Has there been a substantial move to the Neighborhoods yet? I personally don’t know anyone beyond pilot program groups who were already there that have moved to a Neighborhood in 2023. This is making me nervous that previous posters were right, the Company is waiting for a substantial culling in this assessment cycle before moving the remainder.

Company profits at $59 Billion per year and Executives focus on consolidating to the point Hotdesking required and then leasing out the freed up office space.
Executives should focus on discovering new fields and acquiring reserves instead of destroying all confidence and loyalty employees have left.
@2pgp Wrong.
Boomers (who still think it’s 1987) asked for it. The rest of us were doing fine with WFH.
There, FIFY.
@1fpe+1lWBRYRT OK wiseguy...I got your hotdesk set to broil...now SIT!
Just remember the quote from management “you asked for this” lol
@1bqt Thanks, but I didn’t need you to to explain that.
I’ve spent enough time in the third world to know what a violation of human rights actually looks like. Trust me fellas, hot-desking doesn’t fall into this category.
Anyway, what are you all complaining about? Didn’t you want to be back in the office slinging BS around the water cooler? Wish granted.
Yes and it sucks. Forget your ergo equip and larger screens!
Such a shame to see how this once great company has really slid; I had been SO PROUD to work at EM, once upon a time… long, long ago.
The beginning of the end for me, was way back when the EMHC was announced in ~ 2011/2012, I was in Fairfax, and immediately knew it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea. Such an incompetently grotesque lack of foresight and waste of money.
What a ludicrous decision to build that monstrosity of a campus, force people / families from all over the country to move to the he-l hole that is Houston and be a part of this great “collaborative” experiment. The most accurate metaphor is the poor tree, that beautiful old oak that was uprooted and planted in the middle of the campus, that slowly withered and died. What a spectacle!
They tried in vain to save that tree - they pumped in all kinds of money and brought in the best specialists to try and engineer solutions - but the fact is, that tree was rotting from the inside out. And they did it. They ki-led the tree!
Just like they are ki-ling the soul of the workforce (what’s supposed to be the heart beat of the company!), with the asinine annual review cycles and forced rankings, neighborhoods and constant restructuring. You just get out of one and another one starts.
The money being wasted hand over fist is mind boggling. No wonder stocks have been so dismal for years!
Not a violation.
But I like to be productive and the company is hindering being so.
Save a million. Lose a billion.
Tell us all again how hot-desking is a grievous violation of your human rights.
Yes, people here actually said this.
Don't worry about neighborhoods. Enough people will be let go very soon that the few remaining will have plenty of desks to choose from.
The campus is a symbol of the bad decisions that ExxonMobil has made and its not just the current CEO - he didn't build the wasteful campus. The big red zero in the middle of the campus pretty much sums it up and signifies where ExxonMobil is headed.
Uncon is moving into our neighborhood week after next… we’ve been in temp space for March
