Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Round 2 of dec 1 cuts underway....

Employees are not loosing their jobs for lack of work at plants.... they are gone to save pennies in comparison to the overstuffed SLS and above... 31 years with the company, 3 DH’s and 15 SLS to in the past 5 years- 4 DH’s, 1 excellence advisor” (made up role) and 32 SLS’s (btls, r leads) no SLS cut..... give me a break..... have to pay the dividend so make cut backs....number one is to stop the bleeding and as long as dividends are paid at an amount based on projections that are not happening and the Corp continues with the high salaries for SLS and above, they are only going to keep bleeding.... to truly get back to basics you must cut the fluff and they are NOT willing to do that ....

The Baytown site is a joke. Just people milking the mothership for all it's worth. There is so much waste and abuse that goes on there it's unbelievable. Maybe it's like that at all XOM sites, but I was shocked when I got there to say the least. The only advice I can give you is to play their game and milk the company for every undeserving penny while you can. If you don't do it someone else will, and eventually the music will end, so make sure you are in the best financial position you can.

Here is a survival tip. Quit your engineering position and apply for a wage earner process job.

They moved us back to 50% at BR until Jan 14.

Any one notice they aren’t communicating the recent spike of covid cases in the site?
During a staff meeting last week, one of us was shut down quickly by a group lead

Lie. Cheat. Steal. Backstab. Have 2 faces. Hold grudges, these are The Golden Standard of Morals at Baytown.

Lmao planning meetings for a planning meeting. Oh Baytown, you ever change

Kiss as much rear end as you can and just have an exit strategy ready.

#weAreExxonMobil love having planning meetings ahead of actual planning meetings for any actual meeting with actual maters at hand. It’s engrained in us, if you’ve been here for 5 years then it should be engrained in you by now too.

So take that “meeting planning before a meeting” skills and just plan for a just in case scenario.

Site Leadership knows many of need to be employed and literally get off knowing that vulnerability in people. Don’t give em that.

Do the job to the best of your ability, then do it better.

In spring now, Baytown s—s. Glad I’m not at that site anymore more.
Too many yokels in the front lines with no larger picture view of things and how they function.
I kept getting told “that’s how it’s always been” when I asked about processes or tried to provide efficiency.

And since they technically had a higher CL, my group lead said not to go against the grain.
Fck that backwards-a– place and management
