Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

One of the key changes that's costing us good people

I joined EM for the training and development opportunities. The EM I joined as a graduate put me through a rigorous graduate development scheme, provided early job rotations that kept me intellectually stimulated and gave me exposure to subject matter experts who had travelled the world and were the best in their field. Fast forward to 2018, now at IOL and training was non-existent, rotations were ill-conceived and young graduates were expected to know things that nobody had shown them. My 'global exposure' suddenly reduced to producing mediocre mundane reports. The thought of spending the next 20+ years in such a suffocating environment was enough to convince me to walk away. I'm happy I left, it was the right decision for me but I'm also sad to see this giant of a company slowly become a thing of the past.

Bumped from @dfk+1hNwffiY.

All I see is a loop back of PDS projects and the same people living off them. From sponsor down. It’s like a pyramid scheme. I’ve developed myself at a cost. Even the office people only work when it benefits them.

Joined during the pandemic, now they are wanting us to return to the office while we get remote work offers for a better pay.
What the fu-k are they thinking?

Totally agree.
Joined during the pandemic, virtually no training given and support was limited due to headcount reductions.
Now that we're back in the money, the company remains uninterested in training New Hires. I don't think they see it as a significant value add when you have a job handover OneNote...
