Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

@a9 Exxon lawyer who never saw inside of court. Lost on this issue before, law was d-mb enough to pip the person coordinating all the lawsuits for unlawful terminations. 100s of people mobilizing. Most important, federal government forming task force to investigate.

Only chance is a class action lawsuit for age discrimination. Save anything that can be used as evidence. Can we make this happen?

@c1 it’s not legal. Ford settled a lawsuit in 2001 for $10.5 million for engaging in the same forced stacked ranking to sc--w older people out of their pensions right before retirement and scrapped the entire rating system. Now they secretly brought it back thinking nobody would notice. A lot of directors have quit over the RTO policy and other issues and exposed it to current employees. You can’t fire someone with 28 years of stellar performance just because they’re about to retire with a pension in 2 years.

Even if it is legal it is not right. What happened to upholding the highest ethical standards. Bunch of thieves and crooks the executives are.

I have heard of several employees forced out this year at 14 years service or 54 years old. EM policy to exit near retirement eligible then move jobs to 1/10 salary people is unethical, especially in high oil prices.

Risking billions to save Pennie’s.

These cases are usually settled out of court. Corporations hate jury trials regarding someone that is close to retirement.

@a9 Federal labor law has protections for employees near retirement and these cases go to a jury trial typically. Juries hate corporations.

@OP Guaranteed to go nowhere.

This is just another boomer/GenX “expert” who failed to keep up and was shown the door. Now he’s throwing a tantrum and he found a lawyer d-mb enough to take this into a federal court. Corporate lawyers will rip this to shreds.
