Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

We are all disrespected

There was a previous post concerning the way technical experts and experienced hires are disrespected. I agree, but I think there is a general disrespect for all employees.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be lied to about layoffs disguised as PIPs.

We’d not be expected to do mutually exclusive things like expecting collaboration & innovation while simultaneously pitting us against each other to survive ranking.

We’d have an actual maternity leave and sick leave program.

They wouldn’t send out hokey stress management and work/life balance information while also needlessly contributing to elevated stress levels and demanding we come into the office and stay in the office (and not WFH).

They wouldn’t send out surveys asking for our opinions and ideas, ignore those opinions and ideas, and then when the results come in, ask us to come up with ideas on how to solve these issues.

We wouldn’t be managed by those who are woefully incompetent and have no experience in the jobs they are overseeing.

We wouldn’t be expected to take on extra work after they push people out the door, and then be penalized in ranking when we don’t “shine” and fail the “step out of the box” while doing the work of 2-3 people.

We wouldn’t do all that is asked of us, go above & beyond, be praised all year and then be told we are NSI after ranking.

You wouldn’t have supervisors handling your final PDS discussion who barely know you and are so incompetent that they fail to notice they highly praised one of your skills at the beginning of the review and then told you that you need significant improvement in that same skill at the end of the review.

EM consistently disrespects pretty much all employees. It’s so deep, you can’t fully appreciate the level at which it is done until you have left and had time to see clearly. There is a reason why local psychiatrist offices are full of EM employees.

It would be great to talk to a therapist who already understands what's going on at EM. Is there a way to know what therapists have a lot of exxon patients?

@avd+1ig3SwHZ Listing the behaviors that show a lack of respect a company has for their employees does not indicate a hatred for that company. With logic like that, it’s no wonder there are problems with respect at EM.

As for the stellar advice concerning quitting... Many people have quit and will quit soon, but that does nothing to solve the issue of disrespect at EM.

If you hate the place that much maybe you should get a job elsewhere?

Something similar happened to me.

In 1980 I broke out as a Drilling Engineer. My first assignment was drilling engineer on the well site working month on - month off. It was a remote land location outside Muscat, Oman (with no email and no phone connection only VHF radio) . I arrived on location from Houston and the rig super immediately told me to go my trailer and not show my face on the rig until I was schedule to leave in 28 days. I was hounded by him my entire time. Meal times were especially bad.

The same thing happen with another rig super in a location offshore China in 1987.

It was really bad but there was nothing I could do about because these supervisors had the support of management. I just took it.

I eventually gained a reputation as an engineer that knew how to get the work done. After that the disrespect stopped.

35 years later I retired financially independent, in part, because I learned to take it and roll with the punches; but, I probably could have benefited from therapy which I never got.

This issue of disrespect is not new in the O&G industry

I had to go to a therapist due to my boss bullying me. He would make fun of my accent - I’m from South America - he would tell me he could crush me and my career, he said HR were on his side so don’t think about reporting him, he even called me boy.

I went to the therapist as I was really suffering from anxiety and stress. During my first visit the therapist asked me if I had been pipd… she said 80% of her clients were from EM. She had a better understanding of the whole assessment system than I did because she had discussed it with so many patients.

ExxonMobil is led by a group of very evil people that have no compassion for people.

I don’t know how the leadership can sleep at night.
