Heard thru the grapevine that I’m probably on the PIP list. What sucks is that there’s a couple of older guys in our group who are not even close to my skill level. I’ve been told that they’re NRE and therefore pretty much untouchable. Why is this ?

What did you think would happen? If you didn’t realize the math would make people go down I am concerned you should be NSI. It is a freaking forced distribution people. Someone has to be in each bucket. Until the company starts growing again this is the new norm.
I heard the Fair is actually ON this year - might be delayed to september.
I'm a 4-H livestock judge and that's the word.
You THINK you have a better skill set.
They probably know more than you and know how to get things done, rather than sit around complaining.
I don't necessarily agree. I heard lots of good ideas from working level folks that got dismissed by senior managers for BS reasons. There are lots of people that your statement would apply to, but I think there are lots of exceptions as well
Yesterday’s ranking session SUC!
It’s going to be another bloodbath.
The bottom is falling off this clown car.
Don’t know how we’ll function next year.
To anyone that has been at XOM 10+ years you bear some responsibility for the current state of the company. Either you didnt care and didnt offer any suggestions for improvement or you brown nosed your way to keep your job. Either way you are an enabler and an accomplice to the current leadership. XOM needs to get rid of the stale water!
Sorry if you get Pipped. NRE are ‘untouchable’ because XOM wants to avoid age discrimination lawsuits. It’s a valid concern for XOM since it can be argued they fired someone in order to avoid finding retirement benefits. Not saying it is fair but once you are NRE, you will appreciate the protection. Once they are RE, they are fair game. Good luck to you!
Sweet summer child.. Understand that this is a nepotism company. Favoritism is rampant on any companies. These boomers have destoyed this company from within. With your skill set you can move onto FAANG
