News of this latest round of layoffs — Chevron calls them “possible” but companies rarely issue a WARN unless job losses are imminent — comes just six months after the company announced plans to move its Gulf of Mexico operation in Lafayette to Covington in phases. That process, as ABiz reported in June of last year, was supposed to be completed by the end of 2016.
