If we get nothing else out of the re-org in progress, we must eliminate these horrible Chapters. They have added no value and simply confuse everyone with excess matrix and overlap. They destroy accountability and most are led by the weakest... — read more 

If you’re an employee from a recent acquisition (e.g. Noble and such) what’s your thoughts on Chevron (culture, leadership, anything). I’d love to know an outside perspective! I’ve been with Chevron most of my career and I really don’t know anything... — read more

I know this is not a layoff topic but need advice on how to address a manager who is exhibiting signs of mental health issues (possibly bipolar). In recent months my boss, who had been a high performing manager, has begun to display very moody... — read more 

Some engine impacted folks have already been notified. Badges data has been shared with management and troublemakers have been contacted. Things are getting serious. They will delete this thread as well because they dont want any truth to come out... — read more 

As restructure and layoffs are on the horizons, what exactly do Platform Technical Managers (PLTM), Release Train Managers (RTE) and Product Line Managers (PLM) do? I am NOT saying they’re not important or don’t contribute to delivery work, but I’m... — read more 

CNBC posted an article a few months ago called "How Walmart, Delta, Chevron and Starbucks are using AI to monitor employee messages". I'm curious if this will be used for sentiment analysis, using metrics to make determinations for stuff like ENGINE... — read more 

I’m relatively new to Chevron, and have no idea how it works here. In my previous company they only cared about your pay and whether you are on the brink of leveling up. Those they could make the easy cuts with were always first to go. Nothing else... — read more

Any news how they are going to handle Hess employees ? They have a higher compensation package, they will just keep making more?

Significant re-structuring coming. NOJV-ing material parts of the DB in particular. Headcount reduction of 30% expected. We just can’t COOP like we used to.

I would appreciate any insights or theories on what the SLM email means to FE, OPS, and Maint. Kind of sounds like letting the fox watch the h-nhouse, but maybe it’s better. I sure do t believe BM will step up or even rock the boat.

I’m not sure what to make of the SRS email. Any insight or theories on how this affects the folks? I don’t think BD has the ability or will to protect them.

I’m curious to know what the bulling is like in your BU? Have you EVER had a good outcome from a complaint before? Has chevron EVER done anything tangible?

Any concerns on Duvernay sales

Looks like we brought external hire as Engine IT head. Canary in coal mine. Same will happen for all departments and all our jobs will move offshore. Let the hunger games begin

I hear that hundreds of people have been selected in the latest org chart. Should I be nervous that I have not received a phone call? Are they going to do quick cuts then LDs cuts in 2025?

I’ve been with Chevron for around fourteen months now, and I can’t help but wonder if I should even be worried about being laid off in the coming round. I've seen it mentioned here and I’ve read in several places that companies often target older... — read more 

Is there a way to receive severance in multiple installments? A friend of mine, who was laid off a few years ago from Exxon, mentioned that severance payments often fall into a higher tax bracket and the final amount you actually receive ends up... — read more 

I find it laughable that they are sending health and saftey to India. They have a great track record with places like Union Carbide. Also they are definitely great at emissions control that's being sent over there. What an embarrassment MW and MN... — read more 

Moving this back up to the top. This is going to be the next most significant layoff in terms of timing. Prove me wrong.

That’s what we are, yet we pay millions to the so called “leaders”

Be sure to max out the life insurance. If you dont make it through the layoff you can always fake your own death!

It’s not just the India news or San Ramon HQ move... What hasn’t been shared is that we will move half our jobs to low cost regions. India will take a some time to build up. Buckle up for moving your jobs to Philippines and Argentina within the... — read more 

When will bb retire?

Next week. Marriott downtown. Your jobs are being sent to India.

With the BU’s merging into a mammoth called OPG, what’s to make of it? Seems like a lot of mangers will soon be slicing each other’s backs to compete for a chair. What about the lower PSG’s? There’s got to be some forthcoming overlap. I smell a... — read more 

Hi, I know Layoff is generally a rant place and sometimes, rightly so, but serious question, why all the negativity towards MW? Some of the good he’s done is he didn’t overbid for Andarko, I think he gave up his bonus along with some of his C suite... — read more 

Can someone honestly explain the logic?

Why in the world are we hiring? And who in their right mind would accept a job at a company that's about to have major cuts? Make it make sense, please.

Hearing it’s gonna happen.. but the new haircut/arrangement in Guyana is the question. How are folks feeling about it? T-minus 7 months…

Watched it, can’t understand what it’s about.

Maybe management needs to learn this before they completely destroy the company with layoffs and outsourcing for short term gains: Stakeholder capitalism is a business management philosophy that requires companies to consider the interests of all... — read more 

Probably too early to tell, but any thoughts on the new (reduced) HRLT?

Musk is having people drop in at the home of those calling in sick to verify they are not at the casino or on vacation. Is this the next process improvement fad? I hope not as I use 100% of my sick leave every year to supplement vacation days. In... — read more
