Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

ExxonMobil sc--ws loyal employees

The company when hired 17 years ago promised a long-term career. I performed really well initially and began moving to different jobs every 1-2 years. I always felt as soon as I really understood and could add value they rotated me. Management told me I’m gaining exposure to all aspects of the business to be a future leader.

Now the company reduced my potential And I’m sure they want to replace me with a low cost employee in India.

I’ve started looking elsewhere but I’m not qualified because I’m a generalist and master of nothing. It’s like the 15 years of dedicated service were for nothing. My options are to stay knowing I have limited upside or take a pay cut and start all over.

If you don’t have control of your work life, having to compromise yourself is part of the deal here.

@OP 17 years is a good haul. If you’ve been thrifty you should be a millionaire a few times over by now. Not sure I’m following you here.

And this is why I will never take another expat assignment. Dr-g my family all over the world. Missed extended family events. Made sacrifices for the company. And now that I am closer to 50 than 40 the company starts dropping my ranking with the only explanation being that it is very competitive. There is no credit for making sacrifices and loyalty so do not give either.

Stating the obvious, but you should not expect loyalty from any corporation and you should not give them any either.

I know of a 15 year former employee who finally quit the company as a result of the declining morale in the Bayou State Chem Plant. He is a highly talented engineer that was sc--wed by ExxonMobil.
