PIP the Custodians
How do you decide to clean 3 of the same gender bathrooms in one building at the same time?

DW 20% raise.
Must be nice.
How low can we go?
Any guesses what the "bottom" will be? I'm thinking it'll easily be less than $100 by the end of today (April 4-7-2025) Curious to see how this gets turned around for America. I'm thinking 45-47 is going to get PIP'd!
It's the leadership's fault
The best people here used to give extra effort, but not anymore. Leadership pushed too hard and broke whatever was left. If you want to see why Exxon turned form a great employer into one of the worst ones, just look at its leadership. There's your... — read more

From commoner to exec
So I’m hearing of a person who had enough confidence and sponsor to say they want to be an exec. They were told no. Now what?
What’s going on?
I heard that the company has lost two employees to su----e in the last few months. What is going on?
Now it’s time for acquisitions
The majors will be acquiring companies including drillers, chemical, plastic plants, and power producers. All companies are on sale, it’s a fire sale. Exxon, Chevron, Oxy, BP, Shell, and Saudi will be buying smaller competitors at a discount. Buy... — read more

The Return of the 201K
Hopefully they come to their senses.
Rank Groups
I heard some 2024 rank groups included CL 20-29. Are supervisors and their direct reports assessed in the same group? If so, how does this play out in the ranking meeting?
Emergency room visit shock cost on blue cross vs aetna.
I visited the emergency room in March 2025. I got a bill for $550.00 USD. Last year I went the emergency room under Aetna and I only paid 150.00 copay. The difference is I have to pay coinsurance. I was not expecting such a steep charge. My out of... — read more

BTC Expats in Newfoundland
So many BTC expats in Newfoundland now. How about Calgary? Do you have them there as well? Why can’t we hire Canadians?
How did UK layoff play out?
For those with direct knowledge how was this communicated? I expect the same thing is coming for USA, Canada, and Australia.
South Hook LNG Terminal sale
How long before South Hook is sold like Adriatic LNG? With Qatar no longer valuing ExxonMobil (at their own peril I would add) isn’t it sooner rather than later? Will be interesting to watch Qatar try to operate aging facilities with integrity issues... — read more
Chief of site after 5 years at BTC
How does an employee with five years company and 15 years total experience become an IT chief of site at the BTC? The technical ladder is dead. Being a chief is meaningless now
Does the Babble Effect Exist at ExxonMobil?

130 years in Malaysia - RIP EMEPMI
Thanks to all those involved
Another Senior Vice President
The top layer continues to expand. Why do we have another SVP being named? What is he even over? How do we invent new SVP roles out of thin air? Crazy how these Australians have managed to get promoted so quickly.
DW and DA pump and dump stock strategy
I really believe DW and DA are trying to pump the stock before dumping it and exiting. Every choice they make destroys the future in favor of short lasted near term gains.
Selling beachfront property to DE and DA
Who sold DW and DA on the lie that Permian recovery is going to be doubled? Do they really believe it or are they just trying to pump the stock before they dump it?
The problem with Guyana and Permian
Both Guyana and Permian have increased GOR and WOR problems. Obviously we drilled the best wells first so the economics get worse not better over time. Sadly we have nothing else and DW and DA don’t understand the upstream well enough to do anything... — read more
Special protected Malaysian Expats

They won’t stop until Upstream is unalived
Clearly there is no appreciation at the top for upstream employees or business. No plans beyond Guyana and Permian which won’t last forever. Technical ability has been gutted. It is shocking to see the industry experts we once employed PIPd late in... — read more
