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

EMIT Exp hire 10 years industry 1 year XOM ~130K CL24

After joining the company, the employees are being brainwashed with "fear"... as a result, many of the colleagues "fear" about the unknown working somewhere else - hence they stay although they are not happy. Some also "fear" about the money as they... — read more 

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 

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.

Anyone know if the 8 weeks of PPTO that ExxonMobil gives is considered Paid Family Leave when filing a U.S. tax return, and if one should expect a 1099-G form? I tried getting an answer from HR and payroll assistance, but they're worthless. Terrible... — read more 

With the announcements that came - who won and who lost ?

Will the solid earnings translate to higher compensation?

People might not be happy but they're not letting that affect their day-to-day life and that's a good thing. I've been a part of a team (this was before XOM) where the manager and the overall toxic culture completely destroyed morale to the point... — read more 

I resigned 5+ years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Less stress, no more back stabbing, no arrogant leaders, and constantly treated with dignity and respect. Is it 100% perfect? Of course not! Is it way better? Absolutely. I wonder... — read more 

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?

Anyone who buys into the pipe dream that Exxon is somehow committed to invest in low-carbon “solutions”, isn’t looking at the numbers. The boost in cash flow will allow Exxon to increase the pace of a $10 billion share buyback previously announced... — read more 

Just watch the employee forum. They never really answered the question about attrition and more importantly PIPing. They clearly want to pivot to the future and not discuss the present cluster f…. And the real joke is that they actually think they... — read more 

Post your suggestions for a new more appropriate EM motto below.

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 !

The MCs need to take the matter into their own hands regarding massive attrition. All of them will sit in the cube and will be watching if people come to take their iconic meme photo before leaving. "Eye of Sauron" is the codename of this ambitious... — read more 

Great we are back where we started in 2017. Only one person to blame.

"Exxon had around 72,000 regular employees as of end-2020. It last year disclosed plans to reduce its global workforce by 14,000 by the end of 2021. " Question is: did we meet the number yet? (58,000 employees)

According to Neil C., we're so much better than our competitors. The company is reorganizing to enable better leveraging our our internal capabilities. So why is it that we continue to mismanage the PDS process? Another 8% lost in 2022? Or even more... — read more

I was waiting for the earnings call, but it seems like the official data is only going to be shared in the 10k. Did they end up cutting 14000 positions? 2020 YE data was 72 k now if you count ppl below presidents we should be around 62 k. 4000 more... — read more

How much did they save with the 401k cut? A few hundred million? Now they have $10 billion they don’t know how to spend so it’s going to retiring common stock rather than the long term “commitment” to their employees. Exxodus should accelerate for... — read more

I can easily automate what manager do all day. It will save great deal of money for company.

Effective July 1, 2023 the Irving office will relocate to the Houston Campus. About time!

Slido is blank again and not anonymous. No interest in reality. Wonder what these leaders will talk about ?

It seems to have slowed down once again.

When people post LinkedIn cube pictures, they talk about inspiring, friendly, and talented colleagues, and also talk about colleagues who they will miss? I wonder if there is another ExxonMobil in a parallel universe where such colleagues exist?
