@3tdw+1e2QTElU I left this autumn but basically since last December I had a few offers (went to interviewing the second they announced the freeze) but the minimum increment was 55% extra. There is nothing special about me only compared to your average EMIT mo--ns, so as far as I see intelligent people are very much underpayed in BUD and there are so much fat to cut that it insane while they are already short on actual working people.
I recall going to Budapest for a workshop many years ago. I was surprised that they did not know XOM was an oil and gas company. They really thought it was a Mobile Phone company. Plus XOM does not sell any gas their. Nice people and beautiful country.
@znb+1e2QTElU Hungary got double digit increases this year (not sure how far behind they were)
Maybe we should make a compilation of the employees who posted selfie in front of the new building and see where they will be in 5 years...hopefully the same employees will not post same pictures in front of the building when they leave the company :p
it's just a new building, they are moving.
Thats like every corporate America. Glad to see you taking a break from all the kool aid drinking and finally seeing the company for what it is
@nbk+1e2QTElU on point. Also Exxon pays really sh---y wages in Hungary, I would really like to be a fly on the wall in that office but unfortunately I am not in that country anymore 😢
Hungary is a right-leaning, third-world dictatorship, so it’s only natural that EM would build a major office there. They’re not the first O&G company to do so, and they won’t be the last.
I think they will not have problem to find people at the beginning with lots of hiring promo currently ongoing...the future problem that they will face in the future will be the ongoing attrition....some companies really like to have attrition so that they can replace them with junior workers with less cost...
Is that building a new build for EM? It's not been occupied by EM before and so does represent new seat in Hungary?
Good luck finding people to fill that place. A nice new office with nobody will just be like Greenspoint mall.
Garbage
Meanwhile, I’ll be starting a pure remote job with improvements all around (minus pension) in January and leaving this sh-t ho-e city (Houston) for actual topography, seasons, and sights other than endless strip malls and roads with no sidewalks. They can have their new office building, I’m sure it’ll be as “awesome” as the sterile, lifeless, depressing Spring campus.
Good for Hungarian employees...nice office building...it will be the next EMEA HQ...bye2 Brussels...
