Market has already priced it in.
Sickness or anxiety working at Exxon
Hello! I have seen a few times on this board people have mentioned that after quitting ExxonMobil their digestive/stomach issues or anxiety went away presumably due to less stress? May all be the same anonymous poster.. would anyone care to confirm... — read more
Consolidation of BU’s in US
With the “work studies” going on. Do you think there will be closings of BU district offices in the US and have things run out of EMHC?
Why not come together?
I am surprised that no one here has yet proposed an idea to help our company? We are big company why don’t we all chip in $10, $100 or whatever to fund the company in these tough times ? I mean call me crazy but boy is all in. Show em how we do... — read more
Friendly Reminder: Submit your Retire papers by 9/30 if you PiL'd
Momento Mori. For November delivery of Lump Sum or possibly first pension - lag is a month. Many banks provide notary service. Bring a spouse if you have to. Keep in mind. We are the lucky - out with some cushion. And our best to the ones... — read more
What do you or would you miss about ExxonMobil?
As I’m starting interviewing with other companies and also most likely leaving o&g, and soon enough I’ll be putting Exxon in the rear view mirror it phased me - will I miss anything here? What is it that you think you would miss or that you already... — read more
So what are the 5 buckets in the new ranking process?
And what % target in each bucket? And is it true that ranking is now country specific rather than work group specific?
What Is ExxonMobil's Long Term Vision?
Are we still going to be doubling down on the growth of O&G when all our peers (BP, OPEC, etc) are all predicting peak oil demand in this decade? Based on our Solomon data, how are we going to meet the vision of most profitable operator when we... — read more
Genius on Goon..
Reflecting on the actions adopted by Darren Woods, he has taken the route less travelled. Doubling down on crude oil when competitors are cutting back, not cutting management pay and instead cutting employees, wilfully continue paying dividends... — read more
There 160 Job Openings on Exxon's Linkedin Profile

I’m going to throw up if my Manager / Supervisor says this one more time
Are you tired of managers and supervisors parroting XOM buzz words without understanding what it means? Here are some - winning behavior, commercial intensity, actively caring, integrity, empower, innovate.... the list goes on.
look at Yammer and fire anyone who has had time to post anything on that site!
Few hundred ppl who do nothing but sit and post useless c-ap on Yammer all day. Good start for D woods. I have a few more places to look. The wellness center at 9:30 AM and 2 PM
There have been oil slumps before, but this one is different!
Oil fuelled the 20th century—its cars, its wars, its economy and its geopolitics. Now the world is in the midst of an energy shock that is speeding up the shift to a new order. As covid-19 struck the global economy earlier this year, demand for oil... — read more
This makes me mad
You know what pisses me off? Other companies appreciate employees who bring experience and with that relevant knowledge to the table, but not Exxon. The longer you've been here, the chances are bigger that you'll be cut. It's all about the money... — read more
It’s doesn’t really matter in the scheme of things. I believed in a thing that didn’t exist.
I spent most of my 25 year career as a supervisor/manager cheerleading the merits of XOM as a company that cared for life long employees. You do your part and they will do their part. Then I found myself under the management of someone outside of... — read more
Hopeful.....................
What are the odds EM offers us old farts within 2-3 years of retirement a financial "nudge" to hit the road ? If you're only needing a year or 2 (or3) and over 55 already, what does the group think the odds are of EM giving you the years needed to... — read more
Lay-off EMRE and sell campus.
Research and engineering isn’t needed. Sharp on site personal who know how to run the business. Divest everything else and only keep the manufacturing sites.
What US jobs/functions/company will be hit hardest by the layoffs?
My guess is XOM research and engineering (EMRE) as research and engineering isn’t needed to run the manufacturing sites. Haven’t seen anything come out of EMRE.
Will the pension stick around?
Is the pension worth sticking around for or is it going to be gone/frozen in a few years? As an early career employee, it really is a fantastic benefit but I don't think sticking around is worth it if the pension will get frozen.
What is TMTS?
I know what HW3 is. But what does TMTS stand for and what is it about? Assume it has to do with moving jobs to low cost locations.
“Energy” lives here
Have you noticed that most of the world still has power and industries keep producing with someone’s energy? The only thing that’s really down is jet fuel consumption. And that’s enough to bring Exxon to it’s knees. So we aren’t in the business... — read more
Need advice - Going back to engineering at another employer
Looking for some advice - I’m early in my engineering career ( 4 years) but made the mistake of trusting that I’m high flyer and took a non-technical assignment because I was told it would help me be fast tracked. Well I ended up dropping... — read more
Can someone clarify on what HW3 is?
Thank you!
Is bankruptcy the goal?
Seriously, our current strategy seem designed to make us go ot of business. What is the leadership thinking? I feel like a passenger who is watching a slow motion of an impending crash and there's nothing I can do because the driver refuses to change... — read more
Hope for Change
Here is the bottom line. We all hope for change. I personally have been hoping for change for 20 years. It has not come. It has gotten worse. I know me hoping for change and it not coming and still working here is sad. I decided to post this for... — read more
Is it only EXXONMOBIL employees in here? Let’s be honest- who else reads these boards?
I’m super curious about who trolls these boards? Are there folks from other companies reading these? I certainly wouldn’t bother to read other company sites... maybe we should as a perspective check. Things are not “sunshine and roses” at our... — read more
Why is the dividend more important than the employees?
What would be the negative effect to XOM to reduce or eliminate the dividend? Seems crazy to have to borrow to pay it. And a lot of jobs could be saved if it were eliminated.
Exxon HR is not on your side
Just a friendly warning.
For those on the PIP we are at the midpoint, what are you thinking?
Please only reply if you are on a PIP. There are plenty of other topics to comment on if you aren’t. Its the midway point today. Anyone change their mind? What signals are you getting from your supervisor? I’ve been getting positive... — read more
GRS1 worth the extra headcount?
Sites with GRS1 implemented see any major benefit offsetting the 40% increase in headcount? Business Teams that used to operate lean and mean with one SLS now have 2 or more SLS, R/M/T leads Seems like the org is top heavy
VPs that were so terrible the company ACTUALLY demoted them are still here.
You know the folks that were in the upper 1/3 last year that were either punted out or put on a PIP. Exxonmobil has been floating VPs at VP salaries for years after they demoted them to managers because of incompetence. Just do a career... — read more
WSJ Article and Layoff Cries - What is the Big Picture?
Reading people's reviews on a recent WSJ article, it seems that they expected a lot more scathing and deeper analysis of EM and wanted to hear more gibberish about PIP and Layoff. Get over yourself folks as before being PIPed, everyone tolerated the... — read more
“Lean into the staffing evolution”
Kudos to EMIT for the spin.

Over the many years here at XOM I've learned 3 things about this company...
XOM claims to have an open door policy and values our input. All lies. They only want to hear, what they want to hear. If you go against or question what is being done/said you will suffer the consequences. Radio talk shows, Ask Me Anything, and... — read more
