Town halls

Seems like every town hall is barely more informative than the last. You may only get one tiny tidbit out of each meeting. Hardly transparent or it just means they are being transparent and don’t have it figured out yet which is a whole other... — read more

Employee in Houston on global contract

What would happen the employees in Houston that are a the global payroll, not the US one ? I think there are still quite a lot of them in Houston . Will they be switched to a US contract ?

How will the actual layoff go down?

Will they call people at home and tell them there badge has been deactivated and somebody will clear out their desk? I don't think IT people will want to talk face-to-face. given how cr-ppy this layoff has been handled.

I AEOI’d today. San Ramon, 20 year tenure, recently (Oct ‘24) promoted to 22. It was a good run but no way am I going to the swamp. Use the GO-441-1020 form if removing personal data from the network. Source in cyber says severance will be at... — read more

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
