Any CVX folks have a business on the side, either declared or undeclared? Anyone ask permission to start something and get knocked back? My contract has both IP and exclusivity clauses which sound problematic, even if there is no conflict of interest.
Keen to hear people's thoughts and experiences.
Thanks and all the best to those looking for an exit strategy or backup plan.
There's technically no such thing as a true "Native American" to most current scholars. All Americans are immigrants including the descendants of early Siberians who migrated across the former land mass now the Bering straight, called American Indians. To pretend that they are owed anything special because they were uneducated and lost in ancient conflicts is a ludicrous concept that only a parasitic liberal American would conceive of. If that were the case then every civilized demographic on the globe would "owe" another for life and be slaves to them eternally. As is the Case with so-called native Americans who get free health care at the VA hospitals while others have to pay for theirs, regardless of how remote or little they had to do with the early immigrants, which in most cases is nothing. They wouldn't know an Ancient Indian custom from a Bible verse. But they get free stuff.
I had a barge company, wife as CEO (native American). Petty sweet! The clowns in SCM were clueless.
I do webpage design, support and maintenance on the side, earning an extra $20,000 a year average. I do my side job after work hours and weekends, but sometimes from the office during my work Fridays, if things are slow. Boss works the alternate 9/80 Friday. Couldn't be better. He's a jerk.
@HKiyuCU-3pcr, That's the main reason that it's not safe to enter the lobby restrooms after lunch at 1500 Louisiana Street. Anytime after about 12:00 noon and that is a no-mans land! DO NOT GO IN THERE!!!!! WHEW!!! I'm serious guys. The last time I ate at the Taco Truck down the street I was running like a banshee for the nearest commode with my buttocks clenched and sphincter quivering. It was not pretty. KA_BLOOOOOM!!!!! That Taco truck and Indian Truck food Does NOT go down well. It was a Horrible, foul, yellow diarrhea explosion that rocked the entire first floor. I will NEVER eat at one of those diarrhea trucks again!!!
My business on the side is selling off Chevron's drill pipe from their stock piles. A little here and a little there. It's easy to get what you're looking for with a few Benjamins paid to the right dispatchers.
I own a Mexican taco stand a block down the street from 1500 Louisiana Street and a Greek food truck two blocks up the other direction on Smith St. Business is booming. I hope you have had more than one chance to enjoy the good food that is served. I'm getting ready to start another lunch truck specializing in Indian and Middle Eastern fast food in August. Enjoy, tell your friends and keep coming back.
My wife and I own a janitorial service company. She runs the day-to-day business. We have 12 contracts with companies from downtown Houston to The Woodlands, but not with Chevron. I'm a Chevron employee in Houston and haven't felt the need or obligation to inform Chevron. I keep my job with Chevron and my personal company business completely separate, so there's no conflict of interest. And I maintain this separation intentionally.
I want to be El Chapo.
Me and some of the other drilling engineers are flipping keys of coke like there's no tomorrow.
Doesn't matter, the same is in millions of other references, and many of them are European and German, this fact about hitler is absolute truth, no doubt, I believe it.
Russian propaganda post, note the .ru

Chevron (standard oil) helped hitler through the third countries and third companies.
@HKiyuCU-2ian, The joke is on the A-hole who thinks that people believe his stupid story that sounded like a 4-year kid who doesn't know math made it up.
The part about not knowing 3rd grade math is not a joke at all, just pathetic and sad.
@2nls, ha ha ha thump. That's me laughing my head off. Reading your posts is better than watching Comedy Central.
You've never sold a barrel of crude in your life. If you did, you'd be familiar with the process.
Crude dung? You really just need a warehouse and a truck to sell it! Of course, it is cumming off chevron leases!
Bullshit. And where is it you tell the refinery and state your crude came from?you'd need more than a warehouse and truck to sell it. I'm assuming you don't tell them it comes off chevron leases
This is 2nls. Meant to say 300 barrels, not gallons. I need to cut back on my 6 packs or pace myself.
I have my own oil business on the side. Yep, a small oil business and trucking it to market myself one load at a time. Several years ago, out here in San Joaquin, I cold tapped some flow lines to take small quanties of crude oil to a nearby metal building next to an old trailer on a patch of land I inherited years ago. I have a small tanker truck parked inside the building that gets slowly filled and automatically shut off when topped full. Once every Saturday, I head out to my trailer, enjoy a 6 pack of my favorite brew, then truck my 300 gallons of crude to market. Even at today's cheap oil prices, I'm fetching $14,500 a week.
