Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Perfect analogy

A Titanic analogy, Chevron, like every other multinational oil company, just hit the Green iceberg. Right now, everything might look good, but you'd really have to have your head buried in the sand to think that everything's going to return to 'normal' (i.e., the 'good 'ol days'). Right now, Captain MW and his crew are trying to figure out 1) how bad is the damage, 2) how much longer can we stay afloat, and of course, 3) what can we sell off to keep paying The Dividend. If you only need about 10 more years to make retirement (or another career), you're fine. Otherwise, get set for miniscule raises, no promotions, forced career re-direction, manufactured social trendiness, and ridicule from the public.

I found this buried among replies in an older thread, I had to make it more visible. Originally written by @3mxq+1badBquU.

You forget the time certain western countries cultivated and sold dr-gs to get an entire nation hooked on their dope.

The energy landscape might be chamging in Europe and North America, but the rest of the world still finds fossile fuel more affordable and easier to use for many different reasons. Just because bunch of ri h countries are trying new things does not mean most majority of the world population will blindly follow.

This reminds me of about 100 years ago where the western contries tried to ban any opium and narcatics cultivation in the rest of the world just because they felt that way they can protect their own population out of addiction, guess what now it is free and legal in almost all of those western countries and the damage was done to those cou tries who did not cultivate and sell and thus lost big revenue out of abiding western so called moral rules of the that time!

You're joking right. You believe in the green new deal. If the world is moving away from fossil fuels, then why is the world consuming almost 100 million BPD. That is 36.5 billion barrels per year. Last time I looked the world has not discovered 36.5 billion barrels of reserves in a long, long time. Oil prices are going higher, unless the world economy crashes. The green new deal requires trillions in subsidies just to complete with fossil fuels. Your job at CVX is to find hydrocarbons and produce them. The world is going to need them.

The admin likes to keep the site moving as he gets a fortune from adverts.

The only difference is that this iceberg has been clearly visible for over 20 years but we've refused to change course, hoping it would somehow magically disappear.

So, OP, your point is, that you troll a layoffs forum during working hours, you already have a job (why would you be concerned with layoff issues or what laid off people have to say?) and on top of that, you can't come up with an original thought of your own so you copy others. OK, I get it now, I see why you belong on this layoff's site, never mind lol!

Some of the national oil companies (Shell, Statoil, maybe BP) will be pushed offline, driving prices up and boosting profits for the likes of CVX and XOM. Mark my words.

I'm doing something. I'm in a car in cargo with DP's daughter trying to earn a promotion.
