MW has been making the circuits in the media trying to act like an American Hero. His legacy is already "The Layoff King". In one interview he said he wanted to be remembered for balancing priorities. He only balanced his own checkbook and sold the future of Chevron and its employees to do it!

He needs to put a few more snowflakes into the crypt
@eg 😂 he’s turning into the crypt keeper
that’s what happens when you are a heartless S-B
Omg at 65, MW should just retire already! JW exited looking young, MW is visibly aging faster!!! Not good on TV.
optics
window dressing
@b1 A Montana Ranch and California mansion and Pacific Grove mansion and who know what other get aways don’t run themselves—he can use the board income tax to help maintain his lifestyle and will likely have his own private jet. Plus he’ll have to start paying for his own personal security. You know that in Houston he misses the private elevator he had in San Ramon.
@b7 MW is a 10x better CEO. The only knock I have on him is he wasn’t aggressive enough during COVID. He bought to far into the “Green washing”.
The kingdom building that JW allowed is the reason we are in this situation. The company never should have hired so many people in the first place. The culture at CVX is embarrassingly lazy and over staffed. WFH multiplied the lazy ten fold. Hopefully those of you left will get with the program and deliver some results.
@c1 Has CVX ever brought in a MCP on time and on budget? Given the less than stellar track record, the market should have priced in a blow out on FGP.
NH bombed out on his own. I know from personal experience with him. He was out of touch with reality on FGP (only the biggest project in the company). So we told the world it was on schedule and on budget … when it wasn’t. When it became known the stock took its biggest one-day drop ever. Ever. There was no recovering from that.
He and MN will definitely be remembered as American traitors! Thanks for sending all the jobs to third world countries!
@b8…NH didn’t leave because of MN. EB became the heir apparent so the writing was on the wall for him.
@ah the one internal candidate we did have NH was forced out by MN in the hope he will get the job.....man's a joke
@b2+.....yes....until MW became CEO
We don't need a financial wiz or high profile person to be CEO. Get someone with common sense and a focus on finding, producing and refining oil in a safe manner. Get back to basics and the rest will follow.
So true. How quickly people forget.
@an JW was the worst CEO this company ever had.
@ah He’d do directorships on other companies if he needed something to fill his days. He has accumulated generational wealth at CVX, a couple of hundred million dollars - twenty million a year times ten plus years - so it won’t be because he needs the dough.
balancing priorities
John Watson balanced priorities, MW, has not a clue.
He’s auditioning for as many Board of Directors appointments he can get post retirement. Since we don’t have anyone in the pipeline who can step up to the CEO role, look for someone coming from outside.
