I better see MW and MN in the office tomorrow regardless of the weather because we’re all BETTER TOGETHER!!
Everyone complains but nobody acts
We all talk a big game online about bad policies and layoffs, but then we just accept it quietly. No one organizes or pushes back in a real way. That's why management keeps doing whatever they want.
Can't rank employee as outstanding

My Take On The Chevron Vibe 2026
Chevron’s 2026 vibe reads like a corporate satire that forgot it was supposed to be fiction. Employees are watching leaders cash out stock, “future leaders” quietly plotting their escape routes, forced‑ranking systems dressed up as not‑layoffs, open... — read more
Chevron Culture 2026
I am not the OP but I agree, this needs to stay on top. The original is posted multiple times below. With nearly 15,000 views, it is definitely resonating with personnel. You don't have to be in HSE to know exactly what this poster is talking... — read more

Another round of cuts incoming? https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/chevron-plans-finalise-singapore-oil-assets-sale-q1-sources-say-2026-01-21/
Not us vs them
Remember it’s not us vs each other. It’s the have vs the have nots, or top vs bottom. The execs don’t have to badge in, they have dedicated offices, they don’t track hours, they negotiate their pay, and the list goes on.
Our future leaders are leaving
People I expected would be the next generation of leaders in IT are all leaving or appear to be planning their exits even if they appear to be in safe roles. I know some on here don’t care about IT but it’s going to continue to get worse as our best... — read more
Change Wanted
If existing employees want positive change why not give examples of how Chevron violates safety, policies, and procedures that are supposed to protect the work force. We all know if complaints are made to management they are covered up, buried, and... — read more
SETH
Will MW be man enough to answer tough questions from his completely demoralized and angry work force? We all know he's not amd will just take soft ball questions and won't speak about how bad morale is!
New PMP = Layoff without severance
I have it on good authority that those with the new forced lowest ranking will be fired at the end of the year. The genius move, is that this isn’t considered a layoff. So no severance is needed. May the odds be ever in your favor
CEO loss of Confidence
With Mike Wirth having sold off around $80,000,000.00 (public information/verifiable online) of Chevron Stock within the last three months...how many of us believe it is a smart move to wait for the next axe to fall? When our own CEO has lost faith... — read more
aEOI
Has anyone heard if there will be an option to express interest again to leave with severance anytime soon? That is with 2 weeks for every year of service?
Open Seating is Failing. LT has no ideas
The Turtle Response • A Harvard Business School study found that face-to-face interaction drops by 70% in open layouts. • This is due to the Turtle Response: when exposed visually from all angles, the amygdala triggers a low-level threat state. •... — read more
Unassigned start
How’d it go for everyone? I heard multiple times, “no, those spaces are for x-x team or person.” No they aren’t. We’re not saving you space b/c you’re special. If we’re doing unassigned, that means you too buddy.
Waited 8 minutes for an elevator today at 1400
This is so stupid. And it’s only going to get worse when they start upgrading the elevators, which involves shutting down capacity during upgrades. Based on the window progress at 1500 I think we are going to be living in this nightmare until 2028 at... — read more
6 Months of New Org
6 months into this new org and people still don’t know who is doing what. Continue pushing jobs to engine and watching it fall apart. Leadership silent on the disfunction of it all. I sure hope the current administration f*cake chevron hard on tax... — read more
What's Next
As the company continues to take MW after MW on the US employees, what's next? When will thr next MW drop on us?

13 people = 10 seats

differentiated performance

crop dusting
Since we need to have open no fixed space working spaces it is critical that we differentiate ourselves from other animals in the kingdom forced into harvesting pens. Let's ask our leaders for Chevron scented candles to at least remove the... — read more
When is the next layoff?
Now that things have settled down, we are fully focused on cutting costs. That’s all the LT cares about. With all the cost cutting there have got to be layoffs. The question is when? 2026? 2027? How long does it take for layoffs to come to us? ... — read more
RTO + Unassigned + No Offices = no longer worth it
All of these changes have made working at CVX a complete nightmare. I'll be taking my CIP and looking elsewhere. The worst thing is the gas lighting that HMP and Leadership throw at us: "Better together", "We benchmarked against Exxon - they are... — read more
Assigned Offices for leaders
how come they get one?
New ELT
Maybe for the cost savings we get a new CEO that is at the Engine? Would save over 30 million a year. Or let AI do the ELT job, cant be any worse that what we have now. We are wasting millions on our ELT now!
Who is resigning after receiving CIP?
I’ve heard anticipation of departures following bonuses this year…and I plan on being one of them. Already have the resignation email drafted, and as soon as that check clears I’m hitting send. Who’s coming with me??
It's a circus!
Shared services picking what they want to do, Engine revving up jobs (more job losses y'all), collateral damage, scapegoats removed immediately somewhere in S.E.A. while the head roams around Free-ly
EDD if choose not to relocate?
Job market is tough but if we don’t relocate can I apply for unemployment? What are my options? I’ve been looking for awhile but no luck.
Life insurance…
Probably not the right forum but…. I got laid off a while back and kept retiree health coverage and life insurance. About to be 65 and move to Medicare, thank God. I’m keeping life insurance however as the cost is pretty good right now. It will... — read more

https://chevron.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/jobs/job/Houston-Texas-United-States-of-America/Strategic-Workforce-Planning-Lead_R000068323 It’s smart that they would wait until after making sweeping changes to the workforce to bring in someone to develop a... — read more
Downward spiral
Next is time tracking… but again. Rules for thee, not for me.. Fk all the execs bringing this sht forward for control. It’s not about productivity or collaboration. It’s control.
PMP
Wait…so we’re going back to a single performance category with “5” differentiated ratings? Like 1, 2+, 2, 2-, and 3? Sound familiar?
Houston unassigned and RTO 4 days
Is Houston completely unassigned seating now in both towers? If so, brutal to absorb that and RTO 4 days all at once. How is it going for everyone? Strong reactions?
Unassigned work
Meeting literally started with ‘we know there are strong feeling, but try to have a productive mindset.’ Translation. We know it’s fkd but we don’t care. Get in line, worms.
HR We have a problem
These layoff instruction documents are like the Chevron incompetence gift that keeps on giving. Does HR do any quality control on their instructions? Maybe the layoffs/offshoring should have started in HR so they could experience their own... — read more

Ergonomics went out the window … RIP
Manila, Argentina, engine don’t have RTO: they are still hybrid. Why? What’s the point in the US to have a free for all “find a place” seating? New spaces are GREAT if you do not care about any ergonomics whatsoever. When are 1500 office workers... — read more
