They exist. Usually, those are the lucky ones who have great managers who are there for their employees, unlike the majority who can't wait to yell at us or throw us under the bus. I envy them. I'd love to be able to enjoy my job and find it... — read more 

Anyone have any legit rumors on the number of RSUs CL 25 O will get? This is a real question, but I expect this will trigger a fair amount of vitriolic tomato throwing in the comments.

I can’t understand all the negativity against EM that I found in these posts. Yes I know nepotism, brown-nosing, managerial incompetence, etc. are a problem, but it’s not an unique problem with EM. It’s all fckn corporate really. Instead of... — read more

I cannot stand the people I work with. They are always top everyone else or ki----s in the meetings. I hate the meetings because you will always have a person who wants to impress the bosses. I like to work on my own because of these a ho-e... — read more

The company isn’t transparent with us, but doesn’t mean we can’t be. Post your years of experience, CL, and salary. Bonus points for ranking history, gender, and ethnicity. I’ll start: 8 years, CL 25, 160k. Historically ranked in top two groups... — read more 

In my case, I think that I was put on PIP only because of the manager's animosity towards me. It is very clear to everyone that PIP is not primarily intended for an employee to improve, as well as why the company decides to put an employee on PIP... — read more 

Company will squeeze everything out of the talented one with no reward unless you know how to play the game or is sponsored. In one of my previous role, I did both my job plus my bosses’ job plus some more. Worked 10 to 12 hours per day for 2... — read more 

I was wondering who sets the potential? Is it your supervisor or their boss or higher? If they haven't talked to you before, then it seems you are at a disadvantage?

Does anybody have any hard evidence on how often the ambulance shows up at the wellness center during ranking sessions? I hear it’s extremely higher during PiP season. Just curious.

There was a previous post concerning the way technical experts and experienced hires are disrespected. I agree, but I think there is a general disrespect for all employees. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be lied to about layoffs disguised as PIPs. We’d... — read more 

What an absolute load of dog sh-t

I’ve been gone now for 2 years. In the chemical company back in 2019 “Growing With Purpose” was all the rage. Is that still a thing or did it fizzle out like most other empty feel-good excursions?

Along with closing the Nature and Science buildings it’s rumored they are going to start charging for parking on campus. Where’s there is smoke there is fire.

As a technical professional and experienced hire, I’m appalled at the lack of respect given to those who are truly at the top of their field. In my former companies, SMEs are never treated with such disrespect. SMEs are those who worked years... — read more 

Rising interest rates had a significant impact on actual versus calculated lump sum. Between 1 quarter, my lump sum dropped by 20%. Frankly, I don’t understand why those who are RE or near 65 would want to stick around.

The brain drain that I have witnessed in the last three years is inconceivable. It is hard to see the company surviving another decade with such loss of talent. If oil prices go back to the 40s and stay there for 3 years xom will be sold for a few... — read more
