Looking to file a class action. They know information integral to our decision on what to post for, share it with a select few, tell selective lies and half truths to the extent that this reorg is unfair and favors those privy to this information over others. Heard from more than a few that conversations with reps/job owners steer into way too personal questions in an attempt to disqualify us.
Don’t share too much, but if anyone knows of a specialty law firm to get started.
What a joke.
@OP you are proof that there really are people at CVX that need to be let go. Please do us all a favor and hit that EOI button.
Suggestions like this pop up every layoff round. If it was a winnable* case, lawyers would be contacting you, not the other way around.
One of many….
Army of lawyers. LOL
1996 Monsanto-Chevron Chemical Settlement (Age, Race, and Disability Discrimination)
• Details: This class-action lawsuit involved 43 former employees of Chevron Chemical’s Ortho Consumer Products division, who were terminated following Monsanto’s 1993 acquisition of the unit. Plaintiffs alleged age discrimination (along with race and disability bias) in the selection process for retention, claiming older workers over 40 were disproportionately let go. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) joined the suit, filed in 1994 in federal court in St. Louis.
• Outcome: The parties reached a consent decree settling the case for $18.25 million, covering lost wages, damages, attorney fees, and EEOC costs. Chevron Chemical (under an indemnification agreement from the acquisition) paid no part of the settlement directly, but Monsanto and Solaris (a related entity) did. The decree also required anti-discrimination training for supervisors, EEOC consultation on layoff impacts for workers over 40 and African Americans, and record-keeping compliance. A trial was avoided just before it was set to begin in June 1996.
• Significance: This was one of the largest early settlements involving age discrimination in a corporate acquisition, highlighting how mergers can lead to disparate impacts on older employees. Chevron emphasized its commitment to fair treatment and denied intentional bias, settling to avoid litigation costs.
Yeah, good luck with your bogus fishing expedition. There are valid class actions but that's not how it's done.
“ an army of lawyers”
Large corporations lose lawsuits daily. I know of many successful and lucrative ones.
No one is above the law. Lawyers take on these cases all the time. Do you think they would do that if there was not money to be made?
Please
It’s a nice thought but, if you don’t think that CVX (and XOM for that matter) have an army of lawyers that just live to ground any lawsuit like this into the dirt and bankrupt any one trying it, you are sadly mistaken
What part your NOT an offical Chevron Company did you not understand? Hahahaha! You do realize if you processed on bringing lawsuits to the company you will give us the reason to start counter measure on not just you! But the DEI itself. Do you really want to drag every DEI hired to be laid off earlier then expect? By all means do it! After all the recipients of past 40yrs of illegal activities you DEI have cause not going to end well for you, but the whole DEI itself. Good luck your going to need it. Hahahahaha!
ExxonMobil has a forced ranking system with 5 buckets.
The last bucket (NSI) was reserved for those individuals who were truly bad in years past.
A few years ago in their infinite wisdom the company decided that 6-8% of employees HAD to be in NSI.
The third time you are placed in NSI the company can for you. You can go ahead and figure you are not getting a raise in this ranking group as well. They also changed the rule which prevented you from dropping multiple spots in a single year. (New boss doesn’t like you…you can go from first to last)
We now have people being placed in this bucket and supervision can not even name one thing they need to improve on.
Oddly enough most of these individuals are over 50.
Sign me up
@a5 I have heard so many with similar stories. I do agree with OP that there are legally questionable tactics the last year and ramping up even more during the selections. I’d be interested in one
My selection rep wanted to know why I was targeting a particular timing to move to Houston. It felt like the SR was fishing for my retirement date, which is age discrimination.
