Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Remember all those as5h0les posting about the layoff, parroting back a chain, all about “letting me know how can I help”.
Did any actually follow through?
I ask, because I saw a couple of irritating posts from M. woke Deal about the quality of food managers and things s/he has no clue about.
And the response of as5lickers was nauseating.

I bet none has ever told that a-h0le how bad at his job he really is. None has provide an honest evaluation telling him how much he lacks in leadership and how detested is he by his underlings. None has conveyed to him that his ideas are stupid, that his grasping of technical issues in digital is infantile, and that he fools nobody with his pretension to care.

S/he is one of those truly cunning - not naive, or ill-informed- Blatantly disgusting and borderline evil.

You’re lying about the changes to the system. It used to be that experienced workers would rank lower and lower late in their career, just so the young supervisors and managers could get ahead in this fake ranking.
Now they use that artificial low ranking for older technical people to put them in PIP and force them to retire. Your management propaganda repeats again that the PIP is “easy to pass” but you know well that anybody who’s RE will retire early rather than take the PIP. While you’re lying maybe you care to explain why are we even having the oversized, endless PIPs - come on, just tell us the line in your instructions, “it’s for our good”.
The company has broken the deal it has respected for decades and will pay the price for it. Maybe you expect some goodies in return for your cheap management propaganda, but remember that the company will sp-t you out whenever it wants. Your time will come sooner than you think.

They recently changed how much you can move in a single year and increased the percentage in PIP. They also made PIP much easier to pass in most cases this year. People have always been placed in PIP and it has always been a relative forced ranking. So yes I say many were good with system until they drew the short end of the stick.

@ajj+1dttVXPY are you drunk? That's not the system now. It changed last year for worse. We're you sleeping when it didn't change last year and are clueless?

ajj+1dttVXPY
Few words for you
we can’t stupid.
If you are that happy at EM why not spend this time getting better at your job. Or job is to monitor this site and post here?

We are the #XOMbies!

@tfu+1dttVXPY

That is the system though right? And has always been the system. Many who complain about it now were fine with it when they were ranked well. Didn’t bother them to see others PIPd

@hwp+1dttVXPY another incompetent, ill-informed koolaid drinker you are.

@tky+1dttVXPY so basically, you are justifying stealing and in the process supporting company's unethical behaviors. Just like how employees can't keep company's property, the company can't keep an employees property either, especially after not availing them an opportunity for pick up. One sick ba----d you are.

@tky+1dttVXPY
Damn employees ! They dare to turn their cubes in something more than a prison cell and then they dare to complain the company throws away their belongings!
I’m sure the managers’ nice individual offices are also devoid of any personal belongings, because they’re also afraid they might be escorted out at any time.

@ahb+1dttVXPY
“It’s a relative ranking” and “somebody has to be at the bottom” because that’s the idi_otic system chosen by the company, a system that serves the parasites at the top.
If you want to fulfill your duty of posting comments flattering to EM, you should improve the quality… as it is, you’re definitely a low performer in a$$ ki$$ing !

@coq+1dttVXPY

What were you keeping at your desk that was so important you could be without it for months while WFH?

Let me share a lesson with those who have only worked at ExxonMobil. Only bring in items you can live without. My family photo in my desk is a color copy of the real photo. I can literally walk out with the clothes on my back and not be out of anything. Some people decorate their offices like it is an extension of their home. The switch to cubes should have been a clue to you. Some locations don’t even have assigned cubes. Don’t bring personal stuff to work.

Most people are not naive, job at EM is everything for them and they don’t care about others. People stoop pretty low for a job in this company. You can guess that from some posts in this thread. This was the worst environmental I was in where most everyone hate each other. Can’t praise their colleagues for good job. I find it so funny some of these team leads/ supervisors trying to promote/lift these incompetent/unethical people and only reason they have the job is because of them but these people still be bi-----g about them. Incompetent/unethical people don’t have anybody’s back.

In my experience, which I will be downvoted for but it’s the truth, the people we let go of should have been PIPed years ago. I’m not saying that’s how the whole company is, but that’s how it was for the people I know. And in those cases they knew it was coming and that they were going to be the ones to go. We never treated them differently, our L3 rotates who he takes to lunch each week and they weren’t skipped over. Actually one of them we still invite to lunch sometimes on fridays. Again, I’m not saying the entire company was this way, but I know a lot of people who were let go of who deserved it but were treated with respect.

I’m not sure where you got the “no contact” idea from HR, but that was either never communicated to us or more likely just simply not true.

I didn't even get all of my belongings back from my desk (because I was laid off working from home and not allowed on campus), except a water bottle and even that not until April. My supervisor had an audacity to tell me there was nothing else on my desk to send back. When asked him to take and send pictures he sent pictures of a desk that was recently cleaned out and looked shiny. No accountability on why the desk was cleaned out before gathering my belongings to sending it back. When challenged, he blamed on admin that was no longer there. And I am still out of my belongings.

@nkr+1dttVXPY

It is a relative ranking. Someone has to be in the bottom. That is the system. Are you saying someone else on your team deserved the bottom but you didn’t or that no one should be in the bottom?

@vgg+1dttVXPY oh so you are playing along with the #WeAreExxonMobil bandwagon? If so, l then I guess we merely below average and not claimed gold standard, yeah? Thanks for your honesty.

You’re surprised the customer experience was poor? Is this your first time interacting with a large bureaucracy? Almost every time I go to the doctor the insurance company and dr office mess up the claim. Not saying it is right but not surprising either.

It’s easy to deal with (4). When you return company property, you take pictures of everything you’re returning as you’re returning it, and you get someone (anyone) employed by the company to sign something saying it was returned.

The way to avoid any and all issues listed by the OP is to quit on your terms, because that way you control your exit from the organization.

@pbr+1dttVXPY so basically you are saying that since everyone else out there is unethical doing a business we should also be like them, be unethical? If yes, stop talk about ethics in the meetings, business practice conversations. Disillusioned id--t is what you are.

Excellent post. I just want to say that there are no naive people at EM, everybody knows exactly what happened and what continues to happen. The “protected” class, the managers and HiPos, who sell their souls for a promotion, couldn’t care less. Now they’re busy rubbing salt on other people’s wounds by posting “positive” garbage here and on LI.
The regular employees are either silent and cowed or they go in overdrive to ki$$ as much a$$ as possible. I’ve got one in my group who does that not only to management but even to the HiPos, obviously with an eye to the distant future. When we have a workroom talk, that person always finds deep wise reasons behind any madness that comes down the pipe, just to make sure there’s no possible blemish on their record.
The atmosphere is suffocating. Time to move on.

@pbr+1dttVXPY mgmt. strikes back, eh! No one expects cuddles and no one expects lies either. Either stay quiet or stop posting lies to cover up the mess ups. Simple as that. I guess people like you love making everything complex unnecessarily and then rush to mgmt. claiming you have a solution to get forward in the PDS race. #winning

A layoffee here and this post brings back some of the bad (but true) memories back. OP thanks for your post and showing the solidarity even though you seem to have remain on board unaffected like a lot of us.

Sounds pretty standard for any large company. Not sure what you were expecting. The world is a tough place. You want cuddles go home to your mom.
