Oil relief program. Thhank you.

Signs are showing that EM wants to distance itself from Research. Could this be the end for sites like Clinton? Would they pull the plug even after spending $$$$$ on the Paulsboro site merger?

Don't be fooled, PIPs are just masked layoffs. If Exxon really cared about employees improving their performance, Exxon would do its best to motivate us. However, management has become an expert in sending demotivating messages. Even those who are... — read more

Is it true that BK does not have an IT background? Lmao is that supposed to be a joke? In what universe does it make sense to be appointed head of EMIT but never have had any IT experience. How does one square that?

Seems like a little "random" dr-g testing is a fine way to rid XOM of the "bottom" 10%. I've wondered why XOM has not done this easy way to avoid the negative image of having layoffs and still ridding itself of the dr-ggies.
