They have given me 21 days to decide between PIP or PIL. Very demoralizing.

Downstream Canada forum announced an above field study under HW3 and how it can impact headcount. Anyone have details on this and what groups will be targeted? Thanks.

Been promised since April, still not available at the end of June. Embarrassed to let employees see how much they lost with the 401k match whacked. This would be a good time to ask, remind me again how much of a compensation hit DW took?

I know they are supposed to start in July, but does anyone know if they will happen at the beginning, middle or end of the month? I am in EMIT if that effects it.

Employee morale and productivity will improve if we keep technical and engineering folks in the US and move those non-valued SLS positions overseas.

Noticing which posts/threads are being deleted here on the LO. The racist or poopy are deleted (sometimes) and that is just alright. But starting to notice the deletion of topically LO-related that suggest methods for individuals to protect... — read more 

XOM is going down the path like Enron. If XOM wants to cut costs, they need to streamline its management hierarchy. Most SLS's have zero technical skills. Their jobs are to have endless 1:1 meetings and reduce team's productivity. They often set... — read more

Since they are now getting rid of the lowest performers, I'm going to assume this means whoever gets put on a PIP is as good as gone? Or are they going to skip PIPs altogether now? I know a few people who were put on a PIP years ago and managed to... — read more 

Folks, this decision has been made at the ‘highest’ level by inbred freaks that lead our company. There nothing anyone can really do about it. So stop asking for it. Entire world and companies are waking up to new reality but the disgusting... — read more 

I hate to burst your bubbles, but all this great training you claim to have gotten with the Double Cross, is not great training. I worked midstream before it was called midstream, retired, and went back to midstream. I would never had gotten a job... — read more 

Nothing to see here, just bunch of whiney engineers making 200k a year complaining about everything. My 60 yr old grandma can run incremental economics for a third of your salary, Chad.

Listen, lots of companies out there NEED some of the skills you’ve acquired (or at least have been exposed to) during your time at XOM. Many places are holding their peckers wondering how to move into a more mature, process-driven enterprise. Don’t... — read more 

I'm unhappy as many of you all are, about the lack of transparency and sometimes, competency of our management. The lack of flexibility makes it overall a less competitive workplace, and it certainly doesn't help compensation has stalled. However... — read more 

Two of my coworkers got laid off 2 weeks ago. Our manager claims he had nothing to do with it and was just told who has to be let go. Even though I don’t believe him entirely ( I rethink he was consulted and asked to suggest who should be let go) I... — read more 

Hello, I'm just a pre covid new hire from school, please help to understand even though our stock is doing good and its going up but still why this bad situation in XOM?

I’ve been searching the network and share points for future headcount target slide packs. They have to be out there. Help me find them.

When I joined the company I was proud of the business. We were profitable. Employee pay was good as were benefits. Organization was growing with many opportunities. Stock was climbing. Credit rating was best. Oh how far we have fallen. Not much to be... — read more

Have you checked only technical in careerconnect? You wouldn’t want to become a koolaid drinking boot li---r would you? I’m seeing a whole lot of people who would jump at the chance if offered.

Anyone seeing BTC engineers show up at the office? Heard there will be some coming as expats to America.

Seems to me PIL is heading to $100 again. Company seems to realize it will be short lived though. Once gas is expensive people will really pile into electric cars. High prices will drive the transition to renewables even faster. High prices are not a... — read more

I am scratching my head at what people are posting on LinkedIn for resignation posts. They go something like, “I am so grateful for the amazing experience I had at ExxonMobil.” You’re freaking quitting. What is this? Stockholm syndrome?

I recent heard that if you get to CL 26 and above, the company will give shares.. is there really such a thing?

Are we really a global company, and manage talent as it should be? All senior leadership positions still seem to go to the same people despite no clear evidence of strong performance. Is the company really changing for the better?

I looked at many of the companies that are hiring for my skill set and compared what they offer in terms of pay, work life balance, culture, benefits, location, etc and compared them and exxon using a forced ranking system. Exxon ended up in the... — read more

So DW was like one of the least voted board members at the recent Investor vote. He and his trusted colleague Frazier who is supposed to be independent were well down the list. Very telling.
