Are they making themselves visible or hiding?
Staying put but not optimistic
At this point in my career it feels too late to start over, which is why I have not left. If I were younger I would be gone already. There are so many issues here and no real sign that leadership plans to fix any of them.
New Employee Network
We already have BEN, Somos and PRIDE, but I think we need a new one called CEAMW. It's a group that can unite us all, and have more diversity than all the rest! The Chevron Employees Against Mike Wirth Network! Let's make it happen!
Unforseen effects
What has occurred from the reorg that might be of surprise? In the ABU a manager has been shunted into a worthless global role and they are wasting no time burning bridges clashing with long time allies. This has surpised the allies not the rest of... — read more
MW - we hope HESS can teach us to explore
Chevron (NYSE:CVX) plans to merge the Hess exploration team with its own to "challenge some of our conventional thinking" and make new discoveries, CEO Mike Wirth said Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg. Chevron (NYSE:CVX) is cutting ~650 Hess... — read more
Upward Feedback to MW
This brilliant feedback was copied from another post and must be elevated here: In alignment with MW’s directive to “stop being nice to each other,” I think we can all agree on this upward feedback: you are running this company into the ground with... — read more
Completely over it
I stopped stressing about this job months ago. Losing it wouldn’t break me because I know my skills are in demand even in this job market. Honestly, if they want to let me go, that could end up being the best thing for me. I am already thinking about... — read more
Horizontal wells
Are these wells truly profitable or is everything going international once again?
Release the CES!!
We want to see the CES Results! It's as big a scandal as the Epstein Files! What are they hiding?
CES
When do you think we can do another CES so I can give my opinion on how cr-ppy things are?
MW's relationship
How is MW's relationship with sweet Daddy T? Is it good, and is it as good as his relationship with Jim Cramer?
GOA petrotechs
How are things for GOA petrotechs right now? What sort of cuts are they communicating and are they centralizing yall to houston like they did in S&T?
In-scope notifications?
Has anyone received their in-scope notification for wave 2 selection event yet? Houston-based, CTC employee here, and haven’t heard anything yet…
Health and medical - HSE
Has anybody heard if health and medical in San Ramon and Houston are going to be part of wave two?
Are they aware what a morale/productivity ki-ler this process is?
Sitting by the phone the get my wave 2 call…and it occurs to me how little I’m going to get done the next…week? month?…as I negotiate this theatre. Do they even realize what they’ve done here?
San Ramon exit July 2026?
Why are people referencing this date?
Any advice from round one participants to us in round 2?
Just wondering if anyone that has already been through this mess could share any advice for those of us about to hit the fan this week? We have literally no idea how it's going to unfold other than the timelines. How do we get the inscope... — read more
Anyone declined the pay off?
Has anyone declined the pay off and taken Chevron to court successfully?
Chevron - Project ENGINE
This is just a placeholder for rants about ENGINE. Chevron is going to get burned big time by this project and they deserve it for this brazen and stupid offshoring attempt.

Workload --------->>>> 20% real engineering, 80% PowerPoint
EOI or Relocation
I know a lot of us are weighing the EOI decision, and it isn’t easy. But here’s the reality: if you don’t take the EOI and land another role, you won’t receive any severance. On top of that, the Houston move date is essentially locked for July... — read more
Select a pet
What type did your dept remove? The super freak (aka human wallpaper) whose sole aim is to hang around to boost their superannuation (401k), devoid of any other goals or talents. The poodle faker, a favourite of the non technical teams; dresses well... — read more
HR Job symposium
One meeting scheduled at 10pm for us international. The disrespect continues.
Wave 2 Notifications
Has anyone received their notifications yet for wave too. It’s eerily quiet no communications at all from my function.
Leaders you aren't anonymous
Hcad property search your favorite Houston based manager and send them glitter or fan mail.
Reorgs at Chevron don’t really fix anything
Bad managers are always unaffected and they stay the same while employees are the ones who have to adjust or end up being let go. You can move to a different team or get a new manager, but it’s always the employees who feel the impact.
Animals by Muse
Listen to the song. I think much of it describes our management well. Not the last two sentences but everything else. Don't condone the last part.
Layoff in 2026?
What is the rumor? Is this why they were holding off on the Houston moves and couldn't share much about it? Unbelievable how the location move can be life changing to some of us yet there is "again" lack of information on the relo.
San Ramon Move Dates by Group?
Does anyone have any insight into which groups in San Ramon will be asked to move in 2026, which will move in 2027, and which will move in 2028? I feel like this will be helpful to know as we go into the second half of Wave 2
Pointless initiatives
Be honest, how many of the corporate initiatives you’ve been asked to work on are pointless? Reflecting back on the last few years, I’m embarrassed at the amount of work I’ve put into corporate initiatives that are either completely pointless, or... — read more
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
As I read MN’s obviously sincere and motivating message, I found myself relating to his wise words. Something “weighed heaviest on my heart,” too. That, esteemed colleagues, is the crushing weight of the endless piles corporate bullsh-t we are fed... — read more
CS Townhall
There is always so much negativity and criticism of leadership on this page. For a change, can we acknowledge how awesome ML is at the helm of Corporate Strategy? Clear, communicative, transparent, empathetic, sincere, intelligent, experienced, down... — read more
HR selections 26-27. Wow.
Does the LT see supervisor CES scores???
ENGINE Transition Advisors
I retired 20 years ago and now enjoy retirement. I am as retired no longer in the loop. I am curios what exactly is the term meaning of the word Engine? Is Engine a contract Company or overseas offshore special force team now onsite?
Met some new analysts and advisors today….
None of them have experience in what they’re advising or analyzing. Joy. It’s all about WHO u know not WHAT you know.
HSE open mic
HSE open mic is terrible.
Accountability
Accountability is the biggest buzz word this time around. Have you seen leaders being held accountable in your function?
LAYOFF DATA BREAKDOWN
For those who have already taken AEOI, EOI, or been laid off, I understand that you receive a list showing some demographic info about those who have left CVX. I’m curious if that info show the location of the employees. Especially for those who... — read more
