EM Environment
Dallas Execs have been able to make Sponsored Koolaid drinkers love the Company. They need to spread that love done to the real workforce. Give 3% bonus to every worker every month that oil averages over $100. Give RSUs to everyone. Stop the PIP... — read more
How to know this management has lost our trust - completely

For those jumping ship, what are the options?
I’m curious which specific companies, roles, and/or industries the engineers leaving ExxonMobil (or other large operator) go to? Assuming 2-5 years experience and little to no tech/coding knowledge.
Is Geoscience still over staffed?
