Need to repair reputation
Company's reputation has really dropped. It used to be a privilege to work here. Isn't it sad to hear what people in the industry think about EM now? Everything I hear is very negative.
Examples of (not) best practices
When will this company stop hiring people based on irrelevant credentials. The amount of incompetent dark people they are hiring just to hit their quotas makes no sense. How can we be expected to maximize shareholder value while carrying around all... — read more

We should have an exchange of employees programs
For a few months, just so that people could realize that it's all the same, big shitshow when it comes to employees. You won't be treated better at Chevron, or Shell, or BP, or whichever other major O&G company you are thinking of joining. If you... — read more
They forget that newbies need training
I spoke to one of the new hires and that person rightly feels lost here. It is very different when you are trained by a person who is an expert at what they do, versus when you are trained by a mediocre employee who does not even know how to do his... — read more
Why does EM keep on loosing talent?
Is there a number they have to get to?
We have got money!
Now that we have got money and lots of it ExxonMobil IT hosted their team building welcoming summer with games, ice cream with food trucks brought over. With that reduction in our operational costs last year by pipping, laying off, and forcing people... — read more

I'm yet to meet somebody who regretted leaving XOM
This is just an observation for those who are currently on the fence, and I know there are quite a few of those. People are either getting higher pay and better benefits or enjoying a much healthier culture. For the lucky ones, it's both. If you know... — read more
Permian Inflation
Move to Midland they said. We will pay you a 20% premium they said. Then they cut the premium. Meanwhile the house I sold in Houston is now worth 50% more while my house in Midland has barely gone up in value. Huge loss of wealth to me and my family... — read more
Pension question
If an NRE (52-55?) leaves the company now, is there a lumpsum option and if so what is the formula? (Online estimator tool does not provide a lumpsum number for this scenario)
Staffing issues
I don’t know if the problem is that the hiring process is too slow or if people are generally not interested in working at EM, but the fact is that a lot of people are missing so workplace efficiency is taking a downturn. The question is can this... — read more

I quit
I submitted my resignation because the job is damaging my mental and physical health. The work load is taking a toll. The lack of qualified leadership is hardly inspiring. Feels like I’m pressured to quit. Not NSI last cycle. I am late... — read more
How easy is it to roll your Voya 401k into an IRA?
Is the overall process long? Is it close to an instant transfer or is the money out of the market for a few weeks?
Sometimes I wonder what happened.
I’ve been with the company for 20+ years and I can’t remember a time when the morale has been so low. Sure there are many reasons the company has been struggling for the last few years, but I know there have been countless poor corporate decisions... — read more

What's happening with layoffs?
It's been a while since I've heard of anybody being laid off.
External job postings
Looks like LCS and a few other businesses put out external job postings on LinkedIn. What the h_ll? Why don’t they look for qualified candidates internally first before they look for outside hires? It’s a slap in the face to all the dedicated... — read more

Max raise anyone ever got?
I just got an offer for a ~30% pay increase from a competitor. Is there any world where XOM gives me that much of a raise even if I get OwD with a CL bump? I’m pretty sure the answer is no and that Exxon would say something like “we provide... — read more
When Exxon will understand??
My group is forced to come to the office every day. You can’t work from home even 1 day a week and flex hrs is a joke. Managers do watch and say something if you are not in the office early. Then they don’t understand why people leave??? All those... — read more

Debt and cash strategy
I have mixed opinions on whether EM’s debt and cash strategy is good and whether it makes sense. Anyone willing to discuss?
The Problem
Here’s the problem. There is not a single manager in this company who motivates me. There are a couple who share a kindred skepticism of company culture. And there are a couple who are quite sweet, because they have drank deeply of the koolaide... — read more
Time for a change.
Just received the shareholder proxy package, does anyone else think it’s time to vote against DW for reelection? Might speak a little louder than a rigged survey would.
How’s the sh!tshow going?
Just curious to see how bad it gets. Thanks.
Verification of Employment - why so difficult?
As a former employee, is it possible to get a VOE from Exxonmobil? I call the number and they just give me the runaround because I’m a former employee. My former supervisor and department head act like they never knew me. Spineless simps. — read more
Work All The Time?
