Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

And now management is working on moving operations roles to a third party as had been done in Guyana by SBM. You haven’t seen anything yet! Where do you think the next step change in cost savings in the Permian is coming from?

I see …

Looks like someone saw the size of the ops membership and became insanely jealous.

@e83 I suppose this part of your PIP? Keep replying to your own post. Time to move on. Don’t be a hater. As I told you in person, just find a better place. You are the same one who goes around in the halls indicating about this site and this page. These kind of childish games are the reason you are where you are in your career. You already overachieved your potential, just keep passing time like you always do, making snarky remarks in meetings. Can’t wait to see you be gone.

I guess it’s true.

@dyr Too much woke leadership…

Too much woke hiring and promoting going on. Maybe leadership should be more in tune with us pumpers.

@dhw and how much do we spend flying in the people from Houston for their couple of hour meetings? Hard to believe some of these people are long term employee and have no clue about the basics of the oil and gas industry.

@dgm fully agree with OP…. We do have managers that they go to field for 30min and brag about it n social media and townhall…

I am in operations and the amount of friction between us and global projects is at an all time high. We used to have some key players at manager level who were good at finding some common ground and also understanding our needs. They would be out in the field late at night during startups shoulder to shoulder with us. They were transferred out though and now we have a bunch of hipo types managing upwards in Houston with no desire to stay long term. Sadly whenever we get a good one it seems the company transfers them out even if they want to stay. The sh-t show continues.

•••All true here ….

wrecked XTO in 3-4 years and soon pioneer under a year….

There were some good ones a few years ago. Of course they were transferred away even the ones that wanted to stay. Wish we could get some of them back.

wrecked pioneer under a year

watching upper management toss out people with 13 and more years of experience just to make numbers look good for NI / NSI it’s crazy. I thought we were past this, but I was wrong. The short-term mindset is going to bite them hard in XTO.

All true here all true

Never seen the incompetence of managers
Like in XTO. It’s all about them

I think most employees became scared in uncon. All driven by few development managers who are extremely toxic and selfish. They self promote people like them.

OP That business unite is a joke.

Uncon is the most toxic place in the company right now. It’s led by toxic selfish leadership. They like to look busy.

All Dev. Managers what a joke these days, they look busy and post in LinkedIn.

I like coming at 9, leaving at 3. You got a problem, make me.

The DEI promotions need to stop. Causing most of these problems. Just because someone is a protected class shouldn’t make them a hipo

Waiting for oil price to crash and then suddenly these HiPos will be out…. Or maybe busy posting in social media

@ax go back to your desk and pretend you are working hard …

is that true? what happens when a supervisor doesnt do well? what is the lowest assessment a supervisor can get?

Supervisors dont get pip’ed. They pip people. It’s always nice to see the leadership walking around, coffee breaks and LinkedIn posts how great they are….

@489 supervisors dont get paid more than ICs.

Leadership there is big joke ……..

I’m busy here posting in LinkedIn..

Firstly they should be called supervisors. Second, worst is the DS(LGBT)QA managers and the BPaSS. They are the worst and don’t know what they do all day. Let’s not forget that the people working are even worse, they have no skills other than drawing type curves or replacing artificial lift pumps. It’s a jungle

Uncon is the most toxic place in the company right now,stay away if you are asked to move.

Incompetent Indian managers who’ll do anything and day anything their masters command.

Some managers spend their day posting in social media how great they are ….

Managers are busy posting in LinkedIn how great they are.

Help us all if true.
How do incompetent managers get chosen? Plus they keep hiring all these experience hires ohhhh boy.
XTO leadership is Such sunflower culture. Rewarding the wrong behaviors for sure.

Are there any XTO RE managers left? Most of the bad ones got washed out years ago or busted down to IC roles.

XTO managements run by RE are sooooooo useless and clueless.

@489 I see you are on of those managers…

@465 you knew what you were getting into when you took the job and are rewarded handsomely.

Assessing people in a forced ranking system can’t be easy. Especially in a competitive population. But let’s trash them on an anonymous board and talk about how THEY are the ones with character flaws. That is the right path forward.
