Chevron is one of the world's largest integrated energy companies, headquartered in San Ramon, California. The company operates in oil and gas exploration, production, refining, and chemical manufacturing across more than 180 countries. Chevron employs roughly 43,000 people.
Chevron has conducted layoffs during oil price downturns, most notably cutting about 7,000 jobs in 2015-2016 when crude prices collapsed. The company also reduced headcount during the 2020 pandemic-era oil price crash. WARN filings from Chevron typically reflect refinery closures, operational consolidations, and responses to commodity price cycles.
Chevron has navigated the energy industry's cyclical downturns by maintaining a relatively conservative balance sheet compared to peers. The company has been slower than European oil majors to invest in renewable energy, instead focusing on carbon capture, hydrogen, and lower-carbon intensity oil and gas production. Its attempted $33 billion acquisition of Hess Corporation (announced in 2023) represents a bet on long-life oil assets in Guyana.
Chevron is managing the energy transition by investing selectively in lower-carbon technologies while continuing to develop oil and gas assets. The company relocated its headquarters from San Ramon, California, to Houston, Texas, in 2024. Workforce adjustments continue to reflect facility-level decisions driven by commodity prices and operational efficiency.

Coverage varies by state.
