By the looks of the Midland office, the mothership is going to be shutting it down soon. No one‘s ever there they’ve closed the whole floor and the other ones are maybe 50% full. It’s only a matter of time before they start leasing out one of the towers. If I were one of the employees there, I would start looking at other competitors that value people close to the wellhead.

I agree with you. I was offered a transfer out there several years ago and I turned it down because it was in BFE. My manager told me I wasn’t a team player and I thought to myself, I wanted my kids to have a life not bronchitis from the dust.
Midland is work from home thursdays too now
Imagine being d-mb enough to move your entire family out there for a job?
Chevron owns a lot of real estate in less than desirable locations. I can’t imagine we will sell those properties for a profit. As we centralize positions to India.

‘Close to the wellhead’..? You’re still in an office bro
Just like the Camino Media Office in Bakersfield! Good luck. They will Centralize…
The reorg marked the end of the Midland Golden Age. Ironic that Deauville is now empty considering we are crammed like sardines into Louisiana. Curious to hear the ROI of those $20MM sports courts now that it is all said and done.
