Spill the Beans: ABU / USA Layoff Facts, NOT Winging or Gossip!

ABU & USA Layoff Summary – Waves 1 & 2

ABU Wave 2
• EOI-Only Adjustments: Across ABU teams, Wave 2 changes were minimal < 1% of staff affected, and only through EOI.

USA Wave 2
• Team USA Impact: No specific percentage breakdown per team is publicly confirmed, but no major WARN filings or Layoff.com traffic suggests significant cuts in the U.S.

ABU Wave 1
• ABU FE CVX Staff: Changes were limited to EOIs and performance-based PMP reviews. No broad structural layoffs reported.

• ABU Contractors: Wave 1 ABU FE contractors saw virtually no layoffs, consistent with Chevron’s strategy to retain operational continuity.

• As expected, very limited ABU in execution MCP changes (JIC, CO2 etc.)

• ABU M&R Teams: Wave 1 Confirmed 100% out of scope. No layoffs or restructuring reported for Maintenance & Reliability functions, deferred to Waves 3 & 4 in 2026.

Ref.
Chevron (CVX): Targeting a 15–20% global headcount reduction by end of 2026, up to 9,000 roles. However, only ~200 layoffs confirmed in Midland, Texas for 2025.

Final Takeaways:

ABU layoffs remain highly targeted and minimal, especially in FE and contractor roles.
USA-based Chevron teams have seen limited disruption so far, with no major layoff spikes.
Layoff.com and WARNTracker show low traffic for CVX-related layoffs in the U.S., supporting the notion that most changes are internal and performance-based.

If they do another round in 26, they need to allow everyone to out their hand up.

My function in ABU is losing 30%. Mostly through EOI because it’s a generous package and strong job market.

Crickets from SJV!

Have we maintained gender quotas with our layoffs, gender targets are a big deal hiring on ....

@OP that is complete horsesh-t, and if were the case, the ABU leadership would be trumpeting it from the rooftops. Jog on

Now the HR reps are targeting individuals for so called “ performance issues “ that target people for future layoffs.
The blood letting will continue as they reduce staff to hire in the great land of the “injun”

No there are more of them around now. Less employees = more contractors.

My team in ABU was cut by 80% … according to @op, that’s a lot of underperformers!

Troll. 7000 made up of left standing, AEOI, transition roles in Wave 1. Anyone who AEOI jumped before going through the farce of selections.

In downstream, there's a lot of transition roles and even EOI and left-standing people with a severance date that is sometime next year. Their loss is not visible yet. The 20% is intended for the end of 2026, not necessarily October 2025.

Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean large numbers aren’t being laid off. The goal from the beginning was to be vague on the real numbers in the US and to keep people in the dark about the true scale of the layoff

HOw about the PHD Ind1ans that add no value to any project and interject in meetings so they can charge their hour(s) and simply write papers and attend conferences = surely some of them are gone ?

I see team were cut, but people got jobs in other teams that increased in size. Overall, I do not see that 2 out of 10 colleagues left the company. Much less than that.; perhaps 5%. Might as well done some targeted personnel optimization without all this fuzz.

My team was cut by 66%.

@OP My team alone was cut by more than half. My colleague’s team went from 26 people to 4. (USA primarily between Houston and San Ramon). We’re already doing the same work with far fewer resources.

USA teams have seen limited disruption so far? LOL.

Too True Dr. No: I am pi---d off, reading this CVX layoff site winging BS
