What makes people still work beyond expectations, help company “break records” while you know the company is not going to reward you, and in fact is only going to benefit the top people?

A manager with whom I recently spoke said it best of EM…smile and die on the inside

You’ve been working too hard. Get some help; eventually you might make sense again.
First sign of a world war, and EM will be nationalized (forever) in an oligarchical way.
That's what they're shouting for and that's what they'll get.
Putainessca sauce is what we're all stirring up.
Glad to pretend like I'm playing a part in that.
I don't care of they don't share earnings with me due to record profits, except through decent compensation escalation. I want them to rebuild trust and begin valuing employees again. Recommit to the promise of a long term career without the threat of a random firing due to an irrational performance evaluation process. The money should be used wisely to position the corporation for long term success, which equals job security. The biggest problem is, they want to do away with their most important assets.
@OP Exxon isn’t breaking records; it’s breaking even.
Without massive public subsidies Exxon and every company like it would collapse under its own weight. They know it too, which is why they’re always in court.
It’s also the perfect business model for boomer men: rant and rave about self-reliance and “bootstrapping” while slopping at the public troth.
I work hard to help support my coworkers, who are good people struggling with the same ‘too much work for everyone’ situation. I also have self-pride to do a good job. For whom I do a ‘good job’ may be another matter…but for right now, it is this company.
Only reason to work harder than expected is to improve your PDS (if you have no sponsor).
Most of time the Sponsored id--t that you report to will take credit for your extra hard work.
The only “records” that this company might break these days are getting a lot of profit when the oil prices are sky-high. It has nothing to do with anybody’s “hard work”, and for good reason. If the CEO’s “hard work” is to simply sign off on consultant decisions that wreck the company and increase his salary, why would anybody in this sinking ship of a company do anything more? Even if some masochist would want to do “hard work” they wouldn’t be able to do it; all meaningful positions are reserved for sycophantic parasites.
Obviously, the OP is some outsider who still imagines EM as some kind of normal company. That ship has sailed.

“recognition that'll be hard for anyone to ignore”.
This is really funny. The only recognition you get at EM is for your sponsors. Idi_ot, manager or both?
I checked out early '21, been milking it ever since. Nobody seems to care I don't care. #winning
To mip. Legacy? Do you really think anyone will remember your name after you're gone? If you want your legacy at work to define you, you should get a life. I have hear that BS line in Annandale. You don't drink the koolaid, you swim in it.
Don’t know what kook-aid bowl you drank out of. Persevere because greatness takes a while to be recognized? That’s a lie.
Personally, I think that the desire to leave a positive legacy is a strong motivator to push on in the absence of a reward. Also, greatness sometimes takes a while to get recognized. Persevere to build a growing mass of recognition that'll be hard for anyone to ignore. Good luck!
You're asking the wrong dude. Certainly not me.
