Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Do not trust fellows

After leaving Chevron, I learned the hard way that you really need to be careful about who you trust. Even people who seem very supportive, offering to help with your resume, connect you to Society of Petroleum Engineers committees, review papers, or ask about your job search may not always have your best interests in mind.

Please protect your information. Don’t share detailed resumes, job search updates, new company plans, or paper drafts unless you fully trust the person and understand why they need that information. Keep things professional and limited.

Chevron fellows are now diversity picks, have been that way for more than a decade. Most are egg-heads who never leave their lab or office, probably the worst people to seek job advice from. If you go to SPE or AAPG you will find your Fellows are tier B or C in terms of name recognition, if even that.

Not just the fellows but the way the new PMP process is designed and the new corporate goal to move the employee positions to foreign countries, there is no reason to trust anyone.
The best approach is to keep your mouth shut and do the best you can on the things your boss identifies you need to do. The will be no reward for individual contributors in the future. The managers are being expected to implement the new foreign employee plan. Unfortunately for Chevron the management does not have the capacity to identify the workflows. Without the knowledge of the technical individual contributors the implementation will take longer.

I heard a conversation regarding some new Engine resources stating the legacy workforce made big mistakes with decisions and implementations of major design decisions. I laughed with the USA workers because the new Engine staff are slready making mistakes by not taking the time to understand the history and evolution of the design. I love to see the basic human mistakes being made by the “new experts”. It is these types of human errors that will slow the transition to improvements.

This is by no one any where's wildest stretch of their imagination unique to Chevron. It seems as if whenever an issue like this is identified the typical chevroid makes it all about
Chevron as if it's something only THEY do and they are always a victim. lmao. Get over yourselves, people this is any major corporation and will be the same almost anywhere you work, in fact sometimes much worse. Good grief.

@ae yes, they can. But not only this, they share it with Chevron as well so they can be aware before you submit an abstract to block it.

You cannot trust anyone at Chevron. Especially anyone who is remotely associated with leadership!
