Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

So who is actually doing any work these days?

In MCBU and the mood around here has shifted from anxiety to extreme boredom. Nobody is doing any work and no one is even trying to hide it anymore. It's like the stages of grief and now everyone is at the calm acceptance part and many people are actively planning a future life without Chevron including some very talented people that Chevron foolishly put in-scope. My inbox which used to average 100+ emails a day has gone literally silent.

I do understand the need for this ROM but this has got to be a massive waste of money and a huge disruption to the normal flow of business.

I show up on time for work everyday. While at the office, I do what is needed to get as much done and finish my day. After all, the old saying, "90% of being successful is showing up", is very true.

@GyeQXdQ-6vwv, Don't be scared you poor little disheartened baby! You must have something to lose and don't live from paycheck to paycheck like most of us. You will find another job dear. Maybe Walmart or McDonalds needs another poor pitiful destitute loser.

All of you here are scared. You won't be able to control your near future. won't be able to do anything. All your money your "earned" for many years will disappear soon.

@GyeQXdQ-6gqi, Who are you directing your post at? I ask because it's pretty vague. Seems there are plenty of angry posts, particularly the "end of the world as we know it" person. Seems everyone else is laughing at her.

I have been noticing that the Chicken Little Butthurt Deadwood Loser Douchebag has been dropping his Chicken $hit on a lot of these threads lately. Nice to see some new blood in here. Shall we wring his little butthurt loser coward chicken neck or just allow him to fall off the Mighty Chevron tree like the rotten piece of deadwood that he is? I heard if you wring his neck he may run around a while, like a chicken with his head cut off. Of course, that may not be much different than his behavior now!!! ROTFLMAO!

The end of the USA (as we know it), perhaps.

@5lbz

I have had the Pleasure of working overseas in this industry, and the Honor of serving in the US Army in other country's. (For the most part third world hell holes)

If the S#!$ hits the Fan. I would not want to be anywhere else but the good old USA.

Complete rubbish what you joke about, 5lbz. Just because the sh-t is hitting the fan, doesn't mean people need to start leaving the country. Just the opposite. Our country is still the place everyone in the world wants to run to. As an American or legal resident, you should be counting your blessings. I'm sure you were joking or stretching the truth in your post, but let's don't too far. America is God's country. Everyone needs to prepare themselves to weather the downturns in the economy hat come from time to time. Most of us over 35 years of age have seen tight times before. We'll all see good times again too.

Run away from this country. The sooner you run, the better chances you have, and more time to settle before tsunami of people start flowing from this country

@5lwv

So what do you suggest sir, should I empty all of my accounts and convert to Silver and Gold? or should I just go straight to buying Beans and Bullets in bulk?

Almost all of you and more than 90% of your colleagues are going to be without jobs, all your savings and retirement money will be gone in less than a year (or two, maximum). all your pension money will be lost. whatever you have on your bank accounts is not going to be accessible by your or your family. no chance to get any money from ATMs. No jobs, no money. Empty grocery stores.

Who is actually doing any work these days, you ask? Not me! Not any real work, unless you call "saving your ass real work. I keep busy by continuing to network with my contacts, inside and out of Chevron. I stay close to my desk and look occupied. I don't commiserate with my buddies at the coffee pot for too long (managers are looking for targets to let go). I read this layoff site on my personal iPhone and hope for the best. But I cannot concentrate on busting asson the job right now. My main concern is centered on survival and staying clear of the axe.

I work for AMBU. And it's the same deal. No work. Just look busy. Told human resources and they said listen to your boss. They can pay me to sit and do nothing but I would rather work.

That's an interesting comment; "They will fail in the real world. When they get payed off they will realize their skill set is not adequate." considering that I took the severance and within a few weeks have a job with a competitor with better pay and benefits. We do much more than O & G, BTW. Nothing "scary" about it. Is that the sort of arrogance and ignorance that they breed at Midcon? I feel bad for you and your supervisor. You shouldn't be burning bridges if you know what's best for you.

Talk about morale... most people in my BU go to lunch at 11:00 and slowly coming back to their cubicle at 12:30 or 1:00 pm. A manager I know come in at 8 am and leave at 3:00 pm for the last 3 weeks.

It has been noted company wide the slow down in productivity. The haters on this thread don't understand hard work. They will fail in the real world. When they get payed off they will realize their skill set is not adequate. I am in Midcon too. I am not in scope.

The scary part is Midcon and deep water are the core business's of Chevron moving forward. Chevron will get 20% of its production from the Permian in the next 8 years. With these massive layoffs here I don't think it bodes well for the others.

@GyeQXdQ-gpp, We know that people like you would love to be with your underdeveloped brethren, but it's going to be a few centuries, at least, if that ever happens. You and I will be long gone. Enjoy your oil and gas fired generator powered and 90% hydrocarbon derivative constructed Chevi Volt. Life is good!

What's new? You should get a job in IBU. SOP.

Did you know that Indo has the worlds 3rd largest population?!

Neither did I... or anyone else... because it's a total $sh--hole. Evolution stopped here a few thousand years ago. Just like the Middle East. I can't wait until oil ceases to become the global fuel source and these places revert to the jungle, sands, ... whatever the place is where animals are better than humans.

Dumbass. Why wouldn't they be laying people off with no work? You think you deserve a paycheck? With thoughts like that, no wonder you are in scope.

Speak for yourself. We are busy enough here, a little less than usual is all. I wouldn't come in everyday to sit on my hands. Make yourself useful, if it's even possible.
