Another article out today about EM scientists predicting global warming, but EM hides it and lies about the science.
At what point does working for this company turn into a liability for those jumping ship? Are we there yet? Oh, you work at EM, next resume please....
I fear this is going to happen, and good people will be hurt. Leave while you can if not retirement eligible or near RE?
@OP It’s not the brand. Stop projecting.
It’s the fact that during interviews for high-level engineering positions, EM employees self-identifying as engineers with 10+ years of claimed experience are unable to correctly answer unambiguous technical questions. I’ve also caught out more than one bigot. It’s unbelievable what some people will say during a job interview.
I’ll be happy to give examples if anyone cares to ask.
Another stu_pid article about “Exxon scientists predicting global warming” and another mo_ron who takes this legend seriously. FYI, in the ‘70s there were no computers that could run any half-decent climate model, which is why at that time the “scientific consensus” was that the Earth is entering a new Ice Age. The legend with “Exxon knew” was launched about a decade ago by some “environmental” jer_ks who sued EM and then switched to “shareholder deception” when the courts laughed at them.
What a bunch of BS. If you believe the stupid articles I hope you leave the company ASAP.
Yeah! Noah real, not fake news! Pleas make sure I don’t understand weather v climate, me add to global cooling. Fox has best argument to own libs. Hannity se-y don’t tell nobody
@chd+1kFizu0D you are wanting to blame all weather events on "Climate Change?" We've had weather since day 1. In the time of Noah, they did not blame "Climate Change" for the flood!
Weather is going to happen! Don't be a drone and just follow the couple of new snippets you hear while watching cartoons.
Yeahhhhh!! Me talk global cooling, coz me heard repuglicans say so too! Me hate lib!
Saw a video from 1978 where Global Cooling was the danger within our lifetime.
Yeah, Fox say bathroom not bad and science climate stupid. Me watch Fox and say pronoun lots! America!
I remember when it was global cooling that was going to ki-l us all. Or, how about the population bo-b. Now days it’s all about global warming, pronouns and who can use what bathroom, eeerr! It’s always something.
@iav+1kFizu0D, you're a clown. Go tell what you say to those who lost their homes in giant wildfires in California, those who are suffering from an historical drought in Colorado, Nevada or Arizona, those in NE US who suffered from historical floods due to hurricane Ida at latitudes where such events had never been recorded, etc. etc. To talk only about the USA.
Yes, climate has changed over geological times, No it has never been at such a rapid pace.
Yeah, global warming no real. Global cooling, member December? Duh!
Global warming? Really? We’ve been hearing predictions for years and it’s all turned out to be hogwash. I understand taking care of our environment, but many have taken “climate change” as their religion.
The science says the earths climate has always changed.
So for the comparison to government research: why it needed to be funded so much is to fight against the industry lobbying efforts. That, and they didn’t have the data - the industry did. Despite knowledge of the products’ harm, it continued to deny, deflect, and lobby. Get a brain, bubba.
Left during exxodus. Had highly transferable skills (and a completely different set of morals) and love my new job. The secret is out though, and man, XOM is super weak relative to basically all competitors.
Just amazing that XOM was supposedly able to predict future climate warming just as accurately as billions upon billions of federally funded research lol
If people from a prospective company are putting faith in what the media says, then you may not want to work there anyway.
Troll.

“EM Brand Hurts Job Seekers”
Depends on what you did there and who’s hiring you.
There are plenty of places (ex. right-wing think tanks) that are happy to hire people from places like Exxon who have PR and/or legal backgrounds. Apparently, being the CEO of Exxon somehow qualifies you to lead the US State Department, so may there’s some opportunities there as well.
On the technical side, there isn’t much of a market for the skill set beyond the other super-majors. That’s why technical people who leave end up doing the same job at a similar company for a slight pay bump.
Where the OP is correct is with junior/middle managers. They’re widely seen as enforcers of a toxic status quo, and with companies struggling to retain workers, Exxon “leadership experience” is the last thing anyone needs in their company right now.
It really depends on assignment and discipline. Most parts of EM are highly respected - particularly Engineering roles. Service functions like controllers and EMIT are generally seen as bad if you’ve been there a long time unless you’re in a hot area like data science, HPC, cloud, or analytics (but obviously tons of the actually good folks have already jumped from those areas).
