Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Offered job in India for 80% pay cut

A friend was caught up in the Leatherhead England layoff. My friend was hired in UK, and has both UK and Indian citizenship. He was told he could take the redundancy offer or if wanted to stay with EM, could take a similar position in India with an 80% pay cut.

I have seen situations where EM employees were transferred to foreign countries without expat benefits when they had to go to that country for personal reasons, but never heard of an 80% salary cut.

So many UK only passport holders get transferred to India with Expat pay increases but just for the fact he has an Indian passport he gets offered 80% less salary. Seems to be systematic discrimination based on National Origin.

He probably has uk work visa not citizenship. XOM is trying retain him he will be paid based on local HR rules (Market value for his performance and CL). I assume the offer was a low ball to get him to leave if he in in bottom half of RG and low potential and his role is changing and he must be re-trained (essentially a new hire)

Both UK and Indian citizenship? Really?
Your friend is either incompetent inaccurate or a total fraud. Indian laws do not allow dual citizenship. If a desperate should take citizenship elsewhere, they need to renounce Indian citizenship right away. It is not an option but a Law.

This is besides the point. But know that your Indian friend is worthy of imprisonment.

@OP the important word being"similar". We all know the exact job is being ported to India, but that might contravene UK employment laws
