Things are looking good for Chevron and people are noticing. There was a time when I thought morale has hit rock bottom, but now things seem to have improved immensely. I have to admit, I like to see it. I've been here for nearly two decades and I'd like to retire on a high note, with people appreciating this great company once again.

If you're 30-ish and think things are just rosy, you're going to have a very rude awakening in about 10 years when the bottom drops out on Chevron and you're a 40-ish un-hirable oil professional.
In HR, the Transformation and other like programs were just ways to quickly promote the favorites and marginalize everyone else in the function.
OP, you must be dreaming. The transformation during a pandemic was a disaster. We lost a lot of core competencies across the enterprise by accelerating the “great crew change” at just the wrong time, and the dream that Chevron would be stronger as Microsoft Oil Inc. is simply misguided. "Always time to do it right" and "minimum viable product" are not compatible, and the latter does not provide a basis for sound long-term investment decisions. While it is always good to continue to grow workforce computational technical abilities, only a small percent of the workforce needs to be directly involved in developing AI and similar computational workflows. As has always been the case, the key to success in this industry is a strong learning culture in the core Petro-Tech sciences focused on subsurface prediction. Morale will continue to suffer until management admits the obvious: the emperor as no clothes!
OP (or is it RM?), talk to any PSG 23 and below in HR and you will see how morale in that function is truly terrible. Those 24+ or anyone who has more than 20 years of service at the company is equally as miserable but too much to lose at this point to quit.
RM must have mistaken this site for LinkedIn.....
OP what on earth are you smoking
Op, is just shaking the tree to see if anymore nuts fall.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaat….
Op: what company do you work for its obviously not chevron.....
Another Chevron HR troll. RM, is that you?
OP wtf rocks are you cooking and can you share???
OP you must not work in HR. Morale still in the dumpster here.
Op, you must be dreaming well over the weekend and/or been high on alcohol or dr-gs.
