Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

2nbu described the Chevron Way. Now in third place. Recent graduates are not applying at Chevron, they no all about the corrupt ranking system, nepotism and kickbacks from vendors.

One thing I know is it will be nice when Chevron gets rid of the deadwood like these children below posting about losers and asswipes, and all the rest of the Beavis and Buttheads on this forum. That would be a different topic though called 'Why bad employees get cut".

Chevron is internally broken. The inability to organically develop effective managers is just a symptom of a much deeper underlying problem. The good ol boy club is alive and well. All the focus on diversity, the Chevron Way, We Lead, Chevron Behaviors, is just window dressing that serves to divert attention from how things really work. At times its entertaining to observe the process.

You elected to not post for any job, 2sqe, because you are a person of integrity and strong conviction. This is a trait that has been eroded quickly in our society since the early 90's. I wish you well if you are left standing and if you are offered a job in Chevron, I would hope to work side by side with.

"Beyond a point, an employee's primary need has less to do with money, and more to do with how he's treated and how valued he feels. Much of this depends directly on the immediate manager." I agree with that 100% and most of my time with CVX has been just that until recently when it seems like all they are out for is the interests of themselves and the bottom line at any cost. The human element that existed in the 80's & 90's is long gone. That's why I put an X in the box and did not post for anything.

Again @1ihk, must I repeat myself? YOU are the only loser and asswipe on this layoff site.

@FZjpOHw-1hsv if this website is full of losers and asswipes then count yourself too, after all it's the layoffs board and you're posting on it!!!

This loser (@1psn) and the asswipe that spews the term "Dead Wood" all over this site are one in the same person. A total fool with nothing else to do. Find yourself a woman or a job to occupy yourself with.

I see all the little wussie millennial dipshits with no balls got home and started typing on mommies PC that she let's her children hide behind to act all tough and pretend that they are big boyz with actual Gonads!!! ROTFLMAO!

Hey @1dld, you go ahead and post your real CAI and show some real balls and follow it up with your name as well. Are you so ignorant as to not realize all these anonymous posts on this site are hiring a nerve at Chevron? Most everyone, including HR and management knows this site. They read the posts and know that most are legitimately true. All who work at Chevron can easily distinguish what comments resonate with the truth and which don't. Posting the truth anonymously has more value and weight than putting your silly CAI after it. When the truth is all around you and you can't isolate it to an individual, the cowardly people responsible for this mess and all the protests run in fear. Who is to know if the person who posted the last truth you read is sitting in the cubicle next to you?

All you guys calling out the "wussies" for typing behind a keyboard are doing the exact same thing. Hiding behind a keyboard. If you think you are such an e-thug, feel free to start signing off with your actual CAI after every post. You wussy.

It seems like some of you have supervisor in your title, and might actually feel a bit guilty about doing a poor job. If you were doing a great job, you wouldn't feel the need to respond in such a manner. Truth hurts!

Sorry, children, @1yzd. is right. Cowards each and every one of you. Little wussies complaining to each other anonymously on a site that no one cares about but the poster at the time he/she posts and a few anonymous readers. Like little grade school kids that learned to cry to each other and jerk each other off is what it amounts to.

Right on the money. You will be out in the next ROM if you have the "guts to expose" your fat slob, bully boss, to her bastard boss. HR works forks for the middle managers. You will be targeted. Expose them with stories to the media and online forums like thelayoff.com

@1yzd U a true idiot. Talking directly to your supervisor about the truth is a "non Chevron way behavior" that will show up in your PMP and eventually get you fired /romed. Ask me how I know :-)

There is life after Chevron lads

Remember your words @1yzd. These layoffs are not over yet. We may be hearing your views on this site when Chevron delivers your notification letter. And don't think we are so stupid to talk plainly to our supervisors about the complaints we have. Shmuck.

Plenty of Insulting Cowards on this thread that need to to be cut. These lay-offs will clean out a lot of this trash. No respectable employees worth their salt would go to a layoffs forum and anonymously post insults from behind the keyboard like cowards. They would man up and tell these supervisors to their faces........

Ein- You are on target. I raised my hand because I found the same flunky level of kiss ups and bullies to staff.

I tend to see the point @1drd is making. Employees leave for reasons of both a bad supervisor and a bad company. I think you have a chance to escape a bad supervisor by posting out to another job within the same company. But what does an employee do who can't stand the company because of the culture created by bad management or that doesn't offer a future to that employee. There's no escaping except for out the front door.

That's not true, people leave both. You can usually put up with a dick head supervisor, hard to put up with a company ran by lying selfish no good dick heads. Unless your untalented and know that you can't go anywhere else because your useless.

I have a person I report to that is neither "super" or a "visor". He is more of a "dick" than a "head".

True...nobody leaves a company, or job....they leave a supervisor.

Managers should test the supervisors under their direction by asking an employee to confront their supervisor with an idea or request that requires an expense authority decision. The manager will see how the supervisor handles the request and will act appropriately on their PMP. We don't need to pay people in supervisory positions that can't or won't carry out their functions.

I know so many supervisors that won't make an executive decision that's well within their delegation of authority. Instead, they will go answer-shopping all over the place often times too afraid to bring up the topic with their own boss out of fear they will be looked upon as weak and indecisive. A supervisor who can't make decisions within their DOA, shouldn't have their job.

This is the main reason I raised my hand last year after nearly 20 years with the company and consistent 2+ evals. And it wasn't because of 1 supervisor/manager. It was because of multiple poor supervisors/managers that i experienced first hand over 5 years. That along with the realization that chevron just doesn't have a robust supervisor/manager training program so the problem isn't getting fixed in the majority population. When the majority of supervisors/managers have to rely on networking to learn their skills and gain reward, its a fatal flaw in the culture. I bet you'll find that in some management expert's book.

No stretch of the imagination needed to know the truth in that. Would be be novel idea for Chevron to get rid of the bad supervisors instead?
