I read an article about a fire at Baton Rouge Refinery that says the company reported no injuries and the first thing I thought was "they're lying through their teeth." Granted, they are as likely to be telling the truth as not, but they've lied so many times about so many small and huge things that I now find anything they say suspect. I've never before worked for a company where I trusted the management less.

My default assessment of any official statement by XOM to me or the public is they are lying. I have been lied to or been deliberately misled so often that I don’t expect anything else.

F&L has lots of those
Wonder why all schedulers let’s the company
If you got carpal tunnel at work, then it means you are an unsafe worker. Clearly disobeying the safety regulation. Your keyboard strokes and breaks are being reviewed now. You will be quietly dropped to bottom quintile, because safety is part of your assessment. You will help XOM meet its PIP goal. Adios
“How to know this management has lost our trust - completely”
Why did you or anyone else ever trust them to begin with? Is there something in the water making otherwise reasonable adults exceptionally naïve or especially susceptible to corporate pandering? Asking for a friend….
At a site I worked a few years back -
a large fella had a heart attack and died after a hearty breakfast on site.
they had to disassemble the toilet stall to remove him (rigor mortis).
Yet he was not officially declared dead until halfway to the hospital.
The local coroner agreed.
Off-site. Out of mind.
Play the game!
Make no mistake, I’ll pip underlings like nothing to keep moving forward and upwards, it works and both myself and my family benefit. You do not have to like it, but, it’s a tough world out there, deal with it.
Had early signs of carpel tunnel a few years back. My supervisor was first caring but then changed her tune. Started to imply Thus was a result of a sports injury or a result of working from home. (Not work related.). I ignored her statements and stood my ground that it was the result of wirk. Want to remind her that she is not a medical doctor. Exxon does not promote the best people to be first line supervisors or Managers. There are very few good ones. The best ones are the more experienced people who worked in the trenches ( do their own work) and not the high flyers that are rotated in and out every 2 years to wreak havoc.
Yes they have sold their souls to exxon. One manager piped two people in the last two years. On of the pips was someone they knew and worked with for at least ten years. They piped the people like nothing. The manager got a nice promotion and is on the upward track. This manager spreads the exxon lies and plays the game well. We have two other employees that would do anything for exxon and to become management. They crave power and the approval of exxon higher ups. If exxon said get a tattoo of exxon on your body they would comply and love it. If they had to pip every undeserving worker that they work with they would do it. Exxon promises these young ones great rewards and present it as an opportunity for upward movement and growth. The smart ones leave because they can't stomach the lies and favoritism. We are left with sycophants who will sc--w over anyone and have no conscious about what is going on.
Very true, if you're not playing the management game, you're losing! 😁
Management is trained to gaslight. That is their definition of being "transparent".
