Will attrition pick up once hotdesking begins?
Has everyone who doesn't want to sit in an ocean of 1X's already left? Or more attrition to come?
BTC Gig
How can I get an assignment at the BTC in India as a US expat? I'd make at least 15 times as much as the locals and do the same work as at the Spring campus. Living the dream! What are the selection criteria?
Even the most bearish oil predictions (IEA) has global oil demand at nearly 80 million barrels per day 25 years from now.

All good now?
So, All you greedy Exxon people, tell me: Did the 9% pay raise (on average) persuade you to stay? No plans for layoffs (haha), only outsourcing everything to the BYC, so enjoy the hot desks while you can find one.
WAEM?
What happened to the WAEM survey outcomes? Everything stopped in its tracks as soon as supervisors got assigned actions.
XOM vs CVX Compensation
After talking to a Chevron friend, I'm honestly surprised Chevron comp is actually stronger than XOM. They have 8% saving plan matching plus variable bonus. And they also have defined benefit pension at +1.6% multiplier. And the variable bonus is... — read more

Experience employees treated poorly
It used to be if you worked hard you gradually progressed up the technical ladder to positions of more responsibility and visibility. Now all those positions are being given to less than 10 year employees and the employees with more than 20-30 years... — read more
Awesome New Coffee Machines! Giving credit where due!
To give credit where due, the new coffee machines rolled out at the campus are excellent. Nice to be drinking good, high quality coffee! Definitely a perk. I don’t know if it will soften the blow of moving to neighborhoods, but it is something... — read more
Age Discrimination is alive and well
I understand the company doesn't want to loose younger employees and older ones will take a lot of abuse and not leave because of the pension - but they have de-moralized their most experienced employees by turning the tables and giving the good... — read more
Our slow demise
I been around here a few years and remember the glory days when we were big with great financials and execution. Not so much anymore. And what on earth is Chevron doing? In 2005 they were one third our market cap with a bit over half our... — read more
Townhall next week, announcement?

Anchored Desks as a United Way auction item?
So when are we going to start seeing anchored desks as an item that you can bid on in the United Way auction? Or, better yet, as a “benefit” that you can pay for through payroll deduction?
The rise of nepo-babies at Exxon
Nepotism is part of our company’s history and culture. What is your experience and thoughts on it? Are nepo-babies promoted because they hold a fast track ticket and waved through or is it down to merit and hard work?
This year, I am writing my PDS form...

It's Groundhog Day !!
I predict another 12 months of PIPs
Do you think employees will see any of the $56B profit?
Or will it only go towards executive bonuses?
EMIT LT Moves
Big moves for the EMIT LT today. RB off to be a PM - no respect! And her backfill, KQ, in no way deserves such a plumb assignment. When will the Peter Principle catch up to that hack?! And how much longer do we have to put up with that VP???
Wells Headcount
WELLS has 800-1000 EMPT without fail, year-after-year, count on it. And for what? They two major drilling projects in Guyana and Permian, and smidgens here and there. Explain please.

Attrition
I’m noticing a pretty large uptick in people leaving again on my LinkedIn. Guess that new vacation policy wasn’t much of a bandaid. (Yes I know they are saving money with it)
Where did these managers come from?
New experienced hire here. I’m completely shocked at the incompetence of those in management positions. Where did these clowns come from? I made a giant mistake accepting a position here.

Midpoint CL salary bands?
Anyone have any insights on what’s the midpoint for each CL?
Layoff?
Is it considered layoffs if if is just more jobs being given to India. Has to stop!
US Salary Curves
I understand salary curves max out at about $350k per year. After that if you become an executive your pay is increased with stock. Can anyone confirm?
Google vs ExxonMobil Layoff Notifications
At least ExxonMobil had supervisors tell people they were fired instead of cutting access and sending an email. I’m sure there were a few exceptions but all the tech is better worshipers what do you have to say?
Relevance
Is Global Security still relevant or should it be outsourced?

So short sighted
Is it just my perception or do we have the most short sighted leadership in the industry?
