Chevron’s 2026 vibe reads like a corporate satire that forgot it was supposed to be fiction. Employees are watching leaders cash out stock, “future leaders” quietly plotting their escape routes, forced‑ranking systems dressed up as not‑layoffs, open seating that somehow manages to make productivity and morale worse at the same time, and a revolving door of reorgs that solve absolutely nothing. Through every post, one theme keeps bubbling up: it’s not a culture problem, it’s a full‑blown identity crisis where the top keeps insisting the ship is steady while the crew is already eyeing the lifeboats.
