Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Upstream President is a former banker who has worked in oil and gas for 2 years

Even HiPo’s are sc--wed. Check outlet our new Upstream President! Promote from within is dead. Probably a good idea considering we have quit investing in career growth of our employees. Engineering is no longer valued. Anyone know what his bachelors degree is in? He worked as an investment banker and then in auto industry. Clearly management sees us engineers as useless. Same for project managers. You can all be replaced with Indians.

EM should have scooped up Lee Tillman for Upstream President.

I heard Tillman became available last week.

EM stock might become laughing stock.

How can any investor have confidence in our management with such a display of stupidity?

Choosing management with zero understanding of our business is setting us up perfectly to star in a Chemical Safety Board CSB video!

Management team asked their lawyer if there were any legal issues with this decision. Lawyer responded by saying, “Stupidity isn’t a crime, so you’re free to go.”

EM has individuals in leadership that thought this was a good idea.

And also has leadership that approved of this id--t to be Upstream President that has no qualifications to hold any position at EM.

Dan would score 2 or less in all categories for his ASM.

Upstream and Exploration have been in decline for years, with only that accidental discovery in Guyana covering up how bad it is.

Now Upstream will have a specific individual to blame for the downturn.
