I’ve heard rumors of a mid year cost of living raise. Has anyone received one?

For the biggest savings with the smallest effort, with zero risk due to current job holders being completely ignorant of the oil industry, EM should PIP the Executive Board members that pay each other millions of dollars per month. If Indian workers... — read more 

Some corporate cultures exacerbate employee anxiety to an unhealthy degree. Supervisors pray on workers who are overachievers, driving them to work unhealthy hours but it’s never enough. Then there is the unhealthy cut-throat culture to out-rank your... — read more

Yikes ... Is someone in IT or E&PS getting NSI for this?

I can’t stand corporate speak. Hey, we’re engineers. Most of us don’t give a cr-p about some flowery phrases or ridiculous motivational speeches, but exact measurements. You know, engineering? Middle mgmt is too fat. I wouldn’t mind it if it actually... — read more 

I left XOM in late 2023 after about 10 years. When will the company send out the pension payment info? I thought it's 6 months after separation. But I haven't heard anything yet

While it might not help we should all write our representatives (us senate and us house) about the outsourcing of US jobs. There needs to be regulation to protect jobs here. This has to stop and its also a security issue since India is not really our... — read more 

HR has kicked off a study with EMTEC, GP, and the Business lines to maintain a 10,000 person center in Bangalore. What a coincidence, we used to plan on a 10,000 person center in Spring, TX! Target date is 2030. For any young engineer at the... — read more

Anyone noticed that they seem to be handing out NSI/NI outcomes on the basis of some BS vague “behaviors”. Also it seems that supervisors are still hosting pre-assessment meetings and deciding who to drop before the official one with HR.

Although the EMHC overlords do NOT want us working from home on Mondays (or at all, really), I say "sc--w your dashboard!" With Tropical Storm Beryl headed toward Texas, I have NO plans to leave the house.

The wannabe HiPos and supervisors constantly spouting nonsense. Do they have some playbook of catch phrases? There is constant contradiction of what is said and what is done. What are some crazy things that you heard? I’ll start… It’s not... — read more

Qatar contracts come to an end over the next five years, Malaysia / Indonesia / Nigeria are on the chopping block; All we will have left by 2030 will be Permian, Guyana,Canada and PNG.

I had a supervisor that made my life he-l because I was a minority. The supervisor thought that minorities were inferior and would often vocalize it. Has anyone had a similar experience? Curious if this is common or an isolated experience.

I predict, they are packaging up Product Solutions nice and pretty. And they will sell it. They will keep upstream, carbon capture (because it makes them look good) and Litium. The rest goes bye bye. Keeping the profits high is their main goal... — read more 

I'd not see a way for morale and loyalty that previously existed to ever return. They always talk about reputation and how quickly it can be destroyed in the business ethics training. Clearly that is a true principle.

We could have a monkey leading us. The biggest determining factor in how profitable we are is what is the price of oil. Executives take credit for prices when it results in profit and blame prices when there is low or no profit. What a joke.

Clearly executives are just following whatever the consultants tell them to do as all companies right now are cost cutting and offshoring jobs. Why are they paid so much or even needed if the consultants are telling them what to do?

Seems to be a significantly reduction in the number of expats roles around the world. It’s going definitely hurt where I work; anyone else seeing this
