I’ve heard from about a dozen people in my network, different functions, CLs, YE, all in the Upstream and ALL TECHNICAL. Have you become aware of anyone in leadership position held accountable? Any supervisor, manager in PIP?? Are they all top... — read more 

I was considering leaving Exxon but not without having a new job lined up, of course. Sadly, it seems most of the companies in our field have the exact same problems as we do, so it doesn't seem like much f an improvement even when there is an... — read more 

Is the company match in effect till the last paycheck of the severance? This is for over employees with over three years in service.

Somethings fishy.............................. Does anyone other than myself find it "fishy" that EM has suddenly changed a ranking system that has been in place for years. Sounds like they're setting up a LAYOFF without actually calling it what it... — read more 

Just curious. Will we see any other reductions in staff this year after the 8% that is PIP’d are gone? Or will the next round just be the bottom of next years rankings?

I am over 40 and have not seen my PIP. Has anyone here seen theirs? If yes, was it before or after you accepted it?

Currently an intern and have been trying to keep up with the topics here and I can help but to feel anxious about a career with XOM. From experience, have new hires/full time offers been impacted during times like these?

Remember when excelling at your job meant you were going places at Exxon? When great work and going the extra mile were rewarded? Not anymore. Now mediocrity is not only tolerated, it's celebrated and rewarded??? While the best employees are... — read more 

I am not PIP'ed but I can see XOM is going down the path like Enron. If XOM wants to cut costs, they need to streamline its management hierarchy. Most SLS's have zero technical skills. Their jobs are to have endless 1:1 meetings and lower team's... — read more 

This is like the third reorganization and third strategy in three years. Seems like a floundering giant.

If this corporation has been holding 8% of its work force “out of charity” for the last few years and then all of a sudden spits out a large population of Houston based senior employees based on “performance issues”, they are going to see it for... — read more

I know this post will probably be unpopular but let’s make a few things extremely clear.... First, this “Performance Based Reduction” IS a lay-off. The performance described in the majority of the feedback was suggested by HR to be “Communication... — read more 

If you service less than 3 years, does Exxonmobil prorate the 7% contribution or they whole contribute to you in the past? how does that work?

Most people PIP'd deserved it. Most received a needs improvement message for several years in a row. Plus were not eligible for pay raise or promotion. They should have left voluntarily. This year with 8% instead of 3% in PIP. They have no chance of... — read more 

If you’ve been PIPed after years of being in the middle and/or upper third, what are the reasons stated for your PIP?

Anyone in Baytown here that has been given the “option” yet? What happens to our un-used vacation? I see that LPS and GRS were great investments lately (sarcasm)

What options do you take? Do they terminate you or ask for your resignation?

Hey, whoever gets put in PIP for no valid reasons or chooses to leave, why not all get together to get your voice into the pubic?
