Why don't we have a Union? When we have management as heartless as MW we should stand together and fight them!

Don’t let fearmongers convince you otherwise. Take the time to look for yourself. I started searching a few weeks ago and have been pleasantly surprised by what I’ve found. Before that, I was stressing and believing the negativity about a lack of... — read more 

That’s why we often lose so many people—people you might need again in just a few months. It’s also why younger generations don’t get the chance to specialize and truly become experts in their fields. Becoming highly skilled requires sustained... — read more 

I’m no where near retirement age but considering raising my hand for EOI. Have there been cases where EOI/severance was not granted by the company? Anyone familiar with that situation -what were the circumstances?

Chevron's clearly focused on phasing out long-time employees in favor of younger, less costly ones. Experience and knowledge no longer matter as all they seem to care about is the bottom line. If you’ve been here for years, don’t kid yourself... — read more 

How’s life at CNRL, or not if you rejected the offer?

Increasing dividends from 2020 to 2024 is extremely shortsighted. Instead of reinvesting in our existing business, we are paying significantly higher dividends per share compared to Exxon, placing an undue financial burden on our company moving... — read more 

Logical that there would be a lot of complaints on the board regarding layoffs. Curious if anybody has a credible alternative to the challenge Chevron faces. Problems: Chevron G&A is 30-50% high vs. peers in many BUs. Chevron D&C costs skew 10-25%... — read more 

They’ll still reorg us out of our jobs, lay us off, or do whatever to reduce the headcount. Those over 50 are dead in the water in any case, because experience and skill are costly. The rest of us can be replaced by out-of-college or otherwise... — read more 

Quiet quitting and loving it. Try it, I can guarantee you’ll instantly feel better, both in your head and in your body. Why ki-l yourself for a company that wouldn’t even notice?

Anyone have an idea what ELT or management is saying about the anger the rank and file have toward them? Guessing they don't care about how the employees productivity is in the toilet due to them. If anyone from management is reading this wake up and... — read more 

What is everyone’s thoughts on bonus payouts? Think we will hear anything soon?

When do you really think EOIs will hit? Seems like a lot of folks keep mentioning February 2025. Why is that? I saw an article that mentioned structural changes and cost cuts completed by end of 2026. Is it possible that EOIs won't be sent out... — read more 

Engine will fail. No one in India knows Chevron. We don’t sell anything in India. Shell has 10,000 gas stations in India. They have been in India for decades. Mobil 1 is a top brand in India. They are in India since 1980. BP has Castell brand and... — read more 

Anyone think this administration that's allegedly "America First" will embarrass Chevron or come to the support of the all those being outsourced?

We already are stretched thin. Many teams have a lot of roles and workers missing already, while the workload remains the same. There’s a constant pressure to work more efficiently and harder. Too much overtime is becoming normalized. Coming reorg... — read more 

Let’s actually use this place what it’s meant for - layoff rumors! I’ll start- all below are things I’m hear from multiple sources: BUs are going away (this one makes no sense to me, but it’s the rumor I’m hearing the most) CTC and its sub... — read more 

I relocated for a leadership role, and I couldn’t regret it more. Despite having strong PMP results, I’ve been denied promotion the last 2 years (I’m currently not even in the psg range for the role). Now there are indications the role may be going... — read more 

Hate on this place all you want, but it’s still leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the industry. We’ve got better pay, better benefits, and a better culture. Sure, it’s not perfect, but compared to some of the places I’ve worked, it’s more than... — read more 

I'm so sick and tired of these corporate robot talking points that are being echoed from the top down about how chevron is being outcompeted. The company is announcing 2 to 3 billion in cost cutting (mostly jobs) over the next 2 years when just over... — read more 

50 positions, did you see them? “Field support?” “Turnaround scheduling?” “PHAs?” How do they seriously expect this to be done from India?

Every 1:1 with my manager nearly gives me a heart attack. At this rate, I’ll need to start medicating for high blood pressure soon with the way things have been going.

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the problems they allegedly have with staffing the ENGINE. Is it true, and if so, how would it reflect on planned reorg and layoffs here? I wouldn’t mind if some of what’s planned here is postponed. It would give... — read more 

I just want to work for a place that values its people. Is that too much to ask for? It’s frustrating to see companies holding onto their top talent because they get how valuable they are, while here, they’re pushing out the most skilled workers... — read more 

Why do they keep deleting every single post about the dude replaced by MN !? Was he the fall the guy?

Unionizing is about empowering workers to have a stronger voice in their workplace. At Chevron, as skilled engineers, we drive the success of the company, yet many of us feel that decisions about pay, benefits, safety, and working conditions are made... — read more 

It would be good to find out where we all stand asap.

Chevron U.S. engineers need to unionize now more than ever, or this mess will continue to happen. Coordinate with USW. Establish salters within the main refineries and get the train rolling. Leadership has already admitted these reorgs will now be... — read more 

What’s with NH and other high level execs stepping down? And why is the company saddled with MN or EB as next CEO? Talk about failing fast.

I don’t expect we’ll hear anything concrete about layoffs anytime soon. Not enough people have quit on their own yet. They’ll keep dragging this out, torturing us until they’re satisfied they’ve pushed out as many as possible without severance before... — read more

Any intel on when February update will be given? Beginning or end? What kind of info are we expecting to get from the update? I’m at least hoping for some sort of timeline and relocation announcements…

To liven things up, lets play buzzword bingo. These are the words you will hear the most this year that are meaningless. Feel free to add more Outcome Output Agile Accountability

Company performance predictions here. Last call to place bets. I think .9

We keep hearing from the ELT and others how they are “accountable” for everything that has gone sideways in the company in the last 5 years (albeit recently, before 2024 this terminology wasn’t used), but what does that actually mean? We have gone... — read more 

May layoffs come and be done with as soon as possible!

There is an old Dakota tribal wisdom, which was passed over from generation to generation. It basically goes like this: “When you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.” This strategy seems to be simple and logical... — read more 

Anyone have an idea if non-US payrolls are in scope this time? If support services and engineering in the US are getting purged and offshored, what about the same roles in places like NMA or TCO or LABU that are local payroll?
