You get to experience favoritism, nepotism, and exploitation. No growth at all. Leaders who only care about themselves and face no consequences for anything. Great place.

Chevron stopped being an oil company about 10 years ago. Not coincidentally, the same time mass layoffs (oops, retirements) of Boomers started. Not coincidentally, when Chevron Way was thrown out to the dumpsters. In the intervening time, so many giddy and reckless strategies were introduced, few lasting more than a year. Culture crumbled, as OP has listed. I don't know how we're going to pull out of this tailspin.
You can't make this stuff up. Now if you are centralized and part of the Engine, don't get sick or you can lose your job. No employment protections in India. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/people/man-diagnosed-with-cancer-during-office-checkup-asked-to-quit-why-this-senior-corporate-managers-story-hits-so-hard/articleshow/129448715.cms
Sounds like the Hamroic effect still going strong!!! Better to be a luckie beotchington than a good one!
Wells Fargo getting out too.
Spoken like someone in Wells!
If thats true then how are you still in such a good position? Poor choices of words.
Chevron was like this two decades ago for candidates from the outside. Either had to be a top grad at a top university or you had to know someone who already worked there. Seems like now it’s just the latter
You should get out in the real world and work for a typical major. Then you can experience having to actually work and show progress or you'll get f.ired and put right back on the street. Your choice.
Structurally managed degrowth. Priority to maintaining the dividend flow.
The centralization of careers into Houston and ENGINE coming to gobble up entry-level work means the end of a career path for most of Chevron.
There used to be career opportunities. Now you need to learn as much as you can and leave at the right time.
@OP
I can see you definitely work there. The lack of opportunities is astounding. I think it’s amusing how the LT believes the people hired in the Injun will stick around more than 2 years. The culture of employment is job hopping and it takes 1 year for someone to become productive then they will realize how little growth there is because of the amount of time it takes to get things done. Then you have the middle and first level management su-king the life out of staff, the individual contributors in the Injun will be moving on to their next job
