Consequently, I've checked out. I no longer care if the reorg affects me or if I end up jobless. I came to terms with the fact that I could be laid off at any time, reorg or not. It can happen regardless of how hard I work, how dedicated I am, or how good my results are. What I’m focusing on now is avoiding drama and doing as little overtime as possible. That way, when my time here is up, I’ll have no regrets.

I have always enjoyed working and produce the best value I can because I am motivated by my own goals and don't depend on imaginary carrots provided by management. Chevron pays well and has great benefits, so many people that are complaining on this website are compensated well but they are unhappy for other reasons. Possibly a lack of opportunity but I am not sure.
I am happy working at Chevron and if I receive a position in June, I will accept the role and continue working. If I am laid off, I will look for another job. I am not trying to be the Dali Lama but happiness comes from within and depending upon Chevron or another company to provide happiness or fulfillment is a mistake.
Chevron is just a place to work during our lives.
@az yes indeed. God forbid someone actually work hard , is dedicated and produces good results.
Can't have that.
- how hard I work
- how dedicated I am
- how good my results are
These points are what drives people to become mediocre. This is a common problem in the corporate world. The only good outcome of this layoff is some of the managers are finally being culled. The inbred management teams have led to the decline of Chevron as a company. Now Chevron ELT can hire inbred Indian managers and get the same results.
That's the reality of working anywhere, now is when you realize it? I'm glad I get a year plus in advance notice of a potential layoff, continue to do my job well, and survive it like I've survived 6 plus them since 2002
OOh you poor Baybe! We all feel soooooo bad for you schnookems
OP, take a break from listening to The Smiths.
