I'm hoping people here will know if we can expect any major layoff rounds any time soon? I got a job offer from a friend and I can start any time in the next few months. I'm considering leaving right away since I haven't been happy here for a long... — read more 

There will be a double-plus when I go or am let go. Just got my rolling black-out power back. Twice today. Out of this proud lone-star country and back to the future. I can see why Juneteenth is a thing - TX a little slow. Bluebonnets bloom... — read more 

Uh oh. Looks like earnings are about to take off. Maybe you weren’t so irreplaceable after all.

Beginning to hear more come out about TMTS, I thought it had been put on hold for a while. Our esteemed leaders have the “future state” all mapped out, how exciting ☺️ #winning

I’m leaving the company and negotiating a job offer which includes a move back to Houston. What have others been able to negotiate? Package covers pretty much everything other than home sale value loss. It isn’t a deal breaker but would sure be nice... — read more 

Shouldn’t take long to pay down debt at the rate oil prices are rising. Too bad our balance sheet wasn’t strong enough for us to have stuck with investing through the down cycle. Imagine if we had quit paying the dividend temporarily and stuck to our... — read more 

Been lurking this board regularly since the PIP-off last year. I honestly don't really know why, because the content has been mostly sh**posts, rants, trolling, and a lot of weird flexes by presumably insecure middle-aged dudes with "30+ years at... — read more 

Job hunting is weird. I get when there's no response to an application. I even understand when they ask, what's your salary range and when answered they don't answer. What I don't get is: Are you still interested in the position? [Reasonably... — read more 

I’m highly ranked but actively looking to get off this sinking ship (let’s be honest - who isn’t?) and I had a job interview after work today today with another company in Houston. I was really excited about the opportunity. When I joined my Zoom... — read more 

It’s time to wake up people…all of these panels/meetings the company is holding are an attempt at damage control. The company realizes those who are leaving now (mid performance review cycle) are the sharp ones that can read the tea leaves. They... — read more 

Early career employees will leave the company as soon as they vest in their 401k/Pension. There is literally no incentive to stay beyond 3/5 years with the way things are looking.

Has anyone heard that the reason management hasn't made an earnest attempt to improve the situation is because they are trying to find out who is "loyal" to the company? Rumors in Baytown say they're letting those who haven't drank the Kool-aid... — read more 

Ok folks. Just want to get a feel for how many of you think that Annandale will survive. I for one don't believe it will.

You need to set aside ego and begin acknowledging the high global attrition, the oversubscribed voluntary programs and the clear messages coming from below of a demoralized dejected workforce. You need to set aside the glossy powerpoints on why this... — read more 

If you quit the company, how does vacation payout work? Will you get paid for unused carry over and floating holidays too? Or just that years vacation allotment?

After zero deliberation... I've decided to resign to work for a competitor in a tangential career for a significant pay increase (40%). I honestly did not expect the offer, but that only made the decision all the easier. The situation at the... — read more 

After a lot of searching and talking it over with my wife, I accepted a job that comes with a 25 percent pay cut. I just can't stand working here anymore and having to deal with my airhead manager who keeps lying to his superiors to make himself look... — read more 

If the company was trying to help us improve performance they would allow us to take training rather than put us on PIPs. What a joke. PIP is to reduce headcount nothing more. If they put you on PIP may as well walk. You are marked forever and will... — read more

I'm seven years this month and have been highly rated and promoted. But I'm extremely stressed out about the ranking/rating process and Pips and all. I took off last friday and started on a bender last thursday night. Not like me at all. So... — read more 

Everyday I see 1-4 “I’ve resigned” posts on LinkedIn...and I have a relatively small network. Ive noticed this trend increasing over the last 4 months. I don’t ever recall seeing posts like this in the past but maybe I wasn’t looking???Anyone... — read more 

If I had routinely read these posts when I was a new hire, I might have had a shot at realizing that so much of the ranking system is political. I might have understood that there are employees who sabotage and lie. I might have understood how the... — read more 

I’m leaving EM after 21 years at the company. I got a job at another company in the industry. The pay and benefits are more or less the same so I wasn’t motivated by money, but just needed to leave this place. I’m not happy to say this nor am I... — read more 

For several years now all my high Ultimate potential reports are protected classes. Just curious if I am lucky or if this is widespread. For those not aware high ultimate potential is set not by your supervisor but those higher up in management. — read more 

Show up, don’t ask questions. Empty slido, zero q and a would be a great way to show solidarity in the mistrust in LT. Don’t we all already know answers to most questions? And that there will never be any action? To them we are just cheap labor... — read more

Megathread for the most career limiting posts you’ve seen on LinkedIn

What has been your experience with first and second line managers? Are they adding any value to your work? I see zero need for them. They are just messengers upward and downward. Is this is case in other groups.

Middle career, and not quite committed to leave yet. Giving it a couple of years to see if this mess can be put back together. But the more I think about this: 0-5 yrs resigned. 5-10 years thinning due to attrition. 20-30 years not going anywhere... — read more 

Would it be against the forum rules to post links to all the last day at ExxonMobil posts I am seeing on LinkedIn?

Is getting rid of AT&T wifi really saving anything? It probably needs more EMIT support and might add more data usage on the company cellphones since you have to choose to reconnect everyday. Not to mention having to accept the Ts & Cs (whatever they... — read more
