Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

HILARIOUS. THIS IS ALSO POSTED ON CHEVRON SITE AS A CHEVRON EMPLOYEE: people bored or fishing for EM INFO🤣😂

OP here - No it’s not a fake post, stop being tin foil skeptics. Someone either copied and pasted my story or people are leaving with similar backgrounds. Not everything is fake news.

@2mbr+1coZKtWK - Not sure what you’re getting at. PM is a popular path in tech.

Fake post for the ads my guess?

Chevron here.... same issue recently posted on Chevron Layoffs.... OP are you really real?? No....

Project Mgr is the goal, eh?
Coordination and communication.
Watching time and the budget.
Tech.
Could I suggest maybe Poetry is where you should be at?

Depends on what you want out of a job. For me, I’m trading time for money … simple equation, if the overall compensation is SIGNIFICANTLY better and the penalties for leaving (pension, etc.) aren’t a prohibitive drag, I jump.

You sound like money is less important than job satisfaction or long term upward mobility in your equation. Still seems like this offer is right for you: you’re going to the field you want to be in, and you can always make a smaller and easier jump to FAANG in the not too distant future.

I’d leave this company, and this entire industry, for any offer.

"Hey guys, going to a clown college. Got accepted into Yale, but really wanted Harvard. What should I do?"

Suggest you evaluate the offer based on opportunities for growth rather than the money. Does the other company offer you opportunities to learn news skills and is it a growing industry that offers interesting career paths with possibilities for advancement? How is the culture at the other company? And how is it perceived in the community?

“I’m a mechanical engineer, got an offer that has a big pay bump, remote and is in a whole new industry….”

💩💩💩

Pay bump, work from home, you'll enjoy the new job slightly more than your current one. I'd go for it.

Take the new job and keep the old one until they “fix the glitch”

@1vsl+1coZKtWK: If you’re that worried about the company triangulating and punishing people for making posts like this then maybe you should also be trying to leave. You’re clearly terrified of your toxic employer.

@OP: I think you should leave. No question. Might be great to try something new while you keep fishing for an even better role. Invest the pay bump and send it straight to your personal bottom line.

You realize that company could easily identify you with this thread at this point. You millennials are naive. If you're d-mb enough to want a crowd of anonymous disgruntled people to help you with a life decision, then a pay raise is probably worth taking (because you don't deserve it).

I would take the new job offer. As the OP has mentioned, he can work there a few years and if she wants to, they can decide to move on at some point in the future.

Don’t take that other job.

Umm can you let me know what it is, I want to go there……….

OP here - the newer offer I’d enjoy slightly more than what I do here (emphasis on slightly). The role wouldn’t help me with what I want to do, but it won’t hurt to have it, if that makes sense. And the company is in the industry I want (tech) just not a se-y company like Amazon, Google, etc. It’s a small company so I may get the chance to wear multiple hats at once.

I’m good with money but I never complain about more! Especially in these early stages of compounding.

Sounds like either are not ideal solution, if the newer company offers some opportunities to advance skill sets that can be applied to areas you are interested and given the higher pay best to take it. Otherwise if it's just purely financial and you'll be less happy don't do it, no financial incentive gets you up in the morning to start work once you get to a certain salary amount, be happy not miserable.

Follow your instincts. If you are not excited about the work, don't take it.

Unless you are one of those people who want to try out new things and believe that it is better to do new things than later having regrets for not doing it at all.

If you are financially "okay" with where you are at, don't factor in the money in making your decision.

Run away from this place as fast as you can is my vote
