Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

@2scu+1pjcoP5O
There’s no more “primrose path” even for the chosen ones. Look on LI and see a bunch of “high potential” people who have been just PIPed because their jobs have to move to BCT. The pie is shrinking and even the high potential parasites are in the Hunger Games now.

Juicybootlicker, I’m curious to know what asset you belong to. Care to share?

Find a therapist in network with our insurance and go. It’s relatively cheap and we all need the support.

Have you tried calling help desk?

That's why I went to work at Space X

I guess nobody picked up on the fact that the OP is trolling.

LoL some of you wrote f’n essays in response to this post.

@2ryo They’re not stealing your jobs guy.

Your douchebag bosses are giving them away. From a cost perspective they have a point. Why would I pay you $200k/year to edit purchase specs when I can get three people in India with (maybe) 30% of your ability to do it for 20% of the cost? Between the three of them I get 90% of what I’d get from you for 80% less. Tell me that you wouldn’t do the same thing.

I finally gave in and went to a therapist. One of the first questions I asked: am I alone doing this? Blunt answer, they see many people from xom. The rate has increased since the pandemic and continues. It's not cheap, but I suggest if you're dealing with these pressures, seek the help. Your own wellbeing and your family's depends on it.

Nothing ki-ls employee drive more than not being appreciated for working hard.

I recently went to a therapist for work related stress and a panic attack. My therapist has several clients from EM and asked me what the he-l is going on over there 🤣

If you ask me it is the ranking system that is incredibly biased, it rewards a-s kissing and agreeableness more than quality of work. And there is nothing. You. Can. Do. About it BECAUSE the people who have been put in charge are, surprise, the yesmen.

.....you recently joined as a new grad straight out of school???????

You are either lazy, or a B student, or $tupid, or you didn't do propper due diligence.

Did you discover this website just now?

Well you deserve every bit of misery you are experiencing now.

Cut your losses and get the Fk out or here before it's too late, dummy

OP - Welcome to the Exxon culture. Think of it like hazing. They identify HiPos very early and evaluate potential for first 5 years. IF you survive the 5 years you'll either be on the primrose path or join the masses who didn't make the cut and do the heavy day to day lifting. If they out and out just don't like you for some reason you'll simply be gone within first 5 years. It's a very well known and accepted phenomena that some new hires think it's a BS system and have better things to do. You won't break anyone's heart if you choose to leave. It's just the Exxon way.

Sc--w India! They buy Russian oil and they are stealing our jobs. China has cheap laborers too. I suppose you are down with that as well!

@2kra+1pjcoP5O It's so gratifying when people like you expose themselves for the fools they are! Exxonmobil is making ungodly amounts of money and you suggests the employees take self imposed cuts in pay. The pay that Exxonmobil agreed to pay them! That Exxonmobil offered to them! God cannot help how re--rded you are or maybe you are19 just part of the brainwashed population.

Calling low cost countries scab shows that you are:

• a neanderthal
• low IQ
• probably a racist

If you don't want these low cost countries to "steal" your job, then volunteer to cut your salary to bring the cost down to the company. How about that? I don't know about you, but I'm going to keep rolling on my Mercedes and go with the flow.

Calling your coworkers in low cost country scabs shows (a) you don’t know who is actually to blame for this (hint, not low level employees), and (b) that it will continue to go this way primarily because you’ve misdiagnosed it and you’re stoopid.

You think some kid in India is going to give up a good living (for that country) because you’re being an ahole? Grow up.

Spoiler Alert: You don’t have to work for XOM. I have been here +25 years and still enjoy my job. I am certain there would be aspects of the company I would change if I could but I do what I can. I am certain that many of the folks responding on this topic negatively would probably be just as miserable anywhere else. By all means please take your invaluable skills elsewhere and spare us the complaining. Use your vast knowledge and start your own company. What a miserable lot…..

@1fmj+1pjcoP5O the kid is right! Been in the business 40 years and I have never seen a major more hateful, spiteful, disrespectful, demeaning and abusive to their employees! I am certain there are plenty of younger people that do not mind hard work. Work isn't the issue the hatred, disrespect and complete lack of a shred of loyalty in any shape or form is the issue! Sc--w LOW COST COUNTRIES AND SCABS! SC--W WORKING FOR A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING OTHER THAN FEAR MONGERING AND PITTING EVERYONE AGAINST EACH OTHER! SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO OUR CURRENT POLITICIANS! LOW COST COUNTRIES LIKE BTC ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS!

@1oek+1pjcoP5O what a f!!!ing a!!hole you are! You are the problem! It does not have to be like this!

Rotator guy: shut up. You got a great deal and the rest of us didn’t. At this point your upbeat happy schtick is showing itself for what it really is - sadistically rubbing it in.

Upstream EM was good for me. 35 years of rotating 28/28. Top pay. Great projects world wide. Best job in the oil field EM Pension is very nice indeed.

Never stop looking for the next job

Don't stress too much. You're actually in a good position for a new grad. You're being paid well and getting to see what it's like inside the corporate environment of a super major. Keep your resume polished, seek opportunities internally that will give you marketable skills, and always be keeping your eye on the job market. If you're in an area were you're only learning BS skills that don't matter outside the market. Asked to be move to a new role that will give you those skills. Don't make the mistake a lot of these seniors who thought they would be here for 40 years made. Exxon has only three goals: (1) Profit (2) Profit and (3) Profit. You and every engineer is cost that they will aggressively try to reduce. Your biggest mistake right now is getting comfortable and stagnant. Exxon doesn't give a single F about you. Keep your skills sharp and be prepared to leave at any moment. That's how you survive.

It’s that old school conservative mentality, dominate and control every part of a workers life, strip away your pride and humanity. They won’t be happy until they can tell you what color shirt to wear.

Dear Abby,

Work is hard. Water is wet. That’s why you are paid and have benefits. Kid some of us have being doing this for 25 years and not bi--hing about it. Good grief.

Welcome to the real world.

Sc--w it for now. Do a poor pi-s job for the first two years. Take their money, polish your resume up and jump.

OP, I'm really sorry that you were fooled by the ExxonMobil HR propaganda cr-p. But, you're young. You can recover. You must start looking for another job right this minute. ExxonMobil hires new grads and staff in general just to put them in the lowest ranking groups to protect the chosen ones. It has nothing to do with your performance, HR needs somebody to take the fall to protect the chosen ones. Also your job will be sent to India soon so you'll be fired anyway. Get your resume in order and start applying for jobs. That's the best advice I can give you.

Upstream is mild compared to downstream. Try a hitch at brcp if you want to see crazy

Learn to eat live and breath the PADP process. Make sure every task you say yes to will maximize your ranking. Nothing else matters. Don't listen to anyone blabbering about collaboration. I guarantee you that no one cares how "helpful" you were to others during ranking. What did YOU deliver? How much did YOU do? Getting the hint?

Your job can be outsourced to BTC. Goodbye!
