I was told today that during a Zoom meeting someone from upper management mentioned that there will be no more drilling in the Permian and Del/Texas. Has anyone else heard this?

Houston personnel have been treated like another "global business center" over the past couple of years. KM and TG only viewed the staff as high cost and have fine everything possible to remove or reduce them. Now that "Dallas" is also sitting in the... — read more 

How many of you 50+ have seen your rank improve in the last three years? Yes or No

These post are being CENSORED AND DELETED! FREEDOM OF SPEECH! CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT! LAWSUIT?

Add me to the list of folks whose ranking plummeted at age 50. Went from upper 1/3 (old system), outstanding, good, NI (50), NI (51) all as CL28. I turn 52 next year - am I correct that I can ride out any ranking til 55? It’s totally demoralizing and... — read more

Just like the title says, is the pension lump sum, especially for people PIL-ing out, going away? Or is that just a rumor like the pension being rolled into the 401k?

Fighting noble fights makes no sense in this company. Frankly, it's destined for failure given management's conviction to squeeze every penny out of it. At this point, I see more colleagues simply executing on these poor plans. Given the mistreatment... — read more 

My PIP and PIL were rescinded after being placed in NSI, with no severance. I was given a variety of reasons but nothing solid. I fell into that same category - 49 years old, worked for the company 22 years, and no issues. I’ve contacted Gregg... — read more

Is your position already posted on the Exxonmobil careers website??? Read them! See if you are there! There are almost 100 postings for India positions covering jobs here! Does 1+1 =7? Nope and this isn't a coincidence either!

KM is abandoning buildings on campus and growing Bangalore Campus. More and more buildings on Spring Campus will be emptied in next few years. At some point, it makes no sense to occupy only 3 or 4 buildings on such a huge campus. When are we... — read more

If my pension is vested and I now would like to resign without reaching retiree status, will I be able to take out my pension as a lump sum? Thank you for your comments.

While I recognize that the company has to motivate the 30-40 year olds to stay until the pension locks them in - the behaviors I am seeing are ridiculous. Senior technical folks (50+ year olds) with tons of great past assignments/accomplishments are... — read more

XOM loves double speak and word games, so can you help translate for me what "Very Good" (VG) and "Good" (G) ranks mean for the long term? My read is that G is not good, but rather not bad (NSI/NI) and VG is essentially the same thing but with... — read more
