First of all, the labor law restricts what kind of information can be provided to other companies. Chevron adheres to the law in the strictest manner. Chevron will only divulge that you were an employee of Chevron and the last position you held. They will not provide your salary (not even a range), nor the reason you left the company. That's how limited the information would be. Second, it's Chevron's policy to not provide a recommendation. I recently left Chevron, and when I asked my supervisor to provide Their name as a reference, I was told he could not. My supervisor was willing to do this for me, but was alerted to the company's policy by the department manager. It's unfortunate that folks being terminated cannot even rely on a supervisor helping them out, but that's Chevron's policy. So, to your allegation... it's completely false that someone will be rolled under the bus by Chevron after they are terminated. In fact, just the opposite. The information provided to prospective employers will be very limited and will only serve to prove that you did work here before, nothing more.

Clueless 919 again ...
Instead of taking any blame for billions of dollars in mismanaged projects, Chevron blames and cuts the workers. While getting the boot they are identified as poor performers. That is a nice parting gift.
The HR/low-level manager who posted this topic is paid to lie to protect the company from legal trouble.
In my experience, a reference or recommendation was not necessary for jumping ship to another company. The new employer would not bother to call my old employer simply because they were basically stealing me away. The new employer understood that the old employer only stood to lose by me leaving and it would'nt benefit them to assist in providing a reference. The only time I have seen that recommendation helps is for an internal move within the same company.
@Insider... Great, stop talking.
Companies looking for recommendations don't only go to HR to get a reference. Employers look for industry contacts and call people they know for unofficial references. It happens all the time. I know because I have done it when considering employees for hire. Anybody that thinks it does not happen either has their head in the sand or is living in a fantasy world.
Take it from me; I dont have to prove a damn thing to you. People on this post can call and ask about themselfs. Im Done talking!
@Insider... Completely false. Completely untrue what you say.
Here is how it works. whomever calls, and ask the question )are you available for rehire ?) we can burn anybody by just saying no. Dont believe me? Call youself about yourself. Just say your with abc company and want a reference. Too Easy.......
