Anyone attend the "survey results review" meeting to discuss how to address the undesirable feedbacks areas of the survey. As in the "Company Wide" survey now broken back down to the group level and punished for submittng undesirable feedback.
I think I can vision how the next survey will go down.....low participation, perfect results.
“If Presidents are sending out emails to employees about not attending meals at a certain restaurant in Houston - yes this actually happened”
Huh? What is this about?
I don't believe that is true. In fact there is almost the opposite problem. There need to be 5 responses from within your team for the results to show up at all. If your teamis <5 or with <5 participants you don't see anything.
Anyone else think the survey’s definition of ‘anonymous’ was really awful. A supervisor with as few as 3 direct reports seeing exact comments? I’m pretty sure that is not anonymous….that’s power of elimination.
But then again, nothing is ever really anonymous, is it?
What is this about a President banning a restaurant?
@xwl+1ipBComP, that's my exact feeling.
You've got young people staying just enough to put an ExxonMobil line on their resume (assuming this is still impressing recruiters), looking for opportunities outside and jumping outboard as soon as they can, middle-aged employees with little option (too “brain-washed” by the company to imagine alternatives outside, believing rightly or wrongly they are hi-po, without real transferable skills, you name it...) and old folks watching the circus this company has turned into, compared to what it was when they joined 30 + years ago, keeping their fingers crossed until they reach the RE age...
I belong to the latter category.
When we looked at the actions the first thing I asked was why are the recommended actions directed at us, the employees, why is it not more critical of management?
Is their delusion so ingrained that they think they are blameless in this situation?
Of course I know, ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
Yeah. We had the discussion at the management level. It was just a joke.
We went over the results and after each negative item, our manager said, “That can’t be right. You don’t all really feel this way, do you?” Of course, no one disagrees with her and even though the results are based on what we said, everyone procedures to brown nose their way out of our own results.
Then we decide we don’t need to have any real action items for improvement because :.
The only survey that concerns XOM is "What will be the Federal Reserve's (and corresponding EU, China, and other Central Banks) final interest rate ceiling before global inflation is reigned in?
Higher interest rates means that the potential for a global recession is higher.
My VP said oh empowerment. we need to give you more. 🤔
meanwhile no VP, SVP, or even any Pres has a single shrewd of power. who do they think they are kidding? 🤥
If Presidents are sending out emails to employees about not attending meals at a certain restaurant in Houston - yes this actually happened - you know for sure they have hardly any say in anything of any importance.
We all know EM is run like a dictatorship and our Idi Amin happens to be a white dude from Kansas.
We've still heard nothing in our section in Europe.
Our manager mumbled about it for 45 seconds at our staff meeting.
Utimately, ppl w/o choice and ppl chained by their pensions will remain. In 5~10 years time, the later will be all retired, and we will be left with the former and a bunch of fresh hires that has no problem jumping ship
And it’s all supervisors fault. HR and our Senior Executives are perfect and wonderfully supportive. The poor morale is because the ‘workers’ don’t understand; nothing to do with the performance system being weaponized as a tool to lay people off, record high (and desired by Corp) attrition, being competitive pay vs companies we don’t compete again.
