Let’s see the list. Good track record so far
Stop ENABLING Executive Bonuses
Stop. Just stop. Stop working overtime. Stop sacrificing your well being. Stop giving a damn. Stop doing the impossible. Stop doing whatever it takes to hit unrealistic targets. It isn’t worth it. The company won’t care or remember. They won’t start... — read more
Another Exxon Valdez Required?
What will it take to wake up management? I see so many people working crazy hours and sacrificing their health and family relationships for what? Time for us all to quiet quit or just outright quit before more people get hurt or ki---d.
We aren’t even trying anymore
I never thought I’d see such an obvious admission of surrender as I saw today with the change to vacation policy. Has management completely given up and isn’t even trying anymore? Basically admitting there are hordes of people waiting to quit in... — read more
Robust Raises 2.0 + Transitory Inflation
Remember last year when we were told raises would be robust? Remember earlier this year when we were told inflation wasn’t going to happen during an Uncon forum? Remember when in the recent Uncon forum they admitted our compensation isn’t... — read more
Layoffs please
I would welcome layoffs if it would return us to a normal company. The current “strategy” makes zero sense. We are losing all the talent and our best people. This is awful to watch.
Nothing makes sense anymore
We at making record profits and record cuts to employee compensation and benefits. Psychopaths are running this place. What is wrong with our “leadership”? Have they all caught mad cow disease from undercooked steak served in Dallas?
So much talent leaving in US & India
I continue to see our best people resign in both the USA and India and who can blame them! Surely the data Dallas is looking at shows this. Did our CEO and board short our stock? What is going on?
Layoffs incoming
I know it's been a while, but an acquisition is a perfect way to get rid of supposedly "redundant" employees in both companies. The only problem is, usually those who are cut are not redundant but have been on the list to get rid of for a while. Be... — read more
Do people actually still believe attrition is not wanted?
I can’t believe people still believe that EM care and they will put plans in place to stop attrition. HR want people to leave and they continue the NSI / NI at the high teens % and they will give below inflation increases; only O / OPD will get... — read more
National Salary Programs
Expect we are going into a recession so same program as the last few years and claims of EM competitiveness. No data but just claims.
Is EM a multinational company or a US company?
Does EM identifies itself as a US company with global operations or a multinational company ? It does affects the company's strategy towards other countries.
The Denbury “Deal”
Really going to buy a company for a mere 1,300 miles of C02 pipeline? What is the permitting like for “green” carbon capture pipeline construction? Time will tell, but unless the 5B people across the oceans start caring about reduction, reliance or... — read more
Prorating Vacation 2023
Yeah, that going to stop attrition. At this point, it has to be part of an overall plan to reduced US headcount and reduce the cost associated with that attrition.
Spam test email. Salary
Did any else get the spam “test” email regarding HR salary survey? I guess that’s one way to have a 100% pass rate as no one in Xom would believe HR would ever send out that survey. Haha
XOM Execs on LinkedIn
The XOM PR machine is rolling strong. Almost every exec is either posting or liking posts about supporting inclusion or mental health. Let's remember that this is the crew pushing mandatory return to office and erosion of benefits. Newsflash Execs:... — read more
All Permian move to Midland
If company really wants to improve COLLABORATION and reduce headcount they should have all Uncon employees supporting Permian move to Midland or Carlsbad. This would separate the true believers from the masses and improve business results and... — read more
$$$ Denbury Acquisition
Exxon Mobil considers buying energy company Denbury @OP+1imMs72q Oct 10 (Reuters) - Oil major Exxon Mobil Corp is considering acquiring Denbury Inc, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. Shares of Plano... — read more
EM expects to post strong results
I looked at the preliminary third-quarter results and I'm wondering what will we get from strong quarterly results? If we are treated this badly now, when the company expects strong results, I can only imagine how we will be treated when a... — read more
Industry Salary Study (Employee vs Contract Hat)
There is talk about a salary survey that will be concluded Nov or Dec. The salaries of major oil company long term employees seems a good comparison for EM employees with Sponsors because they have long term job security. For the rest of us, more... — read more
Merger Feed
Went back to look at the feed on the rumored CVX/XOM merger and it’s been deleted. Were a few insightful comments but it’s been removed. Why? Still posted on the CVX site. Maybe a hostile takeover.
Change is inevitable
Exxon is not interested in real change or improvement, only its bottom line. I know many of you support this one hundred percent but you need to realize that renewable energy is the future. If we keep mostly ignoring it, none of us will have our jobs... — read more
Attrition in Baytown Chem plant
Thought attrition is slowing down in Baytown Chem plant but heard couple of resignations for the past 2 weeks from different depts. not sure what will happen next! Probably the vacancies will be filled up by EMTEC folks
Expectations?
Q3 expected near $18B? Is this real? Price pressure is pushing commodities higher and higher and inflation is evident, but this just seems crazy. Certainly unsustainable. The higher the peak the greater the crash.
Headcount in LCS
I don't understand why there such overstaffing of supposed "business" people in LCS. Most are not competent in the areas they are responsible for nor it seemed necessary. It seems like it's a hiding place for deadweights. It is more important... — read more
I simply cannot believe…
…An Exxonmobil manager would pressure a subordinate to falsify data and then blame (and attempt to fire them) for it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/10/06/exxonmobil-whistleblowers-wrongful-termination/
What is ExxonMobil Lifestyle?
I am fairly new employees in US and have frequently heard colleagues in and out of my team referring to the ExxonMobil Lifestyle, especially those that are looking to leave. Though they don't want to leave and continue on the misery because according... — read more
One thing for sure, they hate us worker bees in HC10
Fvcking corporate greed
A slow moral decline
When I hired onto ExxonMobil, an O&G company, I was confident in the decision based on the culture of the company. ‘Do the right thing’ was a regular Marta. I was told by supervisors and upper managers that their #1 expectation of every employee... — read more
When is it too late?
At what point do you think one passes the turning point to stay or to go? Base on low ranking and minimal raises or no promotion? Is there any hope or just walk out after a decade? I feel like I’ve weather the COVID and post COVID storms but here I... — read more
Administration and Media
So tired of this Administration and Media blaming “us”, those who work in O&G for pricing increases. OPEC cuts production and Joe Public thinks I’m greedy because I’m an accountant at a company that keeps the lights on, air con and heat, as well as... — read more
My career's most expensive mistake
Change can be scary, but it's definitely more scary when one day you realize that by staying here too long and not switching sooner, you wasted your career. People make this mistake over and over, and I guess one of the big reasons for that is that... — read more
Question about PIPs
Is there a specific time of the year when PIPs are handed out or is it a year-round process?
Vacation
Any truth the the rumor that vacation packages are being frozen for current and cut for future employees? YoS will not matter and all will max out at 20 days?
ExxonMobil ordered to reinstate fired whistleblowers who alleged fraud

Uplift Percentages
All, If you are receiving uplift, please post the percentage, where you moved to, and what year you started receiving that percentage.
Surrounded by mediocrity
At one time I felt inferior because I was surrounded by very talented and accomplished people. However, this has long since become a company of mediocrity, that is nothing new. There are still talented and capable people, but there are fewer and... — read more
Employment at will
Does ExxonMobil have at will employment? I have an offer and I am hesitant to go due to job security vs ExxonMobil who atleast has a PIP,PIL or discipline process in place before letting people go.
