Departure posts on LinkedIn are again on rise? Is it because of PIPs, people retiring or leaving in droves? Whats going on? All the departees seem to be saying how good of an experience they have had but yet leaving?

How are those transfers from Clinton working out for you ?

Needs to be a class action suit 🤣 https://nypost.com/2026/08/06/business/white-marine-veteran-60-sues-shell-for-firing-during-alleged-dei-fueled-reorganization/

The hipos they stacked in LCS and LCDC failed spectacularly. Tells you a lot about the hipos doesn’t it.

I’ll be getting RSUs this year for the first time. Are the RSUs based on a maximum dollar amount of your CL and ranking or is it a set number of shares no matter what the stock price is? I.e you get 20 shares at $100 and still 20 shares at $150 stock... — read more

All the current executives can do is cut cut cut. Just look at the disasters that are the trading group and LCS.

Just hit 20 years. And in those 20 years my supervisors have never done anything for any of my milestone anniversaries.

Is EM trading finally making money? How do we compare with competitors?

Trust me, you do not need “mentors.” By my second year they assigned me one, and when I asked my teammates what that even meant, they all said the same thing: “We barely talk to ours.” And after my own interaction, I understood exactly why. These... — read more 

For the past couple years I have been working on AI projects that have been kept silent because they will be replacing a lot of jobs/people on campus. Get your money right and prepare yourself. They don’t care about you.

Almost all the up streamers were piped out of my group. Now no one knows what to do and I am constantly having to explain things to the downstreamers who surround me.

"Exxon Mobil, too much, too much money," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "They ought to give some of that back to the public, and they better cut the retail price, the consumer price."

I have seen maybe hundreds of Indian Impats on Spring campus and many at the 3 B’s. I have heard that they are so low paid that even with housing and expat benefits that they are lower cost than American employees. I have also seen a few threads... — read more 

I keep hearing of lots of HR complaints that are happening in the BTC office. Is this true or just more rumor mongering

Seems like we are losing so many people to JERA and some very senior people too. What’s up with this esp as the LNG business is supposed to be a key area for XOM

A study by MIT confirmed that this is the #1 predictor of employee turnover. A toxic culture! ❎ Not salary. ❎ Not workload. ✅ Culture. Most toxic workplaces aren't ruined by incompetence. They're ruined by disrespect. The most dangerous leader... — read more 

Clearly however they are doing benchmarking is corrupt and flawed. Every year the executives pay themselves more while cutting employee compensation. The gap between executive and employee compensation just grows larger and larger every year. Now as... — read more

With so many layers of management, how do you even define an executive? Does “executive” refer to anyone reporting directly to a VP or higher ?

What’s the projection on salary escalation by rank and CL increase for 27?

Management is clueless. I know of no other place where executive management would be so indifferent to the absolute rock bottom morale. No wonder they quit doing the surveys.

Is this distribution valid for all teams? O – 20% E – 20% VG – 20% G – 20% NI – 20% (includes NSI at 5% or8%)

I’m in the MAC program. My manager told me people can be ranked anywhere from NSI to O even in MAC, but my teammate said that in the first year (MAC) people are automatically ranked “Good.” Which one is actually true?

... Folks at work should be smiling ear to ear, yet morale is in the cr-pper. Doesn't someone go hey, is this what 1+1=3 really mean...? Discuss.

Getting my PDS feedback this week. Please pray for me!!

I’m starting to see a lot more BTC expats in my building….nothing against them, but will they at least be ranked for performance against US local team members?

I feel like my team has hit rock bottom. Every single person is looking for something else. Everyone.

Post here if you are NRE and have your Assessment feedback scheduled before August 15th. How close are you to retirement and what do you plan to do? Is this your first or second in 5 years? If your first and you have more than 1 year to go, is it... — read more

Do execs have similar ranking process as the rest of us? If so, do they have similar levels of MLRP?

It will be a bloodbath

I never know what to expect. One week very friendly the next week short and dismissive almost seeming angry.

They stage the whole cycle so they can manufacture nonsense feedback. The entire year I kept asking my manager for a real project because I was under‑utilized and stuck doing basic data analysis. I even reached out to others for work, but he blocked... — read more
