Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

avbb, yes, but many new-grads are liberal millennials just like them and will fit in quite nicely. Also, since they're not looking here for advice, like most sensible recent grads, makes those comments quite futile.

Chevron is a toxic mix of good old boys and girls mixed with a heavy influence of liberal new speak. New grads should look at other companies.

"Most employees"?

Most don't read this site, just the ones wanting to read hilarious banter.

I am a current students and yes we are looking all angles before making a decisions. To give honest feed back, I would rather go and work for another company. What students are noticing:

1. Chevron just went through a lot of layoffs, why would I as a student coming into a exciting career want to go where they are laying off. My job might not be secure. I have student debt.

2. Chevron debt is rising, so my questions is: Why is the dividend going up or staying the same, but you let your employees go?

3. It looks like all the employees current and former have many issues. Every company has it's good or bad, but it is good that we can come to social media sites and see comments like layoff.com. It tells us the atmosphere is toxic.

4. I notice that they had fatalities - 2 in three months? Am I going to be safe?

5. A few of us also noticed that during the layoffs the CEO was playing golf? We all laughed, but shouldn't he not be in his office being considerate to his employees.

6. We also look at other review sites and have noticed that it is the same.

I am not saying that I would not take the job, but it just seems that most of the employees have problems with management.

@OBgXh5M-5fll, I am a college graduate, retired from Chevron and had a great career and was treated generously and have a host of retirement options to carry on with. Just because you feel that you were not treated fairly because you were laid off for whatever reason doesn't mean that everyone else is incompetent or unlucky also and will follow your footsteps. In addition, "Recent" college graduates looking for employment generally do not look for it in, or frequent "layoffs" websites. It's laughable how many posters on this site think that this pathetic website is read by everyone in the world, with millions of websites available, many with actual truthful information to share, unlike this cesspool of misinformation propagated by disgruntled ex-employees.

College graduates. Read this blog. This is a sick company. Avoid it. Any job offer from Chevron is fake news. They will not honor it. You will have no long term career. Just a career of uncertainty

Since you understand how the North Koreans feel about it, you should also see things my way. Speaking your mind in North Korea can get you killed. Speaking your mind at Chevron can kill your career.

You're not alone. North Koreans also keep their mouths shut and just get on with their jobs.

@4ovc, speaking up at Chevron is sometimes taken as stepping one someone's toes (usually your boss or a manager with clout). I prefer to keep my mouth shut and do my job. I'm responsible for my own safety, not my boss.

Why should it be career-ending if you speak up? You associate that type of oppression with the uneducated or the great unwashed. Your working culture is backward-looking and inferior.

At least we know they are reading the comments. Let's just see how they are going to fix it...... This is why I posted on the other post. If you speak up then it is career ending. Exactly, so the two that had fatalities could we have saved them by speaking up. Then get canned because we did and it would be career ending. Inclusion and Diversity 101. What happened to the Right People for the Right Job? I hope that we don't see other incidents due to not having the right person in place. Again middle management not paying attention, they just wanted to say "oh I worked on that" great pmp builder.... Just like brothers, cousins and my best friend Awwww.......

@1auw my apologies

Chevron asks for total commitment from its employees, esp, HES at jobsites. But it's clear now that Chevron isn't going to return the favor. It's not whiney to complain about broken trust.

OP...keep quiet and look for a sane company to give your best.

Geez there are some dumb folk on here.

Hey @1zwg. Have some reverence. The name of our All Mighty is spelled with a capital "G", okay?

What a bunch of whiny millennials. My god

Baloney

Op keep fighting. Very similar situation in other functions. Eventually the hammer will come down. But these folks have to prove themselves ineffective to their leaders first

Just another low end minority hire who cannot write, read or speak proper english.

Did someone who works for Chevron actually post this?:

"We really neeed yu to stop acting like child. Act like adult."

Well, if so, there's one of Chevron's big problems. Illiteracy.

Looking at employees' comments on here don't think that would work.

OP, our leaders should be chosen by the employees themselves, not by upper management. That's the mistake.

We really neeed yu to stop acting like child. Act like adult.

To the Bosses out there, your "Coward" comment really makes me shiver in my boots. kiss my wrinkled behind. Rather than resort to name calling spend a minute considering what the people have said about your competence, but then your response says it all. Try being an inspiring leader bringing your team together and there are many like that out there that dont get a mention on this site, yes you are one of the few. I take it the truth hurts just a little.

OP hang in there and keep up the fight to get it right.

You are thick as mince boy

Why would you be surfing around and posting on "Layoffs" websites if you have a job? If you are worried about the security of your job and the work environment is getting unbearable or toxic, then you look for another job. Look for a job at a different company or in another field altogether. That's the way it's done, that's the way career professionals do it and that's the way it's been done for years including well before the pathetic Internet ever existed that allows coward postings. You don't go complain anonymously on a website. Pick yourself up and go after it. You can do it.

Fortunately, what the Internet DOES offer are links, sites, etc. to other jobs and professions that may be available for you and everyone else. Use it wisely, not to make futile complaints anonymously.
