Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Most of our employees were in Asia. When those businesses were mismanaged and collapsed, our headcount did too.

Number of employees also lower than ever. So much winning. High five. Future is bright. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/CVX/chevron/number-of-employees

In some industries normal attrition is up to 30%. We are ki----g it.

When was the last time Chevron had 50,000 employees? Must be about 10 years ago

A friend asked me if they should pursue one of the open HR jobs posted externally at Chevron. After I told them about how messed up the HR leadership is and how they will have to one day apply for their own job just to stay employed, they said “nah. hard pass.”
Smart friend. Wouldn’t have been successful here anyway since they wouldn’t have come in as an entitled HRDPer.

She didn’t say zero, she said 3.5%. If we have 50,000 employees that is 7 per work day resigning so some of you are bound to know a couple. Most companies never achieve 10% attrition so 3.5% is definitely world class. Employee love Chevron.

Hmmm… attrition is “lowest in a generation” yet so many external job postings and lots of “last day at Chevron” postings on LinkedIn from mid-career people. Guess it all nets to zero at the very top, but at a function level, there are some areas that are definitely higher than normal.

RM. Please. Just stop. HR is a dumpster fire and people are leaving left and right, now even diversity employees are walking away (gasp!).
Being back in the Houston office is absolute torture. Same old politics and make-work and fire drills to appease the LT.
Was somewhat bearable when we were working from home but now we get to commute for an hour+ each way to witness the insanity.
I think I feel a medical leave coming on.

This just shows how out of touch executives are. HR house is on fire and she makes comments like this? Did she forget that HR was supposed to downsize by 10% this year. 8 jobs are posted externally because 15% up and quit after transformation (or went on full pay medical leave). Survey results were awful again. The message is that RM and her LT are dysfunctional and untrust worthy. We desperatly need attrition at the top.

RM needs to detox from all of her own coolaid she has consumed....no attrition issue.....how would she know she spends her life on LinkedIn

CTC supply chain loses a person every week

“We” don’t monitor anything RM. You (or your stellar Advisor) send your GMs scrambling and they in turn go running to the people in their orgs—usually a psg 22 individual contributor—for data that you and your LT are too incompetent to analyze or interpret, and then you bend said data to fit whatever narrative makes you look best.
So shameful.
No attrition problem in HR, though right?How many HR employees have resigned in 2022? And since the Transformation in 2021?
Please stop ly-ng to everyone and retire already!

Im always amazed that idjuts with MBA or legal degrees would work for Chevron. They are out to lunch.

It is only because petrotechs have nowhere else to go - cvx is the best of the bunch. But what about all other job families? IT,HR,finance, commercial ie people who have options to choose from. And what about gender and racial breakdown?

Global versus regional population-numbers will be very different. Nice try, RM.

Not in HR. Survey scores have never been lower and people seem to leave every week without a package. Hey, new reorg.........hands up for another round of EOIs, especially if your forcing me to move to Houston.

Now that's what we call cherry picking! Offer a big incentive to all who wish to file an EOI and then the next year say ... everything is great because no one (else) is leaving (without the incentive). No surprising at all, because folks who wanted to leave did, or a waiting for the next big EOI payout.

What you are experiencing is the outcome of the progressive way of thinking. You must destroy all history, culture, stability, loyalty, pride, optimism and sense of enjoyment. Everything from the past is bad. Past success was rooted in inequity, racism and privilege. Let’s all be miserable. Are we done yet?

Attrition is "low" in the company when you look at the data in a way to make it fit your narrative. When the company looks at regional attrition, the data may tell another story.

Plus, easy to say attrition is low when layoff events took place every few years (as noted by @aoa).

That’s because we’ve already laid off everybody in the past six rounds! ;)

Not in El Segundo. Must have been offset by the San Ramonians and Houstonians

Darn straight!

I'm not surprised. Where they gonna go?
