I will start as I have only 283 days left till retirement minimum. Nine months and two weeks. I have a calendar with the freedom day marked on it. It is sad that I have to long for the day I can leave as the place has become intolerable.

I find that every year and day it is getting harder and harder to go in to exxon. When Covid struck I was able to work from home a lot. Then our boss decreed return to office. When I returned everything was different and the people were different as... — read more 

I will go first I planned to leave at 60 or 61 but fate had a PIP delivered at 58. I elected to voluntarily retire at 58 (not I was forced to leave). It was the best decision of my life and have enjoyed every minute away from the he-l hole I was at... — read more 

When i started i was naive and young. I wanted to stay till at least 60 years and maybe longer. Boy I was wrong because it is getting worse every year. The final straw was the measly 1.25% percent raise the boss told me it was a 2 percent but after... — read more

How interesting that on the same day that Enron declared bankruptcy in 2001 ExxonMobil announced Dan as the new upstream President.

I have to say, for all the moaning and groaning that goes on here, the Open House was a classy event. While crowded (think they’ll pick up some improvements for next year), it was top notch and well done. You can tell a lot of planning and spend went... — read more

What we've seen of the incompetence at the top so far seems now to be nothing compared to what is coming. I can’t even figure out what they want to achieve. Do they know?

Any coincidence in Liam’s public comments a few days back and him being what looks to be forced out.

I have been told that stepouts differentiate so I spent a whole bunch of personal time outside of work to lead a big activity for a VP. And it did absolutely nothing for me. Stepouts only differentiate if it fits the narrative that you are a hipo.

What is happening to our once great industry? The incompetence is out of control. I love our industry but have about had it. The quality of the EPC contractors and suppliers is terrible. I feel like I am living in the movie Idiocracy!
