Does anyone have a breakdown of the 1900 layoffs by function or by location (as was shown for those in Europe)? All I’ve heard is possibly 15 in EMRE LT and 10 in EMRE FPO. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard back from any of my former colleagues. — read more

When is GP going to hear anything? Is it really about 40%? Pretty nervous over here.

No matter how good the people under are, they are restricted by the people above them. Good workers are hampered by poor management. Good management is handcuffed by poor executives. Good ideas are left to die by poor leadership. When the focus... — read more 

Involuntary list published yesterday - Communicators should be notifying everyone today and tomorrow. The org chart will be published later, as that work is still being developed.

People seem to be certain everybody company-wide will be notified by tomorrow. Where is that coming from? Did I miss an announcement or something?

I want to start by saying thank you for the opportunity to work for this company the past few years. I count them as valuable years that I do not regret spending with you. I leave the company today with my head held high knowing that I did the job I... — read more

Curious to know cl and age/experience of those that don't make it. Any trend?

Any domestic or international rotators get told anything yet? Nothing yet on my team.

Anyone know numbers for EMRE?

Hi all, I was PIPed unexpectedly in July. I started my new job at a Fortune 30 company yesterday and am loving it. There is life after Exxon and it’s pretty good. You WILL find a job! Every person I’ve talked to who has left Exxon over the... — read more 

It is getting harder and harder to maintain my motivation as a USA based IT employee. The focus is purely on moving more and more work to GBCs. I was hoping to stay for a career, but now I'm thinking it is time to continue focusing on upskilling and... — read more 

Anybody learn anything today yet?

To prolong the agony!

I'm trying to remain hopeful but how? What other options are there in a week when long-announced layoffs are starting? Plese, let me know if you have any idea what it could be. Because I highly doubt anybody will be discussing a raise with their... — read more 

Instead of inbreeding, bring a new CEO from outside with different perspectives and fresh ideas. Fire the existing management and install a fresh one. That is the only solution!

Or will they spread it out? Several coworkers received invitations for a private meeting with our manager and they're resigned to the fact that that's it for them. What I'd like to know is, if our department has already been hit, does it mean we are... — read more 

Its sad to see XTO losing so many folks in these turbulent times and unfair layoffs. I call it unfair because RTD has these teams called Grand Challenges to supposedly solve our Permian problems. Dozen of phDs with no clue of what they are doing... — read more

What have you learned about yourself from all this? What are you going to do different in the future?

What are you prioritizing in your job search? Compensation? Work environment? Moving closer to family? Mission of organization? What are your deal breakers?

Are you feeling financially prepared for layoff? Will you be able to span period of unemployment? How long do you think it will take to find a job?

Usually I am asleep before my head hits the pillow. Work hard play hard. Not so much tonight.

This has been cooking so long that it has lost shock value. My zoom meeting is on Thursday. If they tell me I am laid off, should I act like I am shocked? Or just show no emotion? I want to hold my head high and walk away with dignity. What type... — read more 

Heard from some colleagues today that they were blocked from posting on this site for almost a week. If this site is really anonymous, how can they block you?

How TF is it possible to be laying off individual contributors while they have an easy 10 SLS above heads!? DHs are litterally trying to find “something” for these people to do! Waste of money

Will of course be heart-warming! But will it ever happen?

Hoping managers on this board can shed some light. Which employees will they communicate to first? The ones that are laid off or the ones that are safe?

Has anyone found out already?

So I saw during the PIP layoffs folks use the Skype status to leave a message for everyone. You can leave a personal email or phone number. If I’m let go a :( face will be place there and my new personal email address. If I don’t get... — read more

If you're in HR do you have a zoom meeting with yourself? Do you create the forms, print them out, and sign all boxes? Do you ask yourself if you have any questions? Do you email yourself letting you know that "the deed has been done?"

Just had to go for a walk to get my mind off this clusterf—k. Witnessed a massive, tragic accident. Someone just lost a lot more than their job.

Any insight as to whether more contractors will be getting the axe as well? I know it has been mentioned that contractors may replace employees in some aspects (you know, because they’re cheaper and unworthy of Exxon benefits🙄), but wasn’t sure if... — read more
