Psst…hey newbies, @a2 is correct, you’re never going to get to CL29. These old fools are trolling you. These jobs will be outsourced, or the overpaid slackers currently occupying the positions will just stick around until they die, and the company won’t replace them. $400k salaries + bennies like the US pension plan are why jobs are moving offshore. Potentials are being set much lower. You’ll be lucky to reach 27 if you haven’t been deemed hipo material. Plan accordingly.
Below inflation pay raise means you dropped in RG. Plus it will usually make you ineligible for promotions once you are below 40RG. Drop in performance can get you headed toward bottom 20% within a couple appraisal cycles. So do not train any of the young superstars in your rank group. That is your bosses job to develop them. Not you. Be helpful only when it benefits you. but do not be mean. They are smart enough to figure it out on their own.
Simply tell them you are busy from 7:30 to 5:30...and offer to help between 6:30 and 7:30 and after 5:30. They are usually lazy and will turn you down or figure it out on their own hence your productivity increases because the nuisance questions stop
The pay for a particular CL has three inputs:
Your age (otherwise known as YEE, Year End Experience = Age -18)
Your ranking
Your assigned salary group: A = Upstream, B = Downstream, Chemical, EMIT, C=Staff functions. Side note, I could never get an answer from HR Comp on why the same jobs between A and B required different pay, ie a commercial person in Upstream paid more than an equivalent Commercial person in Chemical).
Salary bands pretty much flatten out for YEE at about age 45, ie you don’t get any credit for another year of experience.
So, a CL28 in a staff function, with the same YEE and ranking as a Chemical person is paid less. My experience is that there is about a 10% spread between the groups. This varies based on market conditions. With layoffs in Hess and Chevron and low oil prices and less drilling, one can expect that the A curve will get a smaller increase next year and the spread will close.
Cl29 here, $400k and not even highest bucket. You guys are too low. Need to factor in YEE as well.
CL28 is significantly higher than the CL29 ceiling quoted.
CL bands are approximately 14% apart.
CL 29 is ~$365k
275k @ CL27
CL 58 and sometimes I get free cookies
What about 26?
- No raise in several years.
@dv. Sorry you missed the true working professional times at Exxon. It was great until 2015. Then things got really bad 2020 up to the present poor situation. We did however earn that money. The deal back then was, "we'll pay you top industry wages and you deal with any family troubles no whining". Big sacrifices made. Rhus generation would never do it. We got our payout, now everything on downhill slide. Good luck
Great share, unfortunately this shows why work is being moved very quickly out of the US. Rates in ROW are massively less, even in remainder of HC10.
28 @$325k feeling I’ve hit the ceiling until attainment of 29
More $ than any of them are worth
Recently retired CL 28 at $320K base
About 3.50
Too much for u and me to ever attain. Stop dreaming.
