@6dty, You're blaming others for your poor decision making on where to live vs the office? Wow.
I always get a kick out of those employees who live far away from the office so they feel they get special perks like showing up late and leaving early. And you wonder why you're here trolling the lay-offs site and have no life. You should have better paid attention in the public school that you attended.

@6rxi has no life so wasting two hours a day in traffic is no loss. Must be nice.
@5cmt "I don't wanna take a bath, MOMMIE!" Seriously? Grow up.
The office will be reopened 100% after the layoffs are done, for obvious reasons, including cost and safety considerations. All it takes is one person to go postal or create a major incident. These times of high unemployment are nervous times for many who need their high paying job and can’t afford to retire anytime soon.
Hearing whispers from “those who know” the office won’t open until September.
I don’t ever want to go back to the office environment. Working from home is better and don’t have to listen to other’s nonsense
I like the way you think, @2esh. You seem to me to be an organized person who thinks and plans things with forethought. Chevron can benefit greatly by keeping more people such as yourself. I hope you fare well in keeping your job and don’t fall victim to the often thoughtless random cuts, but it’s wise to plan for the worse and remove your personal things from the office ahead of any bad news. Don’t forget to retrieve and save any documents or reports, like your paycheck statements and summary of benefits, while your employee badge is still active. Once it’s deactivated, even your email account will be wiped.
I don’t believe we will open the office all the way until after the layoffs. It’s easier to lay people off from their own house then from your office building. They will remove wipe the computers and provide you a box to mail it back to them. As for your things you need to clean them out now if you want to keep anything. I have been making trips every other week to clean my office out.
Face it many introverted engineers probably do better from home.
I hope not, I can get more done now without looking/hearing all the as$ki$$ers
Houston will get back to the office when the rest of the city goes back. If millennials don’t watch it they will be out of a job if they whine too much about going back. We certainly agree that life would be great if you could just do work in between jogs, dog walks, car washings, playing with kids, watching cable tv talking heads, etc. Time to grow up.
Leaders must cut costs. Leases expensive. Change guaranteed. Already happening.
How are intelligent people still getting the virus. They know how it is transmitted and should be taking all of the precautions. I think it is the not so bright people in our society that are dragging us down in this situation and many others.
I don’t know that might be too early, Chevron is always safety first. (I mean right behind dividends.)
These are very mature issues about going back to work that are so good to see. So many of the younger workforce don’t embrace going back to the office because they prefer to work from home. Office work has presented young people many challenges because their interpersonal skills quite frankly are lacking.
The best thing that us mature workers can do is to not give them an easy out and to encourage(force) them to get back to the office.
I think it really depends, if people would start social distancing and wearing masks (Houston is doing a lousy job), there might be a chance.
I think as soon as daycares are open to 100% capacity we go back.
