Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

@OP Just let you know, a person in a group, moved from California to Houston 14 months ago. Was cut, no job, eliminated the position. Now cannot afford to move back. When the next wave comes in 2 years. What will project 2030 look like? Will they sell Richmond or dismantle it or convert it. HQ gone gone. What else would be on the chopping block? Think ahead--what industry is growing and people are happy?? consider going there.

@ey chill dude. We all know what eoi means and how it works. At this juncture, no one will be denied on eoi request. They want us out specially the ones in San Ramon!

"Take the EOI"???? That's not how it works. EOI is a request by the employee, you should know that. The company will decide if you will stay or go and yes, if they keep you, no severance and you would have to quit to leave, and with no severance.
"Expression Of Interest". Why is that so hard to understand. It's ages old.
The ultimate decision is not yours to make. You're just putting your name in the hat is all.

I left a few months ago and can’t help being attached to a great company which doesn’t exist anymore though . Such a big loss for the company and a sad ending to talented folks who were loyal till the last moment

OP good decision to EOI and leave. Chevron will continue to layoff people as they restructure over the next 3+ years. Why would anyone uproot their family and move to Houston, then go through the stress of the next layoff and possibly get booted in 2027?
Go now and restart your life on your own terms.

On the fence myself at EOI’ing, looking out externally but only a few positions asking for a 1/3rd of my experience (Engineering fields) , so pay level is not promising. Current strategy is to not EOI, if I get a Houston job then I will delay the relo as long as possible, but at that point apply for anything. Will relocate as a financial bridge, so my family will stay here and I will travel back until something comes up. Chevron simply does not pay enough for my husband to quit for my career, plus he has his whole life here. We are at that the life stage where expenses are at peak, but will fall off in 5 years (college !). One teen still living 100% at home, but can manage her own. … to ))$& with it ! after writing this I think I am going to just EOI.

I was initially planning to try and get a job but as the process has gone on and we've been treated worse and worse I've realized there's more to Life than the Golden ball and chain of Chevwrong and I'm going to EOI.
Probably a moot point anyway as my role has almost certainly been eliminated and any new roles will be two jobs into one.
Even HR have no clue what is going on this week and our managers have completely checked out from teams unless it's to discuss your work handover and have you signed your compromise agreement yet?

I am in complete suspense over how many Wave 2 jobs will allow for people to NOT live in or relocate to Houston or Richmond. I have a feeling that people in Salt Lake City, El Segundo, and Pascagoula are sc--wed.

@ab that’s pretty cut and dry. No pondering necessary.

Mine’s not as cut and dry. I don’t think my job will be available. Moving to Houston for a new role is risky and scary especially in the new regime provided that one’s even available. Previously I would have been happy to sacrifice for this company that has done so much for me. I just don’t feel like it’s the same company and honestly, I’m afraid of moving and then getting cut again

No hard feelings on Chevron to be honest after working here for the last 22 years as it’s been a good run for me and my family. I will also push the EOI button and move onto the next adventure.

I considered riding it out until next year, but you’re right—it’s just not worth it. I’ve decided to take the EOI when it opens next Friday.
