Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Conflict of interest at XOM?

Are you allowed to have another job and/or own your own company NON-related to XOM/industry? I think you’re “allowed” (just has to be disclosed and approved by management)…but how is that perceived across management? Is anyone doing this and/or know of anyone else?

I've been silently building a real estate empire. No one know and it's none of their business.

@1rlg and @OP As long as you’re not performing a similar role for a direct competitor you can work wherever you want. It’s up to you to navigate how to do this.

Don’t listen to the internet lawyers on here telling you what’s legal and what isn’t. Do your own research and weigh the risk.

I rotated (month on, month off) as an EM engineer (Upstream, Drilling) for years. On days off you were really off, less periodic recertification and training days. Also, travel time to and from the working location was on my time. My work locations were all international. So I ended up with a 30 days on and 26 days off schedule, more or less. During days off, I had an opportunities to work other, non- petroleum jobs from time-to- time. I never asked anyone at EM. I just did it. I considered it a perk, ha!

Most rotators just wanted to be off during days off.

I am now retired

@OP Yes. Check your state’s labor laws for details.

@imo You know not of what you speak.

Yes, if you have pre-approval from LAW, Public and Government Affairs, and your Vice President.
