I'd be willing to bet 90%+ of people severed are thriving and happy...also, based on feedback from peers that stayed with CVX, we dodged a big bullet and got paid to do so.

Hess had the best lunch cafeteria ever… Big, big kudos to the chief and all kitchen staff!

Did you double dip and get a free Hess toy truck while also taking a picture by the Hess truck before it leaves forever to New York? How are you feeling after the Churn? Was everyone civilized or was it as dramatic as Rose in the Titanic?

Everyone has received the news, the significant majority will be leaving in the next 1-10 months. Most have come to grips with the verdict, some have not, and most are slightly bitter about the lack of plan the executive leaders had for upholding... — read more

With the surprisingly prompt sale of the Malaysia-Thailand JDA, what are the odds that Chevron already has a deal in the works to unload the Bakken assets (production and midstream)? Logically this would be an efficient way to quickly cut ~1,000... — read more 

Wow! Did they just gut offshore leadership?? Is chevron planning on installed their own leadership?

I'm curious what other transitional role folks strategy is. Having been through this before and a really tight job market, I personally am going to try to network my way into a new role long before my end date. I know June seems a while off, but it... — read more 

And a lot of “transitional roles” .

The 2 shady Chevron people that came to our town hall last week lied to our faces when they said they spent months talking to Hess leaders about us. It’s quite obvious to everyone that performance was not considered in the selection process.

Background: started my career at Chevron. Elected to move onto a public E&P that was subsequently bought out. Observation 1: It's actually a solid labor market right now for people who have worked for independents. There's a bias that they have... — read more 

Talked to an employee at Hess. Chevron only kept two people from the entire GoM offshore team. Looks like they opted to keep DEI hires as well. I know several folks laid off at different times with Chevron and if you are a white male you stand... — read more 

My blood pressure has been through the roof since all of this started. I'd give anything for it to be over as soon as possible, just so I can go back to normal. Even if I'm laid off. I just can't stand being stuck in limbo anymore.

Best of luck to all.

But I’ve started treating it as if the outcome is already set. I have a feeling that not many of us will still be here once the transition is complete. It’s been a good run at Hess, and I’m grateful for the chance to work alongside some truly... — read more 

All the decent Noble Energy people couldn’t take that CVX mess and left. The good Hess people will do the same.

Chevron employee here. Chevron preaches about transparency, kind but direct, and “focus on what you can control”. But at same time, Chevron leadership asks its employees not to reach out to Hess. Workforce reduction, large system implications, teams... — read more 

Converting technology and combining employees from both companies would take a few months, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth had told Reuters in an interview last week. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chevron-cuts-575-jobs-houston-194311258.html

What are your thoughts on the G&G team? Ops Geo?

We’re all just cogs in the machine. Easily replaceable. Not much use to other companies with the skills gained at chevron

Things weren’t working before. Maybe this will bring some positive change. Yes, not all of us will make it through the whole thing, but if those who stay are in a better position, then it’s not all bad. It’s hard to face this kind of uncertainty, but... — read more 

I'm a bit anxious, to be honest.

Plenty of folks want to get out of this place before the changes kick in. Offer them a decent package and they'll jump at the chance.

Us Chevrons got an email that said, “don’t talk to Hess people.” If you have questions I’ll Do my best to answer here! Welcome to the sh-t show.

We'll be squarely in the crosshairs now. Not just because of the higher paycheck.

Trying to update my severance prediction analytics tool? How many of our 1800 raised hand? I think 300ish.

Hess just had a townhall with CVX high ups. It was mentioned that Hess is being considered for the new CVX go forward plan. The previous poster was correct….Hess Force coming to steal the CVX jobs.

Hess to open EOI program this week. Why now?

If you’ve been here less than 5 years and find a job, jump immediately!
