I used to enjoy work. Now every day is an exercise in willpower to get out of bed and show up.

This is embarrassing, but I didn’t have any job lined up, so I had to choose PIP while actively searching. I found this website and others experiences... they completed every PIP task and still got terminated. Is it really out of my control?

most teams understaffed, then on top of that MLRP PIP and insulting feedback from those who know nothing about the subject matter every year, depressing campus environment, constant turning employees against eachother all for 1-2 % hikes, what is the... — read more 

Will there be any raises this year? record breaking quarter after wuarter ..and what do employees get? Even Chevron is giving bonuses

Any official layoff news apart from ongoing regional studies?

All or almost all proposed projects at this time coming out if EMTEC are bogus. Please ask questions 3-4 layers deep and they will be exposed. The managers are intentionally covering up bad ideas in the guise of next big opportunity to get their... — read more 

Since I haven’t had a raise in 3 years this will be the first time I don’t donate in almost 20 years. Executives can pick up the slack as their compensation increases are significant every year and outpacing what employees are receiving by a large... — read more 

Helped us realized the amount of underpaying is criminal. Talk about your wages, everybody. You'll be shocked how many of you are getting robbed.

I have been interviewing and it is so refreshing to talk to people who enjoy their job and are excited. You can’t place a dollar amount on the value of being happy.

We care enough to send a generic email about the storm but you better be in the office in person. We are monitoring your badge swipes and WFH activity.

Someone just took a pic with our CEO and posted this... And it got1000+ likes... honestly surprised since I vomit in mouth just on the first paragraph 🤢 Today was one of the highlights of my 27-year career at ExxonMobil Baton Rouge. I had the... — read more 

Sad to see our UK colleagues and Brussels colleagues going - sending good luck and a fair wind. Exxon is less without you and deserves what is coming.

What is the new operating model? Everyone talks like it is a thing but no one has ever explained it.

Just noticed this as a headline on the Intranet, had to click on it and was expecting some great motivational words of wisdom from DW, but no this was talking about rebooting your computer twice per week.

I just started my "required" Business Practice Review training online, and just barely got through the Darren Woods opening video about ethics. As an employee with decades of time put in, yet soon to be laid off, I nearly threw up in my mouth. What a... — read more 

Any tips on making our daily commute to Tuas more pleasant? I don’t know what to expect

I am thinking I should take a LOA but it might just make things worse.

The company is fundamentally misunderstanding what needs to happen to the structure of the organization - they are busy pushing out people who do things instead of people who manage things. It's the management layers that wont be needed in the future... — read more

Not counting all of the BTC expats in the USA, what is the reduction in US citizen headcount planned for 2027?

So many people in their mid career age are resigning. Add to that the number that have been PIP forced out and we won’t have anyone in their 40 year age left. I guess people have realized the promise of the pension is no longer real. I for one have... — read more 

Finally my RSUs are starting to vest and guess what. They tanked my ranking. This is the game they play. Force you out before your RSUs vest! How can I go from top to bottom so quickly? Convenient for them!

I’ve seen posts for Dev Planning Hiring…Is this to refill the lower buckets? I assume nobody wants to rotate thru from other disciplines. I pity the poor/lucky souls who will be hired…

Forced distribution ranking is such a bad idea. Why does Exxon insist on keeping it? They are willing to follow the advice of consultants on other things why not this? Is it because they know it is corrupt but they benefit from it? Are they afraid... — read more 

Alright, so want to really understand what salary curve differences exist between these groups. How high Geos are vs. Engineers in the Upstream? Looking for CL examples. What about Upstreamers vs. Downstreamers? How high is Upstream? Again give CL... — read more 

Are departures that we are seeing on LinkedIn considered as #Exxodus 3.0? Or just PIP/PIL employee squeeze.

When I started in 2009 my first year salary was just over $100,000 which is equal to about $160,000 now. What are new hires making today?

If you aren’t close to 55 good luck ever reaching retirement.

Assessment themes are total BS. Such a joke and they are so proud of them. I would love to feed the list into AI and see what it says about the fairness and objectivity of it.

Is it a thing here? I work for another corp and recently saw the influx of lab techs with PhDs in Chem/ChemE. I guess that’s why ordinary folks can’t get a job anymore, this and AI / jobs offshoring.

What’s your experience with BTC and KLTC in terms of general competency? If given the choice, which of these colleagues would you want the o collaborate with? I’ve only had experience with BTC, not so great but haven’t had a chance with KLTC.

I’m seeing so many sudden departures this week! And everyone appears to be saying nice things about their experience in Exxonmobil…. Are most of these PILs? If so, I know ppl don’t want to burn bridges, but perhaps consider departing silently, so... — read more 

Every time I bring up an idea my supervisor has someone else work on it and then pretends like it was their idea. How am I ever going to assess well when the feedback is always that you have to do more than your job description?

My supervisor is unbearable for about a week every 28 days. It is like clockwork. Is this some sort of management technique? Why would she be mostly agreeable and then a total monster out of nowhere?

Every time I go to the BTC I get sick. What am I doing wrong? Are there certain foods I need to avoid?

I get it, they will not be promoted. We don’t want them over us. But that doesn't mean they have to leave. Just take the paycheck, be quiet, and don’t ask for a career. That’s not too much to ask. Like promotes like, we only promote what looks like... — read more
