Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Depends on how many executives and managers are under the age of 52..... because ages 52 & up are a protected class. In typical Exxon fashion, Mgmt published a "one size fits all" program that does not address the re-org that will have to accompany these layoffs. So 20-30 year employees, who have worked to get into new leadership positions will take the fall for the existing leadership class with 30+ years experience who brought us to this fiasco.

My manager went for a non-managerial position just a few days ago.

There will be executives let go.

The question will be how many CL 28 and CL 29 Managers will be selected given that managers comprise the top half of every CL 28-29 rank list in the company and individual contributors comprise the bottom half of the list?

Will CL 28-29 Managers escape the cuts due to their privileged ranking position or will they and their bloated salaries be fairly included in the selections?

Objectively, a smaller organization doesn’t need nearly as many middle managers. We’ll see.

The July pips included management. I personally know of several that were told to retire. Including executive level.

The problem is not the top nor middle management.. it’s the workers! PIP 50% of the employees population out and we will be 500% better! Not tough!

More layoff is required now that Biden wins.. why.. because we have Darren Woods as our CEO! Got to get him out already!

The mid level managers that do not need the money will retire, I have heard many retired in first go round. Most of those not at retirement will be offered non-management jobs or let go, it will be ugly for them also.

The only organization that is “saving” a President is exploration (UBD) by having the UIS one do both. So maybe, geoscience in UBD will be disproportionately affected by cuts and rolled into one “flatter”, merged organization.
Paper pushers, time sheet controllers, and those who hold the line will not be terminated; instead they will be moved around to continue do damage now on the technical side.

The cabal protects its own!

During the PIP exercise, it appeared that supervisors and managers were well protected. Only PIPs in my department were worker bees.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens with the layoffs as well.

Exxon needs cash flow so cutting a few young or lower CL employees isn’t going to do that.

Nope. There will be management position eliminated and then those managers will be moved into slots occupied by axed worker bees.

Only F&L at sites. The whole gambit is in play at spring. It's going to be a shakeup there.

Not sure what it takes for them to say that with a straight-face and with no compunction!

In fuels and lubes a manager mentioned it was only going to be CL 20-26 folks

Actually, in the first round, where people got PIPed ignominiously, it was mentioned that 1,600 people got the NSI-label.

Now it is 1,900. Total is 3,500 (though some may have passed the PIP).

If a Divisional manager typically has 100-employees, then, 35 Divisional managers must be axed.

But we will hear of no one getting cut - the ecosystem is so corrupt that it punishes only the worker-bees.

I would, for sure, would like to see VPs, Divisional managers, Department Heads Nd Group-heads getting axed - just to give them the taste of their own medicine!

It should be proportional so employees will feel like leaders are doing the right thing but will it be? We shall see.

As some will say: Lock them up, lock them up, lock them up,.....

All the maths are good.
Clearly - now that it's conceded EM is a Commodity company, up to 50% of the rumored 'Management' Class can be let go.
Talking entire mid-level classes.
You need the Massa, the Overseer and the Whippers.
That's about it in the Commodity biz.

Dude. It clearly states management is apart of these 1900 cuts. Even executives are fair game.

No.
