Chevron announced plans to slash the global workforce in February in order to cut costs and simplify the business. Since then, Chevron has come under more pressure, as its license to operate in Venezuela was revoked and its planned $53 billion acquisition of oil producer Hess hangs in the balance amid an arbitration dispute.
The company previously gave notice that it would lay off at least 600 employees in California effective June 1, according to a filing in March.
