I keep hearing around the campus that the rate of attrition is too high for senior management liking and they don’t understand why people are leaving. I haven’t seen any efforts to actually retain people though across the board. Anyone hearing the... — read more 

Is it true different business units have different NSI targets? Overall, the average is 8%. The distribution of NSI's is set by HR when they merge the lists. Years of service, age, and salary etc are all factored in.

I was ranked OwD this year and am FI. Gauging when to make my exit to inflict maximum pain.

I'm wondering when will we know the fate of the first round of the latest PIPs, the ones that are part of the most recent RIF push? I'd like to see if even one person is not let go at the end of their period. If the answer is no, then it's going to... — read more

It’s time to make this place 1% better every day. Happy you all have a fabulous day.

I see mentioned often on this forum about getting a lawyer and sticking it to the man for getting PIPed or laid off maybe for age racial discrimination or other angles. Has anyone had any legal success against ExxonMobil - winning a bigger... — read more

What do most NRE's get this cycle? What are the consequences of DPC?

Just when you think 8% NSI is too high because we only hire the best, you look at your email and you have 80 responses to a large Emit group email where people responded to all with “take me off this distribution list”. Maybe 8% is too low haha

I'm just realistic. I have a horrible manager who thinks the louder he yells, the better he manages. For some reason, I'm the target of his outbursts 90 percent of the time. I've been called a doormat by a colleague recently for not standing up to... — read more 

Will they close the Clinton site? Will parts of EMRE merge with chemical research and/or UIS? Appreciate any insights so we are better prepared for the storms.

All of the safety stuff this company promotes is so fake. “Hold the handrail” “being in the office promotes culture of safety”. Driving to the office is probably the most unsafe given most of us take 45. And what about the email we just got about the... — read more

We’re seeing massive attrition in downstream with no effort to retain employees. It makes you realize employees are not valued.

What is going on in Brazil? We paid a huge premium for our acreage. Did exploration make a mistake or are we about to hit a big payday?

Plenty of people were added to EM in the last twelve months, I think more than enough to make a nice dent in the planned reduction numbers. Why doesn't the company get rid of them - they have the least experience and knowledge and will cost the least... — read more
