XOM prefers younger employees who are willing to work for half as much (or even less) than somebody who actually knows how to do the job. Yes, they save money on the employee but lose money overall when the rest of us have to put our work on hold to... — read more 

Can someone explain to me the environmental irony of trying to reduce our methane emissions while venting up 100s of plungers daily directly to atmosphere in the Barnett? How is this not a bigger story?

Again questions are not anonymous Why are that afraid to hear what the employees have to say? Then they try to understand what the moral is so bad!

I feel sorry every time I open this forum for the talented yet unhappy ex- colleagues that are on here. I used to respect this company but after I left for my dream job I learned what a “prestigious” company really means. Annnd it’s nothing like XOM... — read more

We spent a career being told that the pension and 401k match make our salary competitive. We didn’t forget. Our salary is no longer competitive. Click is ticking.

Did anyone else catch the 3 billion in savings from restructuring and an additional 3 billion by year-end 2023? Surprised no one is discussing this

Can Exxon pay out severance as installments or is it always a lump sum?

Anyone else notice all the HiPos finishing up their time to punch their card in planning are either being told to stay in planning for another year or being given c-appy jobs? What do you make of this?

It doesn't matter if it was a layoff, firing, or walking away, I'm truly curious how many people landed in a worse position once they found a new job? All the posts I keep reading here are from people who did much better, but it's naive to think - at... — read more
