Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

10 or so things I hate about you

I hate the way the HR consultants talk to me,
And the way our teams have been cut.
I hate the way you drove our business,
I hate it when you stare at other operators with envy, sad that Hess was a mistake
I hate your big Permian mission-a-million promise, given Exxon doubled it with a better acquisition.
And the way you thought Guana would save our stock.
I hate you so much it makes me sick; (Same leadership in place, GMs and all)
It should even make me think I rhyme, but these mistakes don't.
I hate the way you think you are always right for wall street,
I hate it when you lie about future barrels, with no exploration budget.
I hate it when you make me laugh about Engine,
Even worse when you make me cry about its loss jobs.
I hate it when you're not around and using consultant to make new orgs,
And the fact that you didn't call or ask "Where's Permian moving its water?!" .
But mostly, I hate the way I don't hate you, Your Chevron and have always been the best company to work for with a Californian culture, but our relationship has changed.
And today it ended, you hired help to decide functional support and eliminated 40% subsurface in uncertain times of global unrest and potential war. Fall fast and behind and pray you don't get consumed. I hate you Chevron because you ruined it.

OP is having fun with the monologue from “10 Things I Hate About you”. Julia Styles. Heath Ledger. Joseph Gordon Levitt. It’s a classic!

Sorry that you are harboring so much hate. It sounds like you and Chevron don't have a mutually beneficial relationship. Hope things improve for you going forward.

OP waxing poetic and hitting all the high points. All true and hard to argue against. I applaud you for your wit and soothsaying!

Hess looking more and more like a mistake as you say.
And yes, using consultants to make these reorg decisions, instilling the same error-making goons at the top and then not making themselves visible. All so true.

It's a J O B. No company should have you writing poems about it. Go spend some time with your family and cultivating a hobby.
