Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Scraps will be rationed. If a job is beyond a BTC level and below a HiPo level, contract staff will be assigned.

EM no longer wants or needs Technical Experts and will continue to PIP all Technical Experts until a massive Exxon Valdez level event occurs.

No scraps. Trying to starve out all HC10 Technical Professionals so they quit. If they do not quit, higher PIP quotas will be implemented.

Remember in 2018 and 2019 when EM was staffing up for huge increases in projects? Ha ha, never happened, never will. Those same execs received bonuses for the increase staffing plan then received bonuses for the layoff plan.

Not many scraps recently because EM Upstream dwindling towards zero.

If not for Guyana, which EM found by accident, there would not be much upstream at all.

DW is a Downstreamer and does not focus on Upstream growth. EM shrinking under his leadership or lack of!

S&D focus on developing BTC combined with HR goals of reducing employee benefits really add up to mass morale problems.

Mix in Hotdesking to abandon owned building for almost no savings because HVAC has to be kept active to avoid mold.

EM is becoming a miserable place for non HiPos. I think the HiPos are even getting discouraged with the recent pattern of filling executive positions with outside hires.

Su-k it up buddy. That’s capitalism for you. It’s what happened to the manufacturing industry. Your skills are a commodity and there’s someone willing to do the job for a fifth of the cost. If you can do the same, let them know.

The key to success at EM is to become a Planning Advisor. If a Refinery Warehouse Manager does a few months of bag carrying for an Executive, BO-M - gets assigned to an expat job that he is far from qualified for.

No need to worry, the Project will just staff up with contractors to cover the HiPo’s ignorance.

PM will receive a phone call just prior to ranking and will be verbally told the RG of the inadequate HiPo.

Sad but true. 90% of us just hoping for decent scraps left over from HiPo and BTC first dibs.

S&D is rigged to favor 10% of entire EM workforce. At any given time, only a select few are rotating between the high profile roles, continuously assessed OD,OwD becuase of perceived impact of the roles.

The rest is smokescreen and blatant lies. S&D advisors are puppets of discipline managers, so if the DM doesnt know or like you , there is no hope. Doesnt help having a weirdo in that role (example Reservoir engg) who favors certain type of people or gender based role changes. It is demoralizing and blatantly obious they dont care.
