Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

We would all be better working like we did before Covid. Whether we want to admit that or not, and it will eventually happen. It’s happening across many companies already.

It's a privilege to work at chevron. Chevron still has good pay, benefits, and culture. With a positive mindset, I don't ponder about how bad I have it working a hybrid schedule. I see it as a good comprimise and feel bad for employees of other companies who work 100% in the office.

The economics are in your favor. Cities all over the U.S. want wealth producing companies like chevron, Amazon, or other fortune 500 companies to setup major employment shops on their city. Cities often offer tax breaks, because the employees will spread this wealth with the local community from normal transactions everywhere they go, which turns into tax revenue. In the end, we have more jobs, more happy people, and more tax revenue. Seems like a good trade right? What happens to that when employees wfh 100%? Are they all going to huddle around houston and continue to share their wealth? When it is realized employees aren't living in Houston, what happens to the local tax breaks? Don't you think you benefit from those tax breaks? The tax breaks make you more affordable as an employee and gives you more opportunity just being near houston. If you really think about it, the RTO improves chevrons bottom line which benefits youe cip, pay, job stability, and job opportunities. Rto also centralizes many of the opportunities here for your picking.

DB is a clown, and as such, so is his "organization", what a waste of human space. But that waste can deal with open space, no place to sit and "collaborate" in the cafeteria

MW is just old school. We need a much younger CEO, preferabbly under 40.

My advice is be a patriotic American and fight the outsourcing of jobs to India. The greed has to end at some point. MW is the worst CEO in Chevron history

They get to make the rules. The rest of us have to follow them. It's really simple. I don't like some of it either but I'm not going to waste energy thinking about it. The reality is that EM doesn't care what I think about it anyway.

IMO, we would have not closed the office for more than a month if safety was not a priority. I know a lot of other downtown workers were back the week after, even during the subsequent storm. Don't cry when your WFH job is outsourced to India. Please stop coming so the dashboard reflects your non compliance and you can be let go as they have already done with several.

My advice is quit and look for another job. If your position can WFH it can be done anywhere in the world. Just saying.

MW is quick to say field workers didn't have the choice. That's true. So how about you start paying OT to the salaried workers of field and office are apples to apples comparisons? Or can we take OT pay away from field? Let's treat everyone equal to align with MWs platform.

A question from the past. Most people that have the political persuasion really fought companies being able to mandate a covid vaccine. So which is it, a company can do what it wants and you must follow if you don't like it leave or a company shouldn't mandate things?

OP, you describe the situation as if we are the only company working in-person and the only company downtown-Houston. Look around. This is the norm. The oddity would be remote.

Safety comes after making money, you join a company and agree to the rules, you do not impose your rules on the company, of you are not happy leave and find a job that fits your criteria. Stop being a child, this is corporate America, you work for the corporation and get paid for abiding rules, delivering results.

Ps: each and everyone of you above psg 21 earn 100% more than average American so stop all this whining and thank for being compensated well and provided with hybrid work.
