Got laid off? Share your story as to why you thought you were safe under the guise of a "career with ExxonMobil." If the company had not over-promised and under-delivered, these postings may not exist.
Pretty sure the new leadership in EMIT are just a bunch of "yes-men," including the new VP.
Most of EMIT should be outsourced to service providers. Let the vendors bid over and may the lowest bidder win. That's how you cut operating costs. Anyway, EMIT is an overhead expense from an accounting perspective. Adios EMIT!
Some people spend their whole careers talking and doing useless roles like BPM and PM. What are their R&Rs exactly? No one knows. I bet you, they don’t even know it themselves. Oh, maybe their roles entail talking and delegating. Not forgetting about the part where they claim the hard work done by others to put in their PDS. We all know this because they don’t deliver any value at all.
Looks like Bangalore and Curitiba are now fighting over the sc-aps on this forum.
@9nvg+18jWW44c Agile isn't the problem. The backwards way EMIT used agile is the problem.
Why go Curitiba, so much better places with good people. If you working with them, you will know they are so lazy and unprofessional. Don’t complaint India, they better
Much of EMIT in Curitiba is overpaid compared to Bangalore.
That is being studied.
Is that what block-chain means?
Agile. The most useless s__t ever introduced in EMIT !
EMIT was a clown.
EMIT gone trade-wind.
Buried with the red nose on.
Embed the IT value in the business and cloud or ghost the rest.
@7cze+18jWW44c Lol.. DM!
One team comes to mind about suspicious benefits reporting. They get huge budget under the guise of experimentation, quick MVP and replication. But what have they truly delivered? Just loads of bs talk, hiding behind DevOps process when things fail. Questionable flying patterns, creating countless stakeholder slides (do we need a team for powerpoint creation?) and dashboards that look as messy as a kids colouring book. Imagine what ACTUAL work can be done with this waste of an investment. Drain the swamp!!
There are many organisations in EMIT that should be reassessed. Value capture has been exaggerated by these teams for many years. How much of it are true benefits that the Business are willing to be accountable for? Just a numbers and dashboard game that is being crunched by some pawn analyst, who is pressured by their manager to inflat the importance of their team. Clowns
@hts - totally agree with your assessment!
Whatever happened to digital innovation with Microsoft LooL
One got to have a good pedigree to get an expat assignment from EMIT. Who you know and which church you go works the best.
Turned down two expat assignments. Not everyone thinks money is everything.
@gfk+18jWW44c
Anyone here that wouldn't jump at an Expat assignment? Not everyone can go international, and for those that do, EG, PNG, N'Dj, Eket, Jakarta all can be considered hardship assignments. Been to each and premiums were good back then. Also been to London, St Johns and Melbourne. Those 3 were cushy assignments with low premiums. I would've rather stayed in Houston than go to a cushy expat assignment. Reading multiple posts denouncing Expats leads me to believe we either have a bunch of jealous folks or some that were not willing to go to the tough spots. Maputo is kinda tough. Wait till FID and lets see how many will go to site!
I always felt that as long as you performed decently you were safe. And it used to be that management’s perception of your performance was in line with what you thought about yourself. As time went on, though, it was less about performance and more about politics. Backstabbing became the norm. Cliques became the norm, especially in A&T where the head honcho knighted her folks with the STP designation, which in most cases wasn’t warranted. And don’t get me started on the former MAD guys with their huge inflated egos!
And now we’ve seen where performance doesn’t matter at all for the involuntary layoffs. Some really good folks are gone.
Used to be proud to be a part of EMIT.
Go away trolls
@gfk+18jWW44c Lol.. LST!
Our executive even got an expatriate assignment! Now.. who says we are out of cash!
What career? Emit management at different sites have been outdoing each other on safety and extracurricular activities for years. Doing real work gets you nowhere. Event planning skills with brown-nosing does. Sad truth.
What new leadership? I see the same wrinkled old faces.
