Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

If you aren’t connecting with recruiters you are a fool and deserve to be in the 8% again this year. Yes, another 8% is only a few months away.

Another annoying thing is that some managers posted that they have finished taking the LI course for Leaders and Managers. Are you really that desperate to announce to your network that you have finished that LI course ?
You will still be a bad and fake managers even after taking that courses.
So annoying to see such posts!!

LinkedIn, the place where your wild imagination can be set free.

Even a Data Lead can also be Head of Enterprise Data Architecture there.

Real metaverse.

Do managers monitor LinkedIn accounts? Absolutely.

I worked at a company for several years and only spoke with the HR person two, maybe three times over a 3-year period. Then, when I marked my LinkedIn account as 'Open to Opportunities', I got a LinkedIn connect request from our HR manager the next day. Creepy.

I make it a point NOT to connect with my current boss/co-workers on LinkedIn. I also disable the auto update feed that sends out messages when I am active on LinkedIn. Unfortunately, this nullifies some of the networking features of LinkedIn, but it also helps protect my current job if I decide to start looking.

Also, I don't connect to many recruiters and I clean up my connections when my feed gets too 'spammy'. Be careful who you talk to in the recruiting world and make sure they know you DO NOT give them permission to talk to your current employer. I've had recruiters verify employment on me before even offering me a job. At a small company this news travels FAST.

Recently, a recruiter did that to a co-worker. Unfortunately, a sales person picked up the phone on that call and announced to the entire company (10 people in a small cube farm), "Well, I guess Jenny is looking for a job, because I just got a call from so-and-so asking about her employment."

Yes, I noticed a few who left for other companies or got hired by XOM based on faked or exaggerated credentials. What’s even sadder are toxic managers who copy accomplishments of their direct reports to their LI profile.

“Have you noticed over the last 18 months that more and more of our colleagues are changing their exxonmobil.com email address in their LinkedIn profile to their personal email address (i.e. gmail, yahoo, aol, .... etc.).”

Usually a question mark follows an interrogative statement.

To the question, no sensible person would use their work email for LinkedIn, for (hopefully) obvious reasons. The fact that this was even happening, or that someone spends enough time observing their colleagues on LinkedIn to notice it, says quite a lot about the people who work there.

Who still uses Yahoo or aol for email?

Very few profile include email in their LinkedIn contact info. Even fewer use it, most users contact through InMail. Even fewer notice who has published their work email. And only the most scary notice when it has been changed.

Call EAP.

Also notice the exaggerated main profile titles, exaggerated meaningless job experience and expertise descriptions by ExxonMobil employees in their LinkedIn profiles.

It is mind boggling to see the stupidity in some of these LI profiles showing their brains so ingrained with Fake ExxonMobil culture that even lies about useful experience and expertise are vague meaningless catchy fake attempts. Truly a sheet-show of identity crisis on LI by many specially ones with higher education degrees.

That is a great observation!

Anyone at any company who uses a work email for linkedin is a fool
