What a bad joke. Look at all the posts on this board trying to interpret what the layoff announcement means. Leave it to XOM to design a layoff that is obtuse, vague and perplexing. The fact that highly educated people are confused about what... — read more 

Today they announced layoffs for only the non-represented staff. Has anyone heard anything about the plan for Represented employees? Timeline on when to expect it?

Canada is safe now?

Most Affected Maxed out mortgage, bought 10% more house than he can afford. 8 yr Car Loan @$550+ per month Assumed sh!t doesn't happen, not in the oil industry, or not to him. Only happens to other people. Least Affected Bought 50% less... — read more 

Did ANYBODY learn today they were laid off or not?

Down to 5 companies, exploration, development, production, downstream, and XTO, no chemicals, no URC, and no EMRE. 1/10 of the present size with half the present oil/gas assets.

4 months is not much of an incentive. Retirement eligible employees who believe they are safe will stay and those who believe they are vulnerable will wait to see if they get selected for the involuntary phase that has a much larger payout. Predict... — read more

Does anyone know the current headcount for “upstream” as DW is using the term? I’m currently in D/S (after U/S from years ago) but would like to know % being removed from U/S (750 out of X)?

Once you lose your employees’ trust that leadership will act in accordance with the stated company values, it’s gone. First the way COVID was handled, then the PIPs of high performing people who challenged management, then the lack of transparency... — read more

Let's use this thread to consolidate info on the serverance pay. So far we completed almost 50% of the cuts without paying a severance.

For the expats in the house: US expats working outside US non US expats working in US What do you think with happen in the coming weeks or months to these expats? Will they cut or freeze expat benefits?

The 1900 cuts announced today added to the 1600 cuts recently completed (NSI group) is a total of 3500. This is a 19% reduction in the U.S. workforce (excluding site level Operations employees). They completed almost half of the cuts without paying... — read more

35% of HR employees will be gone. Add to that the 8-10% NSI group recently departed and it’s a 43-45% reduction! Another 8-10% in next year’s PIP process will take it well over 50%! Ouch!!!

Way to go guys! Great timing. DW announces no change to the 10% dividend to be paid while we lose billions per quarter. Then immediately announces layoffs. Suddenly no more complaints about whether or not this is irresponsible... — read more 

Post your findings from the 11am supervisor meeting for GPC here.

It’s a little confusing. It says “ the Following groups of employees will not be considered eligible for this program: employees currently on an active Performance Improvement Plan” So if we passed the PIP, are we still considered under the PIP... — read more 

14000 target by 2022 1900 in US 1600 in Europe 150 in Australia We're still roughly 10k short. I doubt we already released 10k in contractors & NSI yet. Also if XOM is growing in GBCs, HC would have to decline at other sites to... — read more 

So in many cases, those who were PIP’d and PIL’d got a more significant severance than those who are going to be laid off. Thanks LT. We truly feel appreciated!

There you go, by BusinessInsider... Exxon is slashing its global workforce by 15%, and up to 1,900 US workers could lose their jobs. Here's a detailed timeline and a look at which roles will be cut. Exxon on Thursday said it would cut as many... — read more

We know they're going to lay off 1,900 people but we also know they'll only notify only a part of them today? And the rest will learn their fate between now and December 15? So the nightmare will continue for another month and a half, at least? Are... — read more 

The chemical company is basically not impacted as the margins are very strong post-Covid.

The layoff announcement today of 1900 gone by end of year is only thing we can take at face value. DW has lost all credibility for his deception back in May with the veiled layoffs. Do not believe the numbers through the next 2 years is set. If I... — read more 

Let's compile what each company gets told during these 9am meetings. Are we all getting the same message, or are the numbers/messgaes different?

As the title says. Post your chats here during Liam and Linda meeting.

Let’s get this trending.

I think there's a consensus that today's the day? I'll be deeply disappointed if it turns out not to be true. Not because I'm particularly eager to be laid off, I don't think anybody is hoping for that in this economy. I'm just more than ready for... — read more
