Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

@arrd, Thanks for that. After reading this thread and the responses, it has been made crystal clear that the post by 2ody is 100% unequivocal BS, just some belly-aching by him to further his false narrative. We get that a lot on this site. Trolls who post BS stories as an attempt to make a false exaggerated claim seem true to the average reader, when after all is said and done, it's 100% fiction.

I had a similar experience with the package. There is no conspiracy there, no "behind closed doors" winner choosing, etc. In fact, if you are not encouraged to take a package, be thankful. You may be one of the few who are worth keeping.

I was involved in several mergers and layoffs not during mergers and I found that the process was quite typical. There's a decent enough chance that you will get what you want as far as EOI requests. And I am still working happily with some who did not receive the package when they wanted it. There will most likely be more chances. The world didn't come to an end, no one harboring resentment, ill feelings, life goes on. Business as usual. Don't believe all the rhetoric on this site, take it with a grain of salt.

8zge, Yes, that is true, dbag. Consider yourself "swatted".....

@8cff, I always strive to bring value to the conversation, if it’s if interest to me to leave a comment. It’s only once in a while that one has to swat the flies.

@8mkc, bring some value to the conversation or gfy. Choice is yours, dbag.

Wow @6crp. 5 positive reactions to your pathetic rant. That only proves how off balance you are. I’m sure all positives came from the one and only YOU. You need emotional help you pour soul. Don’t take anonymous posts so personal. Nobody cares.

to ilkx, as I recall in the Texaco merger, all of the manpower reductions ended up being voluntary. I do not recall any worries about any ROM. I only recall that they were more worried about too many people leaving voluntarily. I only had 20 years service back then and I did not take it.

Yes, as you said, that's very sad and indicative of "no life or friends" that you would be here trolling continuously for so long that you would know that, 6qcr.

3 posts within 1 hour. Wow, pathetic the way you react to an anonymous troll. Only shows you are a bigger troll yourself. Have no life or friends? There you go, proving to yourself the real loser you are. Sad.

Oh Lord @6dfj, I’m enjoying it. I don’t know if I enjoy more reading your childish rants or sensing you’ are coming apart at the seams. Maybe it’s both? LMAO ROTFL. Hahahaha. Sorry fool. Keep it coming. It’s not midnight yet.

Did old Butthurt Big Butt Betty stick it to popcorn boy? I'm not surprised. I have seen her on here before. She will crush you and put you in your place. And catch you in a BS lie, like she obviously just did to 5vlc ,5abb, 4upz, (all the same cowardly person) the $hit-mouth dude who curses old women online thinking he's tough, the infamous coward type who posts on here that the old gal generally talks into a corner until they go running off with their tail between their legs like this child did. I love it when that happens. I just wish mommies basement boi would come back to get his A$$ kicked by Butthurt Betty again. It's priceless., it really is. "Remember this post".... heee he he he he he ha ha ha Oh my God please help me! What a LOSER with a Capital L!!!! he he "Remember this post" hoo hoo hoo he he he he , Pass the Popcorn , Loser Boy!!!!!!

5vlc, Oh yeah, keep it coming popcorn boy - LMAO! We all believe You are just relaxing over there in mommies basement but can't help continuing like a pathetic little 5 year old child with a pathetic come-back with egg all over your face after every post. ROTFL! Keep em comingl pathetic B-slapped rrloser. Maybe you need old 80 year old gal betty boop to make you feel like a real anonymous coward, hurling profanities from your mommies basement behind the safety of your keyboard, pathetic little weakling loser ? Ha HA HA HA!!!!! Yeah buddy, you really are suited to give severance package advice - on how to LOSE and get SHAFTED like a loser LMAO!!!!!!!!

@5uji, I’m laughing my @ss off watching how the truth is bothering you so much. It’s you going on with the cone-backs. I’m not worried at all, but can’t help laughing at very time you come back with a conniption fits over anonymous posts and taking it so seriously. Too funny

Yes that's pretty funny how you get b-slapped by some old lady because you couldn't admit that you are wrong so you started lashing out with profanities -😁 lol.

