With google and tsla doing stock splits, will xom consider doing it sooner than later?

My group is loosing some young engineers in 2022, but far fewer than were leaving at this same time in 2021. Also no more RE left in my group so none to leave in 2022. Attrition way down? Is this typical across most groups?
