I have seen on Linkedin that EM is hiring experience engineers at Permian. Is this a trap to get their knowledge and then fire them, like they did to their people last year?

Microsoft is on top once again in the Drucker Institute’s annual Management Top 250 ranking. Among the biggest losers this year: AT&T and ExxonM
Great job boss - this is an accurate assessment of our management. No longer even on the top 250 list of best managed companies. Time for a change at the top.
Why are most of the people who work here so bitter?
Just look at the majority of replies (and a good part of posts as well) and you'll know what I mean. Every post gets snide remarks, every replies section turns into a pit of insults. Why? Just because XOM treats you like cr-p and with no respect... — read more
It gets better.

Back to Greenspoint
I heard when the headcount reductions are done in a few years, the Spring campus would be too big and XOM will be moving back to Greenspoint. Is that true?
