So is CPP going gobble up terminals and lubes in this ‘“Infrastructure” power play?
AEOI master thread
Looking to hear from folks who submitted AEOI yesterday. If you're willing to please share the following: - Org - Location - Reason (career, family, not moving, retirement, etc)
PSG 26 can participate in both events!!
Damn, those fat cats are just lookin' after their own, aren't they? PSG 26, gettin' three gigs a round? Bloody he-l!
Angola expats
I have not received anything that I am in scope. Does it mean my job is safe? I report to two layers of local management and they have their own priorities and I do not want to bother them with more questions. The HR BP is not helpful and I am not... — read more
They succeeded
If the goal was a completely apathetic workforce that no longer cares about anything company-related, then job well done! I've never seen so many people respond with whatever, or who cares, or a variation of such to everything. Now watch them act... — read more
Second wave schedule
In the HR townhall, they said the second wave would be similar to the first in timing, only spread out between August through October. If true, then the events would occur something like this, give a day here and here: In-scope notifications:... — read more
RS ITFP townhall
It seemed like RS didn’t care at all, knowing he was retiring anyways.. or more likely forced to retire..

Can I get severance packages if I quit anytime before selection event
I’m not sure if I can get the severance packages if quit anytime before the selection event? Or I have to be at the left standing status to qualify the severance? Anyone has firm answers? Thanks!
What will this week look like?
Any thoughts? Any insight from somebody in the know?
AI in IT or Innovation?
The L3 org chart came out, and it is yet another totally braindead decision by Chevron. IT is cutting cost, offshoring jobs. Meanwhile, all companies that are doing AI are using high cost engineers and scientists. There are 2 big flaws with the... — read more
You get what you pay for
Technical skills and decisiveness have been replaced by social skills and likability. Performance is not tied to delivering results.
Concerns about Subsurface and Exploration
I have some concerns about the new Subsurface and Exploration org charts, which seem to be adding positions just to keep the same number of GMs. Both organizations have not been delivering meaningful value and are imposing processes that are burden... — read more
Real Reason Houston Office Closed
They notified the next org layer (30-28) this week starting Wednesday. All those left standing were locked out of office
Audit
To the auditors that failed our BU last year, Thank you for ruining our lives and causing fear. You say you understand how we produce oil, but that’s a lie. So make everyone happy in 2025, and press AEOI.
Another exit strategy for you
This is a friend of mine who helped me find a business to own so I’m in a position to EOI. Another option to finding another w-2 job. Advantagefranchisebrokers dot com. Good luck everyone.
Economic discovery
What is the most recent cvx discovery that cvx developed? Farm-ins and acquisitions don’t count. I want accountability in the new exploration organization. 1 year. No commercial discoveries. Burn at the stake after 1 year of failure.
Let's help each other out
For people in the Houston area who are looking outside the company for new opportunities, there is a company that recently opened an R&D center in Katy, Texas. They are looking to hire process/chemical engineers, data scientists, SCM, etc... — read more
Does IT have anything better to do?
Interesting how half the posts here are purely IT focused - as if anyone else in CVX even cares. Honestly, have zero patience for this division of the company. Every request for help is met with stonewalling, re-routing, or an overkill response... — read more
Legacy PDC and AEOI Decision
If it helps, I used ChatGPT to help me decide. In the end the AEOI button was the only option. Hopefully CVX does the right thing, supposedly that’s what they always do and lets me go by August. Navigating Chevron’s workforce restructuring requires... — read more
I thought CL was going to be the next CIO
It seemed like he was being groomed to be successor for BB. Then they brought this robot LC whose sole expertise is offshoring jobs. Then he puts the same people in the boxes below him that got us into this non-peer leading performance. What a... — read more
Hit the button and feeling great
Decided to take the AEOI offer/option and it feels wonderful! Hoping there is enough like me that can get out of the way and lessen the blow on those who need to stay. Not a lot of confidence in the latest re-org since it’s the same LT in charge... — read more
Need some tips and tricks to focus.
I’m located in San Ramon and I’ve been with Chevron for 10+ years my challenge is, we’re all professionals, we’re still paid to do a job even though this ROM has been handled ludicrously, but I’m really having hard time focusing and getting my work... — read more
2025 FYRE Festival
Completely full of sh-t or smartest bod in the industry
Soft culture
Relocating to India doesn't necessarily result in significant cost savings. In fact, the overall estimate might be higher, and the quality could be lower, leading to increased maintenance requirements. Furthermore, Chevron's culture has deteriorated... — read more
No performance ratings…
One townhall explicitly stated that performance ratings would not be used in selections… But we want to keep the best..? And if you say performance ratings are biased, then why do we even do it? Just as a farce to power raises? Or lack thereof? — read more
Evolve IT - weren’t CS, AC, RS, MC, and MA part of the leadership team
That gave us the wildly successful chapter/platform model and Imagine IT design? This time will be different?
What is the fancy name for this ROM/reorg/layoff/strategy the company is going through?
In past reorgs, there was some cutesy name for cutting folks, Transform, Accelerate Downstream, etc. I have not heard a name for the current culling. Anyone else?
IT cut of 40% will actually increase productivity IF.....
I believe about half of IT operates this way—they’re glued to PowerPoint, Excel, or tools like CMDB ServiceNOW or other checklist tool. Their main job seems to be pestering others, asking them to do the work of filling out checklists, like... — read more
How low can it go?
10 years ago we had nearly 65k employees. Then it dropped to a 50k range. Then we got to the 40k range and it's trending even lower. What's the end number we're looking at here? How many people do they think they can run this place with while still... — read more
This year is going to be least productive..
Why they couldn't get done with quicker .. Make it easy for everyone.. don't pretend you are going to look at Talent card and sh-t.
Real reason for this re-org
It's crazy how the IT town halls start out with how amazing our org is and how we crushed all the metrics. We delivered their 200MM cost savings request in 50% of the time allotted. The reward for good work is supposed to be more work. In this case... — read more
They Are Lying to You
Of course they know what’s going to happen. Of course the org charts are already finalized or at least very close to it. They can’t announce what they are going to do specifically because it’s is going to be pretty horrible for the workforce in the... — read more
Town halls
Given all the town halls today, I'm surprised this board isn't more active with new info. Guess there isn't any. Surprise, surprise.
Way too many advisors
Right?
LABU thread
Funny that he says he has stayed at Chevron so long because of the Chevron Way behaviors, even though he doesn’t use them!