Then you keep on foaming from the mouth and your head explodes and you start having delusions about every poster who disagrees with you being the same person. I see that a lot on here from all the pathetic losers who are clueless. Don't stop now though, watching someone get B-slapped into a froth after being proven wrong is quite entertaining! How's that karma working out for you? Lm@ss off all day long! Please come back and get some more salt in your open wounds. I'm sure the other readers want to watch you embarrass yourself some more too, 5abb.

😂 😁 😂

It seems to me that @5cox and the other previous posters going by “Old gal” and “Butthurt Betty” are one and the same person. Funny though how this person needs to reiterate again and again cutie comments that try to build up his/her original post. Sad, sad, sad. This my friends, is an example of how losers with low self esteem operate. Go get some help before the world eats you alive. I’m here laughing my A** off.

Old Gal (or Butthurt Betty), your number will always come up, usually when you last expect it. It’s calked Karma. You may be ready to quit and leave, but Karma always has the last laugh. Remember this post.

3ebr, You poor lil thing. Did someone hit a raw nerve dear? So sorry if that happened. My number has not come up for quite a few years now. I am ready to call it quits. tho. Do you promise that my number will come up? I would like to book the condo. LMAO!

@2kha (Ol Gal) aka smug arrogate old b!tch. Your number will come up soon enough. It always does. Remember this post.

Maybe you run with the wrong crowd. None of my colleagues have been treated poorly. Of course, they are not the incompetent, do-nothing. long lunch, leave early all the time, take credit for other's work types either. Been around since before the Gulf merger.

@2vxa, your experience is different, but I’ve encountered this with several others I know across 3 lay-off periods in Chevron history going back to 1994. Those colleagues who were anxious to retire, talked to many others about wanting to leave and take a severance check out the door with them, guess what? HR or management had other plans for them. No such luck. Four safety specialists in a workgroup and only one of them wanting to volunteer and take the severance. Well, the other 3 were forcefully retired and my friend told to stay on. The way it ended was her retiring a year later, with no fanfare and no severance check. I can tell of other similar circumstances, but you get the idea. The company screwed then for making their wishes to bail a little too public.

If you are ready to retire and are salivating at the chance to grab a sweet severance check when you walk out the door, don’t make the mistake of advertising it. Don’t mention your wishes to retire to anyone. Once they know you want to call it quits, they’ll just keep you on and wait until you quit on your own or leave shortly after the layoffs are over. That’s right, HR and most senior management would like to screw you out of your wet dream. They think those opportunities are reserved only for them.

grabs popcorn

Another classic Chevron thread - took only 2 posts for it to sink to the usual level.

@1uzv did the Texaco merger trigger a ROM on the Chevron side?

Yes, Chevron's acquisition of Texaco triggered Texaco's anti-takeover poison pill terms. All Texaco employees were entitled to a voluntary severance with 4 weeks for every year of service up to 2 years of salary. Chevron employees were not happy with that and O'Reilly then approved the same opportunity for Chevron employees a couple of weeks later.

Just looked the particulars up, the Texaco acquisition was worth 36 billion back in 2000. That's about 50% bigger than the Anadarko deal now, considering that Chevron's stock is 50% higher than back in 2000.

Nobody was offered voluntary severance at the C-T merger. However, Texaco employees were allowed to maneuver to jobs which gave them their preferred post-merger outcome. If they wanted severance they were moved to a clearly redundant group or one which implied a required move which would trigger severance. This greatly angered the older Chevroids who had no such benefit.

The standard of education on here is regrettable.

1hcz ooh, you poor wittle baby! Did someone hit a raw nerve with you and caused you to give up the reason you are so angry, that you are illiterate and uneducated? We all feel so bad for you.. No it's not too late, you can still learn. maybe. Maybe not. I won't waste 50 bucks on you though. Pay for it yourself.

1nof - why don’t you borrow fifty bucks and get an education.

1msc, Yes, that's close but not correct."@his" lol, I thought your generation learned by now how to copy & paste. Need a lesson? I think your diaper needs changing, kiddo, better tend to that - lol!

gramps @his, wasn't the Chevron-Gulf merger 33 years ago? You should be long gone by now, troll.

I was offered one during the Chevron-Gulf merger, son.
