Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

18% already in 2022?

What was total attrition in 2021?

2021 was higher in my department.

Attrition rate as of 3Q22 is 18%, higher than industry average

I was a technician at ExxonMobil for well over 10 years. I quit because of the way management treats their employees.

So far, best move I've made in a long time.

The NREs and REs in my area have all been asked to take on more individual contributor work since the competent workforce is at an all time low. I enjoy the work, but, not good for Company going forward

Near retirement eligible or retirement eligible are NOT coasting. Actually these employees are on pins and needles. It’s a very stressful position to be in but, they hang on for whatever personal reason. I’m here to tell you that the stress is not worth risking your health. Get out while or as soon as you can. Trust me, they won’t notice you’re gone. Sad but, true.

@OP - well that's a load of cr@p ! We already know that Retirement Eligible staff have been targeted in this (and previous) PIP programs. Just enough Early and Mid-Career people are caught in the process to make it sufficiently difficult to construct a class action law suit.

I quit working for EMIT a long time ago and basically only do stuff that interests me and builds my skills. Everything else gets slow walked. And I am happy, great pay, no stress. Management are non technical so they have no clue when I tell them a one hour job takes a week!

My group has lost a lot of young engineers this year and I hear the same story from friends in other groups. Management had to finally quit saying that attrition is at a normal rate and this was within the plan of the layoff calculated number in December 2020.

What attrition rate percent is normal per year?

What percent of employees have quit this year?

not sure why the downvotes.

I sit in EMIT. Recent months we had at least 1-3 people in my team leaving every week, globally. The attrition is so bad that we had to re-prioritize work several times because the young people with 2-10 years experience kept leaving. And our team is going to significantly underrun Plan because there's nobody to do the work that businesses want done. our running joke now, when we ping someone we haven't spoken to in a while, is "wow I'm glad you're still around!"

many people here like to bash emit, but it is more than just issuing laptops or password resets. good luck to you if you have tech issues and there's no one experienced anymore to support because folks have had enough of being treated like third class. there's tech crunch everywhere, even in low-cost countries, so for us, we had to hire contractors and pay 4x more.

I hope someone in the now-very-lean HR function is looking at the implicit costs of hiring, training and then losing all these years of experience from our good young and mid-career people. But knowing this company, especially from this board, I think management is in such a mess now that they can't care. I clap for the senior management who made these big brain moves that caused this mess... brilliant.

@1rmn+1bYcMCcs Houston based emit is on board and questioning management that doesn’t allow us to actually help the business. Hey, most of us actually have engineering or science degrees, it’s management with the MIS or business degrees in emit that are running us to the ground.

Now BTC emit, completely different ball game they’re playing there. As another poster noted, we know what low value work has been outsourced

“At this moment, we have no plans for attrition.”

Attrition is way out of control. Losing young engineers left and right and even the workers turning valves.

@1euf 416 downvotes and counting.

There’s a few different ways to repeatedly downvote/upvote posts. You can usually tell when one of the Boomers here have figured it out by the ridiculous number of downvotes against posts they don’t like.

Post is spot on and speaks the truth

Maybe the attrition rate is represented by down votes. Blink twice if true.

The attrition is not to be spoken of

Odd that this post of all posts would get brigaded with downvotes. EMIT, fix your bot!

The downvotes are hilarious. I guess we know what “low value” work the folks at BTC have been assigned.

More rigged than rankings @1euf+1bYcMCcs

Darin is just downvoting it with his boys because he doesn’t like the truth

Is anyone else seeing 250 downvotes on this post? That can’t be right if this was posted an hour ago.

One hundred percent

This was copy pasted from an IOL post that got no traction. Looks like OP is getting no traction here either lol

No sh-t, Sherlock.
