For those left standing - In a year or two, you will look back and acknowledge the best thing that ever happened to to you was exiting this craziness. For those who have a sit - it is a different world and culture going forward. Keep your eyes wide... — read more 

How did it go?

How are things there?

I have an appointment to turn in my laptop on Thursday. I lose access to the CVX network Friday at 3pm. Last day on payroll is July 18th. I have another job lined up. Can I start that during redeployment without it affecting severance or do I have to... — read more 

I made peace with the fact that being good at what you do and being dedicated won’t help you keep your job. I realized years ago that a highly skilled veteran can be let go while someone younger and cheaper stays. So, while I did my job well, I made... — read more 

What percentage of roles are immediate termination (like end of week) vs transition roles that go into August, Sept, Nov.

Realistically how attainable are jobs for those left in transition roles?

This week has already been a lot, and it’s only Tuesday. Make sure to take care of yourselves, folks. I know we’re all stressing and worrying, but you’ll be no help to your family if you worry yourself into an early grave. Just remember to go easy on... — read more 

I was fortunate to land a role one PSG above my current level this layoff cycle. Should I expected a PSG bump next year after EOY reviews or is it possible to get the bump before then? Curious how this has been handled in the past.

Got my invite with the selection rep and HR... That means I'm toast, correct?

Any stories?

Networking often feels like a farce. If you’re too visible or make too much noise with your initiatives, it can backfire. It just proves that corporations behave like people—fickle, inconsistent, and driven by ever-changing, often contradictory... — read more 

I’ve heard it varies.

As we’re reflecting on our time here and looking toward the future, left standing or chosen, I find myself wondering what I would do differently. What I would tell my younger self on my first day at Chevron, knowing what I know now. For me, it’s... — read more 

If the WARN act requires businesses to provide notice 60 days in advance of plant closures or mass layoffs, why haven’t we seen one for Houston. With the official announcements coming out today and Chevron mentioning July 14th likely being the last... — read more 

I hate the way the HR consultants talk to me, And the way our teams have been cut. I hate the way you drove our business, I hate it when you stare at other operators with envy, sad that Hess was a mistake I hate your big Permian mission-a-million... — read more 

Worst CIO in company history along with the worst CEO in company history? What do you all think?

As titled. Haven’t been notified. Not sure if good or bad.

So if you’re left standing and your last day is EOW, how do you apply? What do you need to do before then? Never heard of something like this after losing access lol. Pls help

What on earth has happened to the anonymous feedback tool? I used to love that for blasting people, at all levels (especially below me!) in compleat anonimity. Thanks advance

The lack of any notification, or even communication by the Job Owners / Selection reps is absolute agony. However, it doesn't seem that they care. Sadly, I've come to expect this from CVX during this re-org. The callous disregard for the... — read more 

I hear many wild rumors that in the shale and tight space, many people EOI'ed. Is this true? Do we have a vacuum to fill because a lot of people chose not to continue with the reorg?

I can't help but think that our leadership is an epic failure. This company pays hugh salaries to supposedly smart, educated people, yet pay millions to a consulting company to structure our organization. Does that mean our leadership can't... — read more 

Who’s been notified? How are you notified? Is it the result you wanted? Wishing all the best and know we’ll all come out ok no matter what happens. More to us than work.

We all know it’s kicking off from Tuesday onwards. When can I expect an invite to arrive for my meeting in my calendar?

Some of you may find this useful, so there you go: https://mybesthouston.com/employment-lawyers/

Layoffs are hard on everyone, even for those who get to keep their jobs. Its hard watching colleagues get let go, workplace dynamics is about to change, its all very overwhelming. None of us could have controlled what is about to happen, its just the... — read more 

Conversely, who will contact you if you did get a job?

Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond.

Let's get this over with! And then we can hopefully move on and focus on work once again. Nobody can convince me that the wait hasn't affected productivity companywide significantly.

Will ELT try to win back the employees that are still left after this disaster? Productivity, safety and morale are all in the dumpster due to ELT's actions. What will they do of anything to build back trust and any kind of care for the company?

Thanks everyone for the last few months of rumors, humor, trolling, and distraction. I don’t think I would have been sane without venting on here (sure wasn’t going to call the Chevron narc line for help). Good luck tomorrow. I hope everyone... — read more 

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for better parking when getting into the office. Thx McKenzie

Literally the worst planned weekend ne of these I’ve been a part of.

Anyone else ready to get this over with?

Why is management openly telling green badge employees what is fixing to happen to blue badge employees without telling the blue badges themselves?? It is fu--ing bull sh-t that consultants are more in-the-know than we blue badges are!
