In your professional career at ExxonMobil, when have you been asked to sacrifice your personal integrity on behalf of management?

@ca Exactly. The useless nontechnical manager of our team does the same thing
@gk i remember that one. that case was so sh---y. the account manager (an indian dude, if that matters) su-ked the ACE project, and the CST program bone dried. that guy got promoted to their director, and bought a $11M mansion here. what's sh----r is exxon even paid for his kids tuition fees at John Cooper. let that sink in - did exxon even want to think about paying for your kids education, let alone John Cooper?
exxon got a barely held together customer service site, less capable than shopify. that is being replaced in polaris, but guess who is in that project?
integrity my a-s.
I know one guy in IT who used to fight with Deloitte furiously about their integrity issues and got threatened so severely that he had to quit.
No integrity or honor left at exxon. Only lying, sneaky backstabers who are out to do harm to others. The supervisors and managers have no conscience or goodness in them. They do the dirty work for the corporation.
@af lots of guys came back from Caracas or Curitiba or BA with a new wife. It's not just Sakhalin.
Nothing like “sharpening the pencil” to underreport environmental numbers so they don’t become recordable.
How about putting butterfly bandages when clearly the wound needed a bandaid. A shot for your pain….absolutely not.
Sir you are going to need to report back to work after being hit by a truck.
I see it all the time.
Yes. Similar to the recent labor statistics firing (except I wasn't fired, just fell in the rankings to the max). I reported on some unfavorable productivity numbers; the process for compiling the numbers were well-established a couple years prior by a team led by my boss' boss. He sat in my office and made phone calls to his fellow managers getting them to change parameters to manipulate the numbers to come out favorable, with a nudge and a wink.
Don’t need to have integrity or not. Others beat me to it. Also if your producing say 75% of the work for the group it doesn’t matter unless your the guy. If you’re not in the inner loop already and are stepping out you will be a threat.
I play the ranking game. Be popular. That's it. I feel dirty.
It is hard to explain it where more of 80% are snitchers or backstabbers.
Have the integrity and fortitude to know when it is time to move on, both for your own good and the good of the company.
I was asked by a supervisor to provide information about other employees. I was told it would help me because they needed to provide work for me. So to protect myself I needed to snitch on them. I did not comply with the request and the supervisor found another willing spy. I was dropped in ranking and the ally spy was promoted. It is sick place baytown.
@af you sound like a bundle of fun
Was told that I needed to do a voluntary company survey. I was also told that I needed to get others to do the same.
We all know that surveys are not anonymous and generally useless.
The worst cases I have seen have nothing to do with the company and everything to do with lack of morals
- Affairs between coworkers
- Divorces and marrying younger women happened a lot in Sakhalin
- Affairs and fornication while on business trips
If you can’t keep your marriage vows ypu have zero integrity.
Happened once but I kept pushing back and working the problem until I found a solution. Was willing to quit or be fired if needed
Not a fan of the current mgmt team or the direction of the company anymore, but I can honestly say I have never been asked or felt I needed to sacrifice my personal integrity for EM, nor have I acted without integrity while performing my job.
