Wondering if you receive your vacation days if you quit or are PIP’ed in Texas, USA. Trying to figure out if you should spend your days before quitting.

(No names please) I certainly know corp's upstream campaigns there have been nothing but a disaster, though a straight executive termination/separation is something unheard (to me) while working for XOM.

I am surprised by the number of geoscientists being pulled into LCS. Are we giving up on Exploration?

After many years working here, things just aren’t exciting like they used to be. I dread work even day. Awful leadership tanked morale and ruined trust.
