Does anyone know about getting paid for carry over vacation when you quit? I understand you’ll get a check for whatever remaining vacation is left for the current year, but just wondering about carry over from the previous year. I’m trying to figure... — read more 

Why are people so stuck on thinking that if you work in this field you are stuck with it? There are plenty of other industries where your skills will be more than useful, you just have to think outside of box for once. Widen your search and you'll... — read more 

EM will need a massive change if there is real desire to survive. Massive changes typically happen as result of a revolution. A soft one of course. Vision of elements of such soft revolution in unsorted order: Everybody of us should... — read more

Weird how some people get their kicks by putting hashtag admin on all of the posts. It doesn’t accomplish anything other than causing extra work for the moderator. Get a life

The new improved intranet search is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with this company. Somehow they managed to replace a c-appy product with an even worse substitute, likely after spending piles of money to develop the new search. I've... — read more 

Anybody have the inside scoop of how much the layoffs are going to affect the wage workers (operations/field/refinery folks) or is the MPT employees mostly under fire?

If it is similar to Europe (15-20%) and most operational (factory/field) workers are spared then it seems could be 30-40% at the campus? Any idea on timing? Still nothing on WARN.

Let's face it, EMIT has too many highly-paid middle-management which is weighing XOM down: Advisors, architects (of all types in different capabilities), technical leads, domain experts, specialists, SMEs, managers, managers of managers, SDM's... — read more

Anyone else noticing a flurry of activity to get org charts updated and photos into CareerConnect? Not rocket science to figure out why...

I've been laughing everytime I see these pledge emails come out. EM is doing a fake, sham layoff by smearing employees but still has the balls to ask us for money. Now that's hilarious. I'll let Darren Woods donate my part.

The EM culture has an alarming number of features typical of cults. Take a look at the BITE model. Thoughts? https://freedomofmind.com/bite-model/

I think the title Evil Empire certainly fits XOM given all the stories I’ve seen on this site. May not be an empire any longer but certainly Evil!!

Any comments or knowledge from the Canadian forum this morning?

What are the options for medical and dental insurance for US employees who just got laid off?

Does it now make more sense to increase my retirement contributions and move them to and outside firm (i.e. Edward Jones, Meryll Lynch)?

I've heard that a bunch of my supervisors/managers are all in on XOM stock in their 401ks. Based on the current stock price, it looks like they lost half of their savings so I'm not inclined to follow their footsteps. However, it seems that there are... — read more

Someone just posted they declined a job offer as a graduate. Are we really still bringing in new hires?

After reading everything here and talking to an alumni who was honest I’ve decided to decline the job offer I was made. Makes no sense to move to Houston for a job in this culture only to be fired shortly after arriving.

I’m quitting so I can focus all my efforts on job search. If you are in Houston and want to stay get out now so you can beat the surge.
