Any word on the US salary program manager meetings taking place? Are they teaching us how to break the bad news to folks but make it seem like we should just be lucky to have a job?

Since there hasn't been any formal SURVEY (?) feedback opportunity provided to the employees impacted directly by it. Let's all post it here!!! Free form! Get busy folks and share you feelings. I hate it! But is that the goal?

woof…….flustered much? I like ‘ol RH, but man, him and the host were completely flustered when discussing anything pay related. Anyway, if Wells isn’t getting decent raises this EOY, the rest of YOUS GUYS is screwed. In Summary: — read more 

What is the plan for Midland? Almost no development next year as there is no more acreage! Are they going to get rid of people or buy some acreage from someone else?

Why are so many people resigning from the Finance functions? Attrition is >50% in some teams!!! It doesn’t make sense that we’re not acting to keep some of the talent walking out the door everyday!!!!

At one time I approached my manager about the possibility of transferring to another group. That never happened. On the other hand, some here obviously manage very easily to join a group in which they would prefer to work. What are your... — read more

We've seen it all too often: when a manager asks an employee to do their job, they're labeled as "abusive." But when did that become the new normal? Today's workforce is so used to getting coddled and praised for doing the bare minimum that... — read more 

I am leaving and would appreciate the help. I’ll tolerate the sass. I would like the best info on the process of notice, access to benefits pages after separation, and of course how to manage the pension. I also going to sorely miss the vacation... — read more 

Exxon is sitting on over $32G in cash. They aren’t paying the employees more so who is getting bought? Hess Marathon Diamondback Others? What else would they do with all that cash with inflation so high?

My boss obviously favors a person who is nothing but a lazy mediocrity, thus giving the rest of us the impression that our hard work and knowledge are completely unappreciated. I don't have a good answer for this, but lately it's been pushing me... — read more

Yes,they finally get it right and he quits. Proof positive good people and good managers don’t stand a chance. Exxon makes yet another big mistake letting a good one go. I have to wonder if he wasn’t promoted just to give the bad ones a sacrificial... — read more 

By Madeline Lyskawa (November 14, 2022, 7:55 PM EST) -- Environmental groups say a full Fifth Circuit should not reconsider a panel's decision upholding a $14 million penalty against Exxon Mobil for air pollution violations at a Texas refining and... — read more 

If you put forth a lot of effort, your bosses will probably take advantage of you and ask you to assist lazy employees by doing work that is supposedly above their capacity. Doing that will provide you with nothing useful. I should know, I've been... — read more

People often under-estimate EM supervisor's or manager's influence on a project. By taking a active role in the project.... it took twice as long to complete, cost three time more than it was budgeted for, and was four times likelier to fail... — read more 

Wtf is going on with switching paydays. I heard part of a meeting but that's it.

My level of frustration here is still not high enough to accept a smaller paycheck, but I am beginning to understand more and more those who did it and left EM as soon as possible. Health has no price. I wonder what percentage of those who left... — read more

I finally got an offer that was worth accepting. I learned a lot while working at EM, but the benefits just aren't worth it anymore. The pay is low and the leadership is hostile. It was always tough to feel like my contributions were valued by the... — read more 

EM has confusing job titles. To add to the confusion, responsibilities are often vague and don’t line up anything that is needed. What exactly do the following people do? Advisor on on special assignment? Market Development? Business Manager? — read more

Love how there is all kinds of training going on to teach supervisors to change the culture. The problem is the choices being made by executives!

Show a little respect and show us you give a sh-it! Restack us but don't take our personal desk/space from us! It is demoralizing and it is just wrong! No self pity here! Just a strong sense of right and wrong and YOU DW ARE WRONG! Ask me to tell you... — read more

It is evident to me that the current O&G bo-m feels different that any other bo-m in the past. EM is not investing in finding the next big discovery anymore. Instead it is spending its billion of dollars in profits in share buybacks, in paying back... — read more
