ExxonMobil’s long‑term trend of quietly reducing employee benefits and shifting more cost and inconvenience onto employees

This isn’t anecdotal. it’s a structural pattern that has unfolded over the last decade and accelerated since 2020.

What Exxon’s Benefit Reductions Actually Signal (Long‑Term)

Each individual cut: education reimbursement, donation matching, expat premium reductions, private offices → hot desks — looks small on its own.

But together, they form a coherent corporate strategy:

  1. Exxon is shifting from a “career company” to a “cost‑optimized operator.”

The old Exxon (pre‑2015) invested heavily in:
• employee development
• long‑term retention
• premium benefits
• stability

The new Exxon is optimizing for:
• lower fixed costs
• higher capital efficiency
• leaner overhead
• shareholder returns

This is not a temporary phase it’s the new operating model.

  1. Benefits are being cut because Exxon thinks the pension keeps people locked in.

Exxon’s leadership believes:
• The pension is golden handcuffs.
• Most employees won’t leave after 10–15 years.
• They can reduce benefits without losing many people.

This is why:
• Education reimbursement was cut
• Donation matching was cut
• Expat premiums were reduced
• Offices were eliminated
• Reimbursements were removed

The pension is to do the retention work, so benefits no longer need to.

  1. Exxon is moving toward a “market‑median” benefits model.

Historically, Exxon was top‑quartile in benefits.
Now it is intentionally moving toward median.

This reduces cost and is said to increase shareholder return but it reduces employee value.

  1. The company is signaling that culture will not return to the old model.

Hot‑desking, reduced expat premiums, and benefit cuts are not temporary.

They are part of a permanent cultural shift:
• More transactional
• More cost‑driven
• Less employee‑centric

This is the opposite direction of other companies, which despite volatility still invest heavily in employee experience.

Employee appreciation

I thought the employee appreciation day in HQ was so well done, I really enjoyed hearing about all the award winners. The food trucks were an added bonus to bad it’s only once a year. Would be nice to see people smile like that once a quarter. Plus I think bring your kid day should definitely be brought back it’s fun seeing the little kids!

Thanks canon and Sammy for a good day.

We're living through systemic failures without even realizing it

Teams have been gutted, some repeatedly, by layoffs and reorgs that solve nothing. Yes, talent is expensive. But when you're too lazy to cut strategically and just go for the simplest savings, you shed the people you actually need. Meanwhile, the endless turmoil ki-ls morale, ki-ls commitment, and ki-ls any chance of long-term planning. Chaos like that always turns out to be far more expensive in the end.

What’s the definition of nepotism?

For all those who use the word, what is the definition?

I ask because the spirit of your callout is just, but you further yourself as an id--t and follower (entertaining) by consistently demonstrating you don't know the definition nor have a desire to seek it and the accurate term for what you describe.

These days, I do good work only for myself

I know Exxon couldn't care less. There's no reward coming, and I'll likely be shown the door eventually without management giving it a second thought. But I'd lose my mind if I spent 8 to 10 hours a day just skating by, working only for a paycheck. I honestly don't know how some people manage to do that so easily.

Memorial Hermann back in network

I hope they don’t keep doing this to us every year to try to juice their profits by Pennie’s. Maybe we can use some of that excess Iran war profit to improve benefits for employees

Where do ideas like the elimination of NRE originate?

Where do ideas like the elimination of NRE and more aggressive firing of employees placed in NSI originate from? What is the “problem” that they think they are solving with these changes? The only clear explanation is a desire to reduce the number of US employees without having to perform a layoff. I would like to know who was told to find a way to cut more employees and proposed this as the solution.

Dr-g Testing

I wonder how panelists would feel if they knew that the Field Reps going into their homes, and driving through their neighborhoods are not dr-g tested? Huge liability for Nielsen as many of their field employees are under the influence at work, especially in states with legal ca--abis.

Laid off

I was let go from my job at Meta, and I now have 60 days to find a new job or I will have to leave the UK.

This morning, I went into the office for what I thought was a normal one-on-one with my manager. I had even prepared a document to update her on all of my projects. She sat down, joined a call, and at first I thought she was about to present something. Then another woman appeared on the big monitor, and I realized this was that kind of meeting.

I was surprisingly calm, partly because my original manager had been laid off the month before, and there had already been rumors of layoffs at Meta.

