Arbitration Status

Who else is hoping Exxon wins the arbitration and the Hess acquisition doesn't go through! Come on Paris! Come on Exxon!

Checked out and counting down

I don’t care anymore, not at this point. I’m just watching from the outside in, doing the bare minimum, waiting for my number to be called. I couldn’t care less what happens to my project amid all these constant reorgs, or what the manager plans to... — read more

ABU IT Leadership

We all know ABU IT was gutted. More than half gone. Now we have MK, MOD, AW, JG, TS and MDA as leaders. What we all thinking about the new org structure?

Boeing is a harbinger for Chevron

Per AI regarding the decline of Boeing. Any of this sound familiar: Boeing's decline is attributed to a combination of factors including a safety crisis, quality control issues, and a corporate culture prioritizing profits over safety. These... — read more 

PMPS… how did they go?

Two VCs even though my workload increased substantially and took on new initiatives. I just nodded my head and said thank you that I still had a job while in my head I’m thinking yah that’s a bunch of BS.

Many projects are now a mess

Poorly conducted and poorly thought-out reorgs mean projects get stalled because new teams don’t communicate, and knowledge gets lost in the shuffle. Deadlines slip, and no one takes responsibility. Meanwhile, leadership pretends it’s all about... — read more 

Lakeside San Ramon Advertised for Sublease

“Chevron has listed for sublease all of the approximately 400,000 square feet of office space that the energy giant occupies in San Ramon at the Executive Parkway location, which is perched at an eye-catching location next to a lake at Bishop... — read more 

Town halls

Every single town hall in the past 12 months could’ve been an email. Nothing but a colossal waste of time.

Scotland office collapses

So, Aberdeen is finally closing. I'm surprised anyone was still there since all they were doing was filing emails from BP about declining Clair production. Thoughts?

End career salaries for petroleum engineeers

When I started my career at Chevron in mid 00’s it was common to see the end of (technical) career look like this: retire in late 50’s/early 60’s with 2-3 expat assignments and the last 5-10 years at grade 26. Now we are faced with a layoff (or... — read more 

HR and ELP incompetence

You put the workforce through the most horrible experience, whether they got jobs or not. And on day 1 of go live, all the org charts on workday aren’t even correct. We have people with random direct reports, wrong job titles. I’ve personally seen... — read more 

B&c pdc results?

Do you know when they’ll call people who received offers? Heard the pdc ended today but not sure if they will call people today or tomorrow.

CES

Are they going to be accountable and face the music of what we think about them?

ABU severance pay

During transformation in 2020, it was 4 weeks for every year of service. For 2025, several previous threads mentioned 3 weeks. Others mentioned 4 weeks. Which is correct?

I'm out

This reorg’s a mess, they’re mostly making it up as they go. The early heads-up actually did me a favor, it gave me time to really think about whether I still saw a future here. Turns out, I don’t. That clarity pushed me to look elsewhere, and I... — read more 

Feeling like I’m worth nothing

I’ve been left standing and waiting for the PDC results. My boss has already been promoted to be a higher manager and hasn’t said a word to me. And the new manager hasn’t communicated anything to me. My new team has already had kick off meetings... — read more 

safety updates???

Been quiet. Update on Colorado, Africa and Ames? Where next? Other safety incidents we’re not being told about? Hard to focus, MN, when stuff is falling apart around us. Antipathy is vengeful.

“OPEN TO WORK” on LinkedIn?

Some of our HR groups have a pretty good idea that we will not have jobs, there will be not boxes for us. I’m curious if putting LinkedIn open to work status as public could hurt at point? Ideally, I would like to land a role inside Chevron, so I... — read more 

Workday PDC job status

Anyone know if there is any way to check the status of a job and if workday provides any update during the selections?

Why bother trying?

We've reached the point where all the promotions go to buddies, benefits shrink yearly, and job security’s turned into a joke. My manager literally said a while ago that quiet quitting is the new normal. So now I do my 9-5 and log off. Not my fault... — read more 

PDC after being left standing

For the BC unit, I'm curious about how many folks who were still around in transitional roles actually went for the PDC? As for me and a couple of my coworkers, we’re done with it! Just counting down the days until August. There were over 100 jobs... — read more 

Could they have ballsed this up any more?

Can you picture a more colossal clusterf*** of a layoff process? Announced way too early Town hall after town hall with no new info Tone deaf leaders extolling the virtues of the abomination being built in the third world to disappear your... — read more
