It will likely show the layers of growth of non-essential activities (fluff) that have creeped in over the years. These new organizations with new high level psg’s will just be shrunk in the layoff but will not go away. Do you know of any?

It’s a company that needs to focus on shareholder value, I get it, no problem. Why all this long “open” transition spanning over a year, during a pandemic for Christ’s sake. No discussions of what the future should be or open engagement except... —  read more 

Just found out that our business unit will endure about 12% layoffs. I suppose, if you're like me and want the EOI option, it's not so bad. But our BU, one of the top, if not the most profitable & highest production in the country, taking a 12% cut... —  read more 

What's the typical work schedule for people primarily working in the office? 9/80? Half-day every Friday? Standard 40 hour weeks? On that note, anyone still working from home due to Covid? Is Chevron allowing people to continue working from home... —  read more 

https://www.perthnow.com.au/business/oil-gas/chevron-ordered-to-inspect-gorgon-wa-plant-ng-s-2024207 Chevron has been ordered to inspect its massive Gorgon liquefied natural gas plant off the West Australian coast amid safety concerns. Workers at... —  read more 

Reading between the lines, why am I getting the impression that all the “job owners” in the new tech center’s round 3 positions are the secretly selected new Chapter leads? I guess all will be clear Monday.

Does Chevron pay unused sick leave if you are laid off?

Surprised at how much questions are asked about “teaming” during townhalls. Stop asking about it and wasting precious townhall time! Those who are confused about the concept either are haven’t been good teammates or just don’t know how to become... —  read more 

Throwing out org charts without psg ranges is chicken sh*t. If your job still exists, you don’t know if you qualify for it. This is an effort of not being transparent to keep people working even if they don’t have a shot. Thoughts?

Saw the spread today how many managers are there ? Their job titles are outrageous There's about 2 petrol techs each hope they get bored ..doubt it ...will make up some new stuff for the team ...human energy and lots of it

Round 2 selections announced today in ABU. Diversity metrics reported that pre selection the round 2 leaders consisted of those with 25% who had 'diversity characteristics' (I'm assuming this means non-white male). Post selection, the proportion... —  read more 

in this layoffs are they targeting 55 plus workers?

So it looks like I am at a 40% chance of getting laid off. Wish I had a 99.6% change of not being laid off. Wonder why we worry about some thing and not other.

I am in round 3 and will take EOI. The notification will occur the week of September 7. My question: is it possible to postpone the severance package to 2021 for tax purposes?

I’m in R4 and pregnant with my first child and due early next year. Easy to hide it being at home. What should my strategy be? Tell them before the selections and hope they’d be scared to lay off someone with a “disability” or wait until after... —  read more 

put an internet block on Wirth’s computer to make sure he doesn’t see this and get any crazy ideas? https://money.usnews.com/investing/news/articles/2020-08-05/exxon-to-suspend-company-match-to-employee-retirement-plans-in-october-sources

I found some reps are helping and responsive, some are not

Thoughts?

Was anybody else shocked at the amount of softballs that were hit during the Town Hall today? It seems to me that our leadership's message and actions are inconsistent and the tension is rising in regards to merit based selections and the focus on... —  read more 

Chevron would never do something silly like that.

Papa G clearly doesn’t care to talk about FT. Disappointed about the radio silence for months. Good luck in the round.

The layoff percentage numbers are meaningless without knowing the details. I predict most selections will be easy to predict: 1) If your job is needed and you are filling the position well you will keep it; 2) If your job is needed and you are... —  read more 

Makes ya think I have seen the same at Chevron in the last 15 years I have watched layers being added and these PMs, and extra supervisors running around pushing paper between each other. running around doing very little actual work... —  read more 

~2600 open positions ~ 3600 contestants ~400 EOI Would be blood bath with D&I, reach out to higher up you know or dont. Good luck!

Now that we've spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours to rebrand the PMP, anyone feel like they actually got better feedback at their Mid-Year Assessment?

After a handful of unqualified candidates were selected and promoted in HR during R2, it is obvious HR did it's part to pump up some corporate numbers that are being shared externally. Will the selections be based on more of the same? Or, will the... —  read more 

Looks like not all people or positions are open or need apply. What's the method used to say who is in and who isn't? Is it the position? Merit? Diversity? It's a sad day if this is based on gender or ethnicity.

If I apply for an EOI in R3, and I am notified in early September, how much longer would I need to work at CVX? Can I line up another job, and if so when can I tell my new employer I can start?

Oh how times have changed....

Keep? Sell? Shutter? I’m excited to join Chevron, but just have no idea what to expect here.

Anyone actually get their severance? Curious how long it was received after last official workday, and also % federal income tax...Thanks.

The local rag had an article about Gorgon’s challenges describing the parts that may need to be exchanged being the equivalent of Having a lego Star War’s Death Star and needing to swap out pieces in the centre. How real is this and what’s the down... —  read more 

After being laid off as a result of EOI can you come back as a contractor and continue to work for Chevron?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/27/fossil-fuels-oil-gas-industry-police-foundations

Just curious how it works if we receive notification that we are left standing after the last round in October. Do we get paid through the 60 day review period then receive severance?
