IT, Finance and Commercial are expected to layoff ~300 people in 2 waves starting with IT in early Q3 2025. A majority of operational support for IT will be moved to outsourced providers. Major IT restructuring will be done using the “spans and layers” concept suggested by BCG to reduce management layers.

@4pa HR is definitely reading these comments. If you notice the pattern, every time someone mentions them being bullies, mistreating our former colleague- cancer patient, or other harmful, bullying behavior like controlling the narratives of investigations, the reactions start mysteriously decreasing or getting dislikes.
@57f
You obviously don't have to worry, or else you're in the loop with inside information. Can we just all get along? Maybe, but consider this analogy. You married the one person that has proved to be reliable, trustworthy, ethical, great work ethic, and you have loved them the moment you met. You married, you complement each other completely. You both know at the end of the day, you will be together just like every night before. Together you have both grown and prospered. You have built a life, have children, everything is as good as it gets. Then, a few weeks ago, the love of your life tells you that they don't need you anymore and want a divorce. That's it, no explanation, not a care for the years of hard work. That's it, nothing else except wait for the paperwork to show up. What are you feeling now? It's what every employee that thought CPChem would be the last to betray their relationship. Do you get it now? Maybe you could communicate it better.
@57f If you want help, the antics of the unscrupulous management team need to be brought to light. HR HBIC and a certain manufacturing VP are an embarrassment to the company and the board should really take a close look at the their fearless leadership before they agree to cut the jobs of hard working people. And I do mean fearless because their jobs are not in jeopardy.
@57f you are missing the point. Those things they are venting about are likely why you are saying let’s pull together and help each other!
Maybe just maybe the board gets wind of some of these items then they do the best thing that could likely help us all.
I’m sure you can tell that maybe just maybe it’s upper management saying all the people losing their (or loosing) jobs are d-mb etc. Misspelling words on purpose, misleading, misdirecting. Pretty easy to see what they are doing.
That tells me probably all the “venting” has them spooked someone will look into what’s been going on.
@4yb its terrible some of us will loose their jobs but i am getting tired to hear the same comments: pickleball, HR romance stories, outsourcing. Let’s hear about what we can do, how can we help each other and what options do we have that we have not heard yet. Busting people's chops helps vent and only vent.
@4wf can you back that up? That is a serious statement.
@4m8 old news. No one cares anymore. Tells us something we have not heard. Otherwise your cr-p is toilet material.
@4jz most of you losers like to work from home so that you can have a second job at the same time!!
@4ft get a life looser
@535 anymore news?
@4qj I don’t doubt this post at all. I have seen this company clearly treat people differently when going through the same situation. Post your email and I can send you specifics.
@52z they said what they needed to so that everyone would be quiet.
The craziness that an IT team on the chopping block would also help the same company stop all their potential shenanigans and mismanagement come to light is astounding.
Of course HR and management put out the cease and desist order. Usually what happens when you hit close to home.
@4xe obviously, and exactly what people are being told.
@4xe the same IT that is about to be undergoing a huge layoff?
The same IT that’s losing their jobs?
That IT is the one tracking who is here and doing whatever?
Get off the koolaid.
Pickle ball courts > your job
And you believe them when they try and control the narrative ?
My money says the IT team waiting to watch their jobs go over seas don’t give a damn to report it correctly!
It’s the same IT that could get into super secret files too. Lord if I was laying people off IT would be my last lol.
@4qr IT Security is indeed tracking CPChem assets such as cell phones, Laptops, browser activities of each. If you have gone to this site using one of those assets, your already on the list.
Never use company assets for personal business, never
@42g You do realize that it's 100% her idea to outsource, offshore and layoff, right. She and IT are the test case for the rest of the company. If she succeeds, she's the new CEO. If she fails, nothing will happen. Win win, except for those who have been loyal to the company.
@4qj I hope you got a lawyer involved. I’d direct them to this page
@4qr lol tracking how? They are gonna pay the extraordinary fees to get a gossip site that allows you to post anonymous to release their info? Not a chance. It’s my guess they just want you to believe that.
You think the ceo and HR lady from the cold play concert can do anything to the cameraman at Coldplay or the lady who filmed it from her phone and sent it out?
@4nn apparently they are tracking and if you want to keep your job…
Hi everyone, hope yall are well.
While fighting cancer, HR at Chevron Phillips harassed me instead of helping me. They mismanaged my leave, failed to track my hours correctly, and demanded I pay back $13,000. They scheduled stressful meetings right before surgery and even contacted me for paperwork while I was in the ICU.
Reading others’ experiences now, I realize this wasn’t just me — it’s a toxic pattern. No one battling for their life should also have to battle their employer. This is why even in such bad condition I dragged my a-s to the office to resign. Unfortunately really, because before that I felt so committed and dedicated to CPChem.
@4nx Oh yes, two of the original HR bullies have finally retired, but not before they trained a new crop of bullies to take their place. And a few years ago, they even brought back another ignorant bully from the past. She’s here in Orange with us now, but I can tell she’s not happy…
@4mr No, but fear and intimidation is definitely the MO of this crooked HR regime. So, happy commenting everyone… management is obviously feeling like the absolute embarrassments that they are. Keep up the good work! Expose the truth for change.
@4mr and what do they plan to do with that threat? Waste money they don’t have because we can only guess top management has their feelings hurt about the way they’ve run the company in the ground?
They need to be more concerned with reversing course of the company than worrying what gets said on the internet. People are losing their jobs and they want to worry about advising people not to comment on here?
Who else has been asked if they were aware of this site and advised not to comment?
Can field and SheHR should be fired immediately for their tryst in the office. But, I know, they are senior management and nobody can touch them. They just wanna show everybody underneath them. How powerful they are hit a bunch of BS. This company has become a total sh-t show.
Does anyone know when they are going to start layoffs? Also if things don't turn around, no one will be s a f e. Can we sell the H Q building? Other companies have saved a lot of money by having their people work from home.
@4ft they can’t afford to be at the Coldplay concert!
@4ft maybe another sit and spin day?
@4bs …I thought they would be at the Coldplay concert!
@4c5 nothing on w a r n yet. Is there any news? Some people are already leaving the company. They aren't sticking around to be told they are being let go. They could save a lot of money if they cut out those who make 200k or more. How many managers do you need?
@4bw Photos on Chemisphere
@4bw ask Beth where the pictures are- probably buried in her backyard- and I think they’re too busy to play pickle ball they’re playing other games
@4ag the waiting is getting old
@4bs where are these pictures you speak of? Did they play pickleball afterwards?
Does anyone else find it ridiculous that Mari Cello cut the ribbon today? Proves the LT couldn’t care less about what she’s done- only thing worse would’ve been if can field helped her- in your face to the employees- proves no one cares about the the cr-p they’ve done and was covered up by their cronies- so disheartening
@443 anymore news about when layoffs will happen? Everyone is just guessing at this point.
@480 haha. If you only knew what i do for a living.
You must be one of those clowns who looks at po-n and texts all day.
Thanks for your comments soon to be out of a job clown !
@47z no most people just realize they should focus on their own personal lives during their time. But thanks for your opinion member of management!
@430 Most of you only post during the week (and during the day). Not much gets posted during the weekend. You must be retired, maternity, leave, or simply the lazy-negative kind that no body wants working for them. You know who you are.
@42g i ran into too many 30+ yrs who know nothing but bs. you must be one of them.
