t even vacation, she’s finally trading seismic data for actual peace and quiet. Somewhere, a basin is... — read more
Apathy, the new Chevron Way
We are so numb to constant changes (always for the worse) that the workforce no longer cares. Enough with these nonsense townhalls. Let us just collect our paychecks and spend as much time caring about Chevron as the Chevron leaders care about us.
No more town halls, please
Thank you. We don’t need performative corporate cr-p when our livelihoods are on the line.
Lack of in person questions
MW was definitely sweating it out up there. Almost no in person questions cause no one cares any longer.
What is our strategy? Like, actually?
LL must’ve asked Mike this question at least three times; each time he gave a garbled 3-minute response with no clear message. Something about being safe and selling assets was mentioned. How revolutionary. “Doing better”. Idk. If our leader can’t... — read more
What was the point of this
A 1 hour nothing-burger. How much money did we waste in employee salary hours viewing this town hall? $2 million? This could have been an email.
Leaner Meaner
MW: “the puff piece i commissioned in the wsj was supposed to be bait for investors, but exposed how unselfaware we are. I don’t accept responsibility for the second part, because at Chevron LT accountability is not a core value” Get fu---d you gas... — read more
why do we reorg when nothing actually changes for the better??
I’ve only been here 5 years. I work directly with/answer to people who have — wait for it — never worked ANYWHERE else and they’re 25+ years deep and when I tell you it’s nearly impossible to get them to evolve into a space that ACTUALLY eliminates... — read more
We need a drinking game to go with this
Any suggestions?
SETH
Let the gaslighting begin
MW: culture is hard to build, but look how fast I destroyed it
Who’s excited to get lectured for the next hour
SETH
Its funny that the definition of SETH in mythology is this: In mythology, Seth (also spelled Set) is a prominent deity from ancient Egyptian mythology. He is a complex figure associated with chaos, storms, deserts, and violence Its exactly what MW... — read more
Feedback used to matter
These days, I swear telling someone your thoughts is like yelling into a canyon. Nothing happens, nothing ever changes, even if it's something that could help significantly speed up things. There's no point in trying anymore. It’s easier to nod and... — read more
Retiree Humankind Limit Slashed 30%
For decades, retirees had a pathetic $3,000 Humankind company match. Now it is suddenly dropped to $2,000. Successful companies actually increase these figures over time. Exxon and Conoco match $5,000, Shell $5,500. Yet another benefit reduction by... — read more
Chevron’s HSE: From Industry Leader to Corporate Afterthought
For full disclosure, I am a white male that got let go earlier this year after 20 years with the company and yes, chatgpt helped rewrite my rant in the following professional manner. Chevron’s Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) organization was... — read more
Oh my god, 3 more years of this loser!!!
Wirth now has three priorities. First, complete the restructuring and rebuilding of Chevron's corporate culture; second, integrate Hess; and third, extend the concession to develop the giant Tengiz oil field in Kazakhstan, which expires in 2033. The... — read more
Good WSJ Article today on retaining Employees
Want to Keep Your Best Employees? Workplace Culture Matters Yes, compensation is important, according to research. But ignore employee engagement at your peril. By Rick Wartzman and Kelly Ta-g Oct. 7, 2025 1:00 pm ET
MW is a lame duck, who’s next?
MW has lost the locker room and fans have zero confidence in him. Who is up next?
Layoff envy
I couldn’t sleep all night last night as I realized the lucky ones just got laid off with nice, little severance packages. I can’t do all this work alone on my team. I have no chance of job satisfaction with looming layoffs in the future. I’ve been... — read more
A Culture in Crisis: When Ethics Take a Back Sea
It’s disappointing to see how deeply unethical behavior has become normalized in certain parts of Corporate Affairs. The HRBP who should be a neutral advocate for employees has instead chosen to protect friends, silence those who report harassment... — read more
Bang on accurate news
On exploration leadership. Thanks for the contribution here.
Severance
Has anyone (let go in early August) actually gotten their severance checks yet? Something seems really off. The people I know who also got laid off haven't received their checks yet either.
One company’s trash is another’s treasure
Rumor mill coming from Shell that you hired one of ours made redundant to join your leadership ranks.
Chevron Colorado Pipeline for sale
Who’s going to buy it? Report from Reuters.
Chevron used to be a great company
One of the best. The speed at which we managed to go from there to near the bottom is astounding and should be studied in schools as an example of what lousy leadership can do to a great company.
ELT
Does ELT know how much their employees despise them or are they kept in the dark by the boot lickers below them? The BOD needs to realize how much of a failure they are and how they have completely lost their employees and fire them all.
A word to the wise is sufficient
Listen up. If you’re looking to get a job with Chevron anywhere, please do not be fooled. Chevron is building their ENGINE facilities in India and has no intention of taking care of their American workers who have built the company. Hey, I get it…... — read more
