I keep hearing around the campus that the rate of attrition is too high for senior management liking and they don’t understand why people are leaving. I haven’t seen any efforts to actually retain people though across the board. Anyone hearing the same or examples of what XOM are doing to keep people

lol IT is a pain? I don't know a function that doesn't need IT, and you have no idea how much MSP sh-t your IT colleagues are shielding you from now... one day very soon we are all going to be outsourced, and I'm sure the one thing we won't miss is this group of entitled ungrateful brats called "our business customers"... my ar-e

After the merger, ConocoPhillips gave everyone a 19/30 option. They changed the lunch time basis to 30 minutes, so people still worked 8-5, but the work time was 8.5 hours. Then you get one day per month off, as a flex day. You choose the day.

Whoever the artists are, please write it graffiti style.
Even if not get 9/80, management heads would spin seeing it on the walls everywhere kinda like Kilroy!
