We've all posted (in cryptic form) some of the corrupt or dufus managers we've come across. What about some of the best managers you've had over the past assignment or two? Any? Any of those who you think could right the ship?

Late last year and early this year, I was actively looking for and interviewing for new jobs, but decided to put things on hold when we learned my wife is pregnant. XOM's insurance is great for prenatal care, and my wife's doctor is incredible. I was... — read more

I’m in a field office so I don’t see the resignations firsthand, only on LinkedIn. How bad is it really back at the main offices and manufacturing sites?

Considering there was a pay freeze in 2021, and EM reporting higher profits now, will we be getting a pay adjustments to account for the pay freeze next year?

I still don't know if I'm NSI. I thought there were deadlines for this, so maybe my petty supervisor saved his best for last. He's closing on a new house, so we'll give him a break. But I am out of here in any case, within a few weeks. All but... — read more

How did you find your next job/career? Does the outplacement support program really work? How robust is it? Or Was your new opportunity a product of networking?

Chem Tech folks, remember back in 2019 the idle threats passed around by management about fully reading the code of conduct? That they would punish anyone who didn’t before signing that they acknowledged it? This still irks me almost two years... — read more

My floor have 2 people that I know with COVID. No one said anything and ii just head from another person. My boss after a week still have not said anything to me. How embarrassing!!! Is this the new process in place???

Is anyone who passed the PIP last year still with the company? Was the assessment results better this year? Wondering if it is even worth trying. The future seems bleak.

Anyone received NCAS (savings) amount after leaving ExxonMobil?

The PIPs are-a-flyin this week in the permian!!! Nice to see some who got the pip. Well deserved. Some, i cant believe they got pipped. Some, i can’t believe they didn’t. What a screwed up company.

I got NI and I’m under 5 years. I have no intention on taking the PIP. I just found out. Should I take PIL today or should I wait until my 7 days are over?

Just saying, it keeps paying back...

I was under the impression that I'd be walked out after giving in my notice. It didn't happen since they expect me to train several people before I leave. This messed up my plans but luckily my new employer understood when I had to push my start date... — read more 

I left XOM in January. What does the Houston campus look and feel like these days? Less crowded? Low morale? Anything else?

It's a shame that the current situation of LDS team is because of the incompetent Supervisors and Managers. They are such a failure and this is the main cause of attrition in this team. Wake up CLO and remove such people .
