Keep this in mind: Minerals Management Service / Exxon MMS/XO. 1990s. S'not Nostradamus but the paper files are found. Time to flee, best and brightest. Layoffs ain't the half o it.

This is from an old Glassdoor review in 2017 - so dated in several respects. Amazing how much fall-off from just a few years ago. But it still has much relevance and insight. Long but succinct. LAY OFFS: Because the company is SO profitable, they... — read more 

Pulling a comment from a previous post. Do people really see experienced hires as 2nd class employees? I haven’t seen it yet but I’m fairly new and have only worked with a small group of people so far.

Hey y’all, I accepted the PIL in early August. I was told that my medical insurance would last for three months because I’m technically still an employee but I just found out that the company actually canceled my insurance on the 31st of this month... — read more 

After dumping off a lot of our colleagues of the payroll via disguised PIPs and Layoff, it seems we are recruiting back again, mainly overseas. Curious to hear what our recruiting teams and recruiters are selling to college and experienced hires... — read more 

Please share you’re favorite “episode” that fully encapsulates the XOM unconventional experience. Bonus upvotes for subtly pointing out mid/upper level management unconventional incompetence

Appreciate some advice: I’m a CL 25 on the downstream engineering “B” salary curve, consistently ranked in the top 2 quintiles, YEE 10, and 159K salary. I’m expecting a promotion to 26 this year and may move to the upstream “A” curve which could... — read more 

650 union workers locked out by the company, fires, injuries, tired EM employees. Why are you all not speaking up? Why do you let the company treat you like this ?

Lets entertain this scenario. Middle management is fired. What are the benefits and ramifications?

How did we end up with such horrible senior and executive management that completely lacks direction and seems powerless to do anything of consequence that would right this ship? Maybe having too many levels of management altogether could have... — read more

Does anyone know the rough salary curve differences between upstream and downstream in the US? For engineering? Commercial? Different by CL or roughly same percentage difference?

When does L3/L2 management get held to the same PIP / MRLP criteria of 8-10%. This has to be asked again and again and again. This is where the real fat is and this is what would provide the most savings while affecting the operations and... — read more 

Folks leaving posting - I can understand. What’s up with the folks who are still with company, commenting and liking the posts?! Are they suggesting I am so good that I can wish people well and my boss would like that aspect of me?! Also what... — read more 

How can you be working in O&G for years or even decades and not have developed a thicker skin by now? Some of the complaints I see here are both sad and laughable. Some are valid, especially relating to PIPs, but most are about somebody's feelings... — read more

One of the reasons people are so upset is the glaring difference in employment experience between the masses and HiPos. HiPos continued to receive salary increases and promotions while not worrying about their employment. Remember being ranked high... — read more 

You can't expect your officers to be loyal to you unless you're loyal to them... When they have that confidence in you, they'll go to the ends of the world for you.

As of today (08/31/2021) since 2008-09 financial crisis, EM stock price grows (sic) -18%. Same time period, S&P +516%, Chevron +46%. EM executives have been underpaid. LOL

What are some of the EMIT VP's best contributions that have had the most positive impact?

If you’re from the Clinton site you already know what’s happening, if you’re not, long story short, there’s a new swimming pool in the basement. Is this the final nail in the Clinton coffin? YL is probably hyperventilating thinking of repair costs... — read more

In my team it has become the general rule that the best performers are first to leave. This has been going on for a while. I get the fact that there are a lot of companies in the industry out there, and that a knowledgeable employee can certainty... — read more 

Hi friends, I’m currently undergoing a PiP and I just don’t want to do it anymore. On the MLRP site, it says you are able to take the Excused with Pay Option, “at the company’s discretion”. Has anyone not been given this option and fired instead? — read more

I have had enough of the PIP and want to convert to PIL. The MLRP site said this was a possibility after a month. Can it be done sooner? Can you circumvent your manager and go straight to HR?

Was told by my supervisor that despite my over the top technical work, I was deemed to be rank ‘Very Good’ because I’m no ‘visible’ enough in the office and should join more of the Management driven innovation team. Seems to me that technical... — read more 

It is better to die as a human being than live like a purposeless subservient cog in ExxonMobil wheel. EM culture will only lets zombies survive. You got any other opinions/quotes?

Is its just commonly accepted now that Legacy XTO employees are being targeted by the PIP?

I've seen like 100 companies mandate the vaccine. It seems like it's only a matter of time until Exxon follow suit.

I believe many managers do know and do care. Some of them are not great people, but many are. The problem is that they have 20 years of training to never stick your neck out. You will not see many managers take any initiative on this, regardless... — read more
