Anyone who works in HR is complicit in the same way Na-i collaborators during WWII were complicit and slave drivers in the US South were complicit. They may feel like they have no choice, but they are still enabling cruelty. They are not victims, or even bystanders - they are the perpetrators. Are they as bad as leadership? Could leadership do this without them? Maybe AI-HR will have a spine.

I am sorry to hear HR is kept of the loop on information. That is how it has been for the majority of us in the other departments. The ELT will eventually get their cost savings but the will lose a lot of information along the way because I know the 1st level and 2nd level managers in my department do not understand the workflows well enough to transition the workforce to India.
@w2 I meant when you go to call either group and get an AI robot.
@a5 you can’t just make these blanket statements that HR is a waste of money and that EAP is a waste of money. You sound like an angry a-hole. You have people from both of those groups that are going to be extremely impacted in this next half. See how big of a waste of time they are when you credit a call either group and get an AI robot.
@at 100%. As someone who is in HR, I can tell you that we have been kept completely in the dark. The communication has been awful and almost nonexistent. Any communication that does get shared is either stuff we already knew or can look up on the website (like 80% of the info in our town hall that we were so anxiously awaiting). Disappointing.
@at it's not just the top HR people who were made to sign NDAs, loads of us had to sign them as well.
So at a time when we most need support and conversation with our colleagues it has been pulled away from us.
To those people on here who are saying HR are useless, well enjoy working with AI and their human equivalents. I know I have done good and changed to people's lives in the many years I've been here so you do you and I'll keep doing the best for the people I support until my times up at Christmas.
I had a whole career at Chevron, but honestly never had an interaction with HR that was accurate. Going full AI will be a huge improvement if that is the path taken.
@a6 on the reorg SharePoint where they’re posting all the town halls
This is what happens when the leader running the show has zero international experience and even no Upstream experience at all. Her lieutenants are either way too arrogant to listen or very meek, hence blindly following orders. Good luck!
@a5 HR can’t push back at radical changes. They are a support organization, the business has to push back and be able to articulate their needs.
HR leadership is still among the worst in the company.
I actually disagree with the negative comments about HR. If you look at a previous post, HR is in the dark as much as we are. They have no insight into what’s going on in their own organization and the upper management is keeping such a tight lid on the information sharing. I think the top people have NDA’s and nobody else is able to Get the information that they need. Don’t be so quick to judge.
HR Trolls are Corporate Tools. They don’t care in my 25 year history they have NEVER helped. Consultants do all the work and HR just executes the orders, so when you call your HR rep for help, they have no idea, and that is why they don’t respond.
@a7 I used EAP several times and they helped me through many difficult times. I’m so sorry to hear this. This is terrible news.
@ae the timing is so sus. What happened to the Chevron Way? I don’t even recognize this company anymore. I know that business has to compete, but there’s also something that made Chevron special that is leaving
EAP is going away? So I should use it before it does?
I am retired but many many years ago my hR rep would fill out and submit my medical claims! They would actually advocate for employees. It was also a time when medical insurance as free to employees and deductibles were hardly a thing.
Remind me, what ever made HR good?
@a5 “the things that made HR good are going away”
HR is useless. Stop spending so much money on them.
Yes, they don’t care about us. We’re going to slash the organization and then cut out EAP so you don’t get any help. Makes perfect since
@a6 on the re org sharepoint
@OP EAP is good so is local hr it’s not there fault
Where can we find it?
Our HR was good? They didn’t stand up for us when we asked for transparency. They just folded. They didn’t push back at anything of the radical changes.
