CVX positioning to be acquired
In 2010 the headcount was 60,000+ . Closer to 30,000 now. Soon to be closer 20,000. The outsourced offshore to India thing makes it easy to cut that appendage in heartbeat. The real value of CVX is in its assets and access to acreage. Little by... — read more

Real Talk
We all know where this is going. Chevron is not above improvement, our culture and lack of accountability (albeit at the top, not the bottom) is something we should strive to improve upon. Let's be honest though - we can improve on all of these areas... — read more
