Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

@1wtx It doesn’t take much for an O&G operating company to change their plans.

I take your point though.

Not true. We are the only ones actively looking to outsource most of our jobs overseas. Others are still planning for their USA employees to have jobs in 10 years.

It probably doesn’t matter which O&G company they work for. There isn’t much difference from one super-major to another aside from minor cultural quirks. Everyone uses pretty much the same software, processes, etc., and everyone has worked everywhere else at some point, save for a few lifers.

Anyone who has been with the same O&G company for their entire career without being laid off is either very lucky, or (more likely) threw other people under the bus to protect themselves.

My favorite is reading the annual company published report that touts how many hours of training employees get per year. They must be counting all of the required annual trainings and nothing else….because nothing else exists.

Well, it does exist if you’re a chosen one who gets brought to the US for face time with the LT via some bogus training or face-to-face.

What's training?

Not only is there no real employee development at Exxon, but they don’t seem to recognize development you obtain outside of the company once you are hired. I got my masters on my own (before I knew about company reimbursement). I made the mistake of believing my manager when he said it would lead to more opportunities & money.

Drucker’s study is widely accepted and reported on as a way to measure the health of large companies in the US. It’s a great benchmark to see how ExxonMobil values (or doesn’t) its employees.

Exxon employees under 40yrs old, should consider that the company is designed to underperform in your development for the next few decades. Finding new employment now is probably the best thing for your career.

There is no employee development at Exxon. Management and HR talk about this a lot because it sounds good, like they are doing their jobs, but there isn't any development here. Why help employees develop skills if they are going to be fired through the PIP and their jobs sent to India? it is a waste of money.

Drucker Institute is a very relevant benchmark 😂😂😂😂

I don’t understand how we are ranked that high
