Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Empty Space Between Events

What happens between the 2nd and 15th? I believe that is when “selection meetings” begin? So that time in between? Nothing occurs?

I’m quite sure advocates have been speaking with job owners during the entire process, especially when the jobs were released.

So is the process like a shark tank? Talent Card flashes up on screen, advocate stands up and addresses the group which has your job owner in it? A bidding war erupts?

Or is this a “we will make the square peg fit in this round hole”, or a “we will fill the square hole with whatever square we can find”, or a “square holes don’t exist because all the square pegs have already been set aside”?

I’ll be ok till the end of the year, I think. I’d rather not move to H-Town as I am actively avoiding it for the time being, however it’s becoming clear the industry is centralizing there. I know…brilliant deduction.

2.5 weeks left. Unfortunately, my “open for work” will always be visible to hiring managers from now on. Loyalty is but a faint memory.

Time to clear out our desk, and organize my files for handover. Send out a few random R&As. Block up my calendar to avoid wave 1 hypo enthusiastics loading me up, trying to leverage that we are in the cannot say no period - to focus instead on wrapping a bow around my current work.

Many of the decisions are already made before they walk in the door. Other positions are discussed briefly.

They make the short lists by early next week. Up to 3 candidates per slate. Make sure there are enough candidates on each slate…. Do some horse trading if required. Selections the following week are done in a specific order, by function sequentially. Your functional selections will be quite quick, but then just have to wait for all other functions to have their turn.
