Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Don’t be a cockroach

Train people in India/Engine.” Translation…”here’s your rope, now, go make your noose and when training is complete we’ll meet you at the gallows to hang you.”

This company and its current CEO has NO MORALS. If you’re fooled by the old days when Chevron was a reputable and excellent company to work for listen up! Us old guys can alert you young guys to the dangers that lie ahead. They will cut you off before your official retirement.

Use Chevron to job hop. If you don’t know what that is, learn on TikTok. Use them just long enough (2 or 3 years) to make starter money and get experience, then use that to land your next best job with higher pay….and do that 2 or three times to get your salary up so you can make really good money during your most productive years. Do this while you’re still young enough to get enough years in at a good company that has a history of allowing people to retire and collect a full pension. Chevron now has a pattern of eliminating the old guys once they’ve properly trained their replacements. I know, I was eliminated in their last round of layoffs and now in this latest round I’m watching really good people get eliminated, while they’re too old in a really bad job market in the US, to get rehired. They did it to me and I never got rehired. Retirement doesn’t look for me anything like I had envisioned. DO NOT believe for ONE SECOND that that pension will be paid out to you for a “full retirement.” It’s a carrot dangling on a stick to keep you hopping. Do not give them your best income-producing years believing in that pension!!!!! It’s as disgusting as a man who divorces his wife after their last child turns 18 so he can avoid paying child-support and only have to pay alimony. This is NO DIFFERENT. Don’t be their bi--h.

If you quit by 35 or 40 you can still get part of your pension and you’re young enough to use your Fortune 500 experience to launch into a company that has a better history of allowing it’s pensioners to retire with dignity. Chevron now has a trend of “restructuring/reorganization” every five years to hire cheaper workers and cut off pensions. If you’re over 50 at Chevron you are “in scope” for elimination. One way or another you will be ELIMINATED just like a cockroach.

@n9 My thoughts exactly. I should be relieved but I have a sinking feeling.

Train everyone that asks anything about any task, how to do it with joy and intensity....the incorrect way!! Don't let them steal your hard earned knowledge and skills.

If I had a transitional role, I’d take every opportunity to let them know how much you make in the USA. Sow that seed of resentment.

They do this in small batches incrementally so no one will notice and they can avoid employees banding together to collectively sue them. All the currently employed old guys know their necks are on the chopping block. If you’re over 50 at Chevron take this time to find another job so that you’re not left devastated a few years from now. Everyone in HR knows that they are going to continue to eliminate systematically. Layoffs will continue until they complete their ENGINE in India and are ready to vacate the US. Oil companies have been offshoring American jobs at a consistent rate and will continue to do so until they have gutted the entire oil industry employee base here in the United States.

With offshoring and layoffs on the rise, if this round didn’t get you, another one down the line likely will.

I was thinking about just this recently. To optimize your Chevron experience, stick around for 3 years and bail. The pension is a carrot that more and more people will never get.

@OP Thank you. All of this is so true. If you’re paying attention to the LT messages, you know this is not a company to invest your time and they will not invest in you.
