Is the strike gonna happen?
Thanks a lot, ELP
Yeah, Chevron spends too much on consultants - totally agree. But since this genius reorg there's no one left to do the actual work. Now ELP has to be the guardians of anyone and anything who may use a consultant - oh, except for all the exec... — read more
Employee Survey
No one has any faith in the employee survey. No actions are going to come from it.
Unassigned Office - Actually good
Wow, just had to jump on here and say it. The switch to open-plan with unassigned seating (HMP) has been straight up fantastic. I used to dread coming in but now I actually look forward to it. You grab your laptop in the morning, pick a spot, and... — read more

What’s with the employee survey?
Reading through the survey, it seems like they are trying to pay attention to morale. Curious - what prompted this 180? Is attrition higher than they wanted? Are high performers leaving? Anyone have a pulse on the ELT? Respectfully, why do they... — read more

Wouldn't cutting MW's salary amd other ELT be a great move? Consultants like McKinsey basically run the company so why pay for expensive ELT?
Cost Cutting
Why are we paying MW over 30 million a year when he can't make decisions and just hires multimillion dollar consultants like McKinsey to run the company? Maybe fire MW and we'll really save money!
Forget the Survey
Absolutely no point in taking the survey or participating in anything Chevron related. Its a completely dead company so who cares. Back to operation bare minimum effort!!!
