Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

One year I received the most glorious feedback from many people. My boss told me that absolutely none of that feedback was useful in a ranking meeting because none of it came from a VP.

The problem was that our department mangler was an id--t and was insecure about me being more of an expert that him. Our department mangler actually checked my calendar daily and just prior to any meeting that I was supposed to attend with any VP in the room, the department mangler would come to my desk and tell me not to attend because he could cover for our whole department. He would let my direct reports attend meetings with VOs, but I NEVER was allowed in the room with a VP.
That means zero opportunity for VP feedback and zero VP’s exposed to me, thus zero VPs aware the I knew more than our id--t department mangler.

I fell in ranking every year that I worked for that freak.

Dropped categories this year and it is messing with my mind. Worked hard, got great feedback all year and drop.

This is the 5th time someone took a comment of mine and posted it as its own titled thread.

It was very much like a betrayal when all the hype about technical ladder would be as valued by EM as much as management ladder, then first ranking feedback was that I dropped in ranking because my great technical contributions paired in comparison to the managers in my rank group.

Never trust what they tell you. The only truth is it is a forced ranking system, and do whatever it takes to play the game well and win. Individual contributor’s credit will always be deemed as performing well due to good supervisory leadership. And if he performed badly, entirely due to his lazy and poor attitude. Either way you are at the losing end.

Learn what you can from this training school and move on to other companies that values you as a contributor.

Yea, they gave us that BS talk in Annandale, to promote and peak interest in the technical positions. Total lie, poor employees in PA didn’t believe it either…..grouphead position is a revolving door, real n-tease there now along with the department head…total losers

lol of course they do, cant believe you thought XOM cares about Technical contribution. I mean boiling oil has been done for over 100 years, it cant be that hard according to the managers
