I just heard from one of my young friends that he was PIPd. 4.5 years first time in NI. His supervisor said anyone in NI less than 5 years experience is automatically moved to NSI. Can others confirm this is true?

If you are NI or NSI with less than 5 yrs experience year-end then you get option of PIP/PIL. Many times if a less than 5 yr employee is going to land in NI for assessment, the group will move that person down to NSI since they are getting a PIP/PIL anyways - and then potentially a different more than 5 yrs experience employee is spared a PIP/PIL. For most work groups NSI is 5%.
There is also a new “3 strikes” rule where if you get 3 PIPs in 5 years you only get the PIL option.
Had a protected individual on my team this year. Supervisor had them ranked quite low but got a call from above and had to increase rank. Sickening really.
The story about the two stellar protected employees is true. I worked in that group and got sick of covering for them. I transfered out and never had to deal with them again. It was the most humiliating and demoralizing situation. I heard one of the superstars was promoted to a specialist
for doing nothing. It made me sick being around them.
It’s on Emconnect. Search “MLRP”. First link. 3rd bullet point under “Principles.”
This page only has ~2,500 views, so I’m not surprised the majority of our ~60k workforce is not aware of the details.
I’ve never been ranked NI in my career with Exxon but somehow I dropped straight to NSI this time and I’ve been here over 5 years. Wtf!
Only if you are not like or favorited. I Know two stellar employees that did not work for the first 6 years of employment. They were protected from day one. They were called the future of exxon and coddled. They were ranked good or excellent for all these years. They both had adhd and could not focus or stay on task. One constantly drew and colored on their desk all day or watched movies. The other would bring hobbies to work and play with them on his desk. The male would sleep at his desk or find a place to hide out and sleep. Both the these special workers would work from home and were allowed by the management. These employees would also only stay six hours a day. They would say their drive was long and that counted as work. They were like teflon and nothing could touch them. Eventually the supervisors moved on and their ranking dropped. Now you would think they would be nsi or piped but you are wrong. They are constantly held at NI protected from dropping below this. Other hard working employees i n our group have been nsied piped and these two gems have been spared. It is just sickening to see and experience this.
If you get NI in your first 5 years, you are automatically put on a PIP or take the PIL.
If you get an NSI in your first 5 years, you only get the PIL (and no chance for a PIP).
Cheap to severance ppl out with less years.
Not automatic, but reality is if you're NI in the first few years you'll probably be NSI multiple times in your career
They go after the under 5 year people all the time. They don't want them to vest and have to pay money. It's always about fu--ing money at this place.
@OP At less than 5yrs exp they’re still coachable and trainable.
It’s the ones who have been there for 10+ years that are the real problem. I’m not sure what they put in the company Kool-Aid, but it’s clearly powerful stuff.
I also have no idea what makes any of you think that you’re worth more than (maybe) $175k/year. Some of you have asked for $400k (!) After interviewing several of you, I’m convinced that EM imparts nothing of value to their U.S. based engineering workforce. Many of you failed to answer basic technical questions correctly that people with less than 3yrs exp were able to correctly guess at.
Yes it's true- just happened to my coworker who was under 5 yrs.
