Nigel is sounding very CEOish. Can’t wait for him to run the company.

Something about us has changed but I can't put a finger on it. Not so long ago we were among the best in preventing fatal accidents, and it seemed like we had a good feel for moves to make. Now it appears that we are among the worst and have lost... — read more 

Just curious hows the promotion frenquency within the company? Heard that some people stay on a grade for over 10 years! Anyone would like to share your promotion experience?

So people talk, of course... and it seems that the biggest beneficiaries of salary increases and the expanded LTIP are people who constantly post on Workplace, attend multiple D&I meetings every week, socialize (that is, suck up) with "mentors" at... — read more 

Those that got the expanded LTIP this year (obviously I wasn't one of them), how did it work? When do the RSU's vest? How many shares did you get? (% of salary?) Do dividends accrue? Tell all.

Format PSG, Salary %, CIP Amount Also anyone know what the floor was?

Anyone here ever been to Kazakhstan, working for TCO/Chevron? How is the work, co-workers, camps, etc? Most jobs look like 28/28 rotation. Pay looks good, weather looks cold.

Folks have been predicting peak oil since the 1960s, but new technology has always pushed the date back: secondary recovery, deepwater drilling technology, fracking, etc. In the last decade, however, conventional reserve replacement across the... — read more 

Bare Minimum Monday’ is the latest workplace trend hitting productivity The newest trend joining the likes of quiet quitting and resenteeism involves putting in just the bear minimum of effort on Mondays.

I'm a new cowboy at Chevron and was curious what it was last year? My man and I was hoping to get a decent amount to go on a men only cruise.

Any rumors of layoffs after a low and disappointing CIP? I know contractors are being let go throughout the organization.

The only HR department in the industry that can actually tell you where to drill!

I’m not talking about the whole company….I’m talking about HR. The rest of the company is above average, but HR is world class and I’m proud to call them our own!

Sooo...the new San Ramon office is costing us $150MM in CAPEX?! What do we get for that kind of money...at a LEASED facility? And for just the hundreds of employees who decided they didn't want to relocate to Houston. Seriously. Source: internal... — read more 

Compare $2.1 Billion for 2022 CIP payout for 2022 with the $75 Billion buyback MW announced. Mr. Wirth, a CIP of 1.6 would have resulted in a total CIP Payout of $2.5 Billion. Aren't the employees who work to enable you to make these earnings... — read more

There is still hiring happening and there has been zero credible chatter about any RIFs being planned. Call me naive, but I chose to believe that means we're safe for the foreseeable future.

What should our effort be in 2023 after the low CIP?

I bet Mike personally pays his inner circle $100 per DOWNVOTE comment.

This is what they think of us! They know we’re suckling at the teet. Too brain washed to leave. Too cowardly to call their bluff.

Very disappointing CIP. Looks like MW will be keeping most of the major money for himself. After all he has put his employees through this is all they give after a major year. I guess they think cuts and who knows layoffs are the big rewards!

Those of you who saw MW’s scorecard post on “work”place for CIP and saw yellow for opex… you know a main driver of that? It’s because they paid a higher CIP last year compared to plan! Disgusting that is even a factor for the following year CIP. Not... — read more 

I added up the numbers and we have averaged 6.8 deaths per year since 2004 (farthest back data I could find) at Chevron. I’m not discounting the tragedy of death by any means, but shouldn’t our safety score be a positive (or at least neutral) this... — read more
