Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

@ioe+1jJAgLn8 Not seeing 6 months in your math. Let’s be realistic here…

Giving two weeks notice used to be considered courteous and professional. I think that doesnt apply in the EM world. The advice below is good. Take all leave in advance with lame excuse. Walk out door last week of the month when your paycheck is already banked. Leave nothing, owe nothing and be owed nothing. Work out benefits by phone. Cursory email to supervisor and copy HR. Shake some hands and adios. Leave badge w security. Do not mess up and forget something.

The following advice applies when leaving any corporation:

1. Don’t sign anything they give you.
2. Get your personal data off of your work devices.
3. Get your work data off of your personal devices.
4. Get all of your HR contacts for payroll, benefits, etc., together. Do it quietly.
5. Secure your references. Do this quietly too.
6. Remove any personal property that you have at the office. Do it in stages.
7. Keep your resignation letter short. Three sentences max.
8. Don’t sign anything they give you.

Anything else you choose to do is up to you. Personally, I don’t give notice when quitting. When I have a job lined-up, I just take my PTO then tell whomever I report to that I’m done. It’s better that way. Note that none of the above steps include or require giving advanced notice.

Good luck. All of you.

Take your floating holidays all vacation and all sick days (depending on how many years you have it could be six months at full pay), start your new job, then give your two weeks notice, by email. Even if they hold your last check, you’re still way ahead.

Best plan is to take your floating holidays then show up the next day and put in your 2 weeks notice. You will be out the door by Jan 20. Be sure to remove any personal items now as they watch you like a hawk in last 2 weeks

@keo+1jJAgLn8 the Dec 1, 2023 effective date is for people who retire from the company. If you're not RE, then the program applies this January.

You’re technically not supposed to take vacation or days off once you give notice. I’m unsure of pay in lieu for carry over vacation. Theoretically you should get it since you earned it, but EM does some weird stuff.

In most cases the managers have no idea what to do when a direct report puts in notice. It’s quite comical. Congrats on escaping from Shawshank.

You get paid for your vacation if you are employed at least one day in 2023. You have until December 1 2023 and then all that stops and it’s only accrued that you get paid for.

Just stop showing up to office on Jan 1 and don’t come back in to put in your two weeks notice until you use up all your vacation hours. Log in each day and do just enough to keep the lights on. Problem solved. It will take them a few weeks to figure out what is going on and what to do, so you will get paid and get to leave.
