Is there a new HR guidance o fail as many PIP's as possible before year-end 2021? Some supervisors have received instructions to submit more data for those in PIP for review.

I received offer to join Data Science team at Bangalore office. (Offer is good) friend asked me to check review at this site now I am having second thoughts.

A lot of discussion here about the future of the company. Few things are so telling about that as the bloated, serial PIPoffs. The official version that they are meant to help and invigorate employees is ridiculous, as many of those put in NSI wisely... — read more

I used to be told XOM pays the most and that you could get a 6% to 8% raise every year. Is that true? I joined and have not seen that. Also, what’s the typical salary range at Exxon for someone with 6 to 7 years experience? I think I may even be... — read more 

The high attrition is what ExxonMobil senior leaders want. This is part of their plan and they want you to resign and leave. The headcount must shrunk with the EM footprint and importance of our company as we decline. We want to reduce operating... — read more 

It used to be hard to get a job at XOM and for a good reason. When it came to the pay and benefits in the O&G industry, we were the cream of the crop so we could choose the cream of the crop. Now that the pay and benefits have fallen behind most of... — read more

Does the high attrition matter? To workers yes, to the company, probably not. After 38 years at XOM I rode some bo-m and bust cycles. During the busts there would be layoffs and high attrition. With the brain drain and low morale of the overloaded... — read more 

I think both will compete for the worst in Exxon’s history, but who is worse among the two? I would vote for Rex because everything he did was horrible, including selecting the second worst CEO - Darren !

Why are so many people saying XOM is gonna sell of chemicals and F&L facilities? Chemicals is extremely profitable right now. These claims don’t make sense to me, XOM being more diversified compared to other majors has always been a good hedge when... — read more 

Did they seriously try to insinuate that there is no separate advancement path for management vs. technical? I don’t think there’s anyone left who believes that story by now.

Can somebody tell me what's the point of constant reorgs? We've had how many in the past five years? Has any one of them done us any good? Let's be honest, it's just pointless shuffling and reshuffling done to justify the endless reductions in force... — read more 

In my view, if we really wanted to reduce headcount, we should have just done it in one fell swoop. Instead of a 15%, lay off 25% or whatever it takes to get to the ‘target’. By doing this continuous 8% pip, a lot of people are on edge all the time... — read more

I’ve heard in order to make it far in this company (CL 34+) you have to be pegged. Typically this only happens when another high potential leader pegs you. My question is how do I get pegged and does it hurt?
