Many seem to be pretending the burning dumpster fire train wreck driving off a cliff that will be the 2022 ranking won’t happen. It will happen. What are you doing to be prepared for a drop in ranking? A drop in ranking means smaller raises and more time between CL promotions. Less money over your career. You can stay and accept it or prepare to leave where value is greater.

I am experienced hire. Joined EM few years ago and since then was ranked top third/Outstanding every year. Recently I moved to new group and realized that all NSI/NI in the new group left the company. I believe I will be PIPed next year since I move to new group and they need to find someone to plug the ho-e..Luv_EM_4Eva

Magen I am a y war out from retirement I will volunteer for the Pip.
I don't give one sh-t what I'm ranked in 2022. The ba----ds ranked me NSI in 2021 and expecting the same in 2022. I'm NRE and just collecting a paycheck. I'll be retired by the time 2023 ranking rolls around so......../;./; FU Exxon
Yes I know two cases that it was indicated to them that their chances of successfully going through PIP were low.
The one has a recording because it was a zoom PIP! So be careful next time when you say sh-t.
I am not aware of anyone who was “forced” to take the PIL are you? This would be a direct violation of the policy if someone was not offered the PIP. Only exception is people who have been PIPd 3 out of last 5 years. They are toast.
@1lyt+1dtTiOQh Of course not. The PIP was a resounding triumph, with over 90% percent success rate, according to HR and our presidents!
Way to go!
(Of course they never bother to report the number of people who got forced to get PIL. These are like ghosts, they magically disappear every August and we never talk about them again)
Anyone actually fail a PIP in 2021? Those who have left resigned that I have seen.
@1rkj+1dtTiOQh "8% won’t happen again in 2022"
That is exactly what Managers were saying up until February 2021. Then they had to backpedal (again) to announce the 8% MLRP for 2021.
Then to calm people down, until June they were claiming that "this year PIP is real, and that most of the people will pass", only to see people suddenly disappear in August (again).
0 Backbone. Shame on you.
You failed the company by wrecking its reputation, and you failed your employees.
We will see this year but I do not have high hopes. We in research are already sending our testing procedures to India and the staff has been cut. We were six technicians in my group and are now down to three. The staff that was cut were the older higher paid employees. They kept the young ones and these young ones are protected. For me it is year to year until PIP. When I am 55 or older I will leave and work somewhere else. Others are right because without supervisors and managers knowing you in the ranking session you are doomed. Good luck to all in this squid game and to those who can retire do it and don't look back. Everyone I know who has left is much happier away from exxon.
8% won’t happen again in 2022
I am ready to leave. Been trying. Unfortunately I must not be very desirable outside the walls of EM. Not sure what I am going to do but i am miserable working here and I don’t believe I can do another year.
Be careful in Annandale, if you are RE you are in play. Don’t believe the lies and don’t drink the Kool-Aid. Hey it’s United Way Time how much will you pledge, great raffle ( what a joke) can’t make this stuff up!
@xqc+1dtTiOQh You almost sound surprised which is surprising to me.
The people targeted for immediate PIP through Sudden Death are not only high-ranked HiPos that have been “orphaned” but mainly older technical people, ranked somewhere in the middle, who need to be forced to retire. It can also be any regular employee, at any point in their career, who dares to stand up to some manager or just displeases his supervisor, who can now wreck any career for any reason.
@wnw+1dtTiOQh
If what you’re bragging about is actually the truth, you already know in October where “a lot of people will be ranked” next June. That would mean that:
- The ranking process at EM is a total sham, since somebody knows in advance many of the results
- To actually know that, you must be a manager, so you lie about not being protected, unless you want to tell us that managers also get PIPed left and right.
I think they introduced the Sudden Death process so they can immediately PIP someone for any reason such as a high ranked person transferred into new group or absolutely pitiful formerly sponsored high ranked person after his sponsor retires or transfers. No reason to let such high ranked people continue at the top without current local sponsorship.
Unfortunately with people going from top ranked to PIP instantaneously, it makes all employees feel like they are on a one year contract. Maybe a 2 year contract if work through PIP first year then PIL the second year without PIP option.
I’m not “protected”, I just already know where a lot of people will be ranked. The idea that ranking is based on your one year performance is bogus. They changed the powerpoint text, but at the end of the day you’re ranked the same as you were before. It’s pretty easy to highlight some BS on a pds because they were good in the past or to not mention something on someone who you want to leave low. The number of one year random changes is really minimal. There’s tons of dashboards on the HR side showing literally nothing changed lol
OP, good post but you forgot to mention that the oversized PIP will still be here, to make us stronger and braver.
@bls+1dtTiOQh
It’s obvious from the way you talk that YOU are protected, but a lot of people ranked high this year might go straight into PIP, thanks to The Sudden Death process, aka the improved assessment process formerly known as EM stin_king ranking.
I’m not sure where you get the idea that the ranking will be so bad this year, most people in my group aren’t changing and the ones who are it’s not like it’s going from outstanding to pip or vice versa. And dropping in the ranking has always meant slower promotions and smaller salary bumps (as it is at literally every company) so it’s not like this is some revolutionary idea or massive change from every other year.
I’m prepared big time. I’m leaving the hunger games before the ridiculous bull shif
