F&L and Chemical consolidation
Is it true? What is the scope? What is the timeline?
Stop Fooling Yourselves
Posts about people leaving their current employer (usually O&G) for a posh job with ideal working conditions and huge pay increases are (at best) unsubstantiated, and can be found on every board on this site. Reality: The people being shown the... — read more

Resigned today
From BTC. Keep your 3 % :D I got inspired from one comment " Leave on your term before company decide for you"
Remember when Exxon used to have the best pay and benefits in the industry?
Every person I know who's leaving was offered more money than they were making here. Every single one of them. We are now among the lower-paying companies in the O&G industry when we were always at the top before. How exactly do they expect to keep... — read more
Consolidation and Reorg
They layoffs have not ended because there will be further consolidation (Fuels/Chemicals) and the whole BMR and TMTS efforts. This will result in rationalization and more off boarding to low cost centers. Additionally US and DS assets will be... — read more
How do I get paid for my unused vacation?
I got my final paycheck after PIL and my vacation was not on it. I’ve emailed payroll several times with no response. They usually don’t respond to me unless my supervisor emails them as well but my supervisor has blocked me. Yes, you read that... — read more
What's up with all the Cube pics on LI?
It looks like a lot of those leaving voluntarily or otherwise are proudly posting Cube pics on their last day. What's up with that? Are people leaving, genuinely posting the pics with proudness, guilt, or they have to depart a perceivably good... — read more
The guy who said there is no inflation
I really hope the guy from management who told uncon in an employee forum that inflation wasn’t real isn’t in charge of our raises this year.
UW Parking Spot $3,600
Yeah buddy! Company wide email that you can still bid on a $3,600 parking space! Cool.

CL Pay Scale
What does it mean that the salary spread within a CL is 70%? Is it that the lower reference is 70% of the upper or that upper minus lower is 70% of the median? Also, what’s the average difference between CL medians? Thanks!
Integrity
Noticed inflated credentials and fabricated titles for a few current and former employees on LInkedIn. Speaks volumes. Integrity is about truth even in challenging times.
Shop early
Don’t forget to shop early for the UIS ugly sweater contest! You too can win valuable prizes AND get a yammer like from management! Terms and PIP conditions apply
One more month until the start of the next wave
One more month till raises are communicated, and the next wave of attrition will begin. Are you guys excited? Funny thing is, the company is still being picky on hiring even though it's no longer as desirable to work in as before.
Attrition numbers in 2021
Hey, if anyone is aware of attrition numbers, don't hesitate to share it, it's not a co---e thing. Let me start: EMIT - MAP Regrettable Attrition: 20%

Almost all of the oil companies will have the same fate, maybe some a little before others. There will also be some consolidation as well. One or two of the brands may survive as a green company too, but eventually it’ll sell all of its oil and gas... — read more
Expats staffed with BTC
Search goto/announcements and you will see a pattern of new projects being staffed with BTC engineers. Better make plans for a career change. Structural savings do not include you.
What roles do people leave for? (EMIT)

This joke we call leadership

Hearing Layoffs of Management, Any Truth?
As most know, XOM is very, very top heavy relative to peers. Been hearing of some work targeting execs and middle level management. Any truth to this? The company is tight in so many places and another 8% of worker level does not seem responsible. — read more

Everything is being discussed but the main reason we're all supposedly here. What's going on with layoffs? Has there been any news or has it been paused for now?
How to find ou your CL?
