Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

goto/usmlrp on the intranet has answers to a lot of your questions (make sure to click and read the links at the bottom of the page too, which have more info).

After you are assessed NSI, you have the option to take either the PIP or PIL (note: NREs have a separate DPC process). If you are under 40 you have 7 days to decide, while 40+ have 21 days. If you elect the PIP the earliest it can start it is Aug 15th and it lasts 3 months.

Personally, at your age, I would start looking elsewhere. 10-15 years is a long time to try to ride this out given how aggressively they are trying to cut jobs in Houston. The higher CL you rise, the more of a Hunger Games it becomes.

Okay many if my past co workers have hone through this so I am privy to their experience. When nsi you are piped within 2 weeks. Pip lasts 3 months. You can document everything but exxon can say you did not communicate or speak up enough. You can try to fight it but the exxon holds the power. I know employees that passed pip and some that did not. It is all up to the boss. They will assure you that you will pass. If they make it easy and passable you will stay. If they make it hard and impossible then you are out. Most of the younger employees leave because of the lost growth that will follow a pip. Pip pass rate is high but you could be one that fails. Older folks usually retire instead of pip. If your boss wants you to do well and pass you usually will but if they have it out for you goodbye. Exxon is not a good company for employees piped in their forties. You are the danger zone and not protected by age yet.
J was good gir many years and when I entered mg 50s I started dropping. Everything I did was not good enough and wrong. They moved me to a dysfunctional group with a micromanaging supervisor. My ranking drop to ni then nsi. I have the protection of nre and am subject to only dpc instead of pip. I have another year or 2 before I am retirement eligible. I don't think my bosses want me to stay but they have to deal with me a few more years. If i am piped at 55 I will retire. I am financially secure and ready. So if you are young get out and if you are older stay. In the middle it's a tough decision because you have time in but not enough. I say in your early 40s leave before you are you old. Late 40s try to stay by all costs because once 50 it is hard to get a job. So good luck in the game. Remember with the pip requirements most employees will be piped at least once. Everyone has to take a turn except the untouchable hipos favs. I have seen the best workers piped while the worst were protected by management.