After the meeting, I had to gather my things and leave the office right away. I turned in my equipment and my badge. My manager even asked whether I wanted to grab any snacks before I left. Of course, I did. Then I went back home.

I messaged people on LinkedIn and then jumped on a WhatsApp call to let them know what had happened.

I came to the UK on a Skilled Worker visa, and HR told me that my visa sponsorship through Meta is now canceled. I have a 60-day grace period to find another job.

So, welcome to my new series: trying to find a job within 60 days.

#Layoff #Layoffs #Employees

There you have it !

https://www.edhat.com/beyond-local/news/california-toy-giant-mattel-inc-to-lay-off-65-employees-at-headquarters/#
Toy giant Mattel, the maker of Barbie and Hot Wheels, is laying off employees from its El Segundo headquarters, according to a notice to state authorities.

The company is expected to permanently lay off 65 employees from its headquarters located at 333 Continental Blvd in El Segundo, Los Angeles County, according to its official WARN notice.

Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) Act, employers are legally mandated to provide a minimum of 60 days’ notice prior to plant closures, mass layoffs, or major relocations. The notice gives local agencies and staff time to prepare, according to WARN.

Mattel submitted the documentation on March 23, 2025, and it was processed the following day. The layoffs will be effective from May 22, 2026, the WARN filing showed.

This is the second time Mattel has laid off employees from its headquarters within a few months. In January 2026, the company laid off 89 employees, according to WARN filings.

Citing a Mattel spokesperson, a news report by Los Angeles Business Journal said that the layoffs in January were part of its effort to restructure its global brands team.

Most of the impacted employees held senior or executive positions, including significant roles on Barbie, action figures, and games teams, the report added.

In March 2025, Mattel laid off 120 workers from its headquarters, most of whom held positions like manager, director, and vice president, according to a Los Angeles Times report. The job losses were part of the cost-cutting effort as the company focused on maximizing its profits.

Citing Mattel spokesperson Catherine Frymark, the news report said that the company was targeting $200 million in cost savings by 2026.

Earlier layoff notices showed that Mattel reduced 439 employees from its El Segundo headquarters since 2020, according to the Los Angeles Business Journal.

Silos

Pepsi has moved to an extreme silo model, more so than ever. I believe this is what is really taking its toll on employees. From the front line to the directors, there is evident frustration across all levels. Not only do you have the customer pressure, but our internal pressures create a lose lose environment. This is likely by design and don’t expect things to get better any time soon for employees of Pepsi.

Careful planning deprives employees of severance

That was a particularly sh---y thing to do. It would seem that there were many long term employees eligible. Someone did the math and decided to create a plan to avoid paying it. At the very least, the severance took some of the sting and created a cushion for departing employees. This was a vile trick to play on them. It would be worthwhile to let the Jacksonville paper of record know what they are doing. Someone should pick up the phone.

It's become quite clear Boeing has zero interest in improving employee morale or correcting the mistreatment of employees

Anytime Boeing employees post details on here about how they have been mistreated by their Boeing managers. The Posts never stay up long due to the fact that the Boeing company goes head over heels to have critical posts removed and swept under the rug, whenever someone shares a personal account of how they have been mistreated, intimidated and sometimes threatened by their Boeing managers.

The Ethics Code Boeing forces employees to sign is garbage because very few Boeing managers abide themselves to the ethic code.

Mav folks are going to be SPANKED in May when it fails

I feel sorry for all those who have been diligintly working hard on the MAV project for the last 2 years because, many of them could only do so much with as little as they were given..

Unfortunately, because the original "go live" date was pushed back to May, most of the "top dog" mav people are likely in hotwater already. Then when it 100% will half work when it's forced to go live in May, the blame will be placed on the engineers, architechs, and managers who were in charge of shhiitt..

People team openly sc-mmy

I sit near the “people team” at one of our locations and there’s a very loud male employee who openly talks about “lowballing” candidates and mocking them for asking questions about return to office. You’re all low life henchmen and women for this disgusting EC. You can’t handle simple requests yet you act like you’re the all knowing and all mighy.

Text cheating scandal

Has anyone else been contacted by a corporate auditor about everyone in the Permian cheating on the entry exam at XOM? I am still trying to understand the benefit of superintendent’s having hat contractors cheat on the test. If you want quality employees you would think you would want people that can pass the test without cheating.
