Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Exxonmobil has changed the resignation policy to 3 months post jan 2026 and you are potentially holded on hook even if you get oppurtunities.

Stop dreaming and be happy if you even see 10%

Today’s townhall was a clear answer, “ we don’t care what you want, leave if you can.”

Today’s townhall did help at all.

Being a low cost center doesn’t mean Exxon treats us like peasants, match up the Indian market benefits and wages.

Bring expats to India for what reason? They are clueless and powerless themselves, only here to go to Taj Mahal and exploit their subordinates.

Hiring experienced hires from third grade educational background and sh---y companies like Reliance, makes Global Projects at BTC the worst organisation. Raises need to be 50% to be competitive in market, or else you are hiring sub standard talent, and then blame it on India? India has excellent talent but Exxon pays peanuts with below par benefits.

They have the maximum expats and the most d-mb, clueless ones, especially the crazy ‘leader’ or ‘manager’ whose job is to walk around the office and make sure everyone wears their mask and dies of suffocation. Thats about it.

BTC is a failure and new campus hires are fooled by management during campus recruitment, after one year they realise and leave, its the worst to be with such such pathetic experienced hires, can’t even speak or dress properly. Culture is toxic because of hypocrisy of hiring the best, my A-S, liar management.

EM’s 'grand business model' WILL collapse.

Expats sent to BTC are not really adding anything except for toxicity and patheotc Houston culture. They are the highest cost factor, millions spent for each of them.

Its really clear that they come here for vacation and/or to control people as they get no respect in Houston. Lot of middle management stuck ups who want to travel in this part of the world and get extra pay, thats it, thats the priority.

@eds+1dvCnCuH Yup, the company can afford 60+ expats (and even these expats are the caliber of famous LI poster - JE) but couldn't afford employees laid off and won't give leadership to local employees. Epitome of hypocrisy.

I’d be surprised if any of the raises were double digits.

To @xka+1dvCnCuH’s point, the Btc biggest cost increase will be driven by the influx of expats including multiple dual career couples.

@xka+1dvCnCuH
But that’s what makes this so fun! These mo--ns laid off 20 year employees thinking they could shift that work to a low cost country. Now they are getting horrendous employee churn, a highly inexperienced workforce AND higher costs. Let’s go Darren!

A 30% YoY salary increase, across the board, in India is just not sustainable!
Is that the expectation of Indian employees there?
Why do you think EM reduced technical headcount at (deemed more costly) manufacturing sites and moved technical support to BTC?
It’s all about the $$ bottom line.
If BTC overheads shoot up the roof, EM’s grand business model will collapse and you will see the demise of BTC in Bangalore and for that matter, KLTC in Kuala Lumpur too.
Remember: in the eyes of the Texans, you’re supposed to be a low-cost TC to begin with!
