HR figured out that round 3 would get 2016 vacation added to their layoff package, so they moved the notification up 2 weeks to once again screw the lower salary grades. Round 1 and 2 received their 60 day notice the same week as those told they had a job and those who did not were given their WARN notice and their 60 days started then. This is nothing unusual, as Tiffany Neu always reminds everyone, employees pay grade 21 and above add value, and those below are just support. So for all us in Round 3 who calculated your total dollars if you get laid off need to remove the 2016 vacation from your list (screwed again).
Even if I do get a job after round 3, my opinion of Chevron will never be the same. This style of layoff is very degrading, discriminating (being white is not an advantage) stressful and downright humiliating.
