Well......the week of selections is here! Good luck to everyone. I am EOI’ing just two years early for retirement. Remember to hold your heads high. Everyone I’ve known that’s left Chevron says there’s life after it. Everyone that stays, remember it will be tough at first and many that have had jobs rewritten will be lost. But hang in there, it will come around and get better! God bless you all.

They pushed everything back a week maybe you need to stay caught up. It’s this week and next with notifications starting the 27th. Instead of the 19th. Go check out the new dates! Doesn’t really matter either way but maybe quit being so self righteous 🤔
This board is so silent it makes me think that everyone who normally posts b!tchy remarks here is actually a manager trapped in selection team meetings right now.
Quiet resignation
Peptobismol will get you through the next week, one sip in the morning, another one at night.
probably most 24 positions were filled today..... wish my rep would say something
Most of us will end up doing the same sh!t next year as this year. The only difference will be the tiny box on a very expensive PowerPoint that tells us where we live now. So much Win.
@hqx. it has nothing to do with qualifications. These days, they'll fill positions with warm bodies and they've already shown it.
How many positions will remain unfilled because the remaining talent does not have a skill set that aligns with the organizations new direction? Or was that all talk? We’ll find out in two weeks.
I’ve been with Chevron 10 years. I came here as an experienced hire with about 15 years experience. . I’ve had the opportunity to work for a few Other employers before coming here. I’ve been around the block so to speak.
I will tell you this. Most people at Chevron have it pretty good! They may not be the top in compensation but when you look at their 401k and pension and the work/life balance it’s an okay place to work. One of the nicer places to be.
Many of you who came here straight out of college probably don’t even realize it.
Having said that, I have noticed The organization is set up in a way to keep the golden handcuffs on. The longer you are here the more difficult it is to leave. You are vested after 5 years but it doesn’t really start to build Real value until you’ve been here 20 years and after that is gets a lot sweeter. Making it more difficult to leave. But also, after you have been here a while it seems like the promotions, raises and appreciation go away. I’ve been at the same PSG for 5 years now and I feel cheated when I only see the newer guys getting promoted. It feels like your forgotten after they “get you where they want you”
As I said earlier, I’ve been here 10 years and I still have a ways before I’ll be able to retire, but given the current environment and enhanced severance package offered, I hit the EOI button too. I don’t want to be a slave to CVX anymore. I want to be in charge of my own destiny before those handcuffs get any tighter.
Best of luck to the majority. To that small group of horrible human beings... hope you get laid off, there's one I'm specifically praying for.
The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. I worked at other companies before Chevron and I can tell you from experience that is so true. If you are left standing and Chevron is ALL you know you are in for rude awakening!
Good luck, everyone. From the data that I have seeing and from what I have heard from multiple and reliable sources, there are more than expected individuals that have EOId. While the number varies by pay scale grade, the overall the impact is that a lot less people will be forced out than what was anticipated; that is a good thing. God bless you all.
The challenge is unforeseen future for those left standing, the job market does not seem to be getting any better anytime soon for the technical folks [PE, G&G]. It is easy to say life is better outside chevron when you have a job or quickly can find a job, it is a different story if you left go and cannot find a job within a year.
This is certainly very painful time for many, I hope we all get through it and find better time either with or without Chevron.
I’m sticking it out and am anxious, yet excited, to experience a transition such as this. It will be a test for leadership at all levels. It will demand feedback to succeed. Things will be rough, some things may fail. It’s how everyone responds that will set the course.
Best of luck to all.
I left a year ago and changed industries. Best thing I ever did. There is definitely life outside Chevron. Good luck everyone.
Me too. EOI and starting a business. Also, leaving crazy California for greener (or I should say redder) pastures.
Best of luck buddy with you business. May you succeed!
It was last week. And also this coming week. It's been going on. Please catch up, folks.
Yes, good luck everyone. I am EOIng with 20 years left before retirement.
I plan on starting my own business.
I wanted to do it before but didn’t have the resources. With the EOI, it will help me get started and give me a little cushion during the difficult start up period.
Can’t wait until I can shift my focus and leave this hell hole.
