Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

So you are unhappy? What are YOU going to do about it?

What are you going to do about it? Drop the victim attitude. DO SOMETHING! BE SOMEONE! IMPROVE YOURSELF! So much self loathing evident on this site. If you don't like your situation don't sit around crying and complaining. MAN UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

If you are out of shape, exercise.
If you are single, go ask a woman out on a date.
If you have no purpose in life, go find a church.
If you are ungrateful, volunteer more.
If you are underpaid, improve your skills and start applying for a different job.

Saying you have "golden handcuffs" is just admitting that you have done the math and what ExxonMobil is offering can't be beat by any other jobs you are qualified to do.

  • It isn't your manager's fault
  • It isn't HR's fault
  • It isn't the research company's fault
  • It isn't the BTC's fault
  • It isn't the woke corporate program's fault

Look in the mirror. When was the last time YOU DID SOMETHING to improve your situation?

@2kou, Only routine flaring has been advertised as stopped.

@3drn+1lEFptWE, paraphrasing is a good tool that the company, the one that you defend even giving your moral down, like to use in the media, what they did at Permian referring to flaring. Just and advice, do not think that using huge knee pads will save you from PIP.

@3exq It’s always fun when people who start toxic threads reply to and upvote their own posts.

My point also stands: your understanding of the human condition is incomplete and preaching is best done in church or other religious settings.

Point of OP stands. Drop the victim mentality and go do something with your life if you aren’t happy. You are responsible for the choices you make. You alone and no one else.

@2kou+1lEFptWE Routine flaring stopped. Nothing else has ever been communicated. If you don’t know the difference between routine and safety flaring maybe you should get out of the office more often. You are completely wrong on this one.

@OP I think you have an incomplete understanding of what it means to be happy and of the human condition in general.

Save the sermons for the pulpit please.

@1cdp+1lEFptWE, You need to read and re-learn the difference about/between ethics and legality, again. To show a Newspaper Headline or appear on TV showing or expressing that Flaring at Permian is over, and later trying to clarify that is not exactly flaring is not going to stop. You sound like a person who live for a while in Downunder and then the person was assigned to Permian bringing and wearing a huge kneepads, or the new Manager of GH.

FYI, St. James located on Rankin Road is fondly referred to as the "Church."

@OP, I would rather go to the aforementioned Church and Do Someone, rather than follow your thoughts and "Be Someone."

@1cdp+1lEFptWE Do you understand the definition the World Bank established for routine flaring? Look it up. Company is very clear about what it is doing.

Yes, I am unhappy, and this what I am going to do. I am coming here to remind all the people about all the lies that EM is spreading. Using cr@p tactics called NSI, PIP and NSI to fire people, oh I am sorry it is not layoff! A company that does not like old people, but the Board are old people. The new one, stopping flaring at Permian, Oh I am sorry we are going to flare, but not like before.

OP, if people really took your advice, several business lines within ExxonMobil would shutdown overnight.

We are all very luckily there is an ‘energy-hurdle’ required to job-hunting.

Where is "church"? I've never heard of that strip club, but it sounds good.
