Just go ahead and leave, the pension is a fever dream that only the old folks will benefit from.
I left and got a 30% raise and made back all the lost opportunity within the year. Not to mention I can actually talk to the people at work without the awkwardness because we both know that we need each other to fail to get that VG 4% raise.
@fg yes far superior, bonuses, flexible schedule and no bizarre ranking process.
TBH most of the Exxon people I have met at conferences are generally very arrogant.
Good luck to you all, looks like you will need it with your annual contract renewal
@OP Thank the Lord you left the company. 🤣
@ff
What do you mean by "you Exxon people"? Are you saying that you or your company is superior? How so, are you better than the best? Beyond petroleum?
@fe I’m from another O&G major, I like posting on here to get you Exxon people all angry and upset
Glad I don’t work with you people
@f5
Do you have an approximate guess of the timeframe around the shift? Linked to company events/decisions... competitors events/decisions... (yes, they lurk here...sometimes I wonder who's real and who's a troll...)
@f5 the poisonous comments here reflect the poisonous work culture
@eq This whole board has gone to the dark side. Used to be a place to share information now has become a breeding ground for bitterness, resentment, and generational hostility. The well is poisoned.
@at do I detect a little sarcasm here?
Wow they sure hacked the negative comments right off of this thread
@OP thank you so much for coming back and letting us know how you’re doing
We’re all so happy for you
The career opportunities that were there for folks who started in the 90's or 2000's are non-existent now. DW is betting the company on offshoring to India and outsourcing, so career opportunities outside of that will continue to shrink.
