I heard at SETH they’re going to “rally” us to come back to the office 5 days a week.

WFH. How can this joke still be running
@ek Darn tootin! it's a conspiracy of all them demented kids who want to go in the restrooms and w.ack their monkeys. that's it. you nailed it! they are dying to RTO and do that!
@fh Is it that you can get your work done in a small amount of time so you really should be replaced by a part timer or are you pouting like a baby and doing less work now because you didn't get your way? Imagine having a job that requires you to show up and do it to get paid. My the horror!
I can tell you when I was at 3 days at home my computer was always out ready to work and I would pop in get lost in work after hours. Now that I have moved to 1-2 days from home, my laptop doesn't hardly leave my bag.
“ If you’re job is in downtown houston and you chose to live in the burbs, man that’s on you.”
Wow! Thanks for that truly insightful comment.
Going to be funny seeing Chevron reinstate the hybrid schedule in a couple years when they realize they have lost too many of their best people.
TL; DR: It's not physically possible with the current configuration, and not economically feasible to implement before the 'modernization' project gets done.
They literally don't have enough desks/seating for everyone to RTO 5 days a week in Downtown Houston- 1/4 of 1500 is nixed for at least the next few months, and most of the remaining floors have individual offices.
While I'd rather take a roomie than go 'open plan', it's not really efficient to do all the furniture moving to double folks up for the space of only half a year or so.
Gotta love all the RTO folk down voting anything other than hopes for 5 days in the office. Y’all just want everyone back so there’s more people for you to go around and bother, go to lunch with, gossip at the coffee bar with, etc. all so you don’t have to do actual work. We know the biggest slackers and deadwood are the ones hoping for RTO full time. The only thing you can say is you were in the office 40+ hours, even through we know when you’re not wa----g off in the bathroom, you’re having coffee “touch points.” We get it, you hate your life at home, but there’s nothing stopping you from going into the office 5 days a week now!
Hybrid work isn't under threat, minus a handful of higher PSG managers who are being asked to be in-office four days per week. Hybrid scheduling is popular with workers and doesn't carry any significant cost to the company. If anything, it is a savings versus procuring additional desks and work spaces, plus it is an attractive perk for prospective employees. If CVX management thinks it is being abused of there's a widespread drop in productivity from it, it already has available means to discipline or terminate workers.
@dt+1jkp6k68n
I agree with you. I work 50 to 60 hours per week too.
Apparently the ELT think the employees in foreign countries will be taking care of the h-nhouse when the US workforce is reduced.
I can tell many of the people in the comments don't work inside a manufacturing facility. "Everyone's going to have work 40 hours and pull their keep"... ugh I work 50-60 hours a week when things are calm on salary. How is cutting 30% of the workforce going to improve that and now you want to get rid of all WFH??? If that's the case don't expect me to pick up the phone on the weekend.
Everyone that moved two hours away can EOI
Yall ever heard of the 9-80 or 4-10s? We used to work that. Very convenient for getting your chores and things done on your Friday off or a fishing trip. Oh, my bad, yall do that everyday, all day now! ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want on office on 150-11 with free Starbucks lady
It'll go to 4 days in the office first. That was announced. Some of our competitors had that policy- 4 days in office, WFH alternating Fridays, well before COVID and MS Teams.
Someone is "Full" for DJT!!!
If chevron where really thinking strategicallly what I would do is say no working from home if working a 9/80 or 9 day fortnight. That would really stirr the pot and get staff attention.
2 miles away and still a moon-shot for you to get a job
I live 2 miles away. I would like to work again. My qualifications and experience are extensive. Please understand there are many of us who are waiting for you snowflakes to leave. Thank you for leaving.
People will keep leaving Chevron in the future if work from home is not offered. There will be other companies offering it and work from home will become a perk for joining the company.
I will be happy to "Return to Office". On the floor I am assigned to, we do not have enough desks for all the people. If they want us to RTO, then they need to have a place to sit for us. Once again "I shall return.... " as Gen MacArthur said when he left the Philippines
@bf, So, you're going to keep on doing exactly what you're already doing. Umm K.
Im going on strike and not working until they let me work from home
@bc+1jkp6k68n. well no, not exactly. But they sure can insist that you do if you want to work for them and collect a paycheck. Otherwise, buh-bye, sweetie!
They can’t make me come into the office 5 days
That’s gonna seem like a minor thing compared to the other surprises we’ll learn
If it shall guarantee my job then I will do it. But it doesn't sound like it shall at all
If that's what our employees really do when they come to office layoffs should be deeper. How hard is it to understand you have a contract. You work Chevron pays and if you breach contracts you need to go away. Everyone would be back in the office and also back to a standard 40 hour work week. You re compensated well and are free to leave if you don't like it. What a bunch of pathetic complainers we have created by pandering to need for employees to feel happy
I come in 5 days a week. Other than me preferring to work in the office, there is no benefit for most people to come in. The people who waste time at home will do it in the office. I see them go to the gym, take 2 hour lunches (under the disguise of them being work lunches), walk around the office in groups and chit-chat, or play on their phones. The people who don’t waste time, at home or otherwise, will be productive anywhere.
@am+1 You had me at "I started back in Covid times". Please go start your own company and have the employees tell you what to do. Good luck!
Y’all are dewshes . I started back in Covid times and already they’re making us go to the office when we proved it’s a new world and we don’t need to
if you want full remote, offer to take a paycut in exchange.
@af+1 You have the right (and freedom) to leave.
@af+1 Quit…..please quit. Only an ID10T would think that.
After the reorg loss of 30%… maybe HOU will have enough seats?
I don’t think you all understand what this means! It’s a violation of our freedom and rights
I'd take that over getting laid off.
3 days in the office. Some groups are already 3 days in the office. Expect the timeline to be July 1.
