are others finding that the job they signed up for in this latest reorg is not at all the job they are expected to perform? I know it’s not illegal for an employer to change job duties, but is sure seems fu---d up. I really wish that I had requested the EOI.

@2yv Chevron uses contractors. A contract is in place. Not everyone at Chevron is an employee. Contractors are employed by other businesses and a contract is in place that specifically states an assignment and rate. Going out of scope without a negotiated rate and amendment in place is illegal. Do you even work there or in the industry?
There's nothing "illegal" about assigning duties or tasks that don't fit your preference or managements' or your previous expectations of the job responsibilities, lmao. It's likely that management had no clear idea of that position's role and it evolved or you are needed to do something else. Sure, you may not like it but it happens every day and has nothing to do with illegality, layoffs or EOI. Feel free to quit. We are not contractors. Get over yourselves.
It actually is illegal to bait and switch job duties for contractors. It is illegal to not pay someone for services rendered. If you are a contractor and are performing duties outside of the original scope of the assignment started and you have not received compensation along with the increase of responsibilities then call your employer rep immediately. The more contractors I speak to the more common of a pattern is being displayed. Employees on the other hand, yes if you are salaried then your manager does have legal wiggle room to adjust your R&R.
Since I've had the new job we've gone through a cycle of job description posted, job offered verbally, and then the reality. Within that reality is my job responsibilities have changed three times as they figure sh-t out. All stages are different from each other.
I didn't apply for the job based on the written description, nor did I list it as an alternate. I liked the idea sold with the verbal offer, and dislike the job now that it has changed so drastically. The location of the job changing after the fact also adds to the dislike. Now the job requires a lot of travel since I didn't want to (nor sign up for) relo. What a mess.
No doubt HR are downvoting OP. LT beaches can’t take any criticism. They can’t handle the truth!
Curious about the downvotes
Hearing about many people who ended up in roles that differ from what was advertised
The leadership that created the new org doesn’t even understand the work that needs to be done. How do you expect them to create a functional organizational structure much less job descriptions to support something they don’t even understand?
The leadership that decided to downsize cares more about headcount numbers than job descriptions. They are counting on AI to do a lot of the “redundant “ work and for remaining employees to figure it out. I’m glad I took AEOI. Much happier.
