Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

The pay duration is the same for both (3 months).

If you take the PIL, you’ve also voluntarily left the company, so no unemployment payments for you.

Probably looks better from a next employer perspective to take the PIP and start looking for a new job since you are still employed and you have a backup of unemployment payments if you don’t find a new job in 3 months. If you already have a firm job lined up, then take the PIL.

If you are pipped.....it's much better to just sit on your a-s and wait for the payout......

There's rarely a U turn on your ranking after that.

Take the PIL. Or retire.

PIP is a set up most of the time. They want you gone. Imagine the treatment you would receive while going through a PIP.

Good luck.

Some people are already starting to go through the process of notifications this week. Does anyone know what is driving the timeline up

Feedback should happen in July; decisions should be made in August and PIP/PIL usually goes in to effect by early September. Duration for both is 3 months, or ~90 days. If you take the PIP, you’ll find out if you passed and still have a job right around Thanksgiving. If you take the PIL, your benefits expire then, and you receive your vacation payout (all that you have earned + accrued) to that point within December. Excellent timing; Merry Christmas, Tiny Tim.

If you go on the PIP, your manager should set up measurable goals to achieve, and there are periodic check points for the next 90 days to see how well you are tracking. If you pass, business as usual, but now you’ve got a huge black mark next to your name. If you don’t pass, you are terminated from the company.

Either way, it is a craptastic position to be in and your career growth @ EM is essentially over.
