Think Darren is bad? Imagine the damage Dan could do
Brazil Research Center Pure Cost Center
What is the deal with the Brazil research center? 100% cost sink. Can anyone name a single thing of value coming out of that place? What are we getting for the money we are spending there?
What’s with all the Indian Expats in the US?
Why are there so many Indian expats in Houston? I’ve seen the financials and they are just as expensive as Americans when you expat them to Houston. What is the strategy here?
Australia cuts
How long before the lights are turned off in Australia? Decommissioning work won’t last forever. Nothing left for these Australians. How long before those on the expat circuit are called home and fired?
Houston Campus Transformation
Well, here’s some good news: looks like the Houston campus isn’t a high-cost center anymore... we’ve officially become a 'lost cow' center! With cows now on the team, we no longer need outsourcing, we’ve got lots of Moo-tivation! — read more
Are we in a managed decline?
Exxon used to be a powerhouse—loud, political, and unapologetically Republican. Prior to 2016, they spammed us with emails daily, pushing us to vote red. Now? Crickets. No talk about Trump, no mention of Elon, just this weird retreat into things like... — read more

Where’d it go?
What happened to the text re: offshoring? Was it deleted because of a copyright issue since the whole article was posted? There’s no rhyme or reason I can see why somethings stay and others are pulled. Anyone understand it?
Dan vs meritocracy
Dan continues to bring in his buddies from the auto industry. How can anyone say with a straight face that there is a meritocracy when such a clear good old boys network exists?
Upstream being ki-led off
Our downstream-heavy senior leadership has no clue that the upstream is about to fall off a cliff within 5 years. The damage caused by offshoring won’t be fully felt for a few years yet, and by then it will be too late to recover.
Good company
I like how Exxon takes care of people. Best example is from European refineries, we have some really good people who spent their career helping Exxon succeed. Exxon is taking care of them by having them placed as Expats in other locations (across HR... — read more

PIP for Supervisors
It would be amazing if after the PIPs are decided this year, the Supervisors with the most PIP’d direct reports got PIP’d for providing poor leadership! Also, if any Supervisors found to have PIP’d truly productive employees for personal or... — read more
