So I’ve heard from a reliable source that careerconnect skills will play (or already has played) a role in the involuntary selection process. What happens to those who forgot to update it this year? Are they getting supervisor blessing or input on... — read more 

Anyone know what skills are critical and how long-term fit with Exxon’s core values will be measured?

It’s a big number, so I’m sure a lot of us are going to be very surprised. Hope everyone is prepared, and even though this odd criteria makes it feel personal - it’s not. It’s a company in financial trouble and lot of people will just be in the wrong... — read more 

As the title reads.. Anyone know anything? I figured it would be paid out along with this last check, but it looks like mine didn't.

And which function are you in? Thanks!

While the layoffs really s— and we’re all frustrated with senior management, I’d encourage us to have some empathy for the managers/supervisors caught in the middle of this. Many of them genuinely care about their teams and are told they have to... — read more

If you were on PIP and pass in October/November and then get laid off on Dec 1, are you still eligible for the involuntary package? That is, do you get the severance, out placement and health coverage?

Has anyone heard about the HQ in Dallas moving to the Houston campus?

Big push in my division to send work to BTC (Bangladesh). Managers are being “graded” on this. Lots of PIP’d people had their work transferred there. Is this the real EM goal?

The big picture: Today, ExxonMobil is not even in the top 40 most valuable companies in America. It's losing money, cutting staff, and stretching to maintain an unsustainable dividend. The oil giant's market capitalization of $137 billion... — read more

If I were XOM I would fire you all! 1) You asked EM to work for them, not the other way around (you submitted resume-they did not knock on your door asking you and there were other 100 applicants). They did not force you join. 2) You signed the... — read more 

The assessment will continue to target 8% NSI next year while most of the bottom performers will be already out. Have fun

The rest of the industry has been dealing with layoffs for years. Significant layoffs finally happen at XOM and employees sh– their pants. Just remember, you will probably never have such a cushy job again.

I personally expect to remain with the company as an individual of human resource value indefinitely. Myself: I am simply valuable and irreplaceable in the system. Me and those like me don't like me, but I myself will survive. I have feelings for... — read more 

Any news on the EU severance packages yet? Is the information on the intranet like the US program? Thanks in advance.

I think we all have to come to terms with the fact that the Oil industry is no longer the premium industry to be part of. We can sit here and complain that we are being treated badly, but the remuneration people have received through their careers... — read more 

ExxonMobil UK have decided to bring New Hires into scope for redundancy. Does this contravene the Corporation’s global stance and is there anything that can be done to take them out of scope?

Confused. Are the cuts done?

You can still be laid off without any severance allowance. The only group that is protected by the PIP process and the US country study is the near retirement-eligible group (e.g. age 52-54). You must have at least 12 years of service by Jan 31... — read more

Congrats to all of the retirement eligible employees, especially those that are ready to retire now. Going out the door with a nice cash payment and freedom on the other side of the revolving door.

I’m really curious to know if the Voluntary package has motivated anyone to retire early if they weren’t already considering retiring. IMO, it seems it wouldn’t really encourage anyone to leave when (in the worst case scenario) they can wait... — read more
