What percentage of Houston IT will remain in the next 2 years? 50%? Less?
Make your guess at how drastic a change this will be.
Or for any other BUs or engineering

It won’t be just IT. Every job will be impacted unless you are physically turning a wrench at a wellhead. The job losses will happen over several years as you have to train your replacements. Good luck.
Inside from lead perf team saying only 500 IT left in 3 years if results promising.
Exxon fired many IT and offered them jobs with a third party company to do the same thing for less ot and benefits. Most quit but some took it. Was strange. They left on a Friday working for Exxon and on Monday came back working for some company I’ve never heard of.
So by end of 2025 we’ll be where our competitors were at in 2022-2023…real inspiring
This will be the most epic sh!t show in the history of Chevron sh!t shows.
@dop+1u6gaIm7 best comment ive ever read on this site
3500 approx It jobs
so if 600-800 through 2025....that's out of what total? How many IT jobs does Chevron have?
IT is looking at 600-800 jobs to go Low cost in 2025 and couple hundred in 2026.
Congress won’t help you. They are behind all this.
If you are tired of this stuff contact your congressman. Only way this stuff will stop some day:

100% next two years because it takes along time for the company to do anything! You have time people!!! Congrats
Based on my experience, no jon is truly ever safe especially over the last 15-20 years. And the reason for this is the business environment: it together with technology and the market keeps on changing so companies change with the times. Every position I've ever held withon Chevron no longer exists - and this might be the case with most people. So the best strategy is to change with the times. Financial advisors keep on telling us to diversify our 401K portfolio - same goes for what we do. If after N years we still do what we do without any changes then external change will be imposed upon us. Employees need to pursue and explore all forms of development from the mundane like learning Excel pivot tables to the significant like moving to a different PDC. Some of these are painful as we are moving away from our comfort zone but its a must. Still no guarantee that you will survive a reorg but the chances are way higher than people who have been doing the same thing over and over throughout their career.
Stay close to the well head. Heard that 17 almost years ago and still true
Subject matter experts who have deep knowledge in one or multiple assets will stay. Everybody else will be in the chopping block. Some will be sent to India as expat to inculcate the Chevron way (di best) in the engine daily curry.
@wqc, in one brief section of the faq, there is a phrase about jobs close to the field that can’t be staffed by ENGINE. Closer to the wellhead…
I think this will go beyond IT and eventually they will outsource all Corporate Functions. At some point in the US there will be no professional jobs left unless congress does something about it.
My question is whether there's any types of jobs, psgs, or BUs that are more safe than others.
