It looks like some folks thought this was legit advice. Well done you troll!
Print all of your past performance assessment summaries from previous years. Not just your PDS write-up, but a complete summary of the ranking outcome signed off by your N and N+1. You can find it in CC. Print or digitally send all of your pay statements and benefits documents for record. These are documents that you are entitled to have in your possession and are a pain to obtain once you leave. Assume you will lose printing privileges the moment you put in your resignation. While it is not advisable to take any work products with you, you can take the time to read up on some of your past projects and accomplishments, and use a more general version of them to refresh your CV - even if you have a job lined up.
@at any work products you make are property of the company, so don’t do that unless you’re sanitizing everything first and even then it’s sketchy.
@at This would be terrible advice if IT actually checked for it on a consistent basis.
@at Marked as security incident, volitation of confidentiality agreements, blah, blah...It can trigger legal exposure
@at so many people do that, needless to say, they are no longer with the company

You forgot something. Make sure to email copies of any relevant work products that you were involved with to your personal email address. That way you can pick right up on that stuff for any new employer or perhaps be a reference for questions from your former XOM coworkers.
One last email to DW, telling him what a great job he is doing and how everyone loves working for EM. But there is life beyond EM, pays better, no stupid ranking and no dealing with DW wannabes. And final sentence, fu-k you very much.
It is ok to get pushed out. You get unemployment and severance. Enjoy the ride, relax and start planning the next move after you leave the company.
Delete everything...All your zoom IMs. All your files (If it's on C drive it's harder for them to have back of them). Delete all your emails.
