You have options. No need to stay at XOM if you don’t like it. Nothing is more common today than changing jobs to find a place that better aligns with what you want. What is stopping you?

If you really think you are going to be laid PIPd then stick around and try to get that severance.
If you aren’t sure or you think you may just get a low rating, head for the exits. Even if you sacrifice the chance of future severance or pensions. It is worth it if you find the right place to go. You might make up the difference in your signing bonus.
@OPee in response to your queEry about "changing jobs to find a place that better aligns with what you want;" I ASK WHY?
We don't know of a better place than here to get laid while getting paid.
I for one will stay as long as my unit is working and will resort to taking the little blue pill if/when it starts to fail me.
@ith+1mrUZZdP Actually quitting doesn’t prevent someone else from being NSI. This is why it is rare to fire. Low performer outside of the assessment process.
20% here we come
The only thing stopping me from leaving is my mole status.
That is - I can't continue collecting the internal info needed to bring this company down.
Not a saboteur or provacateur - just a model citizen with a sincere hatred for all things ESSO. And it's derivatives.
Do improve your passwords everybody.
If you quit, the company can flag it as a "Regretted Resignation" instead of a "PIP/PIL/NSI/RETIREMENT".
Anyone that quits as a "Regretted Resignation" saves one additional employee that has to be forced into "PIL/PIP/NSI" this year.
it's quite suspicious that all these posts encouraging to leave are appearing now. what's up with that?
@OP+1mr, you still get your pension buyout if you have at least 5 years and quit. Unless it's changes since 2021, when I left.
Employees,
Let the company terminate you before you quit. As a terminated employee, you will receive your 3 to 4 months' severance and more importantly, you will receive your pension "lump sum" that can be rolled into your 401K.
If you quit before you are terminated, you get nothing.
Our corporation is very afraid that if they reduce headcount in HC10 countries by 20% this year, it will look like a layoff by any and all government agencies instead of a performance based "needs significant improvement" system.
Anyone that quits before being terminated will incrementally lower the 20% target headcount reduction in HC10 countries.
Strange words from an employee who knows that we will be reducing employee headcount by 20% in Houston in 2023. Houston is one of the HC10 countries.
Borrowing words from NASA, "Houston, we have a problem."
