Lack of Warn Notice

XOM may regret not offering a warn notice early on in the pandemic. I'm sure some ex-employees are gearing up for legal action. https://techstaffer.blog/2020/12/23/should-exxonmobil-have-provided-a-warn-notice-to-employees-before-layoffs/

Why are you so determined to stress over nothing?

We know there'll be no more layoffs before March, yet people keep asking if there'll be more tomorrow or the next week or whenever. Why do that to yourself? Relax and try to enjoy this little reprieve we were given. God knows we'll have plenty to... — read more

Will XOM be one of those companies that realizes working from home is an option and allow their employees to do so after the COVID pandemic?

I think working from home has been a success for XOM. I wouldn’t say it is for everyone. Some people like going into the office to get away from distractions (kids, etc) at home. On the other hand, I think others have found an increase in... — read more 

New business ideas for the future

I got PIPed last year after 24 years at ExxonMobil. My wife started a beauty salon 6 years that unfortunately did not make it. I was running a software business on the side selling to universities and for training. Now I am out of ExxonMobil but... — read more

Tone-deaf psychopaths

There must be a higher percentage of tone-deaf psychopaths at XOM than elsewhere because only on the XOM layoff site are there people who brag about how they’re not laid off and continuing to rake it in or annuitants swanning around in their wealth... — read more 

CL Salary Ranges

I’ve heard from several people who have left that the money is better elsewhere. I am an experienced hire in 2018. I’m a CL 28, with a salary of $202,500 and no bonus. What can expect upon promotion to CL 29 and 30? 10% salary bump with... — read more

This place used to be good

I don't know if this is because my 20th anniversary is approaching and I'm being hit with nostalgia, but I miss the Exxon of old. I miss being proud of working here and having managers who knew what they were doing. Who were in this with us and acted... — read more 

XOM vs GME

Today we witnessed high powered GME surge in stock price greater than our XOM. Not sure if this is the end of oil, but used game company that was allegedly on the ropes has XOM beat. Can’t touch their solid dividend, motivated investors, casual... — read more 

For those let go, when does the gas discount expire?

For those who were let go, when did your gas discount expire? Was it effective immediately upon your separation date? Also, did you have to do anything if your balance was previously paid out of your paycheck?

Retirement eligible and NSI

So, what's the deal with retirement eligible people in the "Need significant improvement" bucket? Are they PIPd like anyone else, or is there some sort of protection? My gut is telling me I'll be affected next feedback cycle...

Should I leave to go to Amazon?

Amazon offers lower base salary (~ 15k lower) but sign on bonus makes total compensation higher (~15k higher). I’ll be able to stay in Houston and travel to different locations so no cost of living changes. Amazon doesn't have pensions and will... — read more 

I'm much happier now

I stopped stressing and learned to enjoy my job when I realized that going above and beyond would bring me the exact same rewards as I would get for just doing what's required, no more no less. Same pay, same miserable bonuses, same chances at... — read more 

Can we get an update?

How many of those laid off have found new jobs by now? I'm sure plenty of you still talk to your former coworkers, do you mind sharing what's going on with them? I'm hoping to hear some good news on this subject since there's plenty of us who'll be... — read more 

EMIT Canada Specifically Doesn’t Get It

Has anyone had the experience where

as a new and young engineer you are taught to be nice to the operators. You see white collar people being overly nice to the point of kissing butt with then at times to keep peace. But the operators are never taught the same culture of being kind to... — read more 

Has this been posted before?

Employers like Exxon are ideally looking for an employee with the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and the pay scale of a 20 year old. Isn't it sad that this might have started like a joke but... — read more

Release/waiver agreement review by attorney?

I am a part of the involuntary lay-off. Did any of you get the release/waiver agreement reviewed by a lawyer? I asked around and lawyers charge about $400 for the review. Not sure if it’s worth it.

New College Hires

I get the fact that you dont want an age gap in your talent, but you’d think that in a hundred year pandemic the company might say ‘hmmm, maybe we can hold off on hiring for A YEAR!’. Before anyone screams, I also get that college grads are... — read more

HR Problems

Well it looks like HR is not equipped to handle all of the questions from the people being separated. I have been on hold for over 2 hours now waiting for someone to answer a question.

This company lacks leadership at every single level

I've worked at three major oil and gas companies that have all been through layoffs countless re-orgs and each had a general sense of uncertainty towards the future as the markets fluctuated. XOM was by far the worst at managing those factors. I have... — read more 

Management needs to be held accountable

It seems lately like Exxon is a blind company that has no direction. The management only cares about one thing: themselves. For as long as their wallets keep getting filled, who gives a damn about the rest. Even if the company keeps failing. Why is... — read more

Oil coming back

I suspect that when XOM posts some solid earnings for 2-4 quarters in 2021, they will bring the 7% match back. They won't bring it back before they're done laying off, for obvious reasons. It will come back as a morale boost to surviving employees... — read more
