Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

warming a chair in the office not gonna matter if you work hard or not. India still cheaper. If i do no work at home I can do just as little in office.

RTW is a demoralization tactic.

@a3 well dah? Who told you its not? Mom?

Not sure getting angry and throwing toddler insult is a positive to persuading most that WFH unsupervised is better then the office.

I've been with several companies (major, independent, now consultant) and at none of them have I nor anyone else that I work with sat around dwelling in jealousy and misery about any of the CEO's, leads, department heads, etc. about how good they have it vs. us lower level employees. Maybe an occasional joke is all. But nothing like here. They all have fancy cars, homes, a lot of assets etc. Of course they do. Wouldn't you? They all do things we don't like. Not sure what the deal is here with the constant whining about such things from current CVX employees. Is it the lack of real world experience, lack of common sense? Why dwell on something you have no control of? This is the private sector. Those positions are not elected like public offices. You don't like/respect/agree with the leads/VPs/CEO, move along to someplace new like any other self-respecting employee would.

Ask yourself what is happening with modernization of space. Nothing. That’s right. Good old MW doesn’t give a fu-k any more about ya’ll so he’s gonna force people into unassigned seats in space that has not been set up for that configuration. If you think we’re in he-l now just you wait. Meanwhile that fu---r has perks galore. It is starting to feel like a let them eat cake environment.

Having a job at all is even finer than complaining like an entitled child online all day about having company perks or not.

Working from the office is fine. The open concept is terrible. Ask BP, Shell and others. They all hate it. I have not spoken to a single person that is on board with the open concept/ flex seating. The whole idea of not having a place to call home and keep some things, even if a cubicle, really stinks. Not to mention the whole sanitation issue of sharing keyboards and a mouse every time you go to a new seat, possibly most of the time. Someone deserves to be strung up by the toenails for this stupid idea.

Opening an office in India is the same as a remote office like the cannon. It’s just another place people can sit but my team is not allowed to sit in the cannon. We must go to the emerald towers and check during the week.

The problem is that for some (like @gg) but not all, working from home = not working 100% and they are upset, butthurt and triggered that they finally got caught and the company may not tolerate it now or not nearly as much. Time to put your big-boy pants on kiddies, and learn how to show up on the job and work for a living! Chop Chop!

Wow, we have some real brilliance here at trying to stereotype and guess the age/employer/status of other posters on this thread. No wonder CVX is struggling.
Swing and a miss. Don't stop, though- keep us entertained and laughing. LMAO!

@g7 Unlike overpaid, incompetent boomers like yourself, mooching off the Chevron te-t, who could not get hired as dog catcher outside if they tried, we can do both the Chevron job (thanks to inept "team leads" as yourself), and an outside job, for an extra paycheck(!!) and still do justice to both! You on the other hand ought to listen to your conscience for a change and hit the EOI, and make way for people who actually do work and add value!

@g0, If you have all these great skills that are translatable to any sector of the workforce as you put it, then getting let go should be no big problem for you and you should rather welcome it and look for greener pastures. Good luck and Buh-bye!

@d9 There is no loyalty in case you missed it. Nobody gives a fu-k anymore about Chevron. We have skills that are essential and can be translated to any other sector of the workforce. You're probably a useless boomer who can't figure anything out at home anyway and desperately need assistance in office to get anything done. Or worse, an insecure good for nothing team lead that has to clutch desperately to some level of control. Worthless sc-m.

Not sure it can be any clearer then dropping a casual $1BIllion in India, moving from historically key office locations to then layoffing another 10,000 that you best get into your OFFICE and prove your worth. Lol.

@cp, because you're not entitled to all of the conveniences and luxuries that you have at home, in fact, you're not entitled to a job at all. But do carry on with your dreams, needs and wishes for your ideal utopian employer. Meanwhile, they'll show you the door.

@a4 The two aren't even related.

@an why would you share a restroom with a thousand other dipsh-ts like you, when you can be more productive and stay sanitized and healthy at home?

@b8 exactly. This.

All you id--ts that complained at every town hall over and over again that you can work from home sealed it. If you can work from home then India and Manila can do it for 25% of your cost. Good work snowflake pa----s.

“ No worries. You will all be replaced by Indians. ..and you can stay at home all you want.”

That has worked really well for Boeing.

Work from home or working in the office makes no difference to me. Either way I’ll be slacking and making money to top it off. I count commuting as work hours as I’m on the phone talking to clients or slacking in meetings. Life is good.

It looks like many are more concerned about being able to pretend work from home in their socks and PJs than about actually having a job at all. Get over it. If you don't like any form of supervision or oversight, then try starting your own company or go to work for yourself as an independent contractor. Let's see how that works out and how much business you get.

@OP and god forbid you try to make a phone call to do something productive during the 90 minute round trip commute! Absolutely rediculous. The whole world uses cell phones safely to make calls in the car, but mama Chevron says not. This one policy alone makes your commute/in office days as massive waste of your time and increases stress.

The company gives zero sh!ts about your wellbeing. Commute and household chores are your own problem to figure out. If you’re complaining about not being able to WFH now, just wait until they cease hybrid and return to 9/80 with required in office Mon - Thu.

@a4+1k3x4eam0 Thinking about it that way you are 100% right. The nature of people is to think they can't be replaced, but as I was told a long time ago we can all be replaced. It has now become very easy for us to be replaced by much cheaper labor overseas, etc. If they can get someone at a fraction of the cost to do our jobs overseas remotely that is much cheaper than paying the salaries in the US. I like working form home as well, but it seems when we do it then it just supports your point of view. I am sure Chevron would let us all work from home if we took at least a 50% or more pay cut. Believe me someone in Cheron is thinking this way, and already have the proof most jobs can be done remotely.

If it can be worked out of the office then it clearly can be worked overseas.

You fell for it. Thanks for proving that it could be done.

It's all about control not efficiency
