If you successfully posted for a role that has a higher psg range, is it remotely possible to receive a bump?
If you were close to a promo in the previous role, does a new role in the pdc set you back?

If, say, you are PSG22 and luck out and land a job that was advertised as PSG23-25, then you have a very strong case for a promotion next cycle. Give your boss the job advert/description and demonstrate, line by line, how you have met all the criteria for PSG23-25 work during your time on the job. They can get it approved pretty easily with this documentation.
We’re all aware there are only a few majors, right? Not enough to even call it “many” - let alone “many many many”
Clown or troll…
Uh, yea. I've worked for many, many, many others. Standard practice. Get over it.
I’ve worked for another. This was not a stander practice. Keep drinking that CVX cool aid.
@1nzx, new to working for any major in any industry? Many do that. You're welcome.
Chevron is absolutely the only place I’ve ever worked where you can get promoted but not get a raise. I’ve been stunned to see people take on management roles with higher psg ranges and they’re kept the same salary.
You chevron lifers don’t realize that the PDC basically enforces a caste system. As previously noted, your fate is decided your first day at Chevron (and often by what school you went to - every manager in my function not only went to the same school, they recruited each other there). And what’s really sad is that those with a meteoric rise attribute to their talent, not their professional silver spoon.
Chevron and 99.9% of any other corporate business will always be hard pressed to give away a single Dollar if not absolutely necessary. If you get another job in the PDC, even one with a higher PSG and there is a pay overlap compared to the previous job, you are likely to not see any increase in pay. The company will move you in laterally. Your potential to see annual increases going forward may improve, but don’t expect an immediate bump in pay just because you got a new job in the PDC.
If it’s a placed job, you get the new PSG. If it is anything other than a placed job, you stay at your current PSG.
If your new job comes with a new supervisor, then that person now owns submitting you for a promotion. You can ask your previous supervisor to give promotion feedback about you to your new supervisor, but that’s about it. Promo submissions are due in July every year and take effect Nov 1.
NO!
No, and no. This "PDC bump" has been a Chevron urban myth for decades, fueled by the system using the PDC to give psg promotions to undeserving high-pots. You're on a career track birthed on the day you started working, and there's virtually nothing that's going to change any of the pre-ordained promotion points.
