Guys We all know that salaries and packages will be improved after this years record profit and Mike said this himself and he understands that they are losing people and the inflation is making it really hard.. We know that they will soften the... — read more 

According to rigzone we are now researching peanuts instead of having a well funded exploration program? MW has lost his marbles. This, and selling out of leases only to have other Operators make discoveries, will be the downfall of this company... — read more 

I would like to make some changes because I started to feel stuck here. I haven't made any progress in my career for a long time, despite all my efforts. And yet, it's not an easy decision, given that the grass isn't much greener in other companies... — read more 

I know in the past it was allowed (by special arrangement with mgmt and HR) to take up to six months off as a sort of mental health leave. Is this still possible? Has anyone done it lately? Was it paid or unpaid? Thanks!

How many of those who spend their days in meetings going through the same power points over and over again could we get rid of without anybody noticing (other than other PowerPoint warriors)? How much money and jobs that, unlike theirs, achieve... — read more

Anyone feel transformed yet?

Is “lower looping” a Chevron term? I’ve heard plenty of managers say that word and act like it’s something we shouldn’t never think about doing. It’s a stupid set of words. I like to sit around and complain, why do you think I’m on this board? ... — read more 

Just curious, know of anyone who raised hand in 2020 or so, and has since came back as contractor or other after a couple years?

HR is yet again revamping benefits. They are looking at some California models which allow unlimited paid vacation as long as you deliver your work on time. Apparently employees like this better and actually use less vacation while feeling more... — read more 

I was laid off back in 2016 and will have to transition to a Chevron Medicare Plan next year. I have just been notified that I will qualify for Medicare next year when I turn 65. What Medicare healthcare plan benefits do retirees have, if anything?... — read more 

I am writing this post to ask for recommendations and guidance on my situation described below. So I was one of those unfortunate letgo during Covid. At the end of the year, KPMG helped me with the tax return and declared that Chevron was... — read more 

Mike looks tired……and he’s saying the same lines we hear every town hall.

Things are going great, the management is saying we're safe, and yet everybody is still worried about layoffs and wondering when the axe is going to fall. Can't you enjoy a good thing when you see it? There'll be plenty of time to worry about layoffs... — read more 

Ummm…anyone else notice Chevron’s name in the Celsius Ch 11 filing as a “creditor”? Which means CVX: 1) was buying crypto and 2) investing it in what was clearly a Ponzi scheme. Feels a little Enron-like? I’d love to hear this explained. If you’re... — read more

I keep hearing management say no ROMs are in the future but I just don't believe them with the track record of non stop layoffs since MW took over. Any rumors out there?

With results as great as they have been, I'm expecting a lot of people who've been plotting to leave to reconsider their plans. I also think many are regretting leaving at this point. I couldn't understand before why people are leaving and it would... — read more

The deal looks great with nearly two years in the books. Is it a credit to Chevron's savvy or Noble's ineptitude?

I like the industry. Chevron people are generally easy to get along with. The work is fine. The office politics and bureaucracy is the same as any big company. The one thing that gets me to consider laying myself off is the leftist/globalist politics... — read more 

Both ExxonMobil (3%) and Shell (7-8%) are giving one time inflation bonus. Any idea if Chevron will do the same?

And another massive record profit. Pay Determination in January and CIP next February are both fixing to be REALLY, REALLY good!

I here from a very good source that Uncle Warren Bufet is VERY close to brokering the marriage of CVX and OXY, and that VH will ride to the rescue. We will get a real oilwoman to take us beck to promised land. You herd it hear first.

Easily what frustrates me the most is our detachment from the old Chevron Way mantra, "do a good job, grow the company, and you will advance". It's well documented here that 'doing a good job' has become secondary in Chevron to preferred demographics... — read more 

What % of the 2600 San Ramon-based employees opt to move to Houston? I think no more than one-third decide to move to Texas. No knock on Houston, I just don't think Bay Area residents want to re-locate their families.

How long does it take for an IT position to hear back from the interview on whether an offer is extended? In general, Chevron notifies candidate where an offer was not extended?
