Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Clearly anyone who has time to report issues doesn't have enough work to do.

@dtr+1eFKQNKN doesn’t even use service now.

@dtr+1eFKQNKN why don't we ask the managment including DW and his cronies to give up their RSUs for one freaking year to and use those funds to progress these kind of projects, just like how they took away our 401k contributions for 1 full year? But I guess the greedy mgmt. doesn't want to give up anything it is just taking away all from other employees.

It was the same whining with Remedy when it first came online. Same with QES. Same with HDSS. Just have to work the kinks out. Stop complaining so much. Jeez.

Not sure why this is on layoff. Sounds like a whiner. I’m with the guy who said that the yammer dude is probably the same as the poster…..and all the negative ‘replies’ too. Maybe instead of writing a diatribe he should just learn how to use the system. #winningbycomplaining

Experienced hire here who continues to be stunned how EMIT & others DGAF about wasting employees' time and demoralizing them. Any of you f***ers read a book about change management? Good luck retraining & attracting talent. GFY.

If there was not enough budget to do it right why did we do it all? It might have been better to just drop it.

/C means show me the money in Latin.

Why is a contractor on Yammer? I thought XOM ppl dislike them. Let alone include them in anything

I thought C meant C minus?

I remember a yammer post with the “this is fine” meme, critical of the gaslighting by the inaction on sustainability. It got passed by high ups in the chemicals co.

Most people who used to dare to speak up have left.

ServiceNow has a ton of problems, but it has a ton of advantages and secondary cost savings that should be able to be realized in the coming years. Additionally, BMC (aka IT Console/ITSM) was very far past EOL and from a development perspective was a nightmare.

The problem is not ServiceNow itself, but the fact that the business pulled almost all of the funding for it but still required it be done. How are we supposed to do something well if you pull 80% of the money. Has nothing to do with offshoring or people leaving, it’s just the business pulling all of the funding.

One of the other areas that got gutted was training for ServiceNow. It was supposed to be a few months long and tons of options. They completely wrecked that budget to the point where people don’t know that we already completed trainings mostly.

Guy who posted on yammer made this post.

Just to clarify, /C means c level

Maybe CIO

it seems only /c folks dared to speak up in that yammer post. before that brave yammer post, I've only ever read a complaint about it once on this layoff site. strangely, the folks in-charged who commented on yammer don't seem to have heard the concerns raised before, and someone else had to print screen and explain "this is what I see when I click on the link, not helpful". (yeah... why did the interface show me a cart and $0.00 for an IT ticket, and none of the details of my ticket...) the interface is clunky and strange, the emails make little sense, and end users can't see details. anyone with half an IT sense looking at it would conclude it really is a sloppy job. (I bet the explanation given is "it's an MVP roll-out".) this is a classic showcase of us going down because they massively cut experienced EMIT people and outsourced to vendors. it's so bad

That John Doe guy gets everywhere...

@nao+1eFKQNKN, if your e-mail Id is something like Doe, John /C it means you're a contractor, not a regular EM employee.

Yes not sure how we went from a number of automated requests with notifications to users and approvers that had context to generically labeled requests with 0 information and Not searchable if you didn’t put it in yourself. It’s stalling so many of our business processes. At this rate bring back the decade old mailbox’s because things are not getting done.

@pgl+1eFKQNKN

or tax evasion and bypassing environmental regulations. Our real bread and butter.

Explains why he ain’t an employee!

As I’ve said before, this company doesn’t do real innovation, except when it comes to new ways to PIP or outsource; then it’s how low can you XOM?

No sustained value creation or real innovation, whatsoever!
