25% Data and Optimization scientists have resigned over last couple of months. Many more will follow. Let's hope this is a wake up call for the management to put things in place. Now they can't hide behind "we are ExxonMobil" and there is nothing good outside EM.

It isn’t just the BTC. Many young people are leaving the company in the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe as well.
This has been going on for a long time. Plan is based on low pay for BTC. Problem is once you invest in training them and they become marketable to outside companies they leave.
25% resignation is indeed true for BTC DSO group. Whoever thinks that's a lie clearly has no idea 🤣 or is in denial ,full of the very arrogance that's being talked about in this thread
It is pretty clear to employees at BTC that there is no future at this company and all promises were false and misleading, and thanks to this discussion board, it is clear that ExxonMobil is consistent in lying across the world. The only thing that bothers us is the lack of respect, empathy shown by the EXPATS. They have zero personality or skills and govern BTC through fear and intimidation. When they talk to folks from Houston their tone changes.
These same people every month host a townhall and talk about leadership behaviors and most recent trend is inserting ‘we are Exxonmobil’ everywhere.Have some common sense and stop converting BTC to another Houston. Each country has their own culture and with normal behavior people can thrive and do good for the company. But here the prerogative is to convert our office to another Houston, which is failing miserably.
Even if the quality of work is low, the pay is low, the future opportunities are clearly very limited for BTC employees, at least have the guts and character to tell is the truth instead of lying everyday. Houston folks are scared of losing their work to us, that cannot be our problem. It is sad because it can’t be their problem either. It is the leadership, board members who don’t take pay cuts but lay off employees. The leadership and the organisation needs to provide that support to us. Everything can’t be dumped on us when the culture of the company is clearly not ethical, sometimes racial and biased, and almost always politically motivated.
Can’t you all see these actions are what has brought the company to its knees? Admitting mistakes and faults is the first step to bringing a change. But the ‘leadership’ is soaked in arrogance from a bygone era of high oil prices. None of them exhibit behaviors they ask us to do. Do you have the courage of conviction to question the poor quality of work and unfair treatment of BTC employees regularly through asset interactions? Why do you project BTC as a huge success when every employee is miserable? Do you have the empathy and care to inderstand what new hires go through without any training and when their hopes and dreams are crushed by the pathetic work culture you all have created? Do you all have the Business acumen to understand that poor culture affects business results and that an employee is just not a number? Have you ever bothered to learn whats the ground reality from people who are not sychophants? What did you do last to do to motivate employees?
You will still get your fat paycheck and luxurious expat benefits, but its the employees who have been set up to suffer at BTC. A lost opportunity to set up a new office the right way. As an experienced hire, I regret my decision to join everyday and just like everyone else, we’ll leave at the first chance we get.
I've got a call directly from Amazon today, they want to hire me. Off of LinkedIn apparently.
Isn't that what EM wants, exodus to reduce costs and overhead. Forget about 25, they want 50% of the workforce gone probably so they can offshore the work and replace them with people who make 25% of their pay.
"Look at me, I can throw around statistics to make you think I know what I'm talking about." 25% resignation my a–, complete lie.
Isn't this the plan all along?
See below thread.. Rightly said about the young professional in the EM culture..
