Is security still a SSHE function, or are they aiming for it to be outsourced which will eventually form part of alleged headcount reduction. Wouldn’t surprise me in the current climate, for support services be in the 100% contracted space. — read more 

Don't tell me it's not easy to find a new job. I started casually looking a month ago and I already managed to get two decent offers. One is from another O&G company and another is in another industry but it's still my field. There are many options... — read more 

Anyone else notice they are paying more than the max amount of social security at. For 2022? The max contribution for this year is $9,114.

My time with EM was an enjoyable one and at the time I was volunteered to leave I must admit that was a dark period due to poor actor actions / fabrications / trying to justify decisions. One year later and the darkness has lightened, life has... — read more

Anyone have insights on upcoming salary treatments? I suppose it will be a big sign whether the company wants to encourage attrition via low to moderate raises or be competitive via robust raises that are commensurate with our peer companies.

As a worker, I found it's especially motivating to see our senior advisors and execs post pictures of all the conferences and field trips they're attending on the company dime. Wouldn't you agree?

OK. I am telling you to not volunteer for anything extra. It won't help it can only hurt you. I was excited about the opportunity as I am good at the subject. The leader of the project is a real pain. they are impatient, rude and mean. I did not... — read more

Anyone else notice how doing less work, communicating with your boss and repeating what others say gets you ranked higher???? The competent people doing the actual work never get recognized and incompetent supervisors take all the credit

Management wants something: We are a family! We want something: No and don't get mad, it's just business.

EM employees keep applying for jobs there. It’s not because a merger is in the works. Friendly advice: if you dislike Coke, switching to Pepsi isn’t going to make much of a difference. They’re both bad for you and they taste about the same. — read more

Enough said. One of the worst places with terrible management and employees work force. Time to get rid of this cancer.

Venting is fine. However, staying here in the hope that EM will start recognizing employees for their hard work (at least as it used to be), I think is a waste of time. The golden times will not return. This is the bitter truth, and the sooner... — read more

Can I just be left alone to do my job? Is that too much to ask for and too much to expect?

Who’s ready for another lecture on why inflation isn’t real and neither are raises?

I’m sure there’s an upper cut-off for PIPs. is it at exec level or above? My sup is acting extremely weird and I have a feeling he is on a PIP but he’s an exec so I’m a not sure.
