Harvard Business Review by JR Keller and Kathryn Dlugos July 22, 2021 There is perhaps no better experience for a hiring manager than seeing the resume of an outstanding internal candidate land on their desk. You can fill the job immediately and... — read more
New CFO Gets 80,000 Shares
Do we still believe this fraud about being an energy company? Looks like we don’t care about the core business sham anymore.
Too young but too old
I’ve been laid off more than once from past jobs and it normally takes me at least 9 months to find a job.. I’m in my early 50s now and if I get fired (which is bound to happen) I’m pretty much screwed. The older you are the more difficult it gets... — read more
Biting the hand that feeds you
XOM has faults - every company does but I see posts criticizing the company by former/current employees and while I can understand the former it’s the latter that has me puzzled. You get paid well just as I do yes? You get health insurance just like... — read more

Is EM still hiring off college campus?
I heard that there are new recruits straight off of campus. Recruiters must be brainwashed or have good acting skills to convince students to start a career here. Seems crazy to fire 12 year experience good performer then hire ignorant kid with no... — read more
What's the end goal?
The last info I can find is that XOM had 72,000 employees in 2020. I know it's a big number, but if you want to be among the biggest O&G companies you can't expect to do it with five employees. You need people to make money and to grow. The more... — read more
Are any other O&G companies going through this madness?
Ex-experienced hire here. I took PIL last year when the first wave of high target MLRP hit. I always did pretty well before that in terms of ranking. I transitioned over to chemicals which is night and day compared to what XOM became in 2020. Just... — read more
Mid-Cycle Salary Treatments!!!

Love seeing all these inactive linkedin profiles suddenly full of life

If we are about to fire the lowest performers
does that mean that the entire ELT is about to be kicked to the curb?
Consider when comparing offers
When comparing offers consider that many other companies offer a bonus as well as stock. And their stock actually increases in value over time. It can be a significant amount.
Where can I find a copy of my employee agreement?
I recently received an offer from another company that is contigent upon review of any employee agreements that are currently in place. From what I can remember I signed an intellectual property agreement, but cannot find records if it anywhere. I... — read more
Should have replaced CEO. not just CFO.
By every possible performance measure, Woods should PIP himself. An externally sourced replacement should be sought for CEO. Prove me wrong.
A lot of GP first lines were on vacation last week
I’m assuming they were told to take the week off to prepare for ranking feedback. They need to be well rested to “own” the outcome. These people have no souls.
Another round of layoffs November 1st?
I have heard from a reliable source that another round of layoffs is planned on November 1st (i.e. impacted employees will be communicated to on that date). Has anyone else heard this as well?
Good ol Pal and PAC: American Petroleum Institute (API) keeps the lights on.

Why we are so bitter

Apparently we don't have the best executives

How hard is it to prove wrongful termination?
I'm going to assume that the incoming reductions in force through PIPs and whatnot will be used to get rid of some of the better paid employees as well. Will it be possible for those affected (since severance will not be involved) to sue XOM for... — read more
