When was the last round?

I know I'm not safe from it based on last year when two of our best were PIPed. If it happened to me, I'd make sure to behave like those who are really deserving of being PIPed from that point on and spend most of my time looking for a new job, not... — read more

Is it time to unionize? Obviously not go with a crummy USW, etc. but any other unions avail for non manufacturing jobs? Time to level the playing field.

Just read the following today at a library and thought it is so true and applies well, and a glue to the great ExxonMobil culture that binds the arrogance in the slogan "We Are ExxonMobil" "If you have to hurt other people in order to feel powerful... — 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 

Wow. Beyond comprehension. Custom built executive suite while forcing Hotdesking on loyal employees not even close to sacrifice.

I did and I said eff this place! I’m going to wait the max time to tell them I’m taking the PIL, until that time, I’m doing nothing. Already have several jobs lined up, a few offers already and more interviews. The job market is hot right now. F... — read more 

I’m a recent hire and was hoping to get clarity on how long is typical to stay at a given CL. Assuming new hires come in at 23, and most people won’t make executive (30), that leaves 6 promotions over a career. From what I’ve seen early promotions... — read more 

What percentage of managers end up in the NI or NSI categories? Serious question, not whining. Is that data published?

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

Over heard it was discussed during the business planning process. No pension for new hires, will stop contributing current pension with option to let it sit or roll over to 401k

Total comp? Just curious. Dont reveal things that can be traced back to you.

What is the amount of US workforce that will be purged this year? Not NSI target, but the amount of NSI that must be purged? It is getting hard to get work done with all of the reduction in headcount since 2020.

How do you identify a HiPo? What’s the criteria to be a HiPo?

Well, it’s been 3 years since the great PIP’ing of 2020/involuntary program of 2021 (SPOSA) and it’s seems like things haven’t changed. Hardworking high performing individuals are getting blindsided with PIP’s after years of loyalty and putting the... — read more 

Picking up from another thread. Of those PIP/PIL’d this year, how many don’t have kids, or have kids that are already on their own? I’m seeing a trend in my neck of the woods that supervisors are PIP/PIL’ing these people because they’ll have less... — read more 

I wonder how many people got pip in BMRF. I think Xom will let go 10% of their American workforce in a refinery, and these positions will be filled by less salary people from Tech Centers. Please post if your forced for pip/Pil in bmrf

i hace recently joined EM, and was wondering if raises are given every year? For inflation and based on PA? or how do they work, should I expect yearly raises to beat inflation, even though I'm still in the same cl level?
