I don't know if this is true company-wide, but at least in my group the mood and morale are both up. I'm guessing people are feeling emboldened by the good results and are thinking we're no longer in as much danger of PIPs or layoffs. I've been here long enough to know they're very much wrong. Good results never prevented XOM from further cutting costs. I feel bad for them knowing how hard they're going to come crashing to the ground when management's greed comes knocking.

Very limited budget available, expat executives don’t come cheap.
We now say together, again, “Forever Fawley”.
It’ll need to come around a lot more than you think, better hope your morale budget is big.
Maybe we can get some more useless branded goodies too, that might cheer people up, they love to see money spent on cr-p than put in their pockets.
We need more burgers!!!!! And games on the lawn!!!!! 😁😁😁😁
Ffs, how many times does the burger van need to come round to perk you guys up?
FOREVER FAWLEY!
In my sections in the UK the mood is very flat. No enthusiasm and no real engagement. Sense people are just going through the motions. Maybe in the States things are all back to normal for you folks?
Do not worry they are new people. When they feel it , they are going to cry like babies brownosers like they are.
Calm before the storm
Fact. Good timely post. Getting to the $35.00 break even point brings with it numerous additional structural efficiencies as we continue to consolidate toward 50K ftes. I see, hear and feel morale is low in my contacts, and one has to ask themselves; will it improve over time or do we have ourselves a trend here folks?
