My favorite part of the week was seeing HC10 and HC10 attrition as the top two trending searches on the intranet all week. Newsflash MC… it’s not a secret now… everybody knows.
Penny Ante Nonsense. Complete Disrespect.
The vacation policy change to a monthly accrual basis is nonsense and tells all XOM employees how little they respect you. Do not let them fool you by telling you they value you. They do not. They value their stock options and reliable dividend... — read more

Compensation Comparator groups
So we are coming to year end again and we’ll soon hear our measly salary increments. This is how it will work. HR will for: the comparator group. They will pick companies that we don’t compete with and know that we pay more which will form the bottom... — read more
CNBC - Low Carbon Solution Deal

I’m glad the Bloomberg article came out
I have an absolutely clueless and horrible supervisor who cannot understand why so many people are leaving the company. She goes on & on about it in meetings while clutching her pearls. “I have never had a bad review. You just have to be a hard... — read more
Rose colored glasses
Have sat in a couple of meetings recently with management and can’t believe how they filter everything to sound so positive. Really disturbing that while Rome is burning they don’t seem to even notice.
Executive blows up at Houston town hall
If you want to be a “hotshot” and triple your pay working for Amazon, then go right ahead. “Good luck to you.” Has this joker been fired? How much reputation damage and business loss has he done because he couldn’t keep his cool. Our system really... — read more

To Do Before Final Day at Exxon - For Our Reference
Comment below with anything missing here. This is the list of things I am doing before my last day at EM (now targeting resigning in Nov-Dec due to vacation policy update). I want to share this here in order to help others. I am not aware of anything... — read more
Bloomberg article
Heard there’s a Bloomberg article about our toxic environment and how our employees have had enough…. Can’t believe it’s taken the press this long.
Salary treatments
Any word on salary treatments?
PIP rates
I don't believe that there are many companies in the industry where PIP exists at higher rates than EM. Or are there?
Execs are mostly focused on cuts
Someone here really made an excellent point. Especially lately, our execs are more focused on headcount than anything else that real leaders should focus on. They focus on cuts rather than on research and making concrete plans for a better future... — read more
Things this site has been right and wrong about
Let’s see the list. Good track record so far
Stop ENABLING Executive Bonuses
Stop. Just stop. Stop working overtime. Stop sacrificing your well being. Stop giving a damn. Stop doing the impossible. Stop doing whatever it takes to hit unrealistic targets. It isn’t worth it. The company won’t care or remember. They won’t start... — read more
Another Exxon Valdez Required?
What will it take to wake up management? I see so many people working crazy hours and sacrificing their health and family relationships for what? Time for us all to quiet quit or just outright quit before more people get hurt or ki---d.
We aren’t even trying anymore
I never thought I’d see such an obvious admission of surrender as I saw today with the change to vacation policy. Has management completely given up and isn’t even trying anymore? Basically admitting there are hordes of people waiting to quit in... — read more
Robust Raises 2.0 + Transitory Inflation
Remember last year when we were told raises would be robust? Remember earlier this year when we were told inflation wasn’t going to happen during an Uncon forum? Remember when in the recent Uncon forum they admitted our compensation isn’t... — read more
Layoffs please
I would welcome layoffs if it would return us to a normal company. The current “strategy” makes zero sense. We are losing all the talent and our best people. This is awful to watch.
Nothing makes sense anymore
We at making record profits and record cuts to employee compensation and benefits. Psychopaths are running this place. What is wrong with our “leadership”? Have they all caught mad cow disease from undercooked steak served in Dallas?
So much talent leaving in US & India
I continue to see our best people resign in both the USA and India and who can blame them! Surely the data Dallas is looking at shows this. Did our CEO and board short our stock? What is going on?
Layoffs incoming
I know it's been a while, but an acquisition is a perfect way to get rid of supposedly "redundant" employees in both companies. The only problem is, usually those who are cut are not redundant but have been on the list to get rid of for a while. Be... — read more
Do people actually still believe attrition is not wanted?
I can’t believe people still believe that EM care and they will put plans in place to stop attrition. HR want people to leave and they continue the NSI / NI at the high teens % and they will give below inflation increases; only O / OPD will get... — read more
National Salary Programs
Expect we are going into a recession so same program as the last few years and claims of EM competitiveness. No data but just claims.
Is EM a multinational company or a US company?
Does EM identifies itself as a US company with global operations or a multinational company ? It does affects the company's strategy towards other countries.
The Denbury “Deal”
Really going to buy a company for a mere 1,300 miles of C02 pipeline? What is the permitting like for “green” carbon capture pipeline construction? Time will tell, but unless the 5B people across the oceans start caring about reduction, reliance or... — read more
Prorating Vacation 2023
Yeah, that going to stop attrition. At this point, it has to be part of an overall plan to reduced US headcount and reduce the cost associated with that attrition.
Spam test email. Salary
Did any else get the spam “test” email regarding HR salary survey? I guess that’s one way to have a 100% pass rate as no one in Xom would believe HR would ever send out that survey. Haha
XOM Execs on LinkedIn
The XOM PR machine is rolling strong. Almost every exec is either posting or liking posts about supporting inclusion or mental health. Let's remember that this is the crew pushing mandatory return to office and erosion of benefits. Newsflash Execs:... — read more
All Permian move to Midland
If company really wants to improve COLLABORATION and reduce headcount they should have all Uncon employees supporting Permian move to Midland or Carlsbad. This would separate the true believers from the masses and improve business results and... — read more

EM expects to post strong results

Industry Salary Study (Employee vs Contract Hat)
There is talk about a salary survey that will be concluded Nov or Dec. The salaries of major oil company long term employees seems a good comparison for EM employees with Sponsors because they have long term job security. For the rest of us, more... — read more
Merger Feed
Went back to look at the feed on the rumored CVX/XOM merger and it’s been deleted. Were a few insightful comments but it’s been removed. Why? Still posted on the CVX site. Maybe a hostile takeover.
Change is inevitable
Exxon is not interested in real change or improvement, only its bottom line. I know many of you support this one hundred percent but you need to realize that renewable energy is the future. If we keep mostly ignoring it, none of us will have our jobs... — read more
