If you're considering making the move to Houston, do not do it. It is next to impossible to get Homeowners Insurance here. I've gotten rejected multiple times and one quote is over $8k and requires inspection to confirm insurability. If you already... — read more
What are the IT changes now that 26 up is out?
Now that the 26 and up postings are out, what are the changes? Are there agile positions? How much of a cut is there? Are you meeting with job owners?
Feeling Optimistic
The prospect of redundancy is like being offered a lifeboat before the captain and crew have even realised they’ve hit an iceberg. And on a doomed vessel, that’s about the best outcome one can hope for.
How much does this all cost?
Wave 1 BUs are in selection paralysis. No one is working, just whispering in hallways and behind closed doors. The other groups are stopped watching the train wreck. How much does all this lost productivity cost Chevron? I wish it was just money. But... — read more
Contractors v Employees in ABU
I am currently contracting in the ABU. Does anyone know the plan for contractors? I recently came across some articles discussing the Fair Work Commission case "Helensburgh Coal Pty Ltd v Bartley," which involved a company making employees redundant... — read more

PSG 28+ in wave 2?
Is there PSG 28 + positions in wave 2? Or they have announced all the high level positions. For example, I didn’t see any details in finance or css, does it mean we don’t have other 28+ positions except the VP?
PSG 25 and below population
Does anyone know the current population of the 25 and below psg’s? Four days to have selection meetings seems like the powers that be would have most of the boxes penciled in.
Is this a sane way to run a company?
At well-run companies, poor performers are let go on a regular basis. Chevron is different. For a period of 4-5 years it’s impossible to get let go, no matter how much you are just phoning it in. Then, like clockwork, it’s time for a... — read more
Business News Attention - Chevron Bloodletting
Business News in WA just put a hot take out. https://www.businessnews.com.au/article/Chevron-plays-down-union-s-job-cut-claim
Chevron should increase severance pay beyond 2 weeks per YOS
Job market is bad. An increase in severance will help those ride it out longer if need be. It will also make the company look good and may help retain ongoing and future talent.
Soon at Chevron: Fake job seekers are flooding U.S. companies that are hiring for remote positions, tech CEOs say
It's only a matter of time that we lose our Crown Jewels to this type of threat. TLDR: Companies are facing a new threat: Job seekers who aren’t who they say they are, using AI tools to fabricate photo IDs, generate employment histories and... — read more
Cramer?
What is Cramer's obsession with MW? He praises that he's amazing and doing great things. What has he done that is even remotely good? Is there something more going on here?
CVX return since MW became CEO
86% Compare that to any of the last 4 CEOs. Even JW was better. Remind me why we gave this guy an extension beyond 65?
$CVX down 20%
Remind me how much we contributed to R’s last election cycle.
Drill baby Drill
Oil is now less than $60. Tired of winning yet?
Actual AEOI %? PIP % ?

Chevron Zombie Land
In three to five years, Chevron will be sold and gone. Bled dry by the LT and assisted by upper PSGs feeding the Zombie to keep their paychecks coming, while the worker bees will be run off or outsourced and the infrastructure will rot. The... — read more
AEOI’s
So far the AEOI’s I’ve talked to are not people you want to leave this company. I know this is my anecdotal experience, but there is a difference between losing people who probably won’t have a job and people who are going to leave a gaping void... — read more

Pension Vesting for less than 5 years!
My AEOI package states that pension is auto-vested even if it’s less than 5 years of service! Excited for that, but cannot find it anywhere to see how much it would be. I’ve been with Chevron for 4 years now. Was hoping anyone here have any info on... — read more
HOU VIP visitors today
anyone see the secret service looking cops and visitors in front of 1500 today?
Still giving it all for Chevron?
Don’t. They’ll bleed you dry, toss you aside when you’re no longer useful, and replace you without a second thought. All that experience and knowledge that took you decades to acquire means nothing to them. Stop wasting your time on a company that... — read more
there is a job showing on the PSG26+ org chart, but was not in the job posts, so how people can apply???
another example of simple failure by Chevron IT/HR team
Jobs Postings
So how are the jobs being posted, since they are not visible the traditional way of going to the jobs page on the Chevron intranet? I am not a PSG 25+, so I am just curious how the job postings are being coordinated. Thanks!
Is Chevron Sociopathic?
Here is how chatgpt defines a sociopathic company. Let’s discuss! ⸻ Lack of Empathy • Employees are treated as expendable. • Layoffs, demotions, or relocations are delivered with no emotional intelligence. • Personal struggles are ignored or... — read more
Things are looking up!
All of the hiring we're doing in Bangalore must mean the company's doing great! Right?
How many AEOI were accepted?
I have heard ~1,500 EAOI were accepted, unsure if that includes the 600 recently announced out of San Ramon. If this numbers are true, they are underwhelming. Quite a bit to go to get to the anticipated 6k-8.
Reorg but same incompetent leader
So, now we have seen the new high level organization charts, it looks like shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic! Why can’t the BOD see the problem is not the structure, it’s the incompetent leaders that will remain in place. CVX keeps using... — read more
