Topics regarding layoffs at ExxonMobil Corp.

The new norm

It’s truly amazing how ExxonMobil has degraded over the last 5 or so years. The company has transformed from a talent rich organisation to a shell. The new norm is outsource, move to low cost centres and cut. It looks great on metrics but in reality... — read more 

Why does our Townhall keep getting moved

I’m working for the Australian affiliate and the meeting keeps getting moved - is this because of the sale is moving or because our managers can keep a schedule.

% ranking buckets

Does anyone know the % that is going to be in each of the ranking buckets?

New job offer - can I get NSI'd to get the payout?

Well I'm finally doing it, I'm leaving this place and taking another job. My question is since it's right before the PA cycle, any chance I can work it so I get NSId so I can get the PIL? Anyone who's left had success with that?

Lost capability

I look around and clearly we and the contracting companies we work with are losing capability. The move everything to India craze that has infected the minds of executives across the world will backfire spectacularly i fear

Polaris Wins

How is that huge bloated Polaris team doing these days? So much winning?

Pioneer

Updates on people moving or finally giving in please-go!!

Chevron Recruiting from BTC?

Just heard from a BTC colleague that he quit and went to work at Chevron. Chevron committed to hiring 600 in Bangalore this year. How many have they recruited from EM?

Delta dental card

Anybody ever received the delta dental card? If I lost, can the dentist find my insurance information?

Hollowing out

Used to be proud to work here. Believed in the work, the culture, the people but hat version of Exxon’s long gone. Now it’s just fake deadlines, short handed teams, meetings about meetings, and disconnect management. Most the folks that actually... — read more

Is it just me or is this place stuck in the past?

I get that experience matters, but when half the team shoots down every new idea because "that's not how we do things," how are we supposed to compete? Feels like fresh perspectives get treated as threats instead of opportunities. Maybe it's time to... — read more 

Work-related stress has grown exponentially

I’ve reached the point where I dread Mondays and can’t even relax over the weekend. My team has been hollowed out, there are only a few of us left. We’re doing work that demands precision, where small mistakes can lead to major consequences. But... — read more 

How your career can be over in 3mins

It’s performance assessment time again; your career can be over in 3mins. It’s just absolutely crazy that an entire year of work is boiled down to 3minutes. Thats care for you

Braindead Engineers

I ran into an old friend whose career has stalled out a bit and I was flabbergasted how braindead he presented. I felt so bad for him, he’s miserable but enabled to not remove himself from a bad situation by EM and the pension, etc. It is extremely... — read more 

Dear Planners of XOM....you are not demigods

What is it with Planners in XOM having a chip on their shoulders ? Every fkn planner i talk to seems to think they are doing gods work by "planning"...they genuinely seem to think that without their very important contribution, XOM would fail and we... — read more 

Shareholder letter

Why doesn’t the shareholder letter reminding people to vote their shares have photos of Indian engineers? Why is company still pretending they have blonde haired women doing research in lab coats?

Greed is ruining us

Welcome to the system of greed. Lack of leadership is rampant across the country, in corporate, and in government. Nobody has the spine to do what is correct for the country. The status quo is to do what is easiest while returning the most to their... — read more 

If you use KOs to….

Backstab people, you are the sc-m of the earth. Literally had someone write the exact opposite of what they said they saw and would write. Shame on me I guess. Now I got play it cool while seeing this turdbag every day. Maybe I’ll get theirs next... — read more 

Time Frame CL

What’s the average time frame to move to another CL?

Supervisor at same CL

I heard from someone that if supervisor cannot go into my ranking meeting then he is probably at the same CL as me. Am I sc--wed? I know this guy is very insecure. I am no longer getting any face time with anyone up the chain. All communication... — read more 

Self-promotion

Some self-promote is necessary for career but when overdone, you lose credibility. LinkedIn posts keep popping up of former and current XOM employees who wrote essays about their fabricated accomplishments. Or emphasize the shiny fancy titles of... — read more 

Calgary Jobs

Any jobs in Calgary these days for Americans? I always wanted to have a job there and even looked into emigrating to Canada at one point. Seems like oil sands investment is down to zero so I am guessing they don’t have any expat roles now. Anyone... — read more 

Potential Notice

I was told by my supervisor my potential is 27. Should I be worried about this or can I have an outstanding year and break that image. 1 year new hire out of SEC school.

The writing’s on the wall, get out while you can

If you’re new here, take what you need and go before you get stuck. The longer you stay, the more obvious it becomes that this place doesn’t reward loyalty, just burnout. Plenty of us learned that lesson the hard way. Ask anyone who's been here for a... — read more

KO feedback for BTC

I've been really impressed with the team members ability to take a year to complete an assessment for what used to take 2 months at most. In addition, spending time reviewing and picking apart the massive errors shows how the BTC is competing to... — read more 

Assessment Meeting… How Does It Work?

Does your supervisor just stand up and give their 2 minutes on you and that is it? Do they recommend a certain rank or does the group settle on that? Do others in the room have the ability to chime in if they know the person being discussed? Or do... — read more 

Calgary Upstream Research

Anyone here from Upstream Research in Calgary? What is happening to the employees now that it's being donated to SAIT?

Because we are so good at judging performance
