I have been looking through the jobs on the CTO and notice that if you click on them to read the descriptions to the left of the description there is a "posting type" classification. Most have a CL in that field but some have a "P". Does anyone know what that is supposed to mean or imply?

I wouldn't consider placed jobs a "dead end." The vast majority of leadership jobs are placed, and high performing leaders will advance to their next placed job assuming the perform well (in an ideal world, of course). In IT, Career ladder jobs will typically top out at PSG 22-23, with the exception of a handful of harder to fill roles.
If you are an employee like @Glh9okr-bvn, and all you have learned from working your first job out of school as a newbee dweeb is how to insult someone with 6 months less experience than you, then you are sad indeed and rightfully here on the "thelayoff.com" website, where you belong.
@bvn, don't be an ass with snippy remarks. The question is a valid one. I'm sure there many hourly office employees or O&M field workers who have worked at Chevron for 5 years who never heard of what a Career Ladder position is. The question is valid and I provided an answer. Obviously it was appreciated by the poster who asked the question. Learn to support your colleagues or be prepared to be tossed out one day when you least expect it.
If you work in Chevron for more than 2 years and do not know the difference between career ladder type of job and Placed then it is sad indeed.
@wnu-thanks for your answer. Very helpful. It is ver much appreciated.
Career Ladder positions are jobs that span a range of 2 to 3 Pay Grades. This provides the incumbent the opportunity to be promoted within the same job without the hurdles imposed by Human Resource's Renumeration Department. Of course, the promotion from one pay grade to a higher one in the career ladder is predicated by the needs of the OPCO.
The Placed position is a job with a fixed pay grade. Once you've risen to the maximum level that pay grade is allowed to pay, you are stuck without getting a raise. Some people consider these "dead-end" jobs.
What is the significance of career ladder versus placed?
CL- career Ladder
P - Placed
