Unrealistic Expectations due to Oil Price

Will senior management take any time to address unreasonable workloads following layoffs/reorg? Demands are increasing beyond what was previously handled by a much larger team. I understand we need to improve outcomes but it would make things more... — read more
Ok, Darren, when are you reinstating the 401k match?
We spent a career being told that the pension and 401k match make our salary competitive. We didn’t forget. Our salary is no longer competitive. Click is ticking.

I'm curious, what kind of severance do people who work in other countries get? Is it the same as here or is it a completely different system? Is there anybody from Singapore who was affected in the past few days who wouldn't mind sharing the details... — read more
Potential setting
How does potential setting work? Specifically, are there limits to the potential based on the individuals current CL? In other words when some moves from a CL25 to a CL26, does that allows for a Potential increase as well (say 36 to 38)? Or... — read more

It doesn't matter if it was a layoff, firing, or walking away, I'm truly curious how many people landed in a worse position once they found a new job? All the posts I keep reading here are from people who did much better, but it's naive to think - at... — read more
Nice run...
It was a nice run at EM for the most part. As an experienced hire, I will say that despite EM being a very difficult company to work for in terms of processes from controls to IT, everything was slow and overly complicated and n-o-t-h-i-n-g was... — read more

What do Data Scientists do at Exxon?
I see job openings, what's this???
If management is clueless they have only themselves to blame...
Inevitable result of rewarding those who only say yes and tell management what they want to hear while punishing those who don’t as not team players. Same thing has been going on for years on project cost estimates. Here is the answer for cost of... — read more

There is an entitlement problem

My Reasons to Quit – What are Yours?
For the ‘Best of the Best’ hired from top programs, this is no longer a company to plan a career with. If you are stuck with 20/30+ years under your belt, then maybe I can see why to try your luck to survive a few more years. But, for the top talent... — read more
Next: permanently lower pay and benefits?
After a large number of eliminated jobs, it would come as no surprise to me that their plan to make more savings means that survivors get permanently lower pay and benefits. Someone warned that this is very certain and I share their opinion. I hope... — read more
