Research definitively shows people perform best when they: -enjoy what they do feel secure in the environment they can make progress Feel they belong -are doing meaningful work How we doing?

Supervisor is asking me for feedback. I want to be honest but fear retribution. I sincerely wished this person had an iota of good management skills. How should I navigate these murky waters?

This is the perspective of a mid career, ~25 years petrotech-subsurface total experience, ~ 2 with Chevron. What I have noticed is that: I am surrounded by top talent at my level (individual contributor), which motivates me to work hard and get... — read more 

Didn't seem like there were any good answers from refinery management on the call this morning. I seriously don't see how it could be worse than 2020.

That’s how long it will take them to roll out, slowly, piece by piece, at glacial speed, in phases, layoffs/reorg/offshoring. And I’m sure whomever comes out on the other end will be no better off than today.

Do we expect data engineers and software engineers to take the brunt of the layoffs? Or would AI related roles like Data scientist, ML engineer, etc. not be treated differently? I’ve heard mixed things from internal folks. Anyone have an inkling if... — read more 

Not layoff related, just genuinely curious how many of yall have a portfolio. For those who do, how close are yall to not having to work again/not having the reorgs affect you? I figure there’s at least some here. Wish we had an internal place to... — read more 

How do we get our politicians to care about Chevron’s plan to send US jobs overseas? Do we need a petroleum technology/ engineering union? How do we get investors to care about US jobs? Activist investment?

What is the pay range for a PSG 20? Interested the low and high end of this pay grade.

My today sheepishly informed me he had to rescind an EE because the powers above him wanted to see fewer awarded. Apparently in part because since company performance is low, it’s assumed we can’t be actually be doing EE level work. By all accounts I... — read more

David Graebar wrote a book titled Bullsh*t Jobs which basically suggested around half of private sector jobs are useless. The 5 categories are flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers and taskmasters. I'd suggest ABU is dominated by dust tapers who... — read more 

Every time we go through a re-org recently we appear to try out the enlightenment from a management guru du jour, presumably after “someone” attends a motivation seminar or something. I think that Chevron had a reasonable management focus when I... — read more

Another MCBU Midland Leadership is leaving the company. When will they listen to the employees that no one wants to live here. At least relocate the office employees to Lubbock or up the PEP. #G-nsUp

who is in position 1,2,3 and whats their ROCE?

Will layoff be based on employee performance?

At least from the perspective of an employee. I’ve been with Chevron for a long time, went through a lot of cr-p and good times too, and it never felt like this before. I started at the time when there was still a prospect of actually having a career... — read more

The word on the street is packages are coming from some folks who were not taken by CNRL. Any details? Why some and not all will get it?

How can I get on the EOI fast track? I have several offers and would like to take the package and move on?

Yall im just a new grad and don’t know much, so can someone with more seniority / connections help me understand the axing timeline? I’ve heard Chevron gives 3-6 month heads up if you’re impacted, but can’t help but feel like things will be different... — read more 

During the last two reorgs (Alpha in 2015 and Transformation in 2020) we were losing billions and oil was below $40 bbl. Now crude is in the 70-80 range, the economy is strong, and we are raking in billions with all time high FCF. And this reorg... — read more 

If someone didn’t do their job, that’s on managers. I can bet you that the same percentage of people slack in the office and at home. RTO/hybrid has been introduced for one reason only, and that’s attrition. With a need for direct, creepy kind of... — read more 

Didn't know it was going to be a Hybrid Christmas party. They only had seating for 1/2 the attendees. And what's with the drink tickets to get a Coke? Were so hard up we're limited the soft drinks? Guess they made it up with the Parking Fees.
