For my AU counterparts, when does the voluntary separation offer end? Thanks in advance.

For those looking for other opportunities, what are the most attractive options? Other O&G companies? Renewable energy companies? Pharma? From what I’ve seen, O&G provides the best compensation unless you’re willing to go back to school, which has a... — read more 

I see posts from people with 30+ years of service who say they aren’t financially ready to retire. Anyone care to share how some of the highest paid people in the world don’t have enough to retire yet? Even with the rumoured layoff packages of 2-2-1... — read more 

Some of colleagues have been given a heads up by their manager that a package is coming and they should start looking for a new job before they officially get let go. However, some of my other colleagues (in the exact same jobs) are being told "there... — read more 

Hear a lot of young people say they’re leaving O&G. Understandable, but if you can hold on til mid-‘21 I think you’ll be surprised at rebound. It’s cold comfort now, but a vaccine will happen, Demand will surge, & industry will recover. Hang in... — read more 

We have seen talented, hard working employees being PIPed for asking questions, reporting harassment to HR, being older or female, or just because a manager with a fragile ego doesn’t like them. More will be fired or Will find better jobs and leave... — read more

If I never see another PowerPoint presentation, it will be too soon.

Does anyone here know, at what level of hierarchy do they make the decision to lay-off more or less people? Do they consult their subordinates, and if they do, how far down do they come?

Anyone want to meet up for a game at the bocce ball court?

How much do you believe ranking outcome is based on role? What about if your project is cancelled due to no fault of your own? Seems projects that go are rewarded even if reason a project stops is host government, bad rocks, etc.

Are there any other sites like this you visit for info?

Every benefit program continues to be devalued. Name your favorite benefit back in the day.

Remember when the reusable coffee cups kept disappearing? Seems someone must have had an eBay sale! I recall an email saying thousands had gone missing.

ExxonMobil, it's arrogant culture, it's horrendous management, and it's pathetic employees — all need to be PIPed by the hard working and climate caring society. Low lives from top to bottom. Boycott anything coming out off this organization. — read more 

Is the tree in the quad still alive? Last time I saw it big chunks of bark were falling off. Anyone know how much was spent on that tree?

Has anyone heard of the the documentary interviewing numerous former employees that tell story after story of how the Exxon machine works from the top down and the bottom up. Now, former insiders are telling all from fragrant travels to cult like... — read more 

I will start with the good. An experience worker with many years of experience. Who was always trying to stay busy maintaining equipment. A worker who did many things them self and who was ranked in the middle. This worker was older, high paid and... — read more

Has anyone else noticed that open enrollment hasn’t been mentioned yet this year? Makes me suspicious of big changes to the benefits package...

Comment about the real work horses that are sharp but also seem to care about people, not rank.

I wonder how many admins they will go down. Some admins only have 1 VP which not all vp’s have the same work load. These admins have enough time to bully the other admins around them that actually have team of people to support. I hope they revisit... — read more 

For those who still think we are winning or have any delusions left about XOM superiority, here is the brutal truth. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2020/10/10/exxonmobil-loses-225-billion-in-market-cap-against-chevron/#7dd10b983cb1

Tl,dr: Comment which organization treats its employees the worst. I’ve been on this forum for a couple months now hearing about the terrible treatment of my fellow employees and the incompetency of many of their superiors. I’m curious if there are... — read more 

Exxon and Mobil merged when crude oil dropped to I think $10 per barrel in 1999. I heard people on TV talking of a possible merger of ExxonMobil with Chevron.

Like many of you I was NSI'd. I had no prior warnings, everything was swell until that meeting. Many of you can attest to this, but I jumped through a lot of hoops to even work for XOM. After all, this is a position/status of a lifetime right? My... — read more 

My supervisor keeps telling me that he will be the one making decision on my PIP outcome. On the other hand I heard rumors that to pass PIP a case has to go all the way up to Dallas. Has anyone who is on PIP asked her supervisor about who makes... — read more 

Not normally an anxious person but this waiting game is the worst. Total productivity k–ler. Can’t understand how it can possibly take this long to make an announcement in US where labor laws don’t exist. Can anyone think of other good examples of... — read more 

I see it all the time. The wife or husband is seen as HiPo so their inept spouse is given a pass. I’ve seen them put on teams where the team then has to pick up the slack for their inability. I’ve also seen them placed in made up roles and get paid... — read more 

Only founding CEOs and CEOs who turn the tide are worth million dollar pay. CEOs who follow the trend should get much less pay. CEOs who made significant mistakes should just take home $400K.

Does anyone know what is going on in EMDC or EMPC side? With so few project beyond Gate 2!and 3, EMDC is technically dead.

I work in the lab area and we still have several contractors. Exxon has PIP ed two of my co workers who did not deserve it but kept the contractors. This does not seem fair at all. Exxon saved a lot of money due to the fact that the contractors make... — read more 

There are 3 weeks left in the PIP. I have not gotten a firm indication from my supervisor on my PIP.....whether I will pass or not. Interested to know what others on PIP have heard from their supervisors.
