Gets worse every year.

I grew up in Midland and worked for Pioneer. I am watching with alarm as jobs are being shifted to Houston, Argentina, and India. It looks like the only jobs that will be left in Midland are operations. I am an engineer. Pioneer offered career growth... — read more 

Had a mid career experienced hire employee tell me he just likes to keep his head down and let his work speak for itself. He is on the fast track for a PIP. The psychos will notice and take huge advantage of him. I tried to warn him.

Saw COED mentioned in a post and have heard it mentioned before but have no idea what it stands for or how the process works. It has to do with approving roles but that is all I know. Meets once a month? Who can shed light on this? What does it stand... — read more 

Remember how at GP long time employees had assigned parking spots? VPs even had a separate section on the ground floor. Then when we moved to EMHC it was announced that there would be no assigned parking for anyone even VPs. It sure wasn’t long... — read more 

The people running Exxon have no clue what they're doing. They're making terrible calls that are going to sink the company and take all our jobs with it. Does anyone have faith they can actually steer us to safety?

Hey XOM people. We’ll be adopting your forced ranking system this year, PIPs for 0.7s etc. So many rumors here and nothing from management when we ask so I thought I’d go to the source. Is the distribution by team regardless of size or does the... — read more

Is XOM starting to high grade and dispose challenged operating assets? 1000 wells struggling to produce 12000 bopd on a good day. Subsurface expecting substantial declines in production and limited appetite for further exploration and development

Work used to excite me as did the careers within a career promise. Wish I still felt that way.

Something strange going on at EMHC science building this week? A lot of visitors. What is going on?

Do we think there will be another wave of job cuts? Sometimes it seems like the goal is to eliminate every position here.

Does anyone know where the Eagleford asset that is for sale is located in Texas?

Looking back, did your life and career turn out the way you expected by 2016?

I suspect a co-worker to have a false PhD, and I have considered reaching out to the legitimate university to see if they have a record of this individual’s degree. I’m not going to confront this individual about it, but if I bring this to HR’s... — read more 

Heads up that off cycle PIPs do happen at Exxon. I was put on one this week outside the usual review window after generally positive feedback. Posting so others are not caught off guard. Document everything and ask for clear expectations.

New business line announced! PSMS for the win! How many people and hours are spent on PSMS? We should have a separate job code for PSMS. The PSMS monstrosity just keeps growing bigger and bigger and bigger.

I’ve agreed to go out for an interview with a competitor. Never thought it would be me looking for roles outside of XOM. I’ve enjoyed my career for the most part, and have generally been ranked well in my 10 years. Past couple of years I got 10%+... — read more

Interesting choice of photos for the HR email. Five employees shown in four separate photos. All very diverse. So proud to be a part of such a diverse company that is so focused on DEI!

Management keeps saying how they cannot get any Americans to work in the Permian but then those who want to work in then Permian are told their career is limited and ranked poorly for not being mobile. WTF?

Ever wonder why your management says such nice things to you about your future with the company and potential but then ranks you poorly? It is because they need you to stay and be the one to take the low ranking!

God knows how it will all play out, not only for our company. And let's face it, it won't make any difference for us lowly folks either way. The axe never stops swinging, and nobody will value your hard work or the risks you take anyway.

Clearly little to no thought is placed into next roles for those of us who aren’t hipos. Tried to have a discussion on my interests with D&S and it was clear they didn’t care. Looking at job boards now.

Thank you DW. His great strategy is paying off.
