Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

@fw i genuinely want to say thank you for giving 100% of your time. You’re literally the reason why things still somewhat work. Unfortunately you’re also the reason why I’ve been giving it 30% for 23 years and I’ve managed to stick around and move up while still milking the fat cow.

Honestly we need people like you, that have integrity and don’t feel right taking advantage of corporations so the rest of us can kick our feet up. Not everyone is made to play the game and make tons of money, but everyone plays a role. The idea is to learn where you fit in the game. If you don’t like your role, change it.

@dq the post ended too soon what’s the secret

@b9 then leave. You’re not a victim.

I’m still getting a good paycheck from Chevron. If they let me go, I’ll still work 100% until the last day. Will I hate it? Yes. Will I do the right thing and give my complete effort. Yes. Will I absolutely drop names on here and watch them burn the day after I’m let go? Yes!

Those who have been successful in multiple layoffs know what to do. Here’s my secret:

If it’s taking too much of your mental health just quit.

You’re still being paid . Come in, give it your all, go home.

The biggest problem at Chevron is identifying all of the fake work that's in the workplace. This fake work probably makes up 50% of the work, but identifying it should probably be left to an AI algorithm so has to avoid human bias.

@c1 I bet you put in lots of hours at work, thanks for keeping the lights on, everyone is proud of you. We’ll remember you when you’re gone.

"burned a few years from your life expectancy" Ha HA HA HA Ha!!! What a pathetic drama queen. Seriously? That's what you got? You're lucky to have been hired at all with that much of a snoflake attitude. It's obvious that some here were not cut out for working at a major corp. , maybe not even anywhere in a professional environment. Maybe retail is more your style? Fast food?

@am that’s fair, but how do they pay you for the mental toll it’s taking on you and others? The lack of transparency has easily burned a few years from your life expectancy or at the very least caused enough stress that it’s cost you time which equals $$$

@a5 i put on work when im paid for that working. It’s called integrity.

Focus on relationships and hobbies and ignore work and any responsibilities, like the last poster said. So, basically, don't change anything, keep on pretending to be working just like ever since you hired on, lol.

It’s definitely hard to go on with business as usual, but I try my best to have all of my base business. It helps me to stay grounded by focusing on the things that I can change. I can still do my job to the best of my ability after all, I am getting paid well to do my job currently. I also focus on enhancing my away From Work life. Doing things that make me happy and focusing on relationships and hobbies at the end of the day, the company is doing what it needs to to stay competitive. The way it has been laid out. This time has not been ideal. The communication has been horrible and it’s taken way too long so we’ve had extended periods of knowing that something “terrible is going to happen” but not knowing what exactly will happen. Hopefully Chevron will learn from this and realize that the impacts on safety and reliability are real because human beings can’t turn off their human nature and become safety robots. I think we should all try our best to stay positive and hope for the best. If your job is eliminated, then you’ll just do your best somewhere else. It might be bumpy at first, but eventually, you’ll be OK.

Wrong attitude, bub. You’re out the door if that’s your approach.

Performativism is back in full force. Smile. Act busy, and happy to be there, if you can reach down deep enough to find the inner psychotic in you.

It's a circus act, leaders asking for all sort of information, improvement plans, it is as if some leaders trying to out do one another. It's a nonsense, and worthless. Those left behind with the company will have to deal with such stu pi di ty we call leaders

The drain on Chevron is that every time there's a major layoff, morale and productivity are negatively affected for a year before it actually happens (like now), and for another year after to sort through all the new organization and "transformations", "re-imagines", etc.

Doesnt matter what you do now, they already know whos going to be here so no sense in putting any work until you know the outcome.