Business on the side? Why? Chevron starts new huge organization on new "green thing", where all laid off former employees are welcome. Dung reprocessing using new technologies. EPA approved. All current losers are welcome. Who is interested please immediately conctact your former HR focal points.
@-1izl has referenced having gay intercourse without being provoked more than anyone on this forum.(with the exception of the butthurt-deadwood guy who doesn't really count) That's interesting. I suspect that this guy is an unfulfilled retired gay male, very common. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I am not a bigot. Please don't take that the wrong way. There are sites that you can go to find partners, though and this is not it, sweetheart.
@HKiyuCU-1izl, spoken like you squealing like the giant butthurt pig that you are with my pitchfork up your sorry little gayboy rectum !!! LMAO.
No, just spoken like a giant. Bend over smartass.
"years, 6 months Sherlock. You want the exact length if my cock too, wiseass? Bend over and find out."
Spoken like an intellectual giant
Are you really an attorney @1dij? I do think so. Chevron can proclaim intellectual property (IP) rights over patents or ideas brought by its employees. But surely they don't give a rat's tail about things employees do "one the side", whether it's a grass cutting business or selling lemonade on the weekends. So long as it does interfere with the performance of their job. On the issue of Conflict of Intetest, Chevron asks its employees to disclose anything that could be such, but that's another matter. That's up to the employee how they want to respond. For me, I don't think it's any of their concern what I do outside the company, what interests I may have in an investment, etc. It only should become Chevron's concern if I cross the so-called line of biting the hand that feeds me.
@HKiyuCU-1nhv, I'm an attorney and can inform the readers of this site that you surely do not know what you are talking(posting) about either and are full of B.S., like many posters on this forum, but that is not news to you.
1vqu here. Guys come on. I was kidding. Seriously?
Didn't realize Chevron had so much IP on lawnmowers and hedge trimmers. Well done Chevron!
I'm a local wholesaler for the Gulf Cartel. Chevron lawyers don't want none of this.
Hey dlw, hate to break it to you, but having a business on the side isn't illegal. It may be a conflict of interest to Chevron, but that's not illegal. In fact, if Chevron was stopping you from doing some legal business arrangement, you could have a case against them.
Ok, I don't actually hate telling you that you have no idea what you're talking about. It's kinda fun.
@HKiyuCU-zys, You will be sucking the Chevron Lawyers cock instead of your gay boyfriends when they find out that you are a greedy cock-sucking criminal who engaged in the white-collar conflict of interest crime that you just described, it's a no-brainer. Retired for 4 years makes no difference, crook, no problem -you are an easy target. Thanks for sharing, fruit. See you in prison, You can find a new boyfriend to bend over for there. He'll rip you a new one for sure.,
@1vqu, just transfer the business into your wife's name (or trusted family member name) and presto, goodbye Chevron lawsuit. Get creative and tell these f*ckers to take a hike. Christ, they act like your business is eating Chevron's lunch.
Chevron filed suit against me once they found out I was running a lawn mowing business on the side. Claimed they owned all the IP, lawn mowers and day laborers. It's still being litigated. I just want to settle at this point. I mean, look at Ecuador.
Haha, OP here. This place never fails to disintegrate into a sh*tfight.
Thanks for the reply rzv. Personally I am thinking of something without CVX as customer. Any others with experiences (not judgements) to contribute?
28 years, 6 months Sherlock. You want the exact length if my cock too, wiseass? Bend over and find out.
Damn just 15min ago you were with CVX for 28 years
Supply Chain Management, @lie, can't even tie their shoe laces, much less find this out in an audit. I'm a silent partner and not an active principal in the business. I already explained myself anyway. Greed won't be my downfall either. I'm 4 years happily retired and doing well. 29 years was enough for me. Best wishes to everyone still surviving at Chevron.
If true that is the stupidest post on this site. It is not up to you to determine if it is a conflict and as you stated you did steer business to the company. You know it is a conflict since you will not name the company. You are a part of the problem not the solution. Greed will be your downfall. Hopefully a supply chain review will reveal your deceit.
OP, I was a Chevron employee for 28 years and retired about 4 years ago. I was during my employment years, a silent partner in a well established valve and instruments company here in Houston. My father and uncle were the principal owners, but my brother and I were also financial owners. No, I did not disclose this fact to Chevron, since I personally did not work in the business. I just owned just under 20%. I knew if I disclosed this to Chevron, it would deprive our company from doing business with Chevron. I won't say here how much business we did with Chevron, but our company was an approved vendor. I did have a little influence in getting some business tossed our way, but it was competitive and not to the detriment of Chevron. Since we did fair business, I never declared this as a conflict of interest.
