Irving, Texas-Based Exxon Mobil's Top-Tier Executives Average Pay Raise Was an Exceptionally Clean, Very Modest 1.2% Per Year During the Past Ten Years (2009-2018). Business Roundtable CEOs and Their Boards of Directors Might Be Able To Learn Much From Exxon Mobil's Avoidance of Grade Inflation in Evaluating the Performance of Its Top-Tier Executives in the Past Ten Years. On the Other Hand, Exxon Mobil's Top-Tier Executives Average Pay Raise Was a Blistering 35.0% Per Year During the Entire Two Terms of the George Bush/Dick Cheney Presidency (2001-2008)..

From annual compensation information contained in Company Proxy Statement filings with the US SEC, the chart below shows Exxon Mobil's Top-Tier Executives Annual Total Compensation for each of two consecutive full years of employment for the past ten years.

Also from annual compensation information contained in Company Proxy Statement filings with the US SEC, the chart below shows Exxon Mobil's Top-Tier Executives Annual Total Compensation for each of two consecutive full years of employment for the entire two Presidential terms of the George Bush/Dick Cheney Presidency.  
For 2006 and 2005, the numbers disclosed are not prepared on a consistent basis and thus not comparable, therefore I excluded them.

It should be interesting to see how other Texas large Oil& Gas Companies stack up with Exxon Mobil on Top-Tier Executives Pay Raises per year over the long-term.
