All of a sudden there is a flurry of LI #Exxodus posts from our South American colleagues. What's happening in our SA offices? Are any organizations and positions within being sold or sent to MSPs or this is simply people being smarter and jumping... — read more 

They add useless layers of management year after year. I swear sometimes it looks to me like a new managerial position keeps popping up like mushrooms out of the ground after a rainy day. Meanwhile, they cut as much as they can on engineering and... — read more 

He is happier than he has been in years. If you are miserable leave. Why do people act like they have no choice in life? Is it laziness?

Asked if Exxon was going to do the right thing and get out of India since they are supporting Putin but the post was deleted.

Yesterday, I posted about missing XTO and today, the post is gone. There was nothing violating any bylaws. What’s wrong with these admins on this site? It’d be nice to get an explanation before deleting this post too.

None of the oil and gas majors are best employers out there, but XOM is a special breed and the worst oil and gas major employer when it comes to people. Heck even XOM HR doesn't have any anything human about its HR practices. XOM is also the most... — read more 

Have too many sls.. Overheard some conversation, dare to say just come to get salary only. OMG! Then tell us how bad we did! Fake human! What they think only their own report card, two years later say bye bye. Leaving sh-t under carpet!

I went up to work at XTO in Dallas for a few years. They had a better culture, fewer processes, and a great attitude towards getting the work done. Now, that they are basically gone and most of their management “disassembled” I’m sad we couldn’t... — read more

Do non-engineers get treated, from a compensation and career progression standpoint, the same as engineers? Curious about Geology, commercial, controllers and research.

It's that time of the year, as an entitled engineer, I walk into the office, pretend I'm looking at type curves, or whatever other ponzi scheme of cost cutting initiatives we engineers come up with, for 10 hours straight, so to hit my manager with... — read more

My wealth nearly doubled lately as I am heavily invested in oil. Enough koolaid drinking. Adios, fellas

Will such high oil prices trigger a Recession?

What's your prediction? Where will prices go and when?

I'm quitting soon. What should I expect once I give my 2 week notice? Is there checklist? Who do I need to contact to make sure I get my unused vacation paid out, lump sum, etc.? Thank you in advance

I left Exxon in 2019 I am thinking of applying again? Anyone re-joined company and how was their experience.

Good luck at the pump ⛽! With my 24-Month, 7 cents per KW fixed contract, I still cruise around town for about $38 bucks a month. Good luck 🤞

WTI hit $130/bbl for a brief period today. I think the mass XOM exodus will start soon, very soon. This time it will be the middle of the pack, general population - those who have just kept their heads low and mouths shut all this time. “$9B cost... — read more
