Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Decimation explained: Not what you thunk

I saw earlier response (way down there) saying the reduction goal currently is 10% ('Decimating') for MPT. Or at least PT.

Decimation. It's an old Latiny Roman term for chopping the heads of/off 10%.
Some might have thought: - 'that's what's done to the Enemy captured and civilians.'
But No - that was what was done to 'low-performing' Roman legions. Their own.

All this talk of packages dream-stuff.
The 'performance' pipping out in the US had sufficient success.
Fine-tuned, there will is a new style applying now in EM globally.

Just slight refinement of:
"Never liked that gal - and that guy used my salad dressing."

EM is now past Decimation style with training of your replacements - this ended 1Q2020.
The pip Decimation in US... virtually unannounced and any job handover was simply a pile of heads and hands.

10 by 10 by 10 by 10 - which EM considers the right dividend.

Now - you can Decimate again and again.
And by basic Euclidean geometry we're told: You'll never eliminate the last employee.

Try to be that gal.

In Exxon, sounds like the old 80% rule.
Where you achieve that 80% level of success on a project, then you done good.

But once 3 or 4 project handlers are through with it,
it's 80% of 80% of 80% of 80% - are we 50% now?

Thanks, SomeLump. Hadn't thought of that policy for a long time.

What bs. Sure if you actually cut low performers but we all know how this went at Exxon. They just concealed a lay-off to avoid severance. Unethical liars
