After being here a few years myself, I'm curious about the perspective of people who joined more recently. Do you view Chevron as a company where you can genuinely build a lasting career? I think the expectations are just different now than they used... — read more 

When will we pass this painful kidney stone called MW?

Trump's White House meeting of oil execs on Friday to discuss Venezuela just showed the massive difference between Exxon and Chevron. For starters, Chevron's CEO didn't bother showing up, which was an absolute disgrace. Second, when the press was... — read more

And it's by design. I almost have the feeling that they enjoy making us jump through hoops, throwing all kinds of obstacles and inconveniences at us just for the heck of it. Productivity and performance be damned. Losing top performers, because they... — read more 

I have come in the office every day this week in Houston. My co-workers in finance located in SR have not come in the office one day this week. What gives?

(original post is 11 down) I have worked for three companies before this one. Each had its flaws, but each, in its own way, understood something basic about decency. When I came to CVX, my fourth, I was told, again and again, that the culture was... — read more 

Welp, looks like another ‘rules for thee, not for me.’ ‘Select’ leaders will have assigned spaces for ‘business continuity’ It would be bad to give them a widdle inconvenience. Poor babies.

In 2026, which job roles will be eliminated or reduced in the US and staffed in other (low cost) geographies? Scrum Master, RTE, Product Owners, Analysts? Interested in opinions here.

I don't want this post to get washed away by Chevron's HR Trolls. Please help keep it alive and post your thoughts here or on the original post, 8 down.

I’m really struggling to adjust to the no assigned seating. It’s really awful and a big downgrade to my quality of work life. This + 4 days in office has me seeking new jobs away from Chevron. But I guess that’s what the wanted

Not many mentions lately, is that a good sign?

What's the chance of another re org after Wheatstone TAR?

If you look at performance metrics over the last 5 years, we haven’t been number one in any of them compared with the other LTIPs. In most instances we’re in the middle or at the bottom. Can’t help but chuckle when MW, MN, and the other ELT members... — read more 

I just perused my LinkedIn and noticed yet another Chevron contact is moving on to Exxon. This has to be the third person in a month and I don't have a ton of contacts. I don't think I've seen anyone make the move to Exxon before from Chevron (I'm... — read more

For those who are managers what is being said about the absolutely dismal state of rhe company and the rock bottom morale? Productivity will be at an all time low as no one cares at all anymore.

Checking in! How is RTW Monday? Who else is ready to find something less archaic?

We’ve been shedding truly skilled engineers like there’s no tomorrow. I’ve lost several exceptionally talented people on my team. It really boggles the mind.

Is there anything positive at all for US employees at this company outside of having a job? I know the boot lickers will all say be thankful you have a job and accept gratefully every crumb they throw to us, but there is literally nothing to me to... — read more 

It looks like Chevron will be the largest benefactor of the change in Venezuela. The only company that stayed after Chavez kicked out all the other companies. Will those companies lay claim to their stolen assets? Thoughts?

Just wondering if anyone will continue to hold CVX stock in their 401k?

The hybrid model was amazing. Assigned or unassigned offices the hybrid was still better. There is no logical reason to go more days than 3 per week. I find the change to be very disappointing. My days at home were days to get things done and I... — read more 

Heard that Chevron might be going Exxon way and implement Stack Ranking. How does it work? Does it mean bottom 10% or people they don't like are let go every year?

There was a time when working here meant something. Now the dominant emotion is exhaustion. Pride has been replaced by fear and trust is all gone. Whatever made this company special did not survive the last few years.
