Will petrotechs be impacted by ENGINE?
does India has a petrotech workforce? never heard about it
Age and high pay are a liability
If you are over 50 and have high pay (well earned, but that makes no difference) you're a walking target. Even outside the jobs being moved overseas, Chevron will be looking to replace highly paid workers with cheaper ones here in the country, often... — read more
STOCK
YTD - Exxon 15% up Chevron - Down 5% Chevron execs still getting paid for this losing performance and what’s their answer —- copy Exxon and move things to India. Wow - I am ashamed of this leadership. Used to have smart people, now we have id--ts — read more
Chevron earmarks $1B for new tech hub in India

Should MW get moved to India as well
When the HESS deal falls through and Exxon beats Chevron there as well, who is to blame then? There have been several "retirements" announced which seem like damage control. Might be time to ask the old guy to join the ENGINE movement and find a... — read more
For all I care they can move whole Chevron elsewhere
Already found another job last month. Saw this coming from a mile away. And lo and behold, a new gig comes with better pay, benefits and work-life balance. I don’t even have to drive 45 miles to work. But I wonder if the perks, benefits and joke of a... — read more
50 percent reduction in USA? Any truth to it?
Someone mentioned 50% reduction to people in the USA over the next 5 years. Hear that?
CHECK ENGINE
The Halliburton hack is a good example that assuming skilled engineering, programming, and operational positions are commodities and all interchangeable is not a smart business move. Chevron can't compete here to attract the best and brightest, it's... — read more
Health and Saftey in India
I think its hilarious we are moving things like Health and Safety to India. They have a great record on health and the safety. If you want to see their safety culture look up the Bhopal disaster. 50
ENGINE Townhall
They’re moving repeatable work to India. Why not just automate it if it’s so repeatable? They say that the India office will standardize processes. We’ve been trying to do that for decades, but BUs don’t allow it to happen. How will India have any... — read more
Who's got a better chance of being laid off?
I'm asking those who've been here long enough to know how layoffs usually work at Chevron. Are oldies or newbies in more danger when it comes to layoffs? My last company usually followed the "last one in, first one out" rule, which is making me quite... — read more
Guyana Hess secret value in arbitration
Reuters Exclusive: Hess Guyana's secret value becomes part of Exxon arbitration, sources say https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/hess-guyanas-secret-value-becomes-part-exxon-arbitration-sources-say-2024-08-20/
If they ask, I'll volunteer
No hard feelings here. I don't hate Chevron, I'm just ready to move on to the next step of my career. If I can do it with the help of a nice severance package, even better. I know a few others who feel similarly to me, so hopefully all of us get a... — read more
MW Can’t survive without the employees
If enough employees wanted to get rid of MW and MN, they could not produce for a while to show that the leadership has lost the company. The board would make changes.
Survey results
Why the heck did they ask us all to submit feedback surveys on culture and leadership and everything which McKinsey sent out - just to turn around and say at least 800 jobs are going to India. F* cked up if u ask me. If I didn't feel like it would... — read more
at least parking will be easier
I won't have to drive around all these stupid a*s $100k trucks with trailer hitches sticking out in the parking garages when all the engineers are offshored.
Stock Unload
Better unload stock before the whales do.
ENGINE: When all else fails, copy Exxon
I’m still astonished that today’s email so flatly states we were doing this because Exxon/others already have. It’s such an amazing admission of inept leadership. There isn’t a way you can slice this that does show poor leadership performance. We’re... — read more
Engineers
Does anyone know what engineering jobs would move to India? Someone just give insight if you know already.
Do we have a clue how many will be cut overall?
I’m polishing my resume right now. Also, I’m not training my replacement. I would if they would pay me extra for that, consultant fee per hour. I’ll make sure I’m already having another job lined up by then.

Pressure Time
The board and employees need to start pushing for Executive pay cuts. The company could save a lot of money without their bloated salaries. MW makes like $31 million in total compensation. Before people are outsourced let's outsource their massive... — read more
What % will survive Houston
What percentage of Houston IT will remain in the next 2 years? 50%? Less? Make your guess at how drastic a change this will be. Or for any other BUs or engineering
MW is Un-American
With the announcement of ENGINE maybe the media needs to get involved with the Un-American leadership we have.
Competitive shouldn't equal backstabbing
What's with so many Chevron employees who think that to be competitive you also have to be a backstabber? I understand you want to get ahead, but you can also do it through hard work instead of stepping on people in an effort to speed up the process... — read more
Engine
Welcome to the battledome. It's going to be a tough season for engineers. Way to support American jobs MW.
Alleged Big Announcement
Been hearing all over the place of some big announcement. Anybody with any credibility know what's going on? Will the announcement be as un-American as the rumors say?
Exxon announces layoffs

Worst CEO?
For those who have been around a while who is the Worst CEO you have worked under? For me its MW. His legacy is destroying the morale of the company and layoffs. He seems to want to double down on this. The board needs to make a change now!
Any updates on Cbu sale process & layoffs?
Going to happen this year?
Value centers - where ?
In the townhall it was mentioned more use of value centers. Greater use of existing centres in Manila and BA but sounded like there might be new ones set up too. Are we just talking about India here ? Wonder if anyone has the scoop

Idea on When Requirement to Houston will Occur
If I have a solid year, I’ll hold off on job hunting, but definitely will have my eyes open.
Outsource Wirthless!
This should be illegal all the outsourcing. MW must not stand for his country and only his rich buddies. He is one terrible person. Anyone who says we need to catch up to the other companies who are ruthless must have no s oul either.
Why hiring
Why are we hiring anyone from universities if all jobs are leaving the us?
