Fellow employees, how are you all getting along in the new org? How is the work load? My personal experience is pure he-l to be honest. Triple workload and chaos from management. This may be just my own experience, so I’m hoping to get an idea of... — read more 

D. Trump “The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money”

Dearest gentle reader, it has come to this author’s attention that all is not glittering in the oil patch, particularly within the cold, steely walls of Chevron. While the company boasts of record-setting efficiency, measured by colorful scorecards... — read more 

There are now no more PDRs? What does this mean? Is it just another nail in the coffin of getting a new position/career progression? I guess there won’t be any need for them if there aren’t any jobs to post in a PDC.

As CVX price and bbl go up with the multiple conflicts, will that save us from additional layoffs? Or is this short term?

My boss has been hinting that there's no longer a cliquey barrier for entry into exploration. I've heard there's a reorg coming. What are the current whispers?

You get to experience favoritism, nepotism, and exploitation. No growth at all. Leaders who only care about themselves and face no consequences for anything. Great place.

Finance is now a complete joke. Management does not know the inefficiency of these endless forecasts, scorecards, and endless requests on a daily basis. This new op model is half baked at best. They know not, nor care about the chaos they created... — read more 

The west coast refineries run a lot of Middle East crude slates, their on hand stocks are probably good for a week or so depending on where they on the resupply cycle. Assume there is some business continuity plan for supply disruptions.

I know Chevron monitors activity. Obviously. But has anyone else received a new pop up to confirm that we understand and agree with our appropriate use policies? I’ve asked around and my peers haven’t received….

What is the deal with the hatred towards IT at Chevron? Its pure he-l working here in IT as you are treated as a 3rd class citizen. We are the first for our ignorant ELT to pick on for cuts all while that advertise around Houston how they are... — read more 

so, I got totally 4.5%, and I got 1.5% beyond structural raise of 3%. below average?

My partial CIP arrived in my bank account overnight. This is after an AEOI last year. No sign of a paystub though, and I expect that will arrive via snail mail.

Algorithm for PMP and ranking. Yes I said it. Now its all new, so there will be considerations. But if AI you can compare across organization and huge data bases. What I am saying, it there are known attributes for high potential.And performances. ... — read more 

If you’re not happy with your current position but the manager has not put you on a performance plan yet, can you tell your manager you want to volunteer to be out then you have 90 days- sounds like severance. Seems like a win- win.

I have to say despite knowing I'll be downvoted into oblivion, this place is fine. Good pay, decent work. If you're miserable here, you'd probably be miserable anywhere.

This will come as a surprise to Chevron management; respect is earned and not deserved due to title or legacy. It has been a long time since I worked with a Chevron manager who actually earned respect. Management drafts way too many entitled... — read more 

Any concerns about Leviathan and Tamar? Glad I am not on location.

Can anyone confirm with certainty?

Can someone explain the significance of 90 points? Do they matter only for the company contribution towards healthcare premiums or do the 90 points come into play for other benefits?

Is the payout usually below the full target? Company prioritizes full payout for current employee only?

Now convinced more than ever that the dysfunction is intentional to get you to quit. Don’t get fatigued. Make them fire you.

I've been getting so many fake job offers lately it's ridiculous. You're desperate for a job and thinking it's a lead, but it's just someone trying to steal your info. Please double-check every recruiter before you respond. These people prey on our... — read more 

Last minute townhall announcement on Friday for Monday at 8 am. Thoughts?

It’s been a few months. What’s the verdict on the new GM? Are we offshoring all data jobs in the next couple of years? The only takeaway for me was the OE moment. Basically somebody executed some script that ran up a $4m bill in a day. That... — read more 

Hard to pin down exactly why I'm drained most days. It's just this constant pressure to keep up, never feeling like you're actually ahead. I'm starting to worry this is the future, with no relief in sight.

Anyone have information on the algorithm utilized for March promotions? Seems to be some odd results of unexpected promotions. Others on the list for promotion heard crickets.

We have highly paid leaders, yet every single decision, metric, business plan, even EP are dictated by consultants. After the mess of 2025, with less people doing more work, our highly paid leaders think its a fantastic idea to have more benchmarking... — read more

So; no more HMP (unless you're already on a modern floor) Offices for the rest of us. Makes 4x days a week a little more tolerable

Is there a specific day we need to let them know if we’re not relocating ? When’s the last day we can milk it if we’re in SR with zero intention of moving ? TIA!!

So here it is the Enron model for managing headcount - forced ranking with 12 different goals, most out of your control. BOTTOMLINE, just another way to reduce 10% each year. Interested what comments are:
