Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

If you need to be in the office to know if someone is working the manager is incompetent and does not know what their employee is supposed to be working on. It is just insane control freak stuff.

You must not be working from a shared space, because for some of us RTO is a waste of time.

@3voq Yeah, you need to try harder while at the office. Grow a pair and tell someone you're busy and might have time to chat later.
All you complaining about going back to the office, what did you do before the pandemic? WFH? I dont think so.
Everyone wants to sit around and say "We have proven work from home can be just as effective as working from the office"...WRONG!!
We have proven that we can get things done while working from home, we are not "as effective" though...period!

"Oh well, now I have kids to take care of, we home school" Again, wth were you doing before the pandemic?
You aren't the first ones to ever have children, take care of your business and quit whining. Adapt/Overcome

And honestly, if you don't like the current environment...leave...there's plenty other jobs out there that might be better suited for you. Remember, you work for Chevron and although Chevron wants and will work hard to create a great working environment for us all...the bottom line is, we work for Chevron, not the other way around.

@3voq, One word…. “Wrong”

No, most employees aren't shareholders. Options don't happen until 26 and they just started giving out RSUs to top 30% of each psg 23-25, which normally is 200+ based psg. Hardly enough to make anyone actually care.

Aren't most employees also shareholders? I sure am.
Why would you want your net worth to decrease?

Guys I want to make.moneh for the shareholders

“Please give me your cube number, I would like to tell you about my current medical conditions.”

Absolutely! It’s at CHVPK, Building A, 4th floor (says MW on the door). Meet you there. 😂

Why is anyone even still talking about RTO? We’ve been back in the office for almost two full years now.

Please give me your cube number, I would like to tell you about my current medical conditions.

@OP+1qERPU5v: I disagree with your statement about the “daily ease of interaction.”

My experience has been that coming into the office subjects me to MULTIPLE utterly USELESS interruptions under the guise of “collaboration.” The fact that we are SO easily accessible, and some folks CLEARLY lack good judgment, leads to unnecessary disruption, whereas one might think a bit more before cold-calling a fellow employee.

I understand that the water cooler chats it can help to strengthen relationships, but we need to work in the office JUDICIOUSLY. Please STOP with the “drive bys” unless you have a LEGITIMATE business reason to interrupt your colleagues (and, no, telling me about junior’s star basketball game is not a good reason; and, also, I don’t give a flying fig about your [insert: kids, pets, significant other, favorite hobby, latest vacation, etc.].

I know I’m being a bit harsh, but Jesus H. Christ on the cross, I just wanna get my work done without mindless conversation. At least when I work from home I can focus and put myself on DND and avoid random calls. When I am in the office sitting in an open space cube, I am a sitting duck. Even if I manage to convey that now is not a good time for a chat, and I get you to finally leave, you’ve already ruined my concentration. What is the productivity cost of being IN the office, and why don’t we talk about THAT for a change?

They will eventually end up with government employee types to come to work for the hr they are suppose to be there and do nothing. I can perform my job anywhere in the world with a cell phone with reception and an internet connection.

When is this secret email calling for all employees back in the office suppose to come out. They have been prepping people for long enough for it

"I believe the company is more productive when employees have to work in the office. "

ROCE the last two years and PB's "You all su-k" email say otherwise.

Let it go and just wait for the next plandemic.

The person who cut and pasted this from another thread trolled all of you and likely doesn't work at CVX at all. The ones guilty of abusing the system who do nothing all day but ride on others got their pa-ties in a wad and responded.
The axeman is long overdue.

The he-l is wrong with you?

The OP obviously works in HR. They could disappear for years and no one would know.

I can't hear you as you are clearly too far up corporate's an-s.

Written by someone in commercial real estate.

OP is clearly reading off the official HR script...

why this thread again?? just comment on the zillion other ones already on the same topic, with the exact same comments.

Be less concerned about badge tracking and more concerned about the location tracking pings by your laptop which you can’t turn off

Did an office building write this comment?

Monitoring badging and productivity are separate issues that have no correlation. I’m looking forward to declining meetings requests before 7 and after 4, 3 days a week. Apparently, making sure we badge at an office is more important than adequately supporting the business across time zones and globally. I’m thankful for the opportunity to create boundaries for real work-life balance.

Lol okay bro.

Its sad that Chevron has to resort to such drastic measures to weed out obviously bad employees.
