What are your thoughts about the email that was sent to the EMIT LT last week?

Never found anyone used the service. Looks more like a failure.

All of you who are so happy to be full-time remote, you do realize your replacements are probably being trained in cheaper countries as we speak?

Successful companies have strong cultures that the workforce can relate to and are aligned with. EM used to have a strong and fair identity and culture and I think most employees were proud of the company, but recently I have seen a total change in... — read more 

I have seen in past few years many friends and co workers leaving exxon earlier than expected. I can only comment on my field research and development. In the past there were no layoffs or increased PIPs. If you were older you could work until at... — read more

XOM's insistence that climate change isn't happening may have destroyed trust in the oil and gas industry and consequently calls to shut it down. Darren recently discovered that we have done a lot of carbon capture and informed investors. Anyone... — read more 

I hired in from college and have been with Exxon for 3 years now, but I see so many people leaving after 13 or 14 years. Why wouldn’t they say another 1-2 years and get the health care paid for once they reach 55? Why are so many people who seemed... — read more 

Got pipped in late July & took the PIL and left the company - got a job offer today at a company in Houston I’m not super interested in and pays ~$15K less than Exxon. I’ve mostly been applying to jobs near my hometown city on the east coast but... — read more

I know that CL isn’t the sole variable in salary calculations, but generally speaking does someone know kinda the rough estimate of 23-30 (or even higher if you know) for EMIT?

Anyone know what it takes to have your potential increased higher than the default 29 if you are middle age? Is your potential only going down once you hit 35 years old or can it still be moved up into your early 40 ‘s before being locked down? — read more

How do the higher CLs equate to positions and salary? Here’s what I understand (and some guesses) to start the conversation: 39-40: President / Corporate VP, $1M?+ total renumeration 37-38: SVP, $700-900K 35-36: VP / Major Country General... — read more 

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

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?

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?
