BTC employee here. In my section 12 people out of 25 have resigned and left the company since January this year. With 50% attrition why is my "expat" supervisor not piped yet??? He's still awarding pips to an already extremely shrunken section. God save this company.

Let’s be clear, there is no real plan to manage the BTC and effectively untrained and use resources there. You expat supervisor has no idea either and may not have technical skill in your specific task.
XOM is clueless about operating in India. Do not believe anything you are told about opportunities. The company wants your low cost labor and that is it. You will not go on assignment and only 10-20% of the BTC work force will advance to more responsibility and most will leave for a better global opportunity not with XOM
XOM is in transition and turmoil it will take 3-5 years for a new equilibrium to develop. You own your life and career not the company.
Good luck and think carefully about what u do next.
Of course there is no discrimination in this company. Just look at the people that make all the decisions. You see so many women, black and ethnic people and white American male are not predominant at all.
@gxe+1cl6WaNt wrong. HR checks in the rank session that there isn’t bias towards any particular group or supervisor in the rankings.
What the he-l are you talking about? Who is hiring you people? Do you think at all or do you have chewing gum for a brain instead? What power do you think the supervisor has? What do you think their decision power is?
Is this array of id--tic postings the last attempt by HR to break this site by turning everybody away?
Seems like your supervisor is on the way for promotion actually. He seems to understand very well his job and align his team to corporate objetives: reduce workforce and create attrition to lower payroll costs. First line supervisors are just puppets of managers, which are puppets of their managers and so on. It’s a pyramid scheme full of greedy individuals who will do anything for a chance to climb up to the top one day.
You likely have a weak and young first time supervisor, it’s a numbers and political game. A weak supervisor will get run over in the rank sessions.
Those HR freeloaders had milked our organisation and took the golden parachutes for themselves. Really useless people.
Maybe because HR sets the salary and benefits policies... And the PIP/PIL goals.
Your 1st line supervisor really has no strategic power.
Good news, we fired 1/2 of HR last year!
Once you are a supervisor, you can do no wrong. Same for my S&OP manager. I have learnt to be at peace with incompetence.
