Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

@7vzk+1beC3HAK

How dare you assume their gender based upon outward appearances. Bigoted thinking will not be tolerated.

So, the point of the last poster, is regardless of talent or ability, we will aim to reach some sort of "quota" that matches the gender make-up of the rest of society. Ability to do the job, qualifications, productivity, efficiency, performing the tasks that the employee is being paid to do be damned! what a wonderfully utopian way to run a business... NOT!
My new NBA team will be half pale-skinned pygmies. Because diversity, you know.
Thank goodness for private corporations. Now get back to work providing my dividends, kiddies!

When we reach to over half women in all management teams, the men can start complaining. Until then, suuck it up losers.

If you got your feelings hurt over this you aren’t management material to begin with.

Convince them they should focus on equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome.

If you want to see the I&D team not be able to provide a good answer ask them why if we are a meritocracy do we focus on equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity.

@4mwy Forgive those who neglect to use perfect grammar when replying to an aggrieved, sexist troll on a clunky internet message board. The grammar in your reply is atrocious by the way.

We’re all sorry for the poor oppressed white male boomers who see anyone other than themselves (especially women) doing something constructive as a form of oppression. Don’t worry, you’ll all be fine.

@4bkg, Discrimination is nothing to celebrate or embrace. Those who tolerate or promote that behavior are the ones who should be tossed out of any business. Don’t be a stooge.

I don’t think this guy is getting the bites he was hoping for. Poor troll, poor poor troll.

To the poster - Stop whining and behaving like a victim. This is the new reality, if you have options vote with your feet and leave. Maybe you can find a more old fashioned workplace that suits you better. Otherwise be positive and embrace the changes that are happening

you could have just wrote????????????????????????
You're right where you belong, here.

@OP TL;DR

BTW: You didn’t have to write a five paragraph essay. You could have just wrote “aggrieved middle-aged white male” and we would have gotten the point.

Troll. Men join this network all the time and even serve on the leadership teams. Go fish elsewhere!

Because we said no. That's why.

If you try to join the program Mr Man you are sadly missing the point.

If you join the program, the company gets to pay you 80 cents on the dollar you earn today, not a great trade off in my opinion.

Men aren't discriminated against at the company. Look at the lack of diversity on practically every leadership team. Do a better job and stop complaining.

My advice is go directly to a Manager in your Department with whom you have rapport.

Spell out the development needs you articulated in your original post. Don't waste your breath on the Women's program, it's a non-starter for you. Your management CAN make your professional development happen. Offer to them what optimal professional development looks like to you and what your career ambitions are.

If your management blows off your needs----- that gives you an answer about your career

Why these posts are so long? Can't you write concisely? TLDR

This is not a blanket statement for diversity of thought, religion, color or pre Chevron work experience.
Diversity is specifically about promoting Titsiana B00berinis.

I strongly advise against emailing HR. Your career will be done as soon as you do that. Chevron is not ready for honest feedback. Or when you email make sure you have plan B

MW is on the board of Catalyst, a women's advocacy corp. That should be precedent enough. Good luck with RM.
