I’ve been on LinkedIn looking for work because I am 90% sure im losing my job.. There are so many posts stating that jobs are not real. The companies are just posting them to increase their traffic. They seem to have some evidence to back it up... — read more 

Anyone else think it’s hilarious that Chevron went through this reorg thinking people cared enough about the company to stay.. then they saw results.. now posting jobs externally on LinkedIn.. how embarrassing

It looks like we didn’t completely put this out of its misery. JBG is a toxic, passive aggressive narcissist. While there were few tangible results, it seems he systematically dismantled the leadership from the one group that delivered them. Most... — read more 

So for IT, with the exception of San Ramon and other edge locations, the layoffs didn’t seem to hit Houston that bad? I was expecting layoffs of almost apocalyptic proportions, but it seems most people I know kept their jobs. Or am I missing... — read more

Anyone have any updates on our side? I have a friend over at HES that says it’s full steam ahead for them as if the merger is going to go through.

Did a lot of people in 1H get left standing with transition roles, or did they forget to include all the people in the announcements? I know a lot of people in 1H that weren't on the announcements that are still working. I'm not asking. They aren't... — read more 

What is the definition of the "termination of employment date"? Assuming July 17, 2025, is the date listed in the email received, does it mean you are employed until 11:59 PM on July 17, or does it mean you are out by the end of July 16?

How are my aussies doing? yall get hit hard?

I am sorry for all of you that have to endure this process, that it looks as though there will also be no transparency, and that the company only cares about reducing US headcount t. Just like it was for us in Phase 1. Org charts will not be... — read more 

“We know we’re cutting 30-40%, but we also have no clue what roles will exist so can’t share org charts until the moment before you post…” huh? “Also, the business is investing multiple millions in technology to power the new hr org….. but ignore... — read more

When will MW and MN take accountability that they are at fault for the state of the company? The answer is never, but they absolutely should. They brought in the non stop changes and distractions since 2020 and they understaffed and crushed morale... — read more

Now you will see why Esso tied our hands on HESS - so they can grab BP without competition. Poor MW. BP has the same revenue as CVX at a third the market cap. A bargain. The new company will be more than 2x our market cap, 2x our production, 3x... — read more 

Oh because SA will increase production so that prices will not get out of the 60's. Even an Iran conflict couldn't keep it above $70. Seems to me when he was in office last time, Layoffs happened too. Is this a pattern? Think about it

Anyone inspired after that reveal and explanation? if you are confident that our future is in the right hands then bless your heart

How can ELT win the employees back? This destructive layoff and lack of accountability has crushed any motivation. Outside of badly needed new leadership, how do they recover?
