what happens to the person who is put in PIP, can she be PIPed again the following year.

So many BTC expats in Newfoundland now. How about Calgary? Do you have them there as well? Why can’t we hire Canadians?

For those with direct knowledge how was this communicated? I expect the same thing is coming for USA, Canada, and Australia.

How long before South Hook is sold like Adriatic LNG? With Qatar no longer valuing ExxonMobil (at their own peril I would add) isn’t it sooner rather than later? Will be interesting to watch Qatar try to operate aging facilities with integrity issues... — read more 

How does an employee with five years company and 15 years total experience become an IT chief of site at the BTC? The technical ladder is dead. Being a chief is meaningless now

The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader. Regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime. ***It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion and start valuing... — read more 

Thanks to all those involved

The top layer continues to expand. Why do we have another SVP being named? What is he even over? How do we invent new SVP roles out of thin air? Crazy how these Australians have managed to get promoted so quickly.

I really believe DW and DA are trying to pump the stock before dumping it and exiting. Every choice they make destroys the future in favor of short lasted near term gains.

Who sold DW and DA on the lie that Permian recovery is going to be doubled? Do they really believe it or are they just trying to pump the stock before they dump it?

Both Guyana and Permian have increased GOR and WOR problems. Obviously we drilled the best wells first so the economics get worse not better over time. Sadly we have nothing else and DW and DA don’t understand the upstream well enough to do anything... — read more 

Why were some Malaysians protected from the sale by being out on the expat circuit? Shouldn’t they have been recalled back to Malaysia and sold with the asset? What connections do these people have? The most egregious cases are very junior engineers... — read more 

Dan A left GMC over a dispute with CEO Mary B over direction of GM Cruise ( aka Mr. Dan wanted to replace Mary Barra as new CEO of GMC). He hasnt joined Exxon so he can be the "President" or "SVP"... it is very very clear that hes gunning for the... — read more 

I’m curious how we are doing with gender equality considering we built the BTC from the ground up so didn’t have any historical imbalance to overcome.

Intellectual property rights continue to be a concern for U.S. companies operating in India, as the country has a poor record in protecting and enforcing patents, trademarks, and copyrights. In fact, the country has been placed on the Office of the... — read more 

Clearly there is no appreciation at the top for upstream employees or business. No plans beyond Guyana and Permian which won’t last forever. Technical ability has been gutted. It is shocking to see the industry experts we once employed PIPd late in... — read more 

CMV is a old idea but new to Exxon, LCS is probably very early stage with limits, Proxxima ?

What is the deal with the Brazil research center? 100% cost sink. Can anyone name a single thing of value coming out of that place? What are we getting for the money we are spending there?

Why are there so many Indian expats in Houston? I’ve seen the financials and they are just as expensive as Americans when you expat them to Houston. What is the strategy here?

How long before the lights are turned off in Australia? Decommissioning work won’t last forever. Nothing left for these Australians. How long before those on the expat circuit are called home and fired?

Well, here’s some good news: looks like the Houston campus isn’t a high-cost center anymore... we’ve officially become a 'lost cow' center! With cows now on the team, we no longer need outsourcing, we’ve got lots of Moo-tivation! — read more 

Exxon used to be a powerhouse—loud, political, and unapologetically Republican. Prior to 2016, they spammed us with emails daily, pushing us to vote red. Now? Crickets. No talk about Trump, no mention of Elon, just this weird retreat into things like... — read more 

It’s looking really dire. Support in the UK is being erased.

What happened to the text re: offshoring? Was it deleted because of a copyright issue since the whole article was posted? There’s no rhyme or reason I can see why somethings stay and others are pulled. Anyone understand it?

Dan continues to bring in his buddies from the auto industry. How can anyone say with a straight face that there is a meritocracy when such a clear good old boys network exists?

Our downstream-heavy senior leadership has no clue that the upstream is about to fall off a cliff within 5 years. The damage caused by offshoring won’t be fully felt for a few years yet, and by then it will be too late to recover.

I like how Exxon takes care of people. Best example is from European refineries, we have some really good people who spent their career helping Exxon succeed. Exxon is taking care of them by having them placed as Expats in other locations (across HR... — read more
