When so many people hate the company they work for, can anything better be expected? This is the best proof that there is a major difference in productivity between happy and unhappy employees. When XOM had great pay, benefits, and actually cared about us, we were number one. Now when all of that is gone, we keep slipping lower and lower. It doesn't take a Mensa member to put two and two together.

Sycophant management. They are not going anywhere any time soon. Integrity is for losers
Well, just leave already
Happy?
Geniuses who are asking how many managers will stand up and do what is needed,
Have you forgotten that, the only reason we have worst scums as supervisors and managers is because they are good at shaking their stupid heads in yes in front of their superiors!

Indeed, very few managers have the courage of conviction to voice their disagreement with their superiors on the HR or any other BS that over time is promoted, although they often disagree.
For the management stooge below on the salary, let’s remind everyone that our salary depression started when EM expanded their “peers” to include Walmart and other non O&G and of course they found that we were overpaid. So the lower (relative) salaries were a result of a deliberate EM management decision, not just different times.
I wonder how many managers don’t agree with mgmt above them on Pipping, ranking etc and are willing to take a stand and say enough is enough. My guess Zero. Which means they are just puppets. Where is the courage of conviction? We are ExxonMobil? Leadership skills. Hard to trust Mgmt when you know they just say the “HR” response instead of truth.
Favoritism and relative ranking exist at every company, just others aren’t as open in acknowledging it. I would question whether we were on top because, at the moment, we were paid well when oil and gas was on top. It’s not as if in 2014 XOM decided to pay us poorly and only XOM got bad. It’s just the market. Everyone stopped doing well then and it had nothing to do with being well paid or who was a manager.
We absolutely do have management problems and favoritism, but it’s not stopping Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Alphabet, etc. And they all have the exact same issues.
Difficult to operate a company on just nepotism, cronyism, and favoritism. Rot will continue to rise to the top and destroy from within
That what happened when performance is measured as "relative" - how do you measure that your outcome really reflect the performance of your workforces and not as result of "favoritism" by certain managers....just the statement of people mentioning about sponsors already say something about it...of course, we have to admit in real world people get jobs via connection as well, but at least provide the opportunity by announcing internal job posting, so that people who don't have sponsors also have the chance to apply for it if they want it....
Everyone is to be blamed at what XOM has become. When things are good, people did not fight and speak out against nepotism and the brain ded message management was spewing. They just let it fester and when sh*t hit the fan. The company consumed in at itself.
Yes, we have young people leaving for better jobs. There is one young lady who left because another person was given a promotion that she wanted and asked for. The promoted person had only been here three years instead of ten years that the other one had. The unfairness and favoritism is what is unbearable. So good people will continue to leave. We will be left with useless a$$ kissers and yes men and women. My manager knows what is going on but cannot or will not fight it. He wants to do his time and move on. He piped and very good worker he knew for ten years like it was nothing. Exxon is doomed.
Bunch of whiner’s
XOM is a classic new-school case of the importance of promoting the right people into management. Succession planning started going off the track in the late 90s and after the merger. That is why we have the mess.
Let’s go Brandon, umm I mean XOM
