What is the exact reasons specifically for having everyone work from home Monday? Is it just they are worried about people going postal after being let go, people being safer with their families rather than at the office or driving home, or what do they not want us to see? Or what else is the reason??

I bet EAP is going to be busy this week
Email will be sent tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM, by the exception person who sends the wfh notice on the day after a significant windstorm.
Midland is WFH on Monday and Tuesday this week
I’m in MCBU and was told to work from home.
ABU is already on hybrid hours and working from home Monday and Friday. Which BU is asking this?
I'd rather be in office on monday so if I do get chosen, I can drop off my stuff then and there and not have to worry for the rest of the week. HR says drop off stuff by june 20th, I'm doing it the same day I'm notified.
@bg I received an email from my selection rep to wfh on Monday. I was on the email along with all others represented by them. However, everyone in the office and PSG 25 and below all already wfh on Mondays. So we're not changing anything from the usual.
Goodness that was a big paragraph with no new information at all.
@a4 How is it that you feel the need to be an arrogant a-s. The question was asked to understand if anyone had heard specific reasons. Reasons vary. Asking for further understanding SHOULD be what people strive for in business, and in life. Shutting it down by your shortsighted arrogance is what is wrong with this world. As well, your response shows you don’t have any insight to Chevron as no one has received a comm stating to wfh and you should have started with that to actually add benefit instead of the long-winded diatribe you proffered. I take it you never have questions. Pretty sure your co-workers voted you off the island first. Be kinder or don’t respond at all.
He-l no! We won’t go!
American jobs matter, we deserve better
It was a “rumor” that was strong enough for AG to send an email to leadership saying “THIS IS FALSE, TELL YOUR PEOPLE I SAID SO”
They want everyone to work from home so they can terminate you without severance for not enough badge swipes
If you have problems & thoughts at that level, perhaps you should seek help, professional, family members, etc. @ab. For real. It's just a job.
People can off themselves at home. Less mess than at office. Less potential for violence.
My group was directly told to report in next week and that there was no WFH
@a5 everyone but you
I think this is a made up false rumor
I haven’t talked to anyone who was told to WFH on Monday
They want to allow employees to have privacy when receiving potentially life changing news. Some persons could be very emotional, upset and cause a bit of a scene in the workplace, whether an intentional act or simply as a result of a natural response to losing their employment. Being at home gives you the time to process the news in a setting where others in the workplace are not directly affected. Avoiding potentially undesirable actions from significant numbers of former employees occurring in the workplace. Imagine a group of workers gathering together and staging a show of solidarity in rebellion to their employer, such as walking through the halls shouting out "he-l no, we won't go", etc. Maybe gathering at the entrance to the building repeating a slogan, "American jobs matter, we deserve better". Or just a single individual who takes the news very poorly and looses their cool and starting trashing the office, throws a chair through a window, or as--ults their supervisor. How is that you have so little insight into business concerns that you saw fit to ask this question?
