  • Chevron Corp., which recently relocated its headquarters to Houston, plans to lay off from 15% to 20% of its global workforce, roughly 6,000 to 8,000 people, by the end of 2026 to cut costs and simplify its business as profit margins decline.

This move also reflects Chevron's efforts to adapt to the global push for cleaner energy, where investments in renewable energy projects are becoming increasingly critical.
