Why are the lights still on in PA, (Annandale) way heavy on department heads, and group heads here, such a waste. Is that glue still holding in the Central Plant? Hot weather is coming.🥵🔥. Picnic this year , I miss mr. Frosty🍦
@3dea - unfortunately (as demonstrated with the reorganization after the merger), all of the executives and senior managers seem to think that those in middle management can do the jobs of their direct reports even better than those reports. That's why they fill positions from the top down. Their opinion is that managers can do senior technical jobs better than the experts can (but not vice versa). That's why supervisors are a protected species and the company would rather cut all of the technical experts first.
Exactly, none of the down voters or XOMers want to answer this. Why exactly mgmt. folks are excluded every time from pips and layoffs? What additional value they provide vs. technical and people that do actual work? Why such protection offered to mgmt. and not others?
We all see one or two examples of that. But that doesn’t change that I currently have 3 ‘managers’ watching my work. Try getting work done, and trying to keep 3 people happy. And it is nothing new. I’ve only had one job where I had a single boss (and it was wonderful.). Every other role in my career has been 2 to 3.
Not true, 2 of the 7 managers in my division stepped down becoming ICs since last year. 1 was replaced by another person, 1 resulted in merger of 2 departments.
Lots of work to do in Annandale on this topic, dumpster fire 🔥….
Yes correct. It indicates the depths of the old guard system still in place and how long it will take to work it's way through (up and out or sidelined). If average age SLS is 40 it'll take 10 years at least to develop and install new middle management and above. FLS just come and go fodder as usual.
If it is about cost savings to get rid of Woody first. You have heard it from the grandma stockholder.
If the reason for layoff is cost savings, it should be done at all layers of workers, from worker bee to supervisors to managers and executives. But what you saw was that only worker bees are impacted although the one that make bad decisions are not impacted, but even get more compensation for being in charge during the "hard times"...
Don't forget Beaumont either. The bootlickers and koolaid drinkers from Beaumont has become marketers selling XOM on LinkedIn. Can't take care of already employed employees well enough but want to shout others to join XOM. Sicktards!
