During town halls and public events, they tell us countless personal stories, none of which we give a cr-p about. Yet when it comes to matters that are vitally important to our livelihoods, they're completely silent. They keep us in the dark for... — read more
What positions got laid off?
So what positions got laid off or forced to move? I assume it was mostly corporate office positions or did any of this affect the local field positions?
Hooray for Hess Deal!
So thrilled that the Hess deal has finally gone through. This will have a huge impact on Chevron moving forward and hopefully get us on the right track to build back better. This reorg has been one of the harder ones in my 20 years at Chevron and... — read more
Would you take a lower-paying job?
I got an offer from a smaller company. The pay is a bit lower, not by much, but the conditions seem decent. There's a real possibility I could finally have a life outside of work. Management actually seems to care about work-life balance, at least to... — read more
Chevron beat Exxon
Time to move on and integrate Hess. MW can now retire
Mission 1MM
Achieved. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Chevron-Prioritizes-Cash-Flow-Over-Growth-in-Permian.html Sad that we need to learn about it from an external source first. Thanks for that Bruce.
Severance email
Has anyone received it yet? I just got PTO and last paycheck today, last day on payroll. I assume the severance will be a separate email/doc to sign, but when can we expect this? Thanks in advance!
Hess Decision
There have been several posts on the Hess verdict with many claiming with certainty that chevron won or lost. For those with such claims, please provide some directional information as to where you are getting this information without divulging the... — read more
Wave 1 severance payment
Any insight as to when we should expect the payout from wave 1? I EOI’d, happily, and followed all the instructions to add my external email to my company profile before I lost network access. I was told that my last official day as an employee... — read more

Fooled Again?

Anyone else starting to realize they managed to re-org STAC into a somehow worse organization? 1/2 my team does not possess the skill set to do the job…but “boy were they hotshots at the [enter completely unrelated job]”. Looking at the org chart... — read more
Not the same place anymore
Chevron - Once a great place to work now taken over by corporate greed. Why is anyone loyal to these companies anymore? For most people, the pay is good but is it life changing? No.
Make sure you are not the dependable one
Back when I was early in my career, I made the mistake of being the “reliable one.” I took pride in stepping up during chaotic times - worked unpaid overtime, solved problems others didn’t want to deal with, became the go-to person for managers to... — read more
Hess Employees
Welcome to the MW and MN s****show possibly in the near future. Dont know how Hess is but Chevron is miserable right now with low morale due to constant poor management decisions and changes. Not the same company before the MW era ruined it.
It's time we work to rule and let management deal with their own creation
Working to rule means doing exactly what your job requires. Nothing more. No unpaid overtime. No covering for three people. No 12-hour days because leadership didn't staff or plan properly and sent jobs to inexperienced and incompetent people in... — read more
Another Gorgon fiasco
Now they say Barrow Island Field has unfixable gas leaks. So much for environmentally sensative operations.
Is it over?
So the Hess deal didn’t go through, right? I mean we would have heard something by now if it did. Now they are just waiting until the earnings call to announce that we’ve moved on?
Yet Another Incident
Speedy recovery to the injured parties. Wonder if they will activate the accountability model yet. https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/four-injured-after-fire-at-chevron-pascagoula-mississippi-refinery-local-media-reports-4136301
Disarray with a shiny label
They keep calling it a "transformation," but from where I sit, it feels more like disarray with a shiny label. We've been through wave after wave of reorgs - and still no real change. Just new names, new charts, same confusion. The transformation... — read more
Just Say No
A report came out that MW is the second highest paid executive in Houston. All while he lays off thousands. They expect those who are left will work longer and harder to make up for the lack of people and the poor quality of The Engine. Don't, just... — read more
This limbo we're stuck in is destroying me
I feel completely checked out at work. I know I should prep more, show up better, but I’m just not motivated. Then I end up doing poorly on calls or projects, which makes me feel worse and even more disconnected. It’s this loop of burnout and... — read more
Why are the Chevron and Exxon boards the most visited on this site??????
I keep checking different boards that are active on this site. There are tons of companies with issues, but it seems like we and Exxon have the busiest ones. I know our folks are vocal, so that probably explains a thing or two, but I’m still... — read more
Thought the right people in the right spots was an objective??
Seems like the opposite. Maybe good people but no experience in the jobs they got. Why??? What’s the vision here.
Thousands more in jeopardy—individual excellence can't offset systemic strategic failure
Over the past decade, our company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) has suffered a sustained decline, putting us behind our competitors. Key transactions, such as the HESS deal, remain unresolved after two years, and mounting legal challenges across... — read more
All talk, no substance gets rewarded
I bust my a-s every day at this place. I hit every single deadline, put out fires, and keep my work clean. But nobody seems to care. The only ones getting promoted are the loudmouths who never shut up about themselves, even when they barely pull... — read more
MN - layoffs will pay one dividend!
MN in the news: "The changes, which include the oil major’s production and refining divisions, are part of a plan the oil giant announced in February to reduce its global workforce by as much as 20%, or 9,000 employees, by the end of next year... — read more
Wave 1 - anyone wish you EOI’d?
When should we expect the next re-org? I got a job in Wave 1 - now im questioning if I should have taken the package. The workload is becoming insane, schedules ridiculous and now I see the writing on the wall that this transition to ENGINE is going... — read more
CBU
With a new president who looks after all NOJV including Canada, is CBU gone? I mean will they cell Chevron Plaza and close it down? It seems hard to believe. I spent 32 years in this building except for few international assignments. It is hard for... — read more
ELT or ChatGPT?
It’s funny that the ELT thinks that AI can easily replace individual contributors, but not themselves. MW has been warming seats on the ELT for over 15 years though multiple layoffs and out TSR is where it is. I’m pretty sure that ChatGPT, Grok, or... — read more
An example of whats wrong here
About 18 months ago, I was tasked by an impulsive executive to look at an outside of the box type project. Through some skill on my part, and a ton of luck generally, we hit an absolute home run. The project exceeded all expectations, and hit all the... — read more
Revenue per Employee: show me the money.
Just a reminder that, even before these layoffs, Chevron has the 4th highest revenue per employee out of the Fortune 50. It beats Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Google, GM and Amazon. Without considering the costs of ENGINE and redundancies, reducing... — read more

MW vs MN
Who is the bigger bell end?
When is the breaking point?
Is it when too many critical roles are cut? When we lose so much in-house expertise that we can’t function? When too many jobs are outsourced and everything starts to fall apart? My team has already lost so many people. There are barely a few left I... — read more
Chevron's Fatal Error
Chevron assumes that it's best employees will be above gossip, message boards like this, and from getting overly emotional/turned off by the company, which is generally true, but the error they made with recent layoffs and restructuring is that high... — read more
