Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

So you weren't worried about working next to one of those H1B contractors or the off-shoring to Manila or Buenos Aires? You know; those Indians sitting next to you making $40k a year while you at PSG 20 or 21 were making $90-115k doing the same exact job? No, not a problem there. We had to fight to get one of those H1Bs raised to $60k a year. H1B, just another name for slave labor and job destroyer.

How about those other cheap sources of labor?... Manila they cannot follow step by step, check the box instructions. They also go off and Cowboy tasks they shouldn't touch. Someone has to go back and clean up the mess. Oh no, don't call them out it; that's not Chevron Way Behavior. You're just supposed to keep fixing the F-ups over and over again. ...until you walk out the door to a better gig.

The management is a sad joke. I (and the guy next to me) almost broke out in hysterical laughter as the CIO, back at $100 per barrel oil, explained the ROM of Summer 2014 as the fault of "stagnate oil prices". Stagnate prices at $100 per barrel...hahahaha! I did the math long before before the group hug meeting. Gorgon, Atlas, Angola, TCO, and the hits just kept a comin'; $10s of BILLIONs in loses from piss poor management. The estimated loss (public sources) for Gorgon was over $30 Billion and a multi-year delay before first production. Within two weeks of that meeting I put in the notice, took terminal leave and haven't turned back 'til now. ...so glad I left. Oops! I probably skipped a few micro-pauses writing this.... bad, bad, bad.

Contractors related to Chevron supervisors are safe.

Contractors will continue working until their service / maintenance / consulting contracts either expire, or can be terminated. It's like a "Take or Pay" clause in a sales contract. Cutting them off beforehand means that Chevron would still have to pay for the balance of the remaining contract term.

Finally, some common sense and ethics. Employees should be able to take consulting jobs.

All contractors jobs will be posted. If a qualified employee posts for their job the contractor will be gone. CVX cares about there employees more then there contractors. But remember a lot of the contractors are highly specialized unlike a lot of master of nothing employees.

I worked with serval contractors and believe me ,they just come up with BS to their existence. They have no skin in the game and all they care is $$$.

In one instance they could cost the company millions of dollar with no retribution.

Our team getting ROM'ed and the contractors working with us were told not to worry. In face, our contractors are making fun of us like WTF? yeah WTF chevron? wtf? So much for feeding us that bullshit about chevron cares about their employees and what not!!! chevron is like that ho who tells her man you are everything to me, until she can do without his ass and she dumps him the first chance she gets!!!

40% contractors gone

You don't have to go through the biased PMP process, nor get drug tested. You are much safer than the employees

Learn to spell or you will get axed
