Time to stop drinking the blue cool aid. Chevron would happily offshore or turn every job tomorrow an AI agent tomorrow if it would bump the stock price 1/2%. Our core competencies are Wall Street FOMO and slow following tech bros culture. Time to stop deluding ourselves that this company values or appreciates employees.

Couldn't agree more, @be. During that time employees were still required to show up at the office and actually do the jobs that they were hired to do - like it has always been at Chevron. There's a big difference between that and today's work culture.
@cr: I agree, I started in 1983 and took the package this year. It's always been a rollercoaster of layoffs. The only thing that has changed is the amount of whining. The whining gets worse with every layoff. The last 2 layoffs have been especially bad.
@cr
No, it hasn't.
That focus has increased drastically since around 2000.
Immediate and perhaps fictitious share price gains
at the expense of the long term health of the company.
Oddly enough the US debt increased just as much.
OP: It's always been about the dividend and stock price. Nothing has really changed in the last 50 years. Chevron is a great place to learn new skills to make yourself more attractive to other companies. Company loyalty is long, long gone.
@b4 that’s fine. No more midnight work calls from home for me then… if productive work can only occur between 9-5 from a hot desk in a homogeneous office tower, then that door swings both ways.
Ahhh, an insight into MW's decade of impact on Chevron. So far removed from "Chevron Way" of 15 years ago.
Yep. Those here that managed to graduate high school will recall
Newton's Third Law of Motion.
