Topics regarding layoffs at ExxonMobil Corp.

I no longer even try

I stick to just what’s expected at work now and save my energy for my own life. Giving more to a company that would PIP you for no reason in a second isn’t worth it. It’s easier to focus on what matters outside the office.

BTC Business Trips to US

Anyone noticing the large number of business trips to the us from the BTC? What happened to the cost discipline and travel lockdown? I guess it only applies to HC10 employees! Do people really need to take field trips for a day to the Permian from... — read more 

PIP and Divestment

Why doesn't the company just PIP all the people at sites they are going to divest or the ones that perform the worst and leave everyone else alone? They already know who they are going to keep and transfer them into safe positions before they... — read more 

Campus Blues

Anyone just hate coming to campus even more on a Friday? All these old f*rts still just aimlessly wandering around looking to give free 1990s advice, making a difference right until 5pm on a Friday. Just stay home or away from those of us trying to... — read more

Watch out- she’s back in a position of power. More jobs to be cut

Quit that damn job already

I stuck with that job way too damn long, lying to myself that it was fine. When I finally walked away from Exxon, it was like a weight lifted. The new one isn't perfect, but he-l, my whole life’s better. Makes me wonder why'd I waste all those years... — read more 

PiPed Twice in 8 years--WTF

I came into ExxonMobil as an experienced hire about 8 years ago, before accepting the job, the hiring manager stated that the company was in the process of changing its toxic culture. Covid hit and everything went to He-l. I was unfamiliar with the... — read more 

Why Kearl must be sold

Unlike EMHC and the Permian, the company has not figured out how to replace locals at Kearl with engineers from the BTC. This is why Kearl must be sold and also was a big reason to sell Australia. Countries with strong worker protection laws beware!... — read more 

I got piped but at least for once I deserved it.

Ok I got nsi ed this year. I am a 27 year veteran of this place. I came with the mobil merger and did not know what to expect. I started in Upstream which was slightly dysfunctional. My downfall came when I was moved to downstream. I had performed... — read more 

Upstream Exploration begins to awaken

When the 2020 layoffs occurred, and DW & co gleefully neutered Exploration, it was glaringly obvious to the average employee that this gutting would have long term negative consequences. He we are in 2025, and (oh my! Our volumes are going to tank in... — read more 

Expat Era is Dead

For those who haven’t gotten the message the golden era of expat assignments is dead. Several friends returning to join me at EMHC and I am shocked to hear how much the expat program has declined. There is little to no financial incentive anymore. In... — read more 

CL28 + Technical = NSI

Funny how there was a time when people looked forward to CL promotions. Now it just guarantees your ranking will drop. Especially if you moves into a new rank group.

Worried about GP lack of projects

Several big projects coming online with GP staff demobilizing and nothing for them to do. Next year’s assessment is going to be a bloodbath for these GP people who have nothing to work on.

So many resognations

LinkedIn is full of resignations and I’ve seen people this week immediately pack up and walk out when told they were NSI. Is the #EXXODUS about to pick up again?

For Youngsters

Over my 42-year career in the oil and gas industry, I have been laid off 8 times... My advice to young graduates is to avoid this field and this company if you are looking for stability for yourself and your family. If you can deal with... — read more 

Pension

Pension is being assessed for elimination soon. Who has details?

How true is the rumor about the package for NREs?

I have been hearing a lot about a possible early retirement for nres. This is along with reductions in the workforce at the end of the year. I was ranked nsi this year and have not been given any dpc plan yet. I believe they are going to offer me... — read more 

PIP questions

1) Can the PIP be cut short (i.e 3 months to 1.5 months) and the employee terminated immediately if the manager feels that he/she isnt improving? 2) Can the PIP be extended? (i.e 3 months to 4 months) 3) Is the fixed year end bonus pro rated and... — read more 

EM/Overtime

A quesion for hourly people on this web site. Are you getting any overtime nowadays?

Exxon jobs

What is it like to work at Exxon? I often read discussions mentioning PIP, NILs, and similar topics. While I’m interested in pursuing a career with Exxon, I’m concerned about the possibility of a toxic work culture. Feedback seems to be very... — read more
