Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Greenspoint being demolished

Good riddance. Any interesting stories from folks who worked in Greenspoint over the years?

I was in GP8 throughout the '90s and early 00's and was mugged in the parking garage one day after getting off work - a relatively minor incident compared to some of my other co-workers. Company security was a joke and many of the police were afraid of actually performing their job in the area.

Apparently young people can’t say one sentence without being obnoxious. You have a great future, young a..h..

When we took GP5 over from Anadarko the office finishes were considered too nice for non executives so they remodels and downgraded the interior. That is how much our executives think of you. They will actually pay money to make your office worse. Some things never change.

I got my car keyed in the garage. Fortunately, I rotated 28/28 so I did not spend much time in the GP office. Those were the days when most everyone had an office with real walls. I’m utterly overly delighted to the maximum not to be working for EM now. Retirement is nice. Life is good

@aw We left in 2013. Are you saying everyone else here is not even in high school? Or did you fail both math and history?

I remember being in a group of people on the GP3/GP8 skybridge watching the police chase while a friend that worked in GP6 was giving the play by play over the phone when he went to the parking garage

@bg Yes, this. He climbed up to the roof of the Greenspoint Club and jumped. We all gasped thinking he was a goner because we couldn’t see he only fell one floor.

I remember a police car chase where the criminal drove into the parking garage and then abandoned his car and jumped out of the parking garage breaking his legs and being caught.

Police helicopters were also somewhat common chasing criminals.

I remember watching thieves run from the mall through the GP office buildings and into the apartments in the east side of the GO offices sometimes with cops in pursuit.
