What do Data Scientists do at Exxon?
I see job openings, what's this???
If management is clueless they have only themselves to blame...
Inevitable result of rewarding those who only say yes and tell management what they want to hear while punishing those who don’t as not team players. Same thing has been going on for years on project cost estimates. Here is the answer for cost of... — read more
Women’s Day
Amazing the lack of celebration on women’s day. Not I I want anything but made me embarrassed to see on line there is an article about leaders...what about women’s that work to this company but it’s not a leader?? Probably 99% of the women’s at this... — read more
There is an entitlement problem
There is absolutely an entitlement problem at Exxon but it's not really at the employee level. Corporate profitability was taken for granted for so long that many questionable practices and cultures sprung up in downstream/chemicals/support. Now... — read more
Spill the beans. How are we going to double earnings?!
Earth to supervisors, managers, execs. The company is in a nose dive. Attrition levels exceeding expectations.. uh oh! What’s the plan? Just hoping things improve? Hoping employee unrest naturally settles out? Seriously, what to do? Because I’m... — read more
Attrition Stand-down and Focus Groups?
I'm a SLS at a manufacturing site. We have had so many quit since January that management called for an "attrition stand-down" and we were asked to engage small focus groups to understand the morale problems... Really?!?!? I don't need a focus... — read more
Can we boycott returning to the office?
I personally think it’s way too soon to go back to the office in Texas. I personally am high risk and the fact that they would do this after the mask mandate being lifted is disgusting to me. Is there anyway we can boycott or change this? People... — read more
My Reasons to Quit – What are Yours?
For the ‘Best of the Best’ hired from top programs, this is no longer a company to plan a career with. If you are stuck with 20/30+ years under your belt, then maybe I can see why to try your luck to survive a few more years. But, for the top talent... — read more
Next: permanently lower pay and benefits?
After a large number of eliminated jobs, it would come as no surprise to me that their plan to make more savings means that survivors get permanently lower pay and benefits. Someone warned that this is very certain and I share their opinion. I hope... — read more
2 weeks notice
For those resigning... did y’all put 2 weeks in? Does Corp want you to work 2 weeks to facilitate handover, or did they make you turn in badge/computer immediately?
Pension Payout?
Has anyone got a pension lump sum payout after voluntarily quitting that is not tied to a PIP or involuntary layoff?
Can we change?
Let's face it, the days of fossil fuels are numbered. The end won't happen this or next year, but it's inevitable. I firmly believe that companies that have accepted that and that start to adjust right now and shift their focus will be okay in the... — read more
Living in the past
My manager at EM always told us that we're so fortunate enough to be employed by EM because EM employees represent the 10% wealthiest in the world. We're entitled. Such an arrogance and truth be told, that's a lie. Total compensation at other... — read more
Data dreams
What is ghff ex deal with so many people thinking they can take a boot camp or could of classes anc suddenly be a data scientist? Seems to be the thing for ex-Exxon people to do. Is it working out?
Why did they stop doing exit interviews?
I resigned from the clinton site in January. Emailed the HR manager and all three HR contacts, requested an exit interview, and eventually got an exit survey, which I filled out honestly. Emailed HR contact a few times, both before and after... — read more
What is your ideal work culture?
For me, decentralized command where individuals are empowered and and back stabbing is shut down when people go to management to gossip. A “deal with the person directly rather than come through your boss” style of unity is best form my experience. — read more
Sharing parting thoughts
I left with the "V" (voluntary) retirement of the (sadistically named) "VIP" program, having already found my next job. No one bothers with an exit interview anymore, it's a survey so that they can work up the data, but there is a free-form space to... — read more
Return to campus
Note went out to HAF supervisors: they are now required to ensure employees in open workspaces come to the campus two or three days a week. My question: in a year when we’ve had friends fired, lost benefits, and taken on more work to cover WF... — read more
Just applied
Currently employed top bucket ranked. Just applied to another job. Time for bed. I’m working hard to become a regrettable loss. Who is with me! Tomorrow will be a better day.
Job Offer Advice
I am still an employee but am considering job offers. I am working on a spreadsheet and was curious what others included in their spreadsheets to compare offers. I am just doing various scenarios to retirement. Pension is hardest thing for me to... — read more
No longer investing in the workforce
Sad to see the company no longer investing in employee training. No more education reimbursement. No more classes except CBT.
Bad vibes
Anyone else feeling strange vibes in their team and in person at the office? Low morale, very little laughter, no small talk and water cooler chats, etc. Feels like everyone is overloaded with work because they’ve had to take on another persons... — read more
Vacation Rule Changes
What could be the thinking behind the recent vacation rule changes? No more continuous carryover and only 10 days carryover allowed. What does this buy the company? Are they trying to keep people from building up a buffer that makes it easier for... — read more
More North America Layoffs Planned
Listen to today’s investor meeting closely. In an ominous sign for Exxon’s employees, Swiger said there may be a “much larger amount of structural savings” on top of the thousands of jobs already eliminated. Woods chimed in that he was “confident... — read more

Mandatory Return to Campus
How long until this directive gets pushed upon the workforce from the higher-ups (sitting in Dallas and in their offices on campus)? I’m assuming tardiness, lack of badge swipes, and remote working will be factored into ranking and performance... — read more
Did or Does anyone ever survive PIP?
Please, details of any actual PIP experience you survived, or that you directly know about someone else surviving PIP in the first person. Are the requirements to survive PIP always stacked too high to achieve? Please avoid hearsay. Thank you.
Singapore Study
300 EMPTs, Non MPTs not affected. About 7%. F&L 110. Any more info on this commercial ops organisation that they are speaking of?
Rate of employee attrition
Is exponentially growing and accelerating across many orgs at EM! Good job smart ones! Good job.
Notice/Contract
Hesitant to ask this from HR but where you can find the work contract (for full-time employers) on the intranet? How many days in advance notice of leave is required (USA)?
This made me laugh

Will layoffs spill over to us?
How certain can we be that tomorrow's layoffs will not affect anybody in the US? Call me paranoid, but Exxon has been really trigger happy lately when it comes to layoffs and I'm worried something might be coming our way as well. I'm not trying to... — read more
Is too much experience a bad thing?
I interviewed at another company last week. I thought it went well. But at the end of the interview I was told that I was “overqualified” for the position that was listed. I found that to be strange and I just need to know if that’s really a thing. I... — read more

New Board Members - more Job cuts
