Exodus in March
I am expecting all the "I can WFH forever" folks to leave in March shortly after the CIP. Anyone seen it already or doing it yourself? MKW loves it, no need for severance!
Poor Morale
For those in higher up circles, what is management doing or saying to address the morale problem? The trust issue was asked to MW and it was alluded its all due to WFH. Everyone knows this isn't true. Do they even care?
Uninspiring
I’m at 5years service this summer after joining post graduation as a petrotech. I’ve decided I have made a mistake joining Chev. This is not a “bad” company - it is just a company that doesn’t work for me into the future. The company has many... — read more
Is HR discriminating against their own in PDC's / layoffs?
I heard that HR is being looked at for discrimination in PDC's, can that be right? What good is it having HR representation in our PDC's when they are the ones discriminating? I also thought that PDC's were for helping employees grow, not layoffs. ... — read more

Applying for a job in Chevron
Makes any sense at this moment? You guys expect layoffs in the coming period? I lost a job in the industry last week, and am trying to figure out where to start looking. Thanks for any info/advice.
OPG Townhall Discussion
Let's go! Great music to start with. Good music to be laid off to.
Why does management keep saying we have the best people?
Does anyone actually believe that? We definitely don’t.
Do we need CTC subsurface ?
They think too much of themselves and continue to waste BU time and resources. Zero accountability for BU success and use us as a science experiment. Chevron is probably better off letting go half of them so they cause less trouble for the... — read more
How to survive
For those who survived rounds of layoffs before, how did you do it or why do you think you made it?
IT SFA "Resource Reassignment"
Who thinks the latest email from IT Talent management with code name "Resource Reassignment" is a euphemism for reassignment out the door?! I'll be looking left and right for signs of the shepherd's hook to pull me off the CVX stage!
Shared Service Center
Which organizations have shared service centers? Finance? HR? Procurement? Will they build a CTC in India?
Pushing RTO will lose good employees..
I did the math. It costs me $25 / day, $300 / month (assuming 12 in office days per month) to come to work for gas, tolls, parking, etc. All to sit alone in a cold office on Teams meetings, for the ‘cUlTuRe and ColLaBoRaTiOn’ smh… But thanks for... — read more

PSCM TOWN HALL
Any thoughts?
ROM Names
Who comes up with our ROM names? We had Transform to Win and now Leading Performance. I love the snazzy names that make me feel good as everyone is being let go!
What’s the minimum raise?
Myself and a few others I know got sub 1% raises. Less than inflation increase. Isn’t there a 2-3% minimum?
Leading Performance ROM
When will layoffs begin for Leading Performance? Anyone have any idea how much the cut will be this time? Will this layoff allow is to Win in any environment?
PSG change process
how long does it take to move to the next PSG ? Is it true that if you hit the median salary range for a given PSG, there's really not much of an increment unless you move to a higher PSG?

Do better!
Mike Wirth, this week in Bloomberg, “In 2023, Chevron produced more oil and natural gas than any year in our company’s history”. However, you, my fellow employees, got to do f$&@ing better because daddy wants a bigger yacht.
