Chevron poised to wield jobs axe



By Upstream staff 

Chevron said in a regulatory filing that after implementing a restructuring plan last year, about 1100 employees were eligible for severance payments, with the US supermajor adding that it is poised to make a slew of job cuts.

Severance payments for about 300 staffers, mostly outside the US, had already been made as of 31 March, Chevron said in a filing with the US Securities & Exchange Commission.

The majority of job cuts are expected to occur this year, and the programme is expected to be completed by the end of next year, Chevron said in the filing.
