Last post deleted... Heard that there will be a PSG adjustment at the end of the year to align us with the industry, anyone else hear this? Heard they are doing salary surveys.
PSG Adjustment End of Year
Heard that Chevron, like many companies, are doing salary surveys for an upcoming company wide adjustment to compete with the industry. Anyone else heard anything?
Change my mind: Chevron laptops are increasingly becoming a bottleneck to productivity
The title says it all. We’ve got so much in the way of cybersecurity, spyware, performance monitoring, key logging, etc, that it’s negatively impacting the usability of laptops. Forget blaming the usual sources like Microsoft, or support, this is... — read more
Useless selection reps
Is anyone else experiencing selection reps who yap on and on about their careers but don’t let you get a word in to learn about you so they can adequately represent you? I fear I’m really sc--wed, as mine just talked about himself for a solid 20 min... — read more
Chevron the joke of Community
It’s a joke! I was training 3 people to replace me. All 3 were 2+ my PSG.
At least someone is…” Houston oil giant to revamp Baytown site, bringing 700 jobs”
https://www.chron.com/business/article/exxonmobil-baytown-plant-jobs-21019567.php “ Houston oil giant to revamp Baytown site, bringing 700 jobs” I love that we are trying to chase what Exxon has done 10+ years ago and now while CVX has decided to... — read more
Labor day 2025
To All Employees Making $200,000 or Less, This year’s Labor Day marks a historic shift in our national priorities. No longer shall this holiday be squandered on leisure and rest. Instead, we dedicate it to the true pillars of our economy:... — read more
Sad reality
It's not the tariff situation at all. I've been looking at jobs for almost 2 years now because I knew this huge reorg was coming. The job market in US has cratered unless you're in a very highly specialized technical field such as AI, niche... — read more
The Center
Designed to support the assets and be a hub for SME’s, it has been a great success for Chevron over the years. But facing an existential threat, after years of investing in research and technologies which make zero impact on the day to day happenings... — read more
Left standing
I imagine there are many of us (mid career 10+ years) that assumed we would retire from this company. However this was the year that got some of us, and now we are left standing. However are you holding up? What are you doing now/plan to do next?... — read more
Name the album
Name the album that best sums up this cluster f*ck of a reorg. I'll start with Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. One rumour I've heard is that maint contractors are busy looking elsewhere and doing a lot less work as they know they'll be gone soon to Engine. — read more
Who decided the short list for jobs?
Does anyone know who is deciding who is shortlisted for the jobs after we all apply?
I thought job searching would ease my mind
Nope. It’s only made me feel more desperate. I’ve poured so much time and effort into the search, and I’m getting nothing back. Just crickets. What’s going on? I actually have a strong resume with specialized skills that are supposedly in demand, yet... — read more
Lost
Feel lost and deflated. The office hours are not good. Listening to talking points from the leaders makes me want to hurt myself. Delusional.
San Ramon Move to Houston Timing July 2026?
Found this embedded in another post and elevating here. Strange comment on this year, which is not possible, but it goes on to say the vast majority are expected in houston July 1st: The revised timeline presents notable implications for San Ramon... — read more
Another day, another IT Major Incident
Welcome to the new normal!
Remember their names
Take a moment to register the names of people who led operating model design.... when it fails, we will know whom to blame
SH&T show
S&T reorg has been an absolute debacle. Implementation team clearly didn't involve enough people actually executing the work for these workflows to make any sense and then point their fingers at other orgs when there is a question of who does what... — read more
Extra PTO
After all the soul crushing changes and stuff the company has been put through the past few years, for those left maybe management should give a day or so of extra PTO as an act of good will! If they remotely care about productivity people need a... — read more
So Happy I Retired
After reading these posts and the moral crushing from leadership, I am so glad I retired when I did. Besides a great severance and now being richer than sn-t, I no longer have to put up with endless layoffs and outsourcing to other countries. Best... — read more
Wave 2 Postings
San Ramon, less or more jobs than you expected?
Boeing 2.0?
With the massive cuts and loss of so much talent and are we setting ourselves up for complete failure in the not so distant future? Accidents are already sky high and we haven't completed the understaffing measures completely. Guess Mike doesn't care... — read more
Affable young women leaders
How many of these affable, not business savvy PSG 26-29 leaders do we have? Annoyingly, many routinely block their Mondays for extended vacations. They make every school and coaching event. Rarely in the office more than 2 days a week. I swear, it’s... — read more
Les
When will LC be fired? He's non existent and IT is a complete disaster after the re-org. Morale in the toilet and there was no plan at all for what happened after the cut 50% or more of US staff. I've heard Engine is a disaster as well. Also wonder... — read more
Future of CNE
Wondering how many CNE folk are trying to jump ship this round. Should be a good indicator of how close we are to sinking that boat. We were slow to jump in after BP and Shell had first tried to float their low carbon, low IQ portfolio’s. BP threw... — read more
Job hunt…
Is anyone having any luck securing employment? I have had no luck after applying to many so called openings. Reading other boards there are many others in the same boat, and I personally have not seen it this bad before. It seems like most of the job... — read more
Have finance and IT really taken the brunt of the cuts so far?
As others have pointed out, it’s so hard to see the big picture, or to really know what to expect in one’s neck of the woods.
Conflict of interest?
Serious question — what’s the point of keeping husband-and-wife combos in the same department or even the same company? It always turns messy. Conflicts of interest, favouritism, gossip, and when it goes sour (and it usually does), everyone else has... — read more
WARN notice
The email states termination date is “potentially” October 23. Does that include the redeployment period meaning if you choose not to participate your termination date could be September 23?
Should have taken the package
Anyone else filling like they should have taken the package. On the verge of just putting my two weeks in. Management sc--wed up big time on this reorg and no transition made the stand up of the new org a damn mess. End of the day leadership will not... — read more
Hess folks competing in round 2?
I see new manager roles that have two to four roles that report up to them. Is this because Hess staff are coming in and not in scope in round 2?
Where were cuts deepest?
Curious where folks are seeing cuts. HSE here, and honestly I can’t tell how deep this is. I am seeing a lot of down grading of roles tho…
Subsurface jobs
How do the jobs posted in rd 2 look in the subsurface space? Big cuts?
Lied again
Surprise surprise.. 20-30% avg my a$$. My org and grade range is being cut 50% Heartless. I bet you c***suite gets a big pay bump and bonus next year for all their savings.
Anyone planning on leaving the industry want to file a title VIi case for racist & s-xist hiring and promotion policies?
A statistical overrepresentation of one hired or promoted group IS enough grounds to file a title VII case for discrimination and force HR groups into revealing internal communications and policies regarding hiring and promoting practices. We all... — read more
When will jobs be released Friday?
Early? 11:59pm PST? Let’s fu--ing do this already…
Why?
Why is MW and MN such Bell Ends?
HR jobs
I just heard that 90% of HR jobs are already selected. Pick 3 jobs is just a dog and pony show. This whole process has been awful.
EOI not accepted?
Did anyone EOI & it not get accepted?
Another Great Post - To ELT and anyone above PSG 25
Not the OP on this one but want this to be highlighted for management: I just saw something that caused me to pause and think about our current situation at CVX. Some of you may have heard of Judge Frank Caprio, a very special human being, in my... — read more
