Does anyone know how many work related COVID cases there are according to MOH? Id there a dashboard with this info? Several people i know have tested positive and all said MOH decided it was not work related despite strong evidence that it was work related. Is some managers bonus on the line if it is labeled work related?

Most of the cases are not being reported. I know several who have tested positive and did not report the results to MOH. Getting COVID during this time puts a target on your back. XOM doesn’t want employees reporting their positive results bc they don’t want to be legally liable. We’ve had hundreds with COVID in our building (Houston campus) but they were only claiming 8 total cases in our building. MOH counts the campus COVID cases the same way the Pennsylvania ballots were counted.
:(
They won’t count it as work related if they can find any possible excuse, for example if you have left the office building at any time in the two weeks prior.
You could have prevented the paper cut! F— you! You injured them!
This is the b–tard company where managers, supervisors and VPs were telling us to record discuss paper cuts. Safety was above everything.
ExxonMobil is the worst place that I have ever seen. By association anyone who works here is pathetic and an a ho. I am out as soon as I can.
Dashboard shows more than 9 in Midland unless you are talking 9 cases in a single week
Does contracting COVID at work count as a workplace injury? Flu doesnt count, you never see any lost time injuries for flu. Im curious.
There have been a lot of cases on Houston Campus but so far the weekly reports have said only two were actually transmitted on campus when employees had a meeting in close proximity with no masks.
There have been a handful that MOH has owned up to, but that data would need to be calculated by going into every Tuesday report since they’ve started to be released. The problem is that the criteria to define it as workplace transmission involves the two people working 6 ft apart for more than 15 mins. Never mind the fact that COVID particles have been scientifically proven to linger in the air such that people working in the same area for 8 hours would easily breathe in those particles.
Over the summer there was a ton of in workplace transmission, anecdotally. To me it seems like enough people called them out on the hypocrisy that first time around that they stopped overtly pressuring employees. Has that changed?
Since they sent us back home during the summer, I haven’t been on the receiving end of any pressure to be in the office. Does this differ group to group?
@ftx+185es9y2 I am a real employee. I can find total cases but I want to know how many MOH is saying are WORK RELATED you goon. Read to the end.
At the Midland Office, 9 cases, total. That's what I knew last week.
I believe managers/supervisors rankings are going to be impacted if they cannot drag people on to the campus. Therefore the willful disregard to health and safety.
Any cases discovered will be blamed on the employees contact/behavior outside of campus.
XOM continues to drop to new depths everyday.
OP, it’s easy to find if you are a real employee...Business Insider troll. Be gone!
Has XOM owned up to any COVID cases? Before I got axed, I was in a group that got heavily infected with COVID (half of the workroom/team). Despite this, MOH never claimed that it was XOM's responsibility and that we were instead all infected outside of work. Their criteria were absolutely ridiculous. If you were anywhere other than campus or at home (grocery store, etc.), they claimed that there was plausible deniability.
@uki+185es9y2, sure. That’s not the way it works.
“Employees should use their best judgement”
Document any findings along these lines - and recommend the same to others.
OSHA is coming back and it ain't gonna be pretty for XOM.
