I regret not EOI’ing, can we change our mind before the selection meetings? - real question.

If MW and company want to continue destroying morale and this company then if anyone out there is still working hard for Chevron should stop now. Put in the bare minimum. If we have to go into the office 4 days a week, then no late night or early... — read more 

How is everyone feeling after posting or hitting EOI? Good? Regretful? Nervous?

Brent is down about 35% since April when the layoff plans were put in place. If I had to guess, more layoffs are going to be needed early 2026 unless prices recover.

What do we get at the end of this layoff, besides more work and a continued paycheck? Trust is broken. Some of us are feel like that's not worth it and can jump ship with or without a job lined up. Is someone going to try to throw a d-mb pizza party?... — read more 

I know I bring real value to the company, but it’s draining when leadership acts like it’s never enough. They lean on me whenever something important comes up, but when it’s time for recognition or rewards, suddenly I’m invisible. This has been going... — read more 

Hands up if you know this operating model will fail. It’s not even official and I can already see how short sighted some of the changes are.

How many and which jobs were protected/closed? Those folks must be hiding and lying to colleagues pretending they are going through the same thing and which jobs they’ve applied for. Why won’t they show us the full org and number of positions. But... — read more 

If you are in San Ramon, schedule time with your boss. They should have all the information now. Looks like no flying back and forth will be allowed. Houston is now home and the time in office will be monitored and working remotely from San Ramon... — read more 

MW has been making the circuits in the media trying to act like an American Hero. His legacy is already "The Layoff King". In one interview he said he wanted to be remembered for balancing priorities. He only balanced his own checkbook and sold the... — read more 

For some reason, the ELT has never concentrated on achieving true excellence in the fundamentals of the traditional oil and gas business. By that, I mean the essentials: negotiating contracts with governments, identifying and fixing the root causes... — read more 

Layoffs, announcements, anything?

Chevron was once a great company that valued loyalty, years of service and experience. Your 20+ years of service was looked at as an asset that would be rewarded by a career in which you could choose when to retire with dignity. No longer the case... — read more 

It is not worth it! I have seen professionals work until they died and what is the point of that? The stress will ki-l you. Take some time for yourself as you near your golden years. You will also have time to hone your investment skills and manage... — read more 

Lots of reductions in safety stuff. Seems scary? Is it a good thing?

Does anyone else feel like the company is turning a blind eye to safe work practices in order to save money and finish projects more quickly?

Source below: Layoffs are making news across industries, with oil and gas hit hardest. ConocoPhillips will cut up to 25% of its staff, about 3,250 jobs. Chevron is preparing to shed up to 9,000 positions this year. Oversupply and weak demand have... — read more 

I've been applying like crazy and I thought I had a job locked down after signing the offer, but the company just went silent during the background check. No updates, no responses, nothing. Now I'm left completely confused and stressed and feeling... — read more 

What percentage of subsurface is being cut? Hard to estimate as spread over multiple organisations (CNE, Exploration, Offshore, Subsurface etc..) Anyone have an estimate?

What happens between the 2nd and 15th? I believe that is when “selection meetings” begin? So that time in between? Nothing occurs? I’m quite sure advocates have been speaking with job owners during the entire process, especially when the jobs... — read more 

I just heard about the terrible accident in Portugal, and this line from the article struck me: “there's a lack of people with a good memory and who learned from their elders.' 'All of those people have left' I think this is very applicable to... — read more 

Oh, by the way, they offered more. Best of luck in India.

If I make it past this round, I plan to “quiet quit” (do the minimum) next 3-4 years and collect the package next layoff round. If this is how they treat us … this is what they will get. It’s a very rational decision on my part.

I really mean this folks. Look at our HSE LT. Look at the ETC LT. Can this be more of a joke? We have no professionals left. We have no one that has any substantive amount of time in the field. We just have nepotism, DEI and C-Suite best... — read more 

Why? It’s his 5th largest holding. I understand that he wants to diversify into the energy sector but why would he choose to invest in Chevron, as opposed to XOM?

I’m tired of seeing MW, LC, EB and whoever the name of the week is. They are just receiving orders from the real decision makers: https://www.chevron.com/who-we-are/leadership MW, LC, and EB at least have the ba--s to show their face when doing...

More or less of a dumpster fire now compared to twelve months ago? 🗑️ 🔥

Another MW Fluff piece. The guy says we do culture better than Exxon. The guy is wrecking our culture and made it a dreadful place to work! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/business/chevron-oil-mike-wirth.html

On this labor day I just want to tell all of my employees that I cant wait to lay you off! I wish you would work made up holidays like this as what is most important in life is pleasing the shareholders and me! Get back to work and do better! MW

Just saw an ethics alert posted on Inside, and thought it was for sure about good ole LC. What he has done is far worse than the 3 cases described in the article. What will RB do? MN letting him do whatever he wants does have consequences. Lining... — read more 

9/2 is the date the tool closes. I know they know where everyone going where. The 3 choices are only formality. The new leaders pick their team. A lot of politics involved

For the folks that have been in a PDC previously, are degrees/formal education required after a certain PSG level?

Love to hear your thoughts.

I’ll never understand the people on these threads who equate working from home with not working. It’s frustrating that even the ELT has started to adopt that attitude. We’re three rounds of layoffs in after three years, and it’s not because people... — read more
