Don't be fooled, PIPs are just masked layoffs. If Exxon really cared about employees improving their performance, Exxon would do its best to motivate us.

The whole “let them eat cake” attitude displayed by management ever since THEIR financial mismanagement surfaced in late 2019 was only exceeded by their truly employee-focused (NOT) COVID response.

You forget that we were also limited in how much we could rise.
Yes, now everyone can move in both directions. I don’t know it is a bad thing.
Removing the limitations on how far down in ranking a person can fall happened at same time the PIP system was weaponized.
This was done so that any person at any rank level could be PIP’d/fired.
We are all on 1 year contracts.
