How many are left to be notified?

But I have to pretend to work for 3 months to get my severance. Going to be doing the work in my job description and nothing more. Other people can start doing their own work because I’m done doing the work of 3 people. Like everything else XOM... — read more 

I observed that people in my group that were let go (as well as in the groups of several friends) had their meetings first thing in the morning. There were previous posts on this site that suggested that each group would take a randomized approach... — read more 

Early morning 1:1 meeting with SDM. I pretty much knew at that point. SDM started with the sob story and pandemic and then told me I was selected. I was EMIT - recently rotated into the new role. Ranked really high in my previous role. My... — read more 

Lots of folks mentioning you are to immediately log off from your computer if you are told the involuntary leave news, leaving no room to send a goodbye letter to colleagues. I suggest if anyone's worried to draft one up now so you can send it out... — read more

Only good workers and friends so far I can tell but still hopeful some of these disgraceful leaders will be held to account. Heard of anyone yet?

If you were laid off let us know in what area.

Does anyone have a breakdown of the 1900 layoffs by function or by location (as was shown for those in Europe)? All I’ve heard is possibly 15 in EMRE LT and 10 in EMRE FPO. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard back from any of my former colleagues. — read more

When is GP going to hear anything? Is it really about 40%? Pretty nervous over here.

No matter how good the people under are, they are restricted by the people above them. Good workers are hampered by poor management. Good management is handcuffed by poor executives. Good ideas are left to die by poor leadership. When the focus... — read more 

Involuntary list published yesterday - Communicators should be notifying everyone today and tomorrow. The org chart will be published later, as that work is still being developed.

People seem to be certain everybody company-wide will be notified by tomorrow. Where is that coming from? Did I miss an announcement or something?

I want to start by saying thank you for the opportunity to work for this company the past few years. I count them as valuable years that I do not regret spending with you. I leave the company today with my head held high knowing that I did the job I... — read more 

Exxon's continued financial decline and layoffs even as it pays out shareholders point to the danger of unmanaged decline for the oil industry. I feel like a broken... https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2020/12/exxon-continues-unprecedented-tumble/

No scheduled 1:1, supervisor hit me up on iM and asked if I had a minute. Gave me the news, told me some next steps, took my personal email address for the formal docs. On leave immediately and off payroll Feb. 1. That easy, nothing personal against... — read more 

Curious to know cl and age/experience of those that don't make it. Any trend?

Any domestic or international rotators get told anything yet? Nothing yet on my team.

Anyone know numbers for EMRE?

Hi all, I was PIPed unexpectedly in July. I started my new job at a Fortune 30 company yesterday and am loving it. There is life after Exxon and it’s pretty good. You WILL find a job! Every person I’ve talked to who has left Exxon over the... — read more 

It is getting harder and harder to maintain my motivation as a USA based IT employee. The focus is purely on moving more and more work to GBCs. I was hoping to stay for a career, but now I'm thinking it is time to continue focusing on upskilling and... — read more 

Anybody learn anything today yet?

To prolong the agony!

I'm trying to remain hopeful but how? What other options are there in a week when long-announced layoffs are starting? Plese, let me know if you have any idea what it could be. Because I highly doubt anybody will be discussing a raise with their... — read more 

Instead of inbreeding, bring a new CEO from outside with different perspectives and fresh ideas. Fire the existing management and install a fresh one. That is the only solution!

Or will they spread it out? Several coworkers received invitations for a private meeting with our manager and they're resigned to the fact that that's it for them. What I'd like to know is, if our department has already been hit, does it mean we are... — read more 

Its sad to see XTO losing so many folks in these turbulent times and unfair layoffs. I call it unfair because RTD has these teams called Grand Challenges to supposedly solve our Permian problems. Dozen of phDs with no clue of what they are doing... — read more

What have you learned about yourself from all this? What are you going to do different in the future?

What are you prioritizing in your job search? Compensation? Work environment? Moving closer to family? Mission of organization? What are your deal breakers?

Are you feeling financially prepared for layoff? Will you be able to span period of unemployment? How long do you think it will take to find a job?

Usually I am asleep before my head hits the pillow. Work hard play hard. Not so much tonight.

This has been cooking so long that it has lost shock value. My zoom meeting is on Thursday. If they tell me I am laid off, should I act like I am shocked? Or just show no emotion? I want to hold my head high and walk away with dignity. What type... — read more 

Heard from some colleagues today that they were blocked from posting on this site for almost a week. If this site is really anonymous, how can they block you?

How TF is it possible to be laying off individual contributors while they have an easy 10 SLS above heads!? DHs are litterally trying to find “something” for these people to do! Waste of money

Will of course be heart-warming! But will it ever happen?

Hoping managers on this board can shed some light. Which employees will they communicate to first? The ones that are laid off or the ones that are safe?

Has anyone found out already?

So I saw during the PIP layoffs folks use the Skype status to leave a message for everyone. You can leave a personal email or phone number. If I’m let go a :( face will be place there and my new personal email address. If I don’t get... — read more
