Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

EM hires some of the best engineers from great Universities...I've been in meetings with folks talking about eliminating potential candidates because they had a 3.8 GPA vs a 4.0. We have boat loads of smart folks. But they think we are stupid enough not to figure out that 90% passing PIP doesn't include all the ones who took PIP and bailed? I know folks who were "encouraged" to take the PIP bc chances were low to they would NOT pass or were told "best to go head and retire". It is insulting.

If you go into a PIP retirement eligible, you don’t lose the pension if you fail the PIP. Your retirement date becomes the end date of the failed PIP. What they are really going for is the psychology of busting your butt for the last three months of your career potentially for nothing. The alternative is a 3 month paid vacation to start your retirement. Which would you choose?

#WINNING. WE ARE DARREN WOODS EXXONMOBIL.

Also let’s remember that if a Retirement Eligible employee is put in NSI, they can theoretically choose to do the PIP, but if they fail they loose the pension. Obviously no sane person would take that risk in order to work one more year, even if they have to retire with as little as 75% of the normal pension. These people count simply as retired, they are absolutely excluded from the overall fake 90% “pass” percentage. That also tells you what happens with the pension benefit. Some people are afraid the benefit itself is going away or it’s not fully funded; no need for that. With the exception of the “dear leaders”, nobody will survive long enough to get a pension, let alone a full pension.

If it is that good, just volunteer for the PIP this year

The PIP results as propangandized on the recent Kool aid video were tabulated using the same data analysis that told us Kearl, XTO, stock buybacks, Singapore, Brazil, leveraging to pay dividends, and the Infamous "Lean Into Strategy" were great deals that deserved us wasting billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars on.

I just watched the video and the results are definitely not true.
With the moral we have for sure this is not true.

This is an example why people are leaving. Exxon does not assume what is going on.

My boss just gave his 2 weeks notice today and told our group to find a job. He had 20+ years of work.

DW thought, "Well, since people have been believing in Q, this is just peanuts. Let's start the propaganda machine."

UNBELIEVABLE mouth open gasping

This is screwed up

Management made is so very difficult for some employees to succeed that they chose to leave. For example, is it “normal” for someone on a PIP to be required to keep of an hourly log of where they are and what their working only to have to meet with the Supervisor at the end of the day. Yes, every day even when the majority was working from home this employee had to come into the office. The Supervisor came into the office to escape the wife and kids and was away from his desk 75% of his time. The employee felt the daycare atmosphere was too much and tossed in the towel. How was this employee calculated into those measurements? Unbelievable how the once top O&G companies has succumbed to this nonsense!

A heavily filtered dataset can and often will lend itself to whatever message one wants to spin. The 90% is calculated from the population that stayed for the whole three month PIP. Folks that immediately took the PIL when initially told of the PIP and people that dropped out of the PIP before the three month evaluation window don't count here as fully experiencing the PIP process. Therefore, they are all excluded from the PIP math and that's why the 90% success rate of folks passing the PIP is being advertised. Also note it wasn't advertised how many folks were subsequently let go in the involuntary lay offs the following quarter.

How do you think they got the 90% number?

By not counting the people who resigned? As in, only counting the people they actually fired at the very very end and counting all the people who resigned or found other work as “success”?

If PIPs were best for employees, then even a dumbest person at XOM would think that why the company would "require" managers to nominate "8%* of their employees to PIP knowing "90%" of those will pass it. If this was true why waste time, energy, and money on this already rigged process. So the question is (1) who is the id–t that came up with this new process, (2) which HR leader came up with this great idea of spreading this "90%" pass rate as misinformation and (3) who the hell in CLO even dared to put this fakeness into a training package and then made it a mandatory training. You see, the people involved in 1, 2, and 3 are the true resources and money wasters at XOM, when they should be preserving the cash they are having party spending money on something that promotes their agenda and not the agenda of company's shareholders, investors, employees, or customers.

• and after all this some of you are still asking whether you should quit or not. And kudos to those Darren Wooders and Koolaid drinkers for turning against your own peers. Insanity at its peak at this company. Even jesus can't do anything now. What the f— you all have turn XOM into? A wh–e? Disguisting!
