Phillips is looking to sell CP Chem and Chevron has a rofr. Think we will buy it? Or too distracted with reorgs and Hess?

Learn to code. In the meantime, would you like fries with that?

Is it taxed like bonus where uncle Sam takes 40% special cut or taxes at regular income tax brackets?

ELT needs to feel the pain since they are not taking any accountability for their actions. They expect us to deal with this mess they have created and give 110%. No way! Cut your effort to bare minimum.

Sounds like some managers are being asked to develop org charts. Any insight on layout, limits, etc?

My husband did not hear anything from the local leadership. Does anyone know what is the deal with the Expats?

It is as though Mckinsey designed this process to do the max amount of damage to morale and culture as possible. Every meeting exposes another layer of flaccid leadership and utter tone deafness. Every townhall would’ve been better off as an email... — read more 

370+ people logged into Teams to watch the meeting… and that’s all they got to do, watch… a slide deck. No audio the entire time. Makes one wonder if offshoring all of IT is really even a bad thing?!? Can’t get any worse.

We sit here listening to VPs and Managers talk about accountability and all these buzz words their buddies from the consulting agencies sold them for $10MM each, but see actions and outcomes that contradict at every turn. How can one justify the... — read more 

He sounded like a robot across both town halls… swapping "downstream" with "upstream" like it was straight from a well-prepared script. Guess he’s AI.

So is Australia Australia, Base Assets, Emerging or Offshore? The new categories make no sense whatsoever, they are designed to last no more than three years before a new reorganization is needed. Shame on leadership.

Any thoughts on which departments would be affected the most in refining/MFG?

Easy for someone to say since he has tons of stocks in the bank and has a job... he talks to employees like we made those "culture" and key decisions - he forgot that we only work at Chevron and him and his buddies made this culture and make tons of... — read more 

Those who post in wave 1 and are left standing are gone. Those who post in wave 2 and are left standing are gone. Then they have the gall to say they’ll still have a 1HPDC???!! Who will be left to post and for what positions? Did I misinterpret HR... — read more 

There’s no way someone at that level is actually stupid enough to say those things in a downstream town hall where people are worried about whether they’ll be laid off or not, right?

Join us on March 1st, 2025, for a community walk to step up and move forward together! Chevron’s so-called ‘Human Energy’ motto feels like a punchline when you see how this layoff mess has been handled—up to 20% of their global workforce cut with... — read more 

I think everything in the townhalls today has been a smokescreen for just plain downsizing USA staff to cut costs. I think Chevron's focus for a long time has been its shareholders. Not the company, not the employees. To maximize shareholder... — read more 

Ok, I know someone on this board has a full copy of the org chart. Lets give it up. Aaaaaand GO!!

All the talking heads keep mentioning competitive performance as if it's some. New and innovative idea. What does it do and what will it look like? Teams in the asset classes?

HR Website says week of April 21 is earliest exit for AEOI’s accepted on or around March 24… What’s the point? If folks want to leave, why make them wait 4 more weeks?

Discussion goes here

I wouldn’t feel this way if the job market weren’t as horrible as it is. If there were a decent chance of landing another job, I wouldn’t feel so cornered and anxious. I hope to keep the job, but I’m fully aware that the likelihood of losing it is... — read more 

Downstream Townhall answered nothing of real relevance for employees. Also, is AW on something? He was red and sweaty and overly hyper. Not the look you want from someone that is as high a PSG and supposedly in charge.

A bit confused on the new org chart for DMC vs TPE

Are we going to get any real info in the upstream townhall townhall or is it more nothing Burger nonsense?

Just what I said above in the title. It’s all so absurd.

Nothing makes me feel better about getting laid off than looking in my mailbox to find out 900,000 boe/d puzzle piece. Happy Tuesday everyone. One day closer to working at McDonalds.

I don't think I can get fired for being a mother, but there isn't anything legal to prevent myself being laid off for a made up "poor performance" right...

Regarding the relevant experience, quality of the candidates, suitability of the role positions and basic English of the current selected candidates?

If they want something meaningful after this ANOTHER REORG . How many so far? Way too many without results! They just shuffle people or positions around. Move this guy there, the other over there and move around this position from here to there... — read more 

So where is EB and her finance team? All moving to service centers?

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - expecting the same people who were too inept to even realize the problems they where in charge wont be, cannot be, the same people who can get us our. Culture is the problem, and this magic bullet org chart... — read more 

So the new leadership org chart is out. Looks like the 15-20% headcount reduction does not apply to this group but did we actually think it would? I’m sure they are all getting only COL raises this year as well

Hey, am I allowed to do a remote fellowship or research assistantship for 5-10 hours a week in the evenings while working full-time at CVX? It would help me gain experience in newer technologies that we don't use right now and beef up my grad school... — read more 

It's 2025 and a lot has changed from offshoring engineering to AI. If I'm unlucky enough to get laid off and decided to get more education to switch to something more future proof: is there any good engineering or STEM based career path that... — read more 

I guess they’re scared employees might riot when they start getting those termination letters and talks. They will need how to evacuate the ELT from the masses lol
