I keep wondering what can make employees more valuable at EM. How to be of value to the company? Because, having expertise alone, judging by my experience, definitely doesn’t help anyone become indispensable here.

.....maybe it's against company policy??

Yeah, I didn't think so.

What hotshot decided it was a great idea to put the search bar at the absolute bottom of the homepage? It’s like we don’t even try anymore.

Does this enable the process?

Hearing rumors, how about other sites?

It is pretty simple. It is a forced distribution. Everyone can’t be Outstanding. 20% must be NI and 5% NSI. Those ranked low will villanize their supervisor and complain that someone else on their team should have been ranked low and they should have... — read more 

EMIT! We are core to the company’s success, yet we, the smartest in the room, are disregarded by the rock scientists

A company like Exxon, where pathetic non-productive behavior and zero risk/innovative behavior is rewarded, should be eliminated

Anyone know what is so special about the "Special lump sum pension payment offer coming soon " I got mail notofocation about today ?

Now I wonder what they will find to say that my performance was not good enough. Even if I did all my work perfectly, Exxon would find something wrong with it. That's how it goes here. They do their best to come up with one such little thing to... — read more

All I keep hearing about are PIPs, barely anybody mentions layoffs anymore. It would make sense since layoffs cost them money through severance and unemployment. PIPs end in firings, which might cost them unemployment, depending on the state, and... — read more 

Hello, your friend BK here, just wanted to remind you all that no matter how hard you try you will never be capable of doubling your salary out there. If you think you can, then good luck hotshot

My supervisor asked my team to force rank our team including identify who should be NSI, NI, etc. She said she would use it as input like KO feedback. Good or bad idea? I bet everyone on the team puts themself as Outstanding.

Just curious, Am I the only one who tells their neighbors I get free gas because I am an employee? It’s fun to watch them react.

I heard we waaay overpaid for our dry ho-e leases in Brazil. Anyone know how much more we paid than the second place bid? Anyone being PIPd for wasting all that money?

Wow. NSI reduced from 8% to 5% is just a smokescreen. 20% will still need to be needs improvement.

I calculated my xom salary adjusted by inflation. It' been flat since 2014. 14 years in the company. Two CL promotions. I have always been ranked in the middle.

Exxon has no intention to get rid of the pension because we will never have to pay it. We PIP you at year 13 or 14 so the pension costs us nothing. On paper we are one of the few companies offering a pension, but financially it costs us nothing. We... — read more

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?

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?
