Tell me I am not hallucinating. I just got a newsletter celebrating the two years mark of We Are ExxonMobil. 3Q21: the Senior Leaders are finalizing their journey, updating their plans and preparing to onboard the next round of leaders. Tell me I am... — read more 

It's the constant boredom I feel at work lately. Always doing the same thing the same old way. Heaven forbid we try to change something, even if it's for the better. Can't have that! That would mean managers would have to learn something new as well... — read more 

I have had enough of the PIP and want to convert to PIL. The MLRP site said this was a possibility after a month. Can it be done sooner? Can you circumvent your manager and go straight to HR?

Was told by my supervisor that despite my over the top technical work, I was deemed to be rank ‘Very Good’ because I’m no ‘visible’ enough in the office and should join more of the Management driven innovation team. Seems to me that technical... — read more 

It is better to die as a human being than live like a purposeless subservient cog in ExxonMobil wheel. EM culture will only lets zombies survive. You got any other opinions/quotes?

Curious, anyone here who actually applied for a US job and actually got hired this year? If yes, how has it been for you? A friend applied for a job at a Houston Campus and the recruitment team nicely replied, thanks but no thanks, although the... — read more 

Is its just commonly accepted now that Legacy XTO employees are being targeted by the PIP?

I've seen like 100 companies mandate the vaccine. It seems like it's only a matter of time until Exxon follow suit.

I believe many managers do know and do care. Some of them are not great people, but many are. The problem is that they have 20 years of training to never stick your neck out. You will not see many managers take any initiative on this, regardless... — read more 

So what happened? Central Plant is flooded out? There goes R&D!

When I joined about five years ago, I didn't feel like I was being treated as a valued asset but I figured that was normal for somebody new. I expected things would change as I gained experience within the company and seniority. I was wrong. Things... — read more 

I was laid off from XOM at the end of April. Per severance terms, I was eligible for company subsidized COBRA for 4 months. I will be switching to spouse’s health insurance at the end of August (4 months). Recently I have received a letter (American... — read more

I am not one to usually post on these sites but after the last rejection email from Xom hr I think I'm done . I was one of those who absolutely enjoyed what I did at Xom and was ranked in the upper ranks.But in Feb of 2021was told to pack my bags and... — read more 

The more time I spend here, the more I realize that the majority of managers I've worked with/for or otherwise observed are just glorified information brokers; collecting information, updates, accomplishments, details, etc. from those they rule over... — read more 

In the past year, five people left our team and two were brought on. The amount of work remains the same, of course. This seems to be the plan behind the latest PIP cuts - slowly reduce the number of people to determine how low you can go and still... — read more

I think mgmt must have overdone it. Now we have a posting for a 5 yr engineer at Baton Rouge. This is so sad and funny at the same time.

For those who quit, how long does health insurance last once you put in the notice? Is coverage through the rest of the month or only through the notice period? So if quit notice is given on September 1 would health insurance last through September... — read more 

Those of you who left other O&G companies to join XOM, any regrets? A guy recently joined my team who left BP because he scored a job here and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that. I don't know him well enough yet to ask what the he-l he... — read more 

Number of employees: Pre Exxon & Mobile merger - Exxon + Mobile 123,000/Dec 1998, reached low 69,600/2017, rebounded 74,900/2019, then, 72,000/YE 2020 (continuing 8-10% PIP in next few years). Do the math. I can imagine the restoration of the good... — read more 

Who knows if management reads these threads or cares but no harm in trying. Share what you think might improve morale, prevent you from finding a new job or keep employees engaged and contributing. One realistic action One dream action One... — read more 

Attrition is intensifying for multiple reasons and while those in charge are happy to see people walk away without having to pay them severance, they're missing the big picture. There's a major difference between the usual attrition and losing the... — read more 

…has lost its way.

Has anyone seen this ridiculous banner in W4? Just embarrassing. There are many reasons why not, but management is too dense and inept to get it.

One thing I never understood is why some groups have so many meetings. We have people in meetings all day everyday. Then they are on all night either in (you guessed it) meetings or I assume doing actual work. What is the obsession with having so... — read more 

It is absolutely shocking to see some top performers got NSI'ed. Is there a secret formula HR uses to NSI employees that even the division managers have no control over? Is there any reason to believe that health insurance claim history may be a... — read more 

Good cafeteria with good food 🥑

I have noticed there are not that many people in EMHC. I understand attrition has been high as of late, but the campus is practically empty. Is everyone just WFH and ignoring the RTO directive? Lol

Corporate mantra has officially been changed from #nobody gets hurt to #everybody gets COVID

EM was never a paragon of justice, but at least it used to treat its employees fairly and reward those who showed initiative and went that extra mile. Now, it seems bent on punishing its oldest and most loyal employees while it rewards those on top... — read more 

I’ve heard lots of negative things about taking assignments in Midland, is there any real feedback from folks who’ve actually worked and lived there? Reason for asking is I’m aware of several openings which sound interesting . We don’t have any... — read more

Anyone... I am in EMIT but we can make this a thread for all groups....

Finally an email about unexpected ted attrition and telling employees they are wAnted and needed. Will it work? After all the antics from this past 18 mo this?

Going to leave shortly and over 55. I plan on using the 401k to bridge until 59.5. Question is how is this done? Are most folks leaving it with Vouya and making annual pulls?

The company keeps claiming that reductions in force are necessary because we have too many employees, yet we have a bunch of managers with only two or three reports max. Somehow, they are never the ones who are laid off or fired. We could safely get... — read more
