Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Return to the office, remote work, and hybrid work discussion

Interesting podcast on this subject. Young people want to be in the office to get the in-person interaction. Mid-career people want to do more remote work due to family obligations. A hybrid schedule—three days a week in the office—seems to be the best schedule for many successful companies. Work outcome is the most important thing—not work input. This is what MW has been touting.

After reading all this c-rap that is going on at CVX, I'm glad I took the EOI and got out. What a disaster.

It’s reopened because of the people who have been abusing the hybrid work schedule are pi----g off HR. The fact that they put literal money into building a system to track our badging and report it to our bosses should tell you that our priorities are misplaced.

Mid career person here.

Young people believe they can do 3x the work but only if it’s a process and if it requires original thoughts they can’t do anything.

Old people have seen a lot and it can be leverage but not when they feel like they are being pushed out by re occurring layoffs every 3 years.

Mid career have all been stagnant and are disgruntled.

@1etn, 3X? Seriously? When does that start, next year or the following? It sure isn't happening now. The old timers are eating your lunch and doing your work and theirs as we post on this website of do-nothings.

These old timers just cannot stand that the younger generation can do 3x as much work as them in 1/3 of the time while working from home. The way I see some of these people work makes my head hurt. Also, the typewriter is gone you guys, no need to double space after a period.

Let’s hope the bad apples that never come in don’t ruin hybrid for the rest of us

I thought this issue was finalized over a year ago. Is it being re-opened? I would prefer to be full time remote like many of my friends. Houston doesn't work for us.
