One of the best. The speed at which we managed to go from there to near the bottom is astounding and should be studied in schools as an example of what lousy leadership can do to a great company.

Just spoke about this as work! Tons of people whiling away their time and crossing fingers to continue till next big layoff. Toxic work space being referred to everywhere. Was such a great company to work in and now unrecognizable based on new HR / new org / new structure of confusion and more so awful awful awful middle management that are brown nosers to ineffective upper management.
The number of people pleasers and friends of low value retained is shocking. Years of experience have left us. Nowhere near retirement age. Set loose by reps who are poor managers themselves.
Fearful of what is coming along. It’s a song of poor choices.
@df Look everyone, I found MW's burner account!
Chevron ceased to be a great company since 2018. Its a cow being fattened to sla-ghter.
I joined about 20 years go, and yes it has really changed for worse in past five years. Employees have become head counts and not an asset to contribute to growth. I think it is leadership that has lacked vision and over influenced by consultants corporate jargon.
LOL, OP still has butt-hurt over being eliminated by a smarter and harder worker!!! Hahaha, you a fool!!!
I’ve lived through some lean times in the last twelve years at Chevron. The pension kept me focused. Now that I’m watching colleagues be cut years short of a pension goal that they worked so hard for I am no longer fooled. I’m looking for another job and will get out of here as soon as I can. They have shown their cards to the entire company and everybody’s eyes are now wide open.
"Studied in schools"—the very institutions that continue to produce short-sighted consultants he-l-bent on hollowing out corporate America. The only response in their imagination in response to inorganic "growth." It has already been studied and nothing will change.
Once I realised how trash tier Chevron had become, the prospect of layoffs became much easier.
It is not the same company I joined 15 years ago. Not by a long shot.
