Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Staying too long doesn't just cost you time. It costs you growth.

Most people quit too late.

Look out for these 12 signs:

  1. Dread Every Morning
    ↳This isn't a bad week, it's a pattern that won't shift
    ↳Ex: Your stomach drops every Sunday night before Monday

  2. Growth Has Stopped
    ↳You've learned everything this role can teach you
    ↳Ex: You could do your job in your sleep and haven't been challenged in months

  3. Values Don't Match
    ↳The company rewards things you don't believe in
    ↳Ex: Leadership praises long hours over real results

  4. No Real Feedback
    ↳Your manager never talks about your future, only your tasks
    ↳Ex: Your last three reviews said "keep doing what you're doing"

  5. Constant Small Lies
    ↳You're asked to bend the truth in ways that add up
    ↳Ex: You're told to tell clients a project is "on track" when it's not

  6. Health Keeps Slipping
    ↳Your body is sending signals your calendar ignores
    ↳Ex: You've had three headaches this week you didn't have last year

  7. Talent Keeps Leaving
    ↳Good people quitting is a signal, not a coincidence
    ↳Ex: Three teammates left in six months and no one asked why

  8. Raises Feel Impossible
    ↳You've asked clearly and gotten vague answers twice
    ↳Ex: "Let's revisit this next quarter" - for the second year in a row

  9. Passion Feels Gone
    ↳You used to care, now you just show up
    ↳Ex: You stopped raising ideas in meetings months ago

  10. Trust Is Broken
    ↳Something happened that changed how you see leadership
    ↳Ex: A promise about your role or pay was quietly broken

  11. Skills Are Stale
    ↳The market is moving and your role isn't keeping up
    ↳Ex: You haven't learned a new tool or skill in over a year

  12. Gut Says Go
    ↳You already know, you're just waiting for permission
    ↳Ex: You catch yourself checking job boards every day at lunch

Staying too long doesn't just cost you time.
It costs you growth.

@OP So youre saying we should all just quit voluntarily and make it convenient so the company doesn't have to worry about layoffs, severance, pensions, or other promised benefits. Nice try, HR 😉

I left Exxon after 20 years. In hindsight, I should have left after 5-10 years, especially if I knew how bad things would get.

Even still, better late than never.

great cut and paste from some ai generated response to a prompt that doesnt even address the frustrations of the actual PA process and ranking process

I wonder what the exodus would be like if XOM ever decided to get rid of the pension/lump sum.

30%?

Just trying to make it to 55.
