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.

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

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
Is KO feedback 360degree feedback or game of popularity only
I had always been very optimistic about seeking all rounded KO feedback. So never really pretended to just ask for good feedback or those who would carry my ba--s kind. Last year - I asked a DH from Maintenance (she wasn’t a DH that point yet)... — read more
How your career can be over in 3mins

Braindead Engineers

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

Long story short, a family member of mine was the victim of a malicious cyberattack, which sought to discredit her and cause her reputational harm. I tracked the IP back to Exxon's Houston campus. I've tried multiple avenues of contact, but keep... — read more
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

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
