I saw a job posting at Exxon for a geoscientist. I'd really like to apply, I'm an exact match for the candidate description and probably over qualified (requires 5 years experience and I have 8), but I need to work remotely. Does Exxon let any staff... — read more 

Has anyone successfully switched their PIP to a PIL once 30 days of their PIP has passed? How long did it take? Any advice? Technically, it is up to the "discretion of the company" to approve the switch which is slightly worrying..

Has anybody gotten any value from the S&D Advisors or Managers? Seems like the most incompetent folks in the role screwing up assignments. What a waste.

I can only guess who is next to leave from my team but I hope it will be me. Have you too noticed that Exxon is no longer even trying to slow down or stop attrition?

Are there may CL30+ who read this board? What’s your thoughts on the company direction and desire to stop attrition?

Even if they did something to address attrition at this point I have lost all love I once had for the company. Actively looking for a new job.

Anyone else notice the post discussing the company’s plan to continue to keep attrition high and force out High-Cost center employees was pulled down….?

Remember when we were the company that pushed forward and tried to improve? Now we're all about preserving the status quo. No wonder we have to resort to reducing the workforce one way or another. The stagnation is ki----g us and that's the only way... — read more

Serious question. Do you know anyone who is late career and is happy? Is that really where you want to end up? Leave before you become that guy.

I’m tired of working 12-14 hour days. How do I get a rotational assignment that has weeks off. I’m working the hours but don’t get the days off. I am in Uncon engineering.

I've heard a lot about the importance of sponsorship. Some colleagues advised me to play the game well or get sponsored. The question to which I do not have a clear answer is how to get sponsored. What's the right way to go about it?
