Topics regarding layoffs at Chevron Corp.

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 

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?

"I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again" P. Townshend advice — read more 

Wells

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.

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 

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 

A Few Good Leaders

We attended the HR functional town hall last month and debrief sessions this week. Our leaders tried their very best to answer the questions but their responses were still vague and high level. Thanks to our GM who conducted an informal follow... — read more 

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 

Hess Sued

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/esg/hess-sued-on-53-billion-chevron-sale-as-panel-preps-deal-ruling Seems like Mr. Hess may be in trouble.

Hess

Anyone else hoping the arbitrator is going to ripe chevron's heart out after it cut it's own legs off?
