So the numbers are in. About 3500 layoffs last year and currently about 4,000 in progress. He did not show the number of contractors.
The most vague slide was the Horizon's slide. Not much detail on what made up that chart. I would like to see what the effect on Horizons has been given the current state of the company.
@3uzi, surely the Horizons employee you say took their own life had nothing to do with Chevron. Sadly, we hear of too many young people these days committing suicide. Most of them because of depression or drugs. Certainly you wouldn't be implying that pressure on the job at Chevron was a cause, are you?
Last weekend - a horizons drilling engineer took an early exit from dis wurld.
-1wts dumbass, talking about the Horizons training budget. Pull your head out. Guessing you are lousy mentor or too busy furthering your own career. If it werent for cpdep you wouldnt know how to tie your shoe.
Last poster summed it up beautifully. You mentor without compensation, acknowledgement, or expectation that it will be recognized and fiscally rewarded. You do it based on a deep entrenched value system that recognizes potential talent in the raw and desires to help shape and grow the individual/s to their fullest potential.
People say that being a teacher is one of the noblest professions, but I beg to differ. That accolade is reserved for those that learn, then DO in the real world, ultimately culminating in a position where one can mentor the next generation on the job. We have a great deal many highly educated morons in this company with zero work ethic. We don't make money by cramming for tests, we making money by doing actual work.
Mentoring a new employee has always been a voluntary action. It is provided freely by an experienced and caring employee. It's not a job or a billable service. Mentoring is an intangible service that has no fixed price. But, for the person giving it and the employee receiving it, is measured in appreciation and growth. The payoff for everyone involved, including the company is limitless. To one degree or another, everyone can be a mentor to a new employee. Your time and contribution may have its constraints, but will no doubt be appreciated.
What happened last weekend?
Lol. Yes no Horizons budget. Everything is directly billed. How do you directly bill mentoring. The upstream kids have been screwed for 10 years. No field understanding, learning horrible leadership behaviors, zero accountability......I can go on and on. But when a 3 year drilling engineer that has never sat on a rig is the rule rather than the exception, program sucks!
Horizons slide to put a lid on the rumble that program is no more. There is no Horizons budget for 2016. Ask your supervisor for the billing code. Horizons moral slipping. Especially after what happened last weekend. Good luck with campus recruiting in the future. Sad to see us in the same recruiting shithole we were in 20 yrs ago when nobody wanted to work at Chevron and the majority of offers made were turned dowwn. We have a great enterprise campus hiring crew and it is sad to see all the hard work they have put in to get our offer acceptance rate up go poof in less than a year.
4000 more to be laid off in 2016
OP:
3Q15 earnings stated 6-7K employees and a like number of contractors.
