Lots of reductions in safety stuff. Seems scary? Is it a good thing?

Does anyone else feel like the company is turning a blind eye to safe work practices in order to save money and finish projects more quickly?

Our building in NJ has 3 out of 5 floors being demolished, and all of us need to show up every day and breathe the contaminated air, odor, asbestos, dust and hazardous materials.
Why they make us take so many classes to deal with emergencies when they create those themselves.

How come nobody calls the NJ OSHA?

Close down NJ, call us back when all the work is done,
all the ducts, and filters are clean.

I just heard about the terrible accident in Portugal, and this line from the article struck me:

“there's a lack of people with a good memory and who learned from their elders.' 'All of those people have left'

I think this is very applicable to what we are doing in Chevron, and I hope and pray we will not have any incidents caused by inexperience and loss of seasoned professionals.

Who else strongly feel that company HQ should fix their entrance + parking chaos first before calling more professionals back to office?

The single 2-lane entrance the is crossed by walking construction workers is frustrating/dangerous in the morning.

But leaving is worse. That merge as taking a right past the exit gates into a single 1-lane exit for 50ft is absurd for a F500 HQ campus. No wonder the parking garage gridlocks up to the fourth floor as teams all exit at the same time. Simply install a second exit to the main street.

Remove the big speed bumps that slow the sports cars down to .5mph. Leave the 5 smaller bumps for each set and that will help smooth the flow of traffic in the morning. Mirrors around corners would also help as they have designed pedestrians walking into elevators right by a vehicle blind corner.

This is common-sense improvements before calling back more people RTO.

Is this true?

“Safe” emails will not be sent until after business hours Tuesday. This was confirmed by a DL, and my senior director.

Have any HO areas received this yet?

Ford has significantly improved product quality. Our 2025 initial quality is on track to become among our best ever, and Ford was the most awarded brand in the recent J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Initial Quality Study, with four Ford vehicles topping their segments.
The increase in recalls reflects our intensive strategy to quickly find and fix hardware and software issues and go the extra mile to help protect customers. Ford has more than doubled its team of safety and technical experts in the past two years and significantly increased testing to failure on critical systems in current Ford vehicles such as powertrains, steering and braking. Insights from this testing are being incorporated into current production.

We are making progress on software quality, using an enhanced software validation process to help ensure the right software is present on vehicles and using over-the-air updates to address potential warranty issues before they become customer issues.
Modern digital safety systems require new talent, tools, and standards. Ford has deeply invested in those capabilities like connected data signaling and dramatically increased testing on all new products across broad variations in customer use.

In applying these new standards, we can and do find issues that exist on earlier model years, including ones that have not even been reported. We will not compromise our responsibility to all our customers, not just those buying new vehicles.

We believe this approach will lead to systemic and lasting positive change and help us reach world-class levels for quality, safety and customer satisfaction.

Unionizing is about empowering workers to have a stronger voice in their workplace. At Chevron, as skilled engineers, we drive the success of the company, yet many of us feel that decisions about pay, benefits, safety, and working conditions are made without our input. Unionizing allows us to negotiate as a collective, ensuring fair wages, better healthcare, improved safety standards, and job security. It’s not about being against Chevron but about ensuring that we, the workforce, have a seat at the table to advocate for our rights and well-being. A union is the most effective way to ensure that the value we bring to the company is recognized and respected, while also fostering a workplace where everyone can thrive without fear of retaliation. Together, we can build a stronger, fairer future for all employees.

Anyone?
