Take for instance the Control Center. Seems just about everyone there is related - someone's son, son-n-law, mother, father, uncle, aunt, cousin - and the list goes on. How can someone keep a job that has no years of experience, being right out of college with a sports degree over a 15+ exp employee. I think its wrong - but is it legally wrong. Why are supervisors and leads children recruited over an experienced college degreed individual?

It's obvious that @FRilSWZ-Qosf is a butthurt loser who either lost or is getting ready to lose his job since they found out he is rotten deadwood and needs to make excuses by blaming someone else. You'd best just move on with your life and quit making up insults and spewing the hatred and vitriol, child.
HR, CBRES, ITC, ETC and GOM have the highest percentage of nepotism. With all the ROMs, the percentage of friends and family has increased. The inner circle of inbreds survive. That is why major boondoggles like Gorgon, Wheatstone and Angola go forward. There are godsons, nephews and in-laws giving each other 1s and 2+s and saying yes sir to major capital projects.
@Lekm, excellent analogy. That is what nepotism breeds in the workplace. I hope our executive management pays attention to this matter and starts bringing things under control.
Studies of monkeys that reward monkey A with a banana for pushing a button while giving monkey B a slice of a cucumber for the same task, show what happens with nepotism. Workers notice the unearned favoritism and give up trying hard and soon leave. At Chevron, it is the deadwood that stays
Nepotism in CBRES and GOM is outrageous. It is illegal when it deprives qualified candidates who as non relatives, are different nationalities, race, religions and political preference. Nepotism is next used to promote relatives and lay off non relatives.
In my BU, I work for my father-in-law but it was't always like that. I ended up marrying his daughter, my wife, who also works in our department, after I knocked her up. Dang she still looks good in those short skirts and high heels! Whoa! We have 4 kids now together. If she keeps on bending over her desk like that all the time showing her loveliness It may not be long before she has another. I'm not 100% sure if the second one's mine - he don't even look a bit like me, but I love him like my own. That's all that counts as far as I'm concerned.
Nepotism is a form of corruption. Just analyze that for a moment. You'll figure out what u just said is true.
In GOM it is an art form. Sons working for their dads direct reports plus hiring anyone in COV son to work as a guarantee of protection.
You are kidding, right? In PNZ Kuwait, all new Saudi employees have their father or uncle working with Chevron. In fact, the new recruitment form specifically asks if a male member is working for Chevron. This automatically guarantees you a job!
In my department, a husband and wife report to the same supervisor. Maybe that's not against the law, but it's a very stupid thing to allow.
All the favored employees are put into closed positions. The April selection process is a drama. If you do not have contact, start preparing for life without Chevron.
It is wrong, but unfortunately not illegal. Personally I wouldn't want to work for the same company as a close relative even if I knew I was qualified, just as a matter of principle.

I work for a BU where there's several sons working for their good ole boy dads that hold Lead and Supervisor positions. One supervisors kid was a stocker at HEB with no experience and beat out several college degreed applicants. I call bullshit on that!!
I can tell for a fact that at least in SJVBU there is nepotisam rampant every where. They should do something at least during upcoming ROM.
I work with people who have parents that work at Chevron, and it only makes them work harder. They know that there will always be some out there that will cry Nepotism and run off and whine anonymously on a forum. They could care less because they don't have time to read, much less post rebuttals.
I worked at a company where two people met, dated and when they got married, one had to quit. Lots of companies have nepotism policies. Chevron blows my mind, with what they allow.
That's right. That's what I propose. No person can be hired into Chevron if they have a relative already working there. Most employees and by a long shot, would favor this proposal.
Don't be naive. There's nepotism at every company and Chevron has comparably the least amount that I've ever witnessed. What do you think you will do, change the world? A person who own's the company or runs the division can't hire their daughter in admin.? Give me a break. You guys are whiny baby victims who just don't like America. OK - from here on out, none of your children or relatives can ever work for Chevron or any other company that you've ever worked for, for that matter.
Every company should (and some already do) have knowledge of every employee's relationship to one another. There needs to be a constant check on nepotism and processes to ensure favoritism does not exist.
Stockholders will make note. Nepotism is illegal when fat cats get the jobs and promotions over well-qualified candiates.
Nepotism has been around for decades. Always will be.
Just remember who's doing it and when times are good again, DON'T work for THOSE companies.
The only thing illegal in hiring practices is discrimination of a protected class...race, religion, gender, etc. Nepotism is not illegal.
There is no law against Nepotisim
It's not legal
Nepotism thigh being highly questionable is not illegal.
