Today is the day where XOM lost an unbelievable amount of talent between our Australia friends moving to Woodside and the remainder of the Brits being made redundant. Sad day for us all and we will suffer the consequences long term. DWW should pay when something happens but hey this Merica so he will left holding his $100M fund and be left to retire happily whilst others pay the price

For the remainder, bleed them dry.
Positioning ourselves well to acquire British Petroleum.
I feel for you but there are a lot of folks could say the same especially since 2020.
@b7 oh now we are counting BTC people as employees. I thought they were "assets". This is horrible a company made here being handed to bunch of incompetents.
BTC 60% Hou 40%
@b1 I think you meant to post that on LinkedIn.
@ab+1 you poor, dumm bustard. Selfish pursuit is the only thing any of us should be chasing, as mirrors what XOM displays towards us.

Today marked a significant milestone as I, along with more than 1,200 colleagues, farewelled ExxonMobil Australia and New Zealand and joined Woodside Energy as they assumed ExxonMobil’s role as operator of the jointly owned Gippsland Basin operations.
My ExxonMobil career spanned 34 years and 15 different roles, located in three countries and working across many more.
I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences I’ve had, the opportunities I’ve been given, and the chance to work alongside so many talented people across the globe. The relationships built over these decades are something I will always value, and I’m fortunate that many colleagues have become lifelong friends.
I wish those staying at ExxonMobil the best, and I look forward to watching your continued success.
I’m excited to part of the Woodside team and look forward to bringing my experience to new challenges and opportunities in this next chapter. Here’s to new beginnings.
Question: What will our SEC 10-K regular employee headcount be at the end of 2026 be?
As our CEO has stated at multiple Investor Day meetings, we will continue to "do more with less?"
Our grassroots assets in Guyana are operated by 3rd party service providers. We will continue to own grassroots capital assets, but they will be operated by non-ExxonMobil employees.

Let’s hope our newly hired experts at KLTC and BTC will help EM meet the Horizon challenge..
My only question I concern myself with each day is:
Have I created enough shareholder value today.
Everything else is just selfish pursuit.
