Just landed a position with a relatively small company and gave notice. The pay is not as comparable to Exxon, but I’m okay with that. I no longer have to deal with the toxic environment, its id–tic ranking system, rigid bureaucracy and the way... — read more 

How much Exxon is willing to pay some great employees to leave, instead of fighting to keep them here. Just boggles the mind...

The best way to see this is to visit several of our competitors on this forum (there are links near the top of the page for some of them.) It might surprise you how similar the topics are and if you actually read a few of them, you'll see that pretty... — read more 

Interested in learning about our HR policies and it seems we can only do that from the news.

Considering how Exxon treats all of its employees, it's so easy to forget that this is not the norm and that majority of people working here are valuable assets that any company would be happy to have. The moment economy recovers, I guarantee you any... — read more 

We all know most of the people who were put on a PIP were not underperformers - the goal was to get rid of as many people as possible without having to pay them severance. Which makes me wonder, has anybody at Exxon ever managed to survive being put... — read more 

More reports to MOM Singapore! Kudos to all who defend your employee right!

The world now knows our performance is based on who likes who or who makes the supervisors look good. Not based on actual performance. Been at EM in various roles and here is my spill. How do you go from a high performer to needs significant... — read more 

My husband has been working from home since March. I've learned that he basically gets paid by Exxon to be in meetings. Speak in meetings, meet with other people about their last meeting, and have meetings to plan for the next meeting...

I decided to do the PIP hoping for the light at the end of tunnel. It’s clear the focus is on what’s going wrong or things the supervisor doesn’t like rather than the improvement that is happening. Not once have I seen comments about things that have... — read more

Let’s faace it, the PIP was a lay-off, hence the subject line. Has anyone heard of geoscientists getting jobs elsewhere? IT and engineering can bounce to different industries. Geos though, might be more difficult.

Any takers on what ExxonMobil's next business move will be? Will they attempt to diversify from O&G, wait for algae research to bear fruit, or will they simply use this price environment to double down? I hope whatever strategy we pursue allows DW... — read more

How many of you are hoping to see Exxon fail due to recent events and the way it's been treating its employees even if it means losing your job?

Going forward, what are some of the best industries or sectors to look for jobs and career options?
