It’s going to come down like dominos

Attrition is at an all time high across this company, and is starting to very rapidly accelerate. It’s going to come down like dominos. People see what’s going on and are not going to sacrifice for a non existent stake in this failing company culture. This will become clearer with the elimination of ESC.

ExxonMobil is driven by a small clique of out of touch, and delusional management at the top that’s bought into this cult of KLTC whether out of self serving interest and/or deep ignorance . Your dept. head can’t save you. Your refinery manager can’t save you. Brad Corson has no meaningful power.

There are no pay increases coming. No meaningful promotions that will empower you to make a difference. And on top of that the company is falling over itself to plug in KLTC/BTC so management can put it on their PDS because they have no clue on actually creating value or how compete!!

Stuff. Is. Grim.

KL and BTC has attrition just as bad as Houston and any of the sites. Who wants a sh---y wage with cr---y working hours and no clear career progression? The idea that there is plenty of low cost employees in that part of the world is just plain ignorance of what the company is doing.

Who would have thought that with globalization that high quality employees in that area are also paid similarly to people stateside? Exxonmobil has stopped trying to hire the best and brightest because that is expensive and has resorted to throw bodies at the problem. No, there are plenty of very intelligent people in India, Malaysia and they see through our low balling bu-----t. Somehow, our current strategy is very reminiscent of 18th century colonialism. Only our d-mb leadership seem to think that offshoring labor to developing countries is a sound strategy.

Leaderships attempt to outsourcing labor is another high cost failed initiative on their part. At some point, the house of cards are going to come crumbling down and this company will sink faster than the Titanic.

@2fjn Any way some of us can see those slides? After being involuntarily laid off, this has got to be popcorn worthy.

Thanks for sharing. The direct link doesn’t work but would encourage all to just type “NA Refining Employee Retention” on intranet search. Save a local copy of the ppt in case it gets taken down publicly - I honestly didn’t believe why this was made public anyway some of the responses from management are appalling but answer a lot of questions.

Long story short, US sites see retention as an extremely significant issue that’s not sustainable, and our current business isn’t doing anything great to support it. Some sh-t talking on executives, love it.

Proper use of LPS is pushing, driving, and helping people to look for jobs. We’ve assessed, analyzed, now we’re acting.

One of my favourite comments from the SharePoint link below courtesy of Billing’s refinery:

“People aren’t stupid. They see the writing on the wall. They can do the math and see where we’re headed. Any comment to the contrary is seen as disingenuous.”

I'd be curious too.

Curious what attrition and culture is like at your site, check out this SharePoint link. Love how upper management spins KLTC TMTS as a great success even though the feedback from every site is consistent on the ground. Not value added. Counterproductive.
