What happened to rewarding performance?
So people talk, of course... and it seems that the biggest beneficiaries of salary increases and the expanded LTIP are people who constantly post on Workplace, attend multiple D&I meetings every week, socialize (that is, suck up) with "mentors" at... — read more
It’s about the prosecution, stupid
Barton’s posted an article today noting that the pandemic has eased and stock buybacks are no longer a thing. Oil companies are measured by production. Ours is sagging while Exxons soars. Permian is to blame. We have nothing else in the hopper. Dark... — read more

Any rumors of layoffs after a low and disappointing CIP? I know contractors are being let go throughout the organization.
TCO/Tengiz - what's it really like there? Anyone know for sure? [Update]
Anyone here ever been to Kazakhstan, working for TCO/Chevron? How is the work, co-workers, camps, etc? Most jobs look like 28/28 rotation. Pay looks good, weather looks cold.

Peak Oil?
Folks have been predicting peak oil since the 1960s, but new technology has always pushed the date back: secondary recovery, deepwater drilling technology, fracking, etc. In the last decade, however, conventional reserve replacement across the... — read more

Drop in value of lump
How much has your lump sum fallen with the rise in interest rates (as a percentage of your total). I retired a bit over a year ago, without a package, which probably was not the ideal timing financially but I was ready to leave. Now that there is... — read more
From 2004-2021 Chevron has averaged 6.8 deaths/year. What is the standard?
I added up the numbers and we have averaged 6.8 deaths per year since 2004 (farthest back data I could find) at Chevron. I’m not discounting the tragedy of death by any means, but shouldn’t our safety score be a positive (or at least neutral) this... — read more

38K Employees X $55,000 average CIP Payout = $2.1 Billion.
Compare $2.1 Billion for 2022 CIP payout for 2022 with the $75 Billion buyback MW announced. Mr. Wirth, a CIP of 1.6 would have resulted in a total CIP Payout of $2.5 Billion. Aren't the employees who work to enable you to make these earnings... — read more
