Those who survived PIP
It would be very interesting and useful to hear the experiences of those who have survived PIP before (I know there are not that many). Are there any tips or does it all come down to pure luck?
EMCC Forum is lies, lies, lies

Great time to job switch. Post 5 years and new vacation allotment.
Just realizing it’s be a month paid off and nearly six figures rolling into 401k. Don’t think anyone should fear the outside world with that as a nice little “severance” package. Sure you get a high five from the boss as well on the way out! Everyone... — read more
Resignation of friends and mentors
Hitting me hard to see so many of my friends and mentors resign and leave the company. The one thing that was keeping me here was the relationships and now I’m losing even that. Time to get serious about job search I suppose.

Are all jobs as toxic as XOM?
I've been at XOM for about 5 years now. My question is....are all similar employers as toxic and stressful as XOM, or am I just used to the abuse?
Too many things are broken
There is no easy fix to what's wrong with XOM right now. There are so many things that are broken that need immediate attention, but sadly we have leadership that doesn't care. For example: The management-employees relationship is completely... — read more

Savings
Curious to hear - for those still at EM, at what point would you feel like you've saved up enough to just bail from EM and either retire or just go do something else? Obviously savings matter less if you're jumping to another job, but a decent nest... — read more

Rollover pension lump sum into savings plan?
I resigned last year and just got my pension benefits package. Is there any reason NOT to roll over the lump sum into my XOM savings plan rather than an outside IRA? I'd rather keep the balance out of an IRA for now so I can continue doing backdoor... — read more
Why not wait?
Lots of retirements March 1. Why not wait for PIP/PIL season? It’s only a few more months of misery. And you could be saving someone else’s job.

Fixing the toxic work culture
I hate that I didn't leave earlier. Is it even possible to fix the toxic work culture here anymore or is that the last thing our leadership thinks about?

HQ move was the last step before the mega merger
Honestly I think the move from Dallas is to get our company ready for a merger with Chevron. They can close the Cali HQ and HEMC will be the Death Star !
