Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

More mid-level career folks leaving

Thought it was only the newer hires 5 years that we’re leaving, but seeing a trend of folks with 10-20 years in their mid career leaving as well, especially with EMIT.

Anyone seeing similar?

@2maf+1adrrpqa You really think it’s different here than at other O&G companies, or Auto manufacturers, or Pharma, and so on? What business says they want to keep employees in the US at 3x the cost of those on the GBCs? What’s DW logic.

IT folks are leaving for IT companies.

The company has made it clear that EMIT is not a value add and is going to offshore the whole thing. So leave......

The entire company has turned into one big sh– show. It is not the same company.

Glad for the EMIT folk.
I'd always heard working 5 years in EM IT puts you 10 years behind in technology skills.
And worse in some positions, like project management and agile structuring.

Best luck to them!

More to continue to leave as the economy starts doing better. I'd take a pay cut to leave the exxonmobil BS.

Look, it’s pure disrespect when a company makes people leave through pipe I’d rather be straight laid off, and be given to me straight. I will never doesn’t xom.

Over the past 6 months I’ve lost count of the number of experienced personnel that quit to leave for greener pastures. I can’t believe we laid off people on top of that and now are going to NSI/PIP another 8%. I’m at a US manufacturing site.

DW must be happy because the plan is working, unfortunately!

Gotta go where you can grow. It’s also nice to be appreciated and have camaraderie with your boss and team.

It's easier for newer folks to find comparable compensation, and also easier for them to move to a new location, so they are generally able to find a new job with just a month or two of looking. More experienced employees have to wait a bit longer for the right opportunity to come along, but that doesn't mean that they're looking any less..

Yup, and guaranteed there’s more on the way as the job market ramps up, there are companies specifically targeting ExxonMobil people to recruit
