In past reorgs, there was some cutesy name for cutting folks, Transform, Accelerate Downstream, etc. I have not heard a name for the current culling. Anyone else?

No innovation, no clarity, no leading performance, just leadership enjoying the sound of their own voices
Chevron gave the re-org an internal code name "OMW2FYF" (On My Way To F*ck Your Face).

I think the powers that be intentionally didn't brand this one so people couldn't talk about it in black and white terms like they do when there is a name. I'm certain some consultant told them that if they name it, it becomes something the worker bees can rally together against. Now it's just a nameless, faceless enemy that is more nebulous to be angry at.
You lifers don’t realize how ridiculous it is CVX has branded these in the past…then again performative jazz hands is our company culture

But seriously there is a shark connection
"Project FAFO" was already trademarked so they decided not to pay another couple million bucks to McKinsey to come up with another. Cost savings bonuses for all involved!
Maybe Chevron is laying off the branding team

The purge
Evolving IT is a joke. They're just creating the same management roles, renaming it to fancy technical leader titles. All the same agile, platform stuff BS in 2020, and oh btw let's throw in AI there and Engine! From transformation to evolution.. so innovative, really?

Devolve IT is more like it

The end.
The consultants have not told the leadership what to call the layoffs...fancy name will cost about $2mm in consultancy fees.
“Evolve IT” for IT lol
DEIR short for DEI rollback.
