Lump sum or annuity?
What’s the better option for the retirement pension…lump sum or annuity? And if you aren’t yet 60, is it worth waiting until age 60 for the disbursement or just take it now and accept the reduced discounted amount? Thanks!
Another Layoff and Outsourcing?
I truly think if we do another major layoff with a fancy name like "Transform to Win" will set the company up on a path of destruction that will end this historic company. We have already cut to the bone in some areas and sending jobs overseas is... — read more
Death by a thousand cuts

What is happening
So MW pushed out PB who was supposed to be the next ceo. NH is pushed out too. So now we are left with losers EB, MN, and JG. This company is going down.

Is the Richmond Refinery for sale? I doubt it due to the recent half a billion dollar settlement paid out to the city, however I am wondering what the language behind that deal is if the Company no longer owns the asset. Also, anyone understand the... — read more

I was hoping to be let go
I have wanted to leave Chevron for a while now. There were few offers on the table, none of which I found particularly attractive. I was ready to leave even without the secured job. Seeing where the job market is going and the overall economic... — read more
Clean the house
Start with MW and then see where you want to stop. Clearly shows we have no plans. Analysts are downgrading our stocks. Market is looking weak, it would be bloodbath in 2025. Only thing that keeps oil price from falling is war with Iran. Looks like... — read more

Peak Chevron?
Have we passed Peak Chevron? When I joined, it was an ever growing, ever bright future with Chevron expanding in both relative and absolute terms. For lots of reasons, some internal, some external, that no longer feels like the case. And if we are... — read more
Learn from competitors and skip a step. AI vs offshoring
I believe this recent offshoring goal is meant to take advantage of more cost effective and highly educated labor force. It may take decades to get expert intuition without actually working in the field or near where the competency is. I believe this... — read more
Doing Business the Right way
In the elevator banks on one of the TVs it was talking about Chevron does business the right way so we expect 3rd party companies to do the same. Is doing business the "right way" include outsourcing American jobs to India? Does it include not... — read more
Chevron Security Disaster: From the Conference Room to the Backroom
The security leadership under PB seems to be steering the company straight into disaster. There’s a growing sense that former FBI and Law Enforcement employees, who are now part of the company global security team, are acting without oversight. Many... — read more
Fire the wirthless
The reason Board can’t says more about leadership pipeline than MW. What a POS this company has become. Latest move to copy Exxon’s strategy without its culture is going to end up being something that will lose multiple Billions.
HR moral issues
I have never seen in my 10-15 years moral this low. So many high performing PSG 22-25s talking about leaving and hoping for EOI. 5 valuable HR employees have just quit in past 6 weeks. Tons more are coming as opportunities for growth are gone. ... — read more
The truth about Exxon’s India office from an ex-Exxon employee
It’s an offshore BPO office. They do menial, repetitive tasks. They don’t do any kind of strategic work that requires critical thinking, they are effectively human robots that do work that probably should have been automated in the first place... — read more

Do we really expect full-on RTO?
If it happens, it will just be another attrition strategy. At this point we should all see ourselves as redundancies easily removed and, if needed, replaced abroad.

Chevron Recruiting in Israel
In this morning’s recap, they featured a recruitment video and LinkedIn page for operations ramping up in Israel. This seems very insensitive and appears like an admission of $$ created by the events in that region. Sickened to work for a company... — read more

Anyone remember the outsourced help desk disaster circa 2014?

It’s not motivating to work for a company that’s falling apart
If I’m going to be abused, work overtime most of the days, suffer toxicity and some insecure and incompetent manager, if the job is going to eat most of my time and energy, let it at least be in a company which is going somewhere. I’m instead ashamed... — read more
Fire MW!
MW is out of control with his destructive behavior. His extreme outsourcing push is the latest. He is to blame for all the problems he had. We allegedly were going to Win in Any Environment after his massive layoff. How's that working? I guess we... — read more
