CVX Swamp Creatures
I saw a post on here about the worst of the worst are at CTC. 5 will get you 10 there are more bottom feeding swamp rats at CPP. Seen it all in this gang of miscreants. Nepotism, good ole boys, juiced in untouchables….. you name it. Thoughts?
IT 3 days
Don't get it twisted, waiting till June to have IT in the office 3 days a week is not to be nice and give you time to figure things out. It's to give them time to wipe out IT, we'll have plenty of space by then. Also, how long do you think it will... — read more

While we're dreading layoffs, Mike is busy reviewing TV Shows
This says everything about where we are right now. I do not give a flying fu-k about whether he thinks Landman is a good show or not. What I care about is whether I will still have a job a month or two from now. What I care about is why the he-l it... — read more
Slow to execute
Chevron always take so long to execute reorganization. They have a history of deciding they need change then take 2-3 years to execute the supposed cost savings. These periods of uncertainty lead to low productivity. If you are going to make changes... — read more
RS the Snake ITFP Volunteer Day
What a joke. RS Snakey trying to spread joy and get us excited for volunteer day. I love volunteering but from him right now? Let’s twist the kn--e he already put in our back.
Mike Wirth On Landman
It’s honestly laughable that Mike would even be asked about the Paramount series "Landman" and act like he’s got any real knowledge of the oil fields. I’ve known Mike his whole career at Chevron. The only time he’s ever set foot in an oil field was... — read more

DEI is to Blame But Not Why You Think
DEI has ki-led this company, but it isn't why you think. Sure, it helped usher in plenty of undeserving advancements or check the box hires. But let's be honest AA has done that for decades and there also are some great people that came via that... — read more
Selection committee??
Any idea of who will be determining our fates? I’ve heard it may be people who don’t even know us which is why we were instructed to update our talent cards.
I'm most likely gone
I joined less than six months ago, and I’m already convinced I’ll be out of a job once the reorg kicks in. I’m so pi---d. I turned down another offer for this. I actually thought I was lucky to get this opportunity. Yeah, right. I might be young, but... — read more

IT is a sinking ship
What message does it send up and down the whole organization to see what’s gone on so far: External contractor that was expected to become the head of data and insights - GONE for who knows what after just 2-3 months. Highly regarded chief info... — read more

Fear
Advantage to Chevron’s slowness
Watching how quickly layoffs happened at Salesforce and Workday for once, makes me glad that Chevron is so slow. At least we have a chance to prepare for layoffs. Get your resume ready and start applying. The job market is tight and getting tighter... — read more
Major cuts
I heard we are no longer going to get free snacks in our break rooms because people are taking the Kind Bars home. Does anybody know if this is true? My kids are going to be so disappointed!

I finally found a solid job
Small company, oil&gas adjacent.The pay isn't as high, but the lower stress and improved work-life balance more than make up for it. Honestly, I don't care about the salary anymore—just as long as I can cover my bills, I'm good. It took me over eight... — read more

If I put in my 2-week notice exactly 2 weeks before bonus payout (last working day would be bonus payout day), will I receive the bonus? Has anyone done something similar in the past or know of anyone else's experience with this? Thanks

Bloomberg Softballs
Anyone catch the Bloomberg interview with MW? Talk about content light! How about asking what is happening with reserves? 7% production increase is great, but when 20% of is low margin domestic, what about international? Impact to revenue and... — read more
Raises?
What do we think raises will be? We've got a 2% structure and a 1.1 CIP. I'm hoping for a higher raise but not sure if I think that will happen.
Horizons
Can anyone confirm if it's at least some what more safe to be horizons in your first 2 or 3 years? Assuming the horizons person is skilled.
Megathread - Reorg Official Announcements
It’s getting hard to keep track and CVX keeps it compartmentalized, so can we please post what re-orgs and reductions have been officially announced? I heard JG told his folks they were losing 20% in CNE.
O&M Bonus Raises
1 what’s that come out to percentage wise? Heard raises were 3%.
EOI announcement to supervisors
Should people who intend to EOI let the supervisors know now or wait for the announcements?
MCBU is a joke
Are we seriously having the same people decide the reorg structure and outcomes who got us into this mess in the first place!? With all their goofy ideas and non-value adding positions they created over the past 3 years to only give them another... — read more
We have so many useless employees
Not to mention layers and layers of useless managers. I'm willing to bet my house that 90 percent of them - if not more - will still be here after the dust settles. I've survived several layoffs at Chevron, and not once did they get rid of the actual... — read more
