New business ideas for the future
I got PIPed last year after 24 years at ExxonMobil. My wife started a beauty salon 6 years that unfortunately did not make it. I was running a software business on the side selling to universities and for training. Now I am out of ExxonMobil but... — read more
Tone-deaf psychopaths
There must be a higher percentage of tone-deaf psychopaths at XOM than elsewhere because only on the XOM layoff site are there people who brag about how they’re not laid off and continuing to rake it in or annuitants swanning around in their wealth... — read more
CL Salary Ranges
I’ve heard from several people who have left that the money is better elsewhere. I am an experienced hire in 2018. I’m a CL 28, with a salary of $202,500 and no bonus. What can expect upon promotion to CL 29 and 30? 10% salary bump with... — read more
Anything for Near Retirement Eligible (NRE)?
Will there be a voluntary package (like 2/2 or 3/3) in the U.S. for NRE considering the lame voluntary package for RE?
This place used to be good
I don't know if this is because my 20th anniversary is approaching and I'm being hit with nostalgia, but I miss the Exxon of old. I miss being proud of working here and having managers who knew what they were doing. Who were in this with us and acted... — read more
XOM vs GME
Today we witnessed high powered GME surge in stock price greater than our XOM. Not sure if this is the end of oil, but used game company that was allegedly on the ropes has XOM beat. Can’t touch their solid dividend, motivated investors, casual... — read more
For those let go, when does the gas discount expire?
For those who were let go, when did your gas discount expire? Was it effective immediately upon your separation date? Also, did you have to do anything if your balance was previously paid out of your paycheck?
Any layoffs in places outside of America, Canada, and Europe?
I've only seen these locations announce layoff targets (not pip). Just curious what other countries (if they were) are impacted and what potential numbers.
Retirement eligible and NSI
So, what's the deal with retirement eligible people in the "Need significant improvement" bucket? Are they PIPd like anyone else, or is there some sort of protection? My gut is telling me I'll be affected next feedback cycle...
Should I leave to go to Amazon?
Amazon offers lower base salary (~ 15k lower) but sign on bonus makes total compensation higher (~15k higher). I’ll be able to stay in Houston and travel to different locations so no cost of living changes. Amazon doesn't have pensions and will... — read more
I'm much happier now
I stopped stressing and learned to enjoy my job when I realized that going above and beyond would bring me the exact same rewards as I would get for just doing what's required, no more no less. Same pay, same miserable bonuses, same chances at... — read more
Can we get an update?
How many of those laid off have found new jobs by now? I'm sure plenty of you still talk to your former coworkers, do you mind sharing what's going on with them? I'm hoping to hear some good news on this subject since there's plenty of us who'll be... — read more
Why does this company insist on deciding my career and next moves?
Was told last month I’m moving positions and the new role is literally nothing that I asked for. My boss said it’ll be a good stepping stone for me. b—s—, they are just trying to fill in roles of people that got put on leave. The whole life... — read more
EMIT Canada Specifically Doesn’t Get It
I have worked with many great colleagues in EMIT Canada over the years. From what I’ve seen, a bunch of them have been let go as part of their program, while several really terrible people in both management and non-management positions somehow... — read more
Has anyone had the experience where
as a new and young engineer you are taught to be nice to the operators. You see white collar people being overly nice to the point of kissing butt with then at times to keep peace. But the operators are never taught the same culture of being kind to... — read more
are there more layoffs coming?
or is it done?
They can log in and see what you are doing real time

Has this been posted before?
Employers like Exxon are ideally looking for an employee with the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and the pay scale of a 20 year old. Isn't it sad that this might have started like a joke but... — read more
Are you kidding me?
I was looking up some info on Glassdoor and I ran into this: "An ExxonMobil career is one designed to last. Our employees grow personally and professionally, with benefits built to support every stage of life." I still haven't stopped laughing... — read more
Is it matter or EM mentality of "Yes Sir" at XTO in Midland or company plans?
I have seen that Facilities group at Delaware was kind of dismantle on May, 2020. Some good employees were layoff or Piped. Did the company know its project to dismantle the group and fusion the two divisions (Permian and Delaware) as one like it... — read more
Release/waiver agreement review by attorney?
I am a part of the involuntary lay-off. Did any of you get the release/waiver agreement reviewed by a lawyer? I asked around and lawyers charge about $400 for the review. Not sure if it’s worth it.
New College Hires
I get the fact that you dont want an age gap in your talent, but you’d think that in a hundred year pandemic the company might say ‘hmmm, maybe we can hold off on hiring for A YEAR!’. Before anyone screams, I also get that college grads are... — read more
HR Problems
Well it looks like HR is not equipped to handle all of the questions from the people being separated. I have been on hold for over 2 hours now waiting for someone to answer a question.
This company lacks leadership at every single level
I've worked at three major oil and gas companies that have all been through layoffs countless re-orgs and each had a general sense of uncertainty towards the future as the markets fluctuated. XOM was by far the worst at managing those factors. I have... — read more
Management needs to be held accountable
It seems lately like Exxon is a blind company that has no direction. The management only cares about one thing: themselves. For as long as their wallets keep getting filled, who gives a damn about the rest. Even if the company keeps failing. Why is... — read more
How much is the pension after 20-25 years?
Can experienced ExxonMobil persons post here the approx value of pension say after 20-25 years? Trying to decide whether I ought to continue my suffering and anxiety for the pension or quit now. I do not like to work for ExxonMobil anymore. I know... — read more
Favoring the YOUNG and ill-treating the EXPERIENCED
I got PIPed after 24 years with ExxonMobil, used to have top 10%, always top 33% ratings during my 30s and 40s. Then after 50s, I began to give new ideas and disagree technically with my bosses, I was trying to be more innovative and more leading... — read more
Exxon is the modern day “office space” movie
LPS is the TPS reports 8 supervisors over a role sounds familiar. https://youtu.be/5rWP_PGfiow
Friendly warning
Before you decide to leave Exxon for supposedly greener pastures make sure to properly vet the company you're planning on joining. A friend left a few months ago just to find himself in an even worse situation because he was so eager to leave. Don't... — read more
Oil coming back
I suspect that when XOM posts some solid earnings for 2-4 quarters in 2021, they will bring the 7% match back. They won't bring it back before they're done laying off, for obvious reasons. It will come back as a morale boost to surviving employees... — read more
Exodus?
Starting to see an exodus from Clinton. Lots of people abandoning the sinking ship. Are other sites seeing this?

If you have a breakthrough idea of commercial value
and your idea does not involve use of any company resource. Would you rather quit XOM and start your own company with the idea, or would you commercialize the idea with XOM? Are people rewarded for commercialization within XOM?
Why all the negativity? - enjoy the retirement!
XOM was well paid for 35 years and now 30 years off to go on luxury holidays with a GREAT pension. Why all the negative comments?
XOM Involuntary Separation Benefits
When the XOM Houston layoffs were announced, a certain Upstream president boldly bragged about the benefits being better than those of the competitors. Is that true? Usually what comes out of their mouths is half truths at best.
I have to ask
How many people will Exxon have to hire to replace those who were let go once the time comes? Considering that so many of the best employees were laid off, it won't be that easy to find replacements on their level. My guess is they'll have to hire... — read more
Lab technician... chances of being able to transfer to another plant?
Lab technician... chances of being able to transfer to another XOM plant if I apply through the channels like the official website? If not then I will likely start applying for other lab tech positions. I understand the whole industry is hurting but... — read more
