MW Words of Wisdom
Wirth explains, "Culture is the single most valuable asset to any organization." He further expounded that there are many things companies can go out and get if they are lacking in it, but you can't outsource culture and the well-being of your... — read more

Will I have to quit my other job if CVX ends WFH?

Chevron updates key infrastructure to speed delivery of gas.
Chevron Corporation plans a $66.5 million renovation of its downtown office …. Chevron is renovating its restrooms on floors L31-39 for $2.93 million. So I guess the executive gold plated toilets in SR are real. I don’t mind getting laid off if my... — read more
Transparency?
Where is Les, Mike, Mark, Michelle and other leaders? We are hearing absolutely nothing. Guess they are too busy counting their money and planning to destroy the employees.
So who are we? Let’s share
It’s becoming obvious something major is happening; finance is being offshored (never dreamt that would’ve happened), IT has always been dealing with offshoring but it seems these cuts will be deeper and longer, CBU was sold and our colleagues were... — read more
Union
Why do we not have a office staff union? We are being decimated by ELT. Can't do a thing alone but all together have more of a chance fighting MWs greed.
OPG REORG & HOU MOVE
Will the OPG reorg mean that no jobs will be posted in San Ramon, since the HQ move has already been announced? So the OPG reorg likely accelerates the timing of the decision to move to Houston for SR based employees, right?

How honest are you being with CES?
Chevron future is a disaster
EB ruins a perfectly functioining BU, TCO by implementing agile and replacing processes that worked before. Now everyone is confused about their roles and responsibilities and it is more difficult to get things done. Then EB is given the opportunity... — read more
Trying wrap my head around this model
I am an external hire and I’m still really trying to wrap my head around Chevron’s operating model. I’ve never worked in a place that had a “platform” that’s comprised of bunch of “product lines” and managed (for a lack of a better word) by a... — read more
Hourly Workers
I see hourly workers on here complaining about people working from home and wanting to cut people's pay if they do. I think they should go salaried and work OT for free like we do! We need to be one team on this!
In office 4 days Rumor
It's a waste of time being in office 4 days a week. Other than ELT going on a power trip it provides little value. It looks like they want to make employees as miserable as possible so we'll all leave. The clowns up top will go down in history as the... — read more
MediCal Leave and Layoffs
I have several employees I am close with on medical leave. What happens with employees on leave during a rom? Will they be able to apply for jobs? Will they be given a job when they return? I thought their job was protected?
Chevron to Spend $66 Million on Office Renovation at 1500 Louisiana Per Houston Business Journal Article Today
Well, gotta get those fancy execs some fancy offices, yep. And, just before we start laying off a whole bunch of people to save some money. Those to be let go will remember they were laid off to plush up the space for the execs. Love how they are... — read more
Finance Town Hall
Majority of the function will be moving to BA or Manilla. Tone deaf leaders went on for twenty minutes (to a crowd of soon to be sacked finance people) about how this is actually an exciting opportunity to save the company some money. Future CEO EB... — read more
Severance with transitional role?
If you are placed in a “transitional” role during a reorg, do you know if you will still be offered a severance after the termination date?
CES
Remember to do the CES and rate Senior Leadership badly. They don't really care but they need to hear it.
United
The employees should Unite and vote all our shares to fire ELT
4/10 Schedule?
Any insight on how to request and likelihood of receiving approval to switch from my current 9/80 schedule to a 4/10 schedule? I’ve known just a few people (mainly in operations) that have had a 4/10 schedule, and am curious if it is generally... — read more

oSTEM Conference in Portland | layoff
Some HR sycophant just announced that we are heading to Portland to recruit at an “oSTEM” conference. The “o” stands for “out” and the conference is designed to recruit “out” prospective employees. I can’t believe we approve travel budgets for this... — read more
New CIO LC
Other than that HORRIBLE town hall, where has this guy been hiding? Someone on here called out he brought in LM from GM and a couple days later HT sent out a personnel announcement on his behalf about it “make sure to say “hello” to him in Houston... — read more
Any news on ABU reorg?
SCM should go out first. Too many high level PSG’s not creating enough value to the org.
Is anyone actually getting promoted this year?
If so, to what PSG? And how long were you in current role / PSG? Seems like progression is going to slow to a crawl.
Severance Package
I'm hearing it could be 2 or 3 weeks per year of service. TBD
Possible Letter Leak
I want to address something critical. I've realized that I have developed an addiction to layoffs, driven by the thrill of cutting costs and restructuring. This behavior is harmful to our company and to all of you. I am seeking professional help to... — read more
Leadership Accountability
Will our management take a pay cut this time before laying off any employees? Will us average Joe's take the brunt of management failures yet again? I don't think people like MW or MN have a soul enough to do anything to help anyone than themselves... — read more
CVX cutting DEI programs
Get ready! In line with other large companies like Ford, Chevron is quietly walking back DEI programs and commitments. Expect cuts to DIO employees and affinity groups. Elevate was placed on immediate ‘hold’ last week with no plans to ramp back up... — read more
We are expats and I pulled this article out of my son's school news paper, "Chevron, Shifting Tide"
In a bold move that sent shockwaves through the industry, Chevron, one of the largest oil companies in the world, announced its decision to outsource its finance department overseas this week. As part of a sweeping restructuring plan, the company is... — read more

IT Jobs - CVX Engine
The timelines for IT cuts have been accelerated. Do not be thrown off guard.
Every reorg result in more mess
They can just stick to layoffs anytime they are in a pickle or don’t want to share profits. It’s simple, right up their alley given the leadership capacity to tackle complex issues, and it provides immediate effects. It’s always a problem in the... — read more

What happened to many middle to senior level managers? Instead of deeply understanding the business to drive improvements, they are focusing on chairing forums and delivering keynote speeches while our performance suffers. Rather than rehearsing... — read more
401k balances
Let’s hear em. Time with company and balance. I just hit a million, little over 16 years. I missed the pre 2008 pensions so I know I’m missing out on a lot but still pleased.
