Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

MCBU is a joke

Are we seriously having the same people decide the reorg structure and outcomes who got us into this mess in the first place!? With all their goofy ideas and non-value adding positions they created over the past 3 years to only give them another chance to fu-k it up? What’s concerning is their leaders are too far removed to realize their incompetence. They’ve just built up their kingdom around them of like minded friends so everything seems fine. It’s no wonder we keep going through this cycle and I know every knows who these 3 individuals are without me saying it, keeping us down from really being competitive in the Permian.

I heard someone from RBU called out Manager in a meeting not too long ago when she started to lie about how great MCBU is. Good for him we, need much more of that and gives us hope out here.

MCBU was the best place in the company to work pre the 2020 layoffs. Frontier play, rapid learnings, creativity, management engagement with technical work via deep dives and all driven by creative dynamic Asset Managers/leadership. These managers actually knew the business, cared about their people and spent time on development. But as with all success in Chevron it just led to wave of wannabes and ambitious lightweights and the current cesspool of mediocrity. As a 10 year employee its obvious chevron does not learn from either is successes or failures.

Wait until someone finds out that the second bone spring is already being depleted by the wolf camp wells.
Then we will laugh really hard..

When UCR became trendy in the company, all the high-pots and cronies gravitated to MCBU. It was (is) a recipe for disaster, which is what we see unfolding in front of us. MCBU will be reduced to a bank of computers doing AI to determine well positions.

Every person I’ve talked to from MCBU warns not to go there because of a culture of self-promotion through backstabbing. As a new employee I ask for advice if I ever do get assigned there and it generally is along the lines of “don’t let anyone know what you really think and trust no one.” Sounds like a great culture.

What's unfortunate the makings of this started years ago when experienced personnel were overshadowed by political affiliations, making managers based on who they could snuggle up to regardless of skills.
