My last company had layoffs every April. I was there for four years and each year it was the same thing. Does XOM have something similar? I've been here for seven months and haven't heard of any layoffs so far, so I'm thinking we might be due a... — read more 

It’s really disingenuous of the company to continue the layoff of existing employees through PIP, while advertising LCS hiring on LinkedIn. Building false impression in media about the state of company. Anyone looking will see the most hiring... — read more

What are we going to do with them?

Dirty politics, toxicity, talking behind people's backs, sweet talks, fake facades that is what is left of Intermediates now. I feel stuck, just wish i could get out of this constant mental torture of a place. Leaders make the place and if the... — read more

Genuine question as I’ve worked upstream my whole career. URC is gutted. EMRE still exists? Is there equipment in Clinton that we use and can’t move?

why is this not a priority?

The corruption and fraud in the Carlsbad office has gotten so bad I don’t see how anything short of a complete change of all personnel can fix it. Someone has to figure out how those guys are making so much money. Kickbacks anyone?
