Joined 3 years ago. People tell me that prices go up and down, bo-m and bust cycles. That makes sense but it now feels that it'll never go up, almost like this is a systemic change. Not sure, it's just my gut feeling but I wanted to see if people... — read more 

Let's say, in last 40 years - Has there ever been a decision that benefited the employees?

U.S. employers cut nearly 950,000 jobs through September 2025, the highest number of layoffs since 2020, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Cuts could surpass 1 million this year. While still far below the 2 million layoffs in the same... — read more 

It’s disheartening to now know that leadership’s idea of the ideal org size is always smaller. It’s also disheartening to hear many people on this board say similar things - “we could use less of x or y groups.” Makes me wonder if anyone actually... — read more 

Who’s supposed to pay my bills? Has anyone noticed the cost of living skyrocketing? Housing, mortgages, it’s all out of reach. Everywhere I look, there are layoffs. I’ve been trying for almost a year to land something else, just to get ahead. I got a... — read more 

Fear of Donald is what has delayed a 20% layoff in the US. It is inevitable.

Anyone have an educated guess on what is going to happen to all the Denbury folks in the Plano office come November when their 2 years is up? Surely they aren't going to move them all down here when we are cutting so much.

There was supposed to be some sort of big meeting or announcement 10:00 a.m. the other day. What is the news from that?

Let’s not let the government off the hook as they are enabling ExxonMobil and others. They had no problem letting blue collar jobs off shore for cheap products that are “reduced carbon emission” which is a joke in itself. And then letting wages be... — read more

Looks like one less C producer to be sold in the Permian basin. Exxon would benefit from the uplift and diversity of locations.

Care and WAEM at their finest. While announcing mass layoffs they can’t even skip a few days of posting about all the jobs in India. Talk about insensitive and clueless! https://www.linkedin.com/company/exxonmobil-india-careers/

My wife got laid off last month after eight years, we’ve got three kids, and if EM hits me with a layoff too, we’re done. I just want to keep my head down, work, and support my family but that seems impossible right now.

Did you guys see the job market? Was it ever worse than it is now?

If management would drop the past messaging of "hire to retire" and admit that things are different now and then change the compensation structure and corporate language to reflect the current employee/company relationship I would feel respected... — read more

So many attrition tactics are being thrown at us - relocations, PIPs, you name it - which makes it clear they want far more people gone than the 2,000 officially announced. And each one feels like a slow, painful grind, sometimes costly too, only to... — read more

Those of us who were put on PIPs for no reason didn’t even get that.

Folks, the real problem is short-term thinking versus long-term vision. Under the guise of annual PDS reviews, promotions, and showing immediate business value, we’ve completely lost sight of the long-term consequences. This BTC offshoring is just... — read more 

Has anyone seen a single news article that mentions offshoring is what is driving these layoffs? News seems to be totally oblivious in their reporting. #bloomberg #nyt #cbs #abc #nbc #bbc #pbs #npr

They seriously included this in emails about layoffs? I know nobody really bothers reading these anymore but they aren’t even trying anymore.

900 at Imperial Oil, but someone here mentioned a 20% headcount reduction at Exxon Canada besides IO. Does anyone know if a particular area is being targeted, or will the cuts be across the board?
