Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

LOL really?

One benefit of PIP though is the extra 3 months of service. For those that haven’t been here long or just entered a new assignment I think that’s pretty valuable to employers.

Me thinks you're the smooth brain dumb@ss that believes that garbage.

They also started 90% of the people that took the PIP passed. Not 90% of those in NSI passed. You seem to be NSI potential though will likely be ranked high due to brown nosing the company message.

90% of the people in NSI make it through dumba$$

@xee+1a3dvosg - during the 3-month PIL, you still receive your salary each month - so you are still on the payroll. Also, save up your vacation as much as possible. The separate PIL for unused vacation days (regular and carry-over) can be very useful. That gave me an extra 30 days salary last year.

I’m the original poster of this comment that OP references. For context I did the PIP, passed, and then one month later was put on involuntary. I’d say in’s the end it worked out beautifully for me, but I also believe I got extremely lucky. I wouldn’t recommend my path in the current situation, because I don’t think they’ll do another formal layoff. Likely to be PIPs from here on out.

By the way, got a better job, better pay, and feel much much happier and valued now. Don’t be afraid to make the leap. Plenty of great opportunities beyond the sinking oil ship.

@cbi Similar story here. Supervisor wanted me to do the PiP because he thought I had a strong chance of succeeding, but I was so over the company by that I took the PiL and ran.

Yep. That’s what I did last year. Took the PIL and the 3 months pay to sell my house in Spring and GTFO of Houston.

My supervisor wanted me to do the PIP dance and had everything wrote up. I didn’t even bother reading it. I saw it for what it was: a layoff to reduce headcount. He was somewhat disappointed in my decision. He was probably more disappointed in EM.

Oh, well. Life goes on.

@xee+1a3dvosg

The 3 month PIL is not a lump sum payment. You remain on the payroll while receiving it. So, no difference in employment end date between the PIL and PIP. Of course, the company could choose to end the PIP early and fire the employee before 3 months, which was done last year.

They want you to take the PIL and the vast majority took it in 2020.
