Saw this on google the other day. Thought I’d share for the cheerleader that’s constantly on here trying to gaslight and spinning untruths. Google has it figured out.
A performance-based ranking system that pits workers against one another — discouraging employees from challenging managers — as well as accelerated efforts to offshore jobs have been driving departures. By the end of last year, Exxon's attrition rate (18%) was almost double the average of its industry peers.

We are losing our most talented ones to the local Strip Clubs.
When is this madness going to stop because I for one am tired of throwing up a little in my mouth every time I come across another FU--Y!
@2clz There is nothing to misinterpret, and there is nothing at which to arrive.
: @2clz Speaks the truth. Listen to his advice!
@1awl - way to misrepresent my post. Early 40s might not be "young" but it is discouraging to know your career basically ends at that age. Late 40s and early 50s the company treats you poorly unless you are someone's pet. ~ 20 years of experience and the company assigns you to take out the trash. See how it feels when you reach that career stage. No matter how hard you work you are tanked at the bottom. The under 40 crowd should be leaving. Should have left a few years ago.
@ldv If anyone under 45 is young to you then it may be time for you to move on.
Or…you can work up until the day you die. Not what I want for my life but you do you.
@1drg The employer/employee relationship is purely transactional. Always has been.
You sell your time and skills in a free labor market. That time and those skills are valued at a specific price point, and you are paid according to that value. It’s not complicated.
@abf Oh, I think I understand your point! It’s all transactional now so let’s all be cynical a holes. Nobody to see here but us losers.
The only ones with talent left are those that are too close to pension eligibility to leave. And they have all been sidelined and given busy work so that the under 45 crowd can step over them.
What goes around comes around.
I haven't done anything more than mundane office work for years. I've milked 7 figures off the company in that time for being a faceless office droid. #winning
@crl The thread asks if EM is losing talent fast. The answer is that the most talented people had other options and took them.
If you want better opportunities go out and get better skills. I personally wouldn’t be complaining about banking $220,000 per year to do mundane office work, but you do you.
@kgn By your theory, everyone who is not working a specialized marketable skill job is worthless and deserves no career consideration from the company?

“Is Exxonmobil losing talent fast?”
No.
The people with marketable/transferable skills have already left EM and in many cases went to different industries.
The people who are still at EM and complaining about it everyday do not have marketable/transferable skills or any real talent to speak of. They are not employable to the same level anywhere else, and will never leave voluntarily.
