Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

BYOPPE - masks and such / safety last

Just maybe all y'all that work on the Houston or Irving camps don't think about PPE too much. Unless you go to a water park with the kids, for example:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/17/us/texas-houston-water-park-chemical-incident/index.html

But the point of this post is directed your way because you don't see the daily exposures your actual profit-making field workers have to deal with.

And now - to keep your cushy seats and clean-breathing MPTness into retirement years - the company is constraining specific PPE elements for we others, the ones that open a sulfur dioxide/phosgene valve every day. That is how profit is made, did I mention.

Well, profits can also be made when one never makes it to 15 and 55.

@1oag no, we get it. Where is the original post lost me is “ And now - to keep your cushy seats and clean-breathing MPTness into retirement years - the company is constraining specific PPE elements for we others.”

You would be obtuse to look over all of the pointless things this company pays for and blame retirement plans for why they refuse to provide proper PPE.

I don’t know if people on this thread got the point of the original message...

But yes - the ones out there on the field, on site. Risking their lives like during the Texas freeze. Yet they are the ones being limited the most and being exposed.

You may want to note that the opposite of a socialist is not a corporate boot-li---r.
The way Darren has led this company deserves exactly $0, not a penny more. A good CEO certainly deserves adequate pay, but here we’re dealing with a sub-mediocrity who faced with an existential company crisis is able only to apply the same decades-old methods that have caused the problems in the first place. And also to whine that he’s underpayed.

Asking questions is fine. But just because you're too low of an IQ to figure it out doesn't mean the decision was wrong.

As for Darren paying himself to "run the company into the ground"? What do you think the XOM CEO should be paid if not millions/year? 220k/year? That is what a new grad in computer science makes. Or are you a socialist?

Contact the one in charge of world wide refining, Humpty Dumpty, for your PPE, personal safety and related cost cutting issues. The good folks on this site, The PIPables, have nothing to do with those decisions, we are all on the ruderless same ship, The PIPSTELLATION.

No one is perfect or innocent.
All are complicit.
And some are guilty.

You’re blaming the regular employees on this thread instead of a CEO paying himself millions of dollars to run the company into the ground on cushy corporate jets? Cr--s in a bucket.

Why rock the boat, when you can sink the boat?
