Chevron filed a WARN notice with the state of California last week, announcing plans to lay off approximately 600 employees at its former headquarters in San Ramon.

Chevron said the layoffs are part of efforts to streamline its organizational structure, improve efficiency, and enhance the company's long-term competitiveness.

"This means we will have fewer positions and, unfortunately, fewer people," Henry Perea, Manager of State Government Affairs at Chevron, wrote in the notice. 

"In accordance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, this letter is to advise that we expect a reduction at our Chevron Lakeside location of approximately 600 employees. The first layoffs subject to WARN will begin June 1, 2025," Perea said.

In February, Chevron announced plans to lay off up to 20 percent of its company-wide workforce over the next year, possibly including those employed at Richmond's 123-year-old refinery.

Last fall, the company said that it planned to relocate its headquarters from San Ramon, where it has been based for the last twenty-three years, to Houston, Texas, as part of a planned migration of its corporate team out of California. 

When asked if the planned layoffs would directly impact employees at the Richmond Refinery, a Chevron spokesperson told *Grandview*, "We expect fewer positions across the entire company."

The company said that responsible leadership requires taking these steps to improve the company's long-term competitiveness for its people, shareholders, and communities.
