As a young engineer I took a job at Exxon where they described their forced ranking system as vital to their success. I soon saw that it entrenched the most selfish political types while destroying job satisfaction & teamwork across the company. Much... — read more

How far is management going to let us drop before we do something to stop the bleeding?

What is all this Permian talk?

As a 20 year employee I have noticed over the years they rank and promote the new hires and then stop growth for most in their mid 40’s. 40 plus get ranked the lowest and it is very humiliating when you are mentoring and training coworkers that are... — read more 

How about a bit of healthy growth for a change - I do hear that we may have layoffs in Irving.

50% of site engineers to be replaced with offshore call center support in the next few years. So much for an american company hiring americans.

So, the profits go up majorly for Exxon's second quarter, and shares drop because it was still not enough????? Now I am thinking this will be compensated by cutting operating costs, which, as we all know, means layoffs. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt... — read more

Technology has changed the oil & gas energy business forever. Will Exxon make the necessary changes required to survive?

We need to dump some of our big capital long term projects soon because it is apparent they may never payout. If we don't make some big adjustments soon I am afraid it might be too late! We need to cut back capital spending more and reduce overhead... — read more 

Our management thinks we can just keep lumbering along until this change passes. They don't realize that technology has changed our business forever. Economics are different now. If we don't start reducing cost, reducing size of work force, sell... — read more 

To be phased in in 2018. Fun while it lasted.

Who would have thought the most progressive member of Trump's cabinet would be our CEO. Rec is THE only one who believes in man made climate change.

The new CEO will restructure and cut costs (sell off assets) to improve operating efficiency, cash flow and profitability. Remember cash has dried up with little return and the trend has to change to meet the long term investor needs. Its amazing the... — read more 

When will things improve, are they, I am still hearing about layoffs in Irving.

Well when do you think management is going to decide we held out as long as we could? Downstream, mid-stream, and chemicals are helping but unable to carry us much longer. I see we are starting to shut down some expensive long term projects that will... — read more 

Exxon is being very quiet about needed changes while our market cap is down $65 billion in value and cash reserves are depleting rapidly! Finally beginning to see some big expensive long-term projects shut down. They haven't announced a layoff but we... — read more 

Stock is still dropping and we are not doing anything to change! When will we hit bottom?

What has management done??? Maybe they are the silent majority! It doesn't require a degree in finance to see where this is headed and experts are saying there is no end in sight for the energy market reset. When will management act?

I do hope Exxon employees keep their jobs. However I was visiting friends in Houston last week and we were invited to a party where we met a few Exxon expatriates. Nice people but only bragging about their expat package, unlimited housing allowance ... — read more 

It seems to be mainly just contractors being let go which doesn't really count as company layoffs. As usual lower performing employees are at risk, like bottom 10 percent, but you have to be pretty bad to be in that category anyway. Also, some older... — read more

What is management going to do to satisfy stock holders? I am afraid they will be intimidated into doing what other energy companies have done. Wall Street is asking for heads to roll. What's next?

Exon is looking at purchasing Anadarko. Anadarko is down to just one third of it's value less than a year ago so appears to be a great bargain. Will Exon keep Anadarko employees on or lay them off?

How likely is this scenario?

The reported plans is Rex will retire in 2016, the company will likely be restructured when the new CEO comes in so may not happen until 2017. It will likely be significant. Good article published this week on Bloomberg on issues with the CEO switch... — read more
