Last year, my SLS told me, I was placed in PIP. When I’ve done above and beyond my base R&R but what he did not tell me was, theres a heated discussion during the PA that went into a voting and I got marginalized because people don’t know me. LL... —  read more 

I made a quick check with 10 persons in EM. None of us had received any survey or providing any feedback about the medical claims service. Recently bump into a retiree and he told me that his annuitant medical benefit been removed from EM. Now I... —  read more 

There are definitely less layoffs from the beginning of the year. Hope it stays that way. Any chance that we’re out of the woods regarding the abnormal number of PIP-s? Just hope it stays this way.

Stop being scared all the time! O&G is cyclical, and we are currently in the bo-m period. Once we enter a bust period is when you need to worry, but that's not going to happen any time soon. Have you been following what's been happening in the world?... —  read more 

One has to wonder, if there are so many layoffs right now and if there is so much uncertainty at this time, what will happen when the industry faces lower oil prices. Unfortunately, for those who want to leave at that point it is too late. I am... —  read more 

Not that I liked for that to happen but given the general situation and the atmosphere at the company I figured they will just continue with the dynamic of layoffs from last year. So far it is obvious that that didn’t happen in 2022. Is Singapore... —  read more 

I understand that this is a road most are not willing to take, even if they were laid off in the end. However I can’t stop wondering if there is any way to legally battle this, if you have evidence that a PIP has been unrealistically and wrongly... —  read more 

In my opinion, we are just too heavy too light bottom. This resulted in high cost structure . The last retrenchment , instead of streamlining and getting ride of execs and 28/29 level we got ride of working level of 27 and below. On the surface ... —  read more 

Can anyone share how you feel, if you know that incoming new employee with the same # of experience year, are offered a pay with 10-15% more than yours (post 2021 increment somemore, gosh). Personally i am super frustrated about this as i have been... —  read more 

Let’s admit it. Layer and layer of management have been piled up during the years, and we ended up wit a overblown managerial structure where manners lie and shift blame on the employees. When the cuts come in whatever form, the victims are usually... —  read more 

Maybe not that of an important question for us still employed, given that we are all still in danger, but I imagine we would all be very surprised about the number of people that went (or are still going through) this.

Nearly two months into the new year and still no layoffs. I'm pleasantly surprised.

I just turned 37 years and I am still a suprervisor. I am losing any hope that I will ever be able to make manager, not to mention something bigger than that. I feel I am a failure and that my career is not going anywhere. Is there any hope and do... —  read more 

I believe that would be a much simpler and clearer solution for the employees but for the company as well. Let’s be honest. I don;t think that anyone who has even a little common sense can argue that the general goal of the XOM leadership is to... —  read more 

It is clear that layoffs are present and are here to stay. It is also clear that some positions are being eliminated in the sense that people at those positions get laid off, but nobody gets hired. Instead of that the work gets allocated to some... —  read more 

How many of you are planning to quit before the end of February?

I'm not sure why people are even thinking about layoffs anymore. When EM wants to get rid of employees, all it has to do is put them on PIP. Then they either leave right away because they know there's no beating it or they're fired in the end. PIPs... —  read more 

I understand that the info about these so-called restructures and mergers within parts of the company (feel free to read layoffs instead) is still scarce and we are yet to see that is going to happen, but how much do you think these changes will... —  read more 

And don’t mean a layoff here or there, which has been a regular occurrence for a while now at this company, but has anyone noticed anything out of the ordinary? Maybe more people getting the boot at a certain group at once or something? Has anyone... —  read more 

Of course, he told me this in an informal conversation and claimed he had nothing to do with deciding who was put on PIP. Did any of your direct managers admit the same thing or are they standing on the ground that PIPs are realistic and deserved... —  read more 

I understand that this is hard to tell at this time as layoffs are an everyday occurrence and as there are a lot of people leaving on their own , but has anyone noticed that there is an organized wave of layoffs with some sort of a pattern present... —  read more 

This is an honest question. Almost everyone that leaves XOM says that they got better payment at other companies in the sector. I can’t believe that to be entirely true. A few years ago people talked about XOM as the company in which they pay is... —  read more 

Layoffs will be present on a big scale in 2022. I don't think anybody employed at EM can doubt that. What I would like to know is has anybody heard anything about what might be the target numbers of laid off employees in 2022. I know that the... —  read more 

Imagine hating somebody you're related to so much that you recommend them for a job at EM now that they're desperate for more employees? Only people who hate their friends and family would do something like that to them. I want to keep mine as far... —  read more 

The only reason why I'm still here is because I'm waiting on one. Why leave a nice payout behind after ten years if I don't have to? I'm worried because it's not mandated by law. I'm not sure that a strong encouragement by MOM is enough to get EM to... —  read more

I read so many things about how bad managers are at EM, but in all honesty, I think it's more the case of them being burnt out from trying to change things that can't be changed (because everybody in leadership is petrified of change) and they are at... —  read more 

The worst performers and laziest ones are offered management roles and the best performers are labeled as expensive, PIPed, laid off, ore made to leave on their own. It was never before like that at EM. I understand that these practices may benefit... —  read more 

I’m not a long time employee of XOM. To be more precise I’ve been here for 4 years, but I remember that when I started the work conditions and the atmosphere at the company were much better than now. So, we are talking about a big change towards the... —  read more 

I never heard more people talking around the office that they are actively looking for other jobs and that they plan to leave as soon as the opportunity arises. I know that it’s common that a few people here and there talk about leaving around the... —  read more 

At least when you're laid off, you get severance. When you're put on PIP you know your days are numbered and that you'll be fired at the end of it. No severance and no other benefits. Also, why neither is ideal, a layoff is certainly easier to... —  read more 

That's what he told me after I stood up for myself and refused to accept even more work he was trying to get me to do despite it not being my job. I stood my ground and now I know I'm in trouble. I guess there's a PIP in my immediate future but I... —  read more 

Judging from the behavior that the company leadership has had towards Singapore in the last year or so there is no doubt in my mind that the general goal is to gradually shrink the operations and thin the headcount, going towards total abandonment... —  read more 

They're hiring in my field but I don't want to apply if the situation there is the same or similar to here. Has anybody worked there before EM? Any thoughts on the culture, job security, and growth opportunities? I would appreciate any info you can... —  read more 

You got good pay and good job. Chill, bro.

I admit, I'm getting a bit nervous as the anniversary of the last major layoff approaches. There's no way to know there won't be a repeat. I know that they have layoffs around the same time each year in the U.S., which makes it entirely possible that... —  read more 

Why are people shocked to learn employees are leaving for lower pay? I think it's perfectly understandable. It's been years since the pay was my number one priority when it comes to my job. The things that I prioritize now are perks and benefits... —  read more
