Thread regarding BP PLC layoffs

Coming to a performance review near you soon

Lloyds Banking Group will put thousands of its staff at risk of dismissal, with the UK bank’s lowest performers set to be told their work must improve or they face the axe.

The bank plans to overhaul how it manages the performance of its 63,000 employees, according to people with knowledge of the plans, with about 3,000 people deemed among the bottom 5 per cent set to be put at risk of dismissal. About half of those could lose their jobs, the people added.

This is how the 10% in bp will be managed out with the new performance review system.. starting next year (the article also says the bottom 5% will be put on improvement plans..hmm where did i hear that before).. nothing new across industry and the above is wat cheaper than current redundancy programme.. don't say you were not warned !!!

MA and GB were pretty clear yesterday at a North Sea townhall on that’s exactly how the performance system will be used with the bottom 10%. They will be put on a PIP and managed out of the business.

@eh I didn’t say xom was never worried. And when I say layoffs, I mean mass layoffs. Restructuring and refining an organization is a normal corporate process that results in some headcount reductions, but we’re cutting a major chunk of our non-retail functions with push from markets to cut harder. So no, I’m sorry but it is not the same as I am talking about. Every large corporation has what you are talking about.

@a5 XOM here - we are CONSTANTLY worried about disguised (and not so disguised) strategic headcount reduction. They're cutting as deep as possible in HC10 (Europe/NA/Aus/Singapore).

well wasn't this obvious from the moment it was announced?

p.s now the technology re-org is complete, how many months will it before the next bad news they'll impose on us (remuneration package decreases/benefit reductions)

Worked for Exxon. Their culture su-ks, but as long as they perform well they’re not worried about layoffs as much as we are.
