Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

PIP updates?

There are 3 weeks left in the PIP. I have not gotten a firm indication from my supervisor on my PIP.....whether I will pass or not.
Interested to know what others on PIP have heard from their supervisors.

@3sey+17mOXN96 - did your PIP start on July 12th? I thought most PIPs started on Aug 1st.

Getting this thread back on topic. To the OP my supervisor and I had our last meeting today. I’ve meet the expectations set and have passed. She’s starting the final paperwork to say this and told me to keep the momentum going. She also said everyone needs to give 110% because she feels the next round maybe brutal but next rating session will be just as bad but with the projects I’ve now down I’m in a better place than others.

If I survive the supposed layoffs coming I’m keeping my self visible and over communicating everything! 5 years to go fingers crossed to 55!

This fake winner mentality is precisely our problem. Creating PowerPoint decks that say “we are winning” doesn’t mean we are winning.
We need to acknowledge we are losing and do what is needed to fix it.

Good luck with that mentality! Hope you were PIP'd because the company does not need your loser mentality.

@1vrn+17mOXN96 - you appear to be a manager/supervisor drunk on XOM kool aid. Our butt has been kicked by CVX for a few years now. They generate shareholder value while we waste time creating PowerPoint decks.

And you are playing the short term game. Yes, cvx is good while the markets are down, but they won't be for longer term.

@1djf+17mOXN96 - not too late. You can switch to PIL at anytime. But you get paid for whatever is remaining. That is, if your PIP was supposed to end on Oct 31, you will be paid the remaining 3 weeks and unused vacation.

Friend on PIP was let go last week with zero warning. No one is safe, y’all. I advise everyone gets out as soon as possible.

Those of you pip'd need to see the big picture, company is sinking and like in the titanic you are housed in the bottom deck. You know what happens first.

I think the pip process was rigged but it's OK xom will get karma for their deception. Just wait, the market will take care of them.

@bql+17mOXN96, surely, that is 1.5 weeks for every year of service? I know I saw a previous comment somewhere that someone said 1.5 months for every year of service. I think it's weeks.

I have a coworker who passed this week. He moved to our team back in May, so old supervisor NSI'd him and new supervisor oversaw the PIP.

Don't let the naysayers sway you the wrong way, the PIP is passable (been confirmed with multiple supervisors/managers I know and trust). If you didn't receive a mid-term letter, and as long as you've kept producing above and beyond, there is no reason you won't be passed. As for what the layoffs have in store, it's anyone's guess.

As a supervisor I was in a group meeting with HR and was told if the percentage passing PIP was high the bar and expectations had not been set high enough. I would love to see the data of how many pass each year and then what happens to them in subsequent years.

Future PIL? A second PIP and you are walked to the door. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Or anything. And for most, unless you get a change in your position, or the right-sizing consultants axe some of your bosses, you are destined for a swift repeat on the NSI list and out.

I expect around 20-30% of PIPs to survive to demonstrate that it was not a lay-off but an honest performance based exercise. These people though will be permanently marked, candidates for future PILs.
Does it make sense to stay? Everybody has their reasons.
But at least if they survive, there is a small chance to take the package if there is one.

If you’re on PIP, you’re doomed. Prepare for what’s next—trust me.

If supervisors are appreciative of the effort of its employee during the assessment cycle, they would not put you in PIP, can dream a bit until the final PIP outcome is out. Company and the supervisors have deceived you, you think they will be impressed with your 3 months PIP performance over the years of service you have put in the company.

Stay and wait for the “good news”, the pst standard EM had been paying is 1.5 month for each year of service with a cap of 30 months. That will be so sweet! I’ll take it! And retire well!

Is there any point to stay in the company even you passed the PIP? Asking as I am considering whether to throw in the towel now given this PIP would be a stain on my career in XOM. Why bother to go through this at all if I will be ranked lower permanently in future cycles. Might as well start to find a better job elsewhere...

People in Singapore should be safe. High rate of passing PIP. Since EM had been in the watchlist since the employees got the manpower ministry involved. Cost to rehire and onboard will impact the bottomline further hence I expect many employee here to pass.. Next should be the official layoffs..

@aqu+17mOXN96 Your supv and manager must be very nervous by now because the intent is reduce workforce. It's either them or you. What I mean is they will fail to reduce headcount if you stay, so it's going to look bad on their part. Next thing they know, they will be on the PIP list next year. And you are already marked PIP'd yourself, forever, during your entire career at XOM. Anyhow, good luck.

Is Nov 1 the date for final PIP decisions/layoffs?

The signs of my pip are positive. No mid point letter and only positive comments. I’ve been early or on time for all objectives that had due dates. Unless I’m blindsided I believe I’ve made it. My supervisor told me no one is telling him what to do either. So it looks like it may truly be only their decision.

It’s possible the supervisors saying it’s not just them are doing it to make themselves feel better for letting people go.
