I've been PIPd and it was very unpleasant, the brief conversation. About 5 minutes – with my current (3 mo) Supervisor and also his predecessor (2 yrs) laying it out – timing, meaning, encouragement. I actually like the current S. So I saved the... — read more 

I am new to XOM and have fallen in love with the safety culture here. Just so I don’t break any rules, are we allowed to chew gum while walking on campus?

Thank you to whoever made up the story being passed around about running into an old colleague near the elevator and telling them to not resign. Needed some comedic relief on my Wednesday.

Anyone on here around during what I understand was an extended downturn in the 1980’s and 90’s? What was it like to work at ExxonMobil during that time? I fear I must have joined in a bo-m and have a warped sense of what normal at this company and in... — read more 

I have sent out two. I am still trying to decide what industry and jobs I should be applying for.

Has management been transparent with any groups on headcount targets? Where are we headed?

It feels riskier to work at ExxonMobil and in the oil and gas sector than before. I used to trade higher pay for security of ExxonMobil but now with security gone feel I should be paid more to compensate for removal of security previously promised. I... — read more 

I support capitalism so I struggle with this one. If the market wants to pay them more so be it. What am I missing? It doesn’t feel right for CEOs to make so much but maybe it is a good thing.
