Has anyone else noticed the IT Horizons leaving at an insane rate? I can name over 10 horizons employees that have left in the past 2 months, and I've noticed that the only horizons employees left are under 3 YOE. I'm assuming management knows and doesn't care, since they are not taking any steps to stop the attrition.

“You’ve got people saying, ‘Now that I think about it, I have a BULLSH!T job,’” says Joseph B. Fuller, who coleads the Future of Work Project at Harvard Business School. That’s one of the reasons he and other economists have seen white-collar workers, including those in tech, looking for new jobs in the last year. Fuller calls this phenomenon the Great Reconsideration: It’s not a total opting out of the workforce, but a reappraisal of what tech workers can expect to get out of their next job.“ AMEN

We could, we choose not to pay that
we can't match the salary package and benefits of tech companies. period
Horizons can be replaced in no time at all. There is a line at the door to get in.
Now if we could get most of HR, particularly leadership, to leave en masse...
Unsubstantiated rumor and gossip is all, good luck with that…
It will be foolish for any young, hard working, and competent IT person to stick around in Chevron
Good thing we’ve got this digital scholars locked in. They’ll save us.
Be careful what you ask for outsourcing to Gupta. The quality is not good at all over there.
They will be replaced by Gupta Patel in Bangalore for about 1/5th the cost.
It's a win for the company.
Chevron should not care about IT at all. We are not a tech company. We are an oil and gas company. Why do we need anyone from IT besides to create new places to force us to store our digital files at and force new systems onto us. It worked fine when we used the O: & C: drives.
If Chevron would be truly flexible then more people would stay. I personally don't want to deal with the long commutes to have some locker room talk with people.
Most of them are taking higher paying jobs where they can work virtually in the new frontier: The Metaverse.
Times are a changing. Are you?
Not much management can do. There’s a lot of great opportunities out there, those employees know they will never retire at Chevron, and they can most definitely see what’s on the horizon for O&G.
