Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Sharepoint and Teams are just Microsoft products, so IT did not mess those up, and all your Microsoft sh!t is cloud based now and hosted by them. IT is just the middle man now. Go b!tch at Mike for falling in love with Satya.

No one cares about IT. Stop it this is a energy company not Facebook. You all mess up everything you touch.

Look at share point, there is no folder structure, it’s painful to edit a document, it’s painful to get it out of share point.

Oh how about teams. Yep another failure that is painful to use.

Can’t wait for you to decommission the O drive while we are running operations. It will take less then a week and you all will shut down rig and remote sites as we don’t have the bandwidth for those garbage Programs.

No. Contractors do all the work and many BBs put the results on their PMP and get big CIP and promotions without having a clue other than how to post on Workplace and manage XYZ network. Then they get laid off and can’t find a real job because they have no skills. It’s the Chevron Way.

It seems like 80% of the posts on here are from IT.

You know the old saying , "when the hits the fan " - what they don't teach you at college is "it doesn't get evenly distributed" applies here. Did ya Daddy not teach you THAT ah i see another naive one

Is software engineering possible at chevron? There's gatekeepers and old dinosaurs posing as the fount of knowledge with guardrails, patterns and standards every micro step of the way.

Sure, and Unicorns come to you when you whistle twice. The definition of equal is: My PSG is higher than you, therefore, I earn more and get to equally raise your workload to potentially prepare you to fill your next shoes (but not mine!).

Keep dreaming Pal

Unfortunately, that's how Chevron works, it's the "hidden culture" no one in San Ramon wants to acknowledge, but it's plain as day if you look at the people. The proletariat work hard and produce the profit so that the high pots and favored few can get big promotions and travel the world (or now, go to MIT and become digital managers). If you look at Chevron high-pots who are now around 40 (that is, came in after the Texaco acquisition), their collective resumes are nothing but high-frequency job (and location) changes, with their only career accomplishments being 'manager of this' or 'manager of that'. Your only consolation is that you are building a highly marketable resume, while the high pots are stuck in Chevron. Once they reach that 40 milestone, they are unemployable anywhere else.

I have worked production ops and completions in several locations. Years of nights weekends on call. Up at 1 am because baby was crying, up at 3 am because rig was calling, up at 5:30 for morning rig calls.

All for what? Same 23-24 pay grade salary some corporate drone makes for mouthing buzzwords and making tiktok (sorry workplace) videos. I will probably get the axe while tiktok-Er makes grade 26.
