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?

Does anyone know how long you need to wait before you can be hired as a consultant after retiring?

Is the car good and would you recommend it to the rest of us? Why?

Ranking meetings underway in Permian

I just read the article and it's not bad, but I'm not sure about the author's comparison with 2009. Here it is: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4513917-exxon-mobil-there-will-be-blood

You could get an idea of wide rang of job types and maybe see where you want to aim your career. Would be good to have a specific goal or ideal job to work towards. This could establish more self ownership of one's future.

There are too many redundant roles throughout XOM, we have people who are happy to start political wars, territorial managers (and employees) who limit cooperation and even try to claim your work as theirs, and so many other things. We need a major... — read more 

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.

Been offered a transfer to Billings Refinery. Anyone work there with insights as to what the culture is like there? Is it heavy in politics? How are the BTLs? Is there a group to avoid working for?

Please excuse my ignorance. I have not been with the company very long. I am just now hearing that some new hires are sponsored. What exactly does that mean? No one will really give me a straight answer. I think it’s safe to assume I am not one of... — read more 

If you were treated badly as an employee, why even come back as contractor at a fraction of the price? It was as suggested that I should back as consultant. Not sure I want to come back to this toxic environment.

Some say it won't happen for a long time. Any thoughts?

Anyone get their ranking feedback yet? If so, when and which location and business line?
