Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Competition per open role

From the talk of people around me it sounds like it could be 30 to 40 people in some cases applying to the same role. Maybe more.

What have you heard?

if you're in CA then it's probably 100 people for 5 roles.

You can apply for my job. I got one Expects More. My boss doesn’t like me. Feel free to put your name in the hat. Oh, you have to live in Manila because my job is probably getting offshored.

Incumbents who have been high performers are all but guaranteed as long as their role stays in the US.

Jobs staffed by low performers, jobs that are moving to the center in the US from BUs, and new roles will be what people are competing for, and the competition will vary greatly from role to role based on PSG, desirability of the role, and number of people who think they’re qualified for it.

There are some teams that will be near 80+% moved to lower cost countries. So your numbers are not good estimates. They (management) are developing workflows and key skillsets for the ENGINE, etc., to have for new employees so they can take over jobs from the US. A large portion of job positions remaining in the USA will be transition jobs that will be maintained for specific timeframes, e.g. end date of June 30 of 2026. This will keep Chevron transition knowledge and will extend the layoff dates for people as they begin to look for jobs at other companies. If a person leaves voluntarily, then Chevron saves the severance but the employee can transition to a new position.

Given the time constraint and large numbers of in-scope people, incumbent workers will be heavily advantaged. If the supervisor doesn't like the incumbent, the door may be open for someone new.

My guess is that most positions will only have a primary location with no relocation options available. The people who will be in the most difficult position are those at edge locations, whose role won't exist on the new organizational chart. applying for positions outside their current location will offer limited opportunities.

@a3 that’s hilarious. The number of applicants per slate will be huge. They’ll cull and then create the short list which will consist of who they knew they wanted in the role in the first place. It’s all a time su-king dog and pony show. This will be a massacre and I pray for anyone who goes through it. Whether you get selected or left standing.

In the US,a traget cut [employee] is around 30%, so for every 2 jobs, there will be 3 applicants give or take, and one most likely can apply for 4 available jobs, now given that lot of jobs in the US will also be relocated to low cost centers and to India, the number of existing US jobs is perhaps 70% of current roles in the entire US, so your competition is perhaps 5 people for 3 open seats at best.

Haven’t heard that , I’d imagine will just depend on the PSG of the position, location relative to is it a desirable spot (Houston) or a spot in the Permian. Mobility is a pretty big deal for a lot of folks.
