I’m in a field office so I don’t see the resignations firsthand, only on LinkedIn. How bad is it really back at the main offices and manufacturing sites?

Considering there was a pay freeze in 2021, and EM reporting higher profits now, will we be getting a pay adjustments to account for the pay freeze next year?

I still don't know if I'm NSI. I thought there were deadlines for this, so maybe my petty supervisor saved his best for last. He's closing on a new house, so we'll give him a break. But I am out of here in any case, within a few weeks. All but... — read more

Anyone received NCAS (savings) amount after leaving ExxonMobil?

The PIPs are-a-flyin this week in the permian!!! Nice to see some who got the pip. Well deserved. Some, i cant believe they got pipped. Some, i can’t believe they didn’t. What a screwed up company.

I got NI and I’m under 5 years. I have no intention on taking the PIP. I just found out. Should I take PIL today or should I wait until my 7 days are over?

Just saying, it keeps paying back...

in the inside we all know XOM is going nowhere and shrinking its value every day... but outside the hysteria about new oil discoveries makes me cry. Wall street is such a scammer!!
